put IN the lowest bid, were on Tuesday evening
awarded the city printing. The bid of the FREl
TRADER was lower on job printing, but highe
for space in the paper for publishing ordinances

ton of the Council, (perhaps correetlyJ const
tutc the heaviest item, the Republican bid was
considered the lowest.
The upshot of it is, that while the FREE TEAL DER
can do job printing cheaper than the Republican
they regard the advertising space in their paper
as worth something, while the Republican folks
regard theirs as worth nothing, in which We quite
agree with them.

Farewell, old March, your fun is DER,
At least for eighteen sevunty-iour,
And in this farewell note of mine,
ocg that you the pledge will sign,
You acted as if drunk with winc)
And be civil fellow
o, March, you're worse than any sot!
You visit every body's cot
And make us with rheumatiCs ache,
And with the ague make us shake,
And give us regular Modoc steaks
By burning us with fever.
Where do you 90 to- March-say-when
Your yearly spree is at an end?
DO you go off to some country old
And spend your year in revels bold,
The thought of which makes the blood rur cold
You dssipated fellow?
Y gu rattle the windows in your glee,
But do not stop to answer me.
SO, good bye, March, when you come again
hope you'll try to be more sane
That our next parting may leave les. pain
On my side, at least.
