A terrible fight occurred ia one Of the

Mortified the inhabitants. There were
four Yankees and four Germans. The

Wapsie river, and were generally kaown
as the 'Wapsie Tigers The Germans
were used up pretty badly; every one
received 4 bad bump, and one had his

FROM the published proceedings 0:
the County Supervisors it viii appear
that petition asking a vote upon
the question Of bridge across the
Cedar river at Covers Ferry was
dismissed by the Board. In consid-
GRAFTON of the number of times which
the subject of a bridge across Cedar
river atone place or another has been
negatived by the people of Cedar
county, no one could expect the
Supervisors to set in motion the cum
brous machinery of vote taking,
again upon the petition Of but thirty
eight citizens. But while this is
true, in our humble opinion it is also
true that it is a shame to our rich
and populous county to be to-day
without at least one bridge across
the river which divides i, and OBJ
structs accommodation as does
the Cedar. Different causes have in
the past prevented the success Of
any bridge building enterprise, chief
among which was local jealousy; but
it is certainly high time that minor
considerations were laid aside and q
united expression given in favor of
the common good. Two bridges, at
least, is what the county will eventu-
ally have to build over Cedar river:
and the sooner this fact is recognized,
and one Of them put under way, the
sooner the long-suffering bridge
question" will be settled in the only
final and satisfactory manner.

City Hall. The programme will con-
sist Of the usual round of declama-
tons, dialogues, tableaux, &C., in
Guiding some exercises upon which
considerable time and pains have been
lavished. The proceeds, we suppose,
arc to be devoted to the enlargement
and replenishment of the scientific
apparatus, which, under the manage
ment of Mr. Scott with the liberal CO.
operation Of the Board, is already an
honor to our public schools.

POPULAR AND PRACrIcAL.-We

Schools Of Upton at the Methodist

afternoon for the purpose of having
a good "sing." and also looking to
the organization Of class in the
rudiments of vocal music. Prof. r.
has peculiar faculty, born of natural
aptitude and long experience, for in
tercstipg and instructing the children
in this very desirable study. 4 fine
singer himself and full of enthusiasm,
he not only awakens in all a desire
to learn, but he so skilfully ministers
to that des re that all do learn. He
is at present teaching class Of near
" hundred at Mechanicsville, and
we hope that the same plan made use
Of there NAV be adopted here, riz:
To raise by subscription the very
moderate sum required by the Pro-
fessor for term Of lessons, and then
throw open the school to any and all
children who may desire to attend.
He will fix his remuneration at SO
much per lesson, and thus the term
will be longer or shorter according
to the amount of money raised. Up
on the other plan of requiring a
stated sum from each pupil, some
perhaps many-of our children will
be prevented from attending. And
as such course Of lessons is not
only greatly enjoyed by all the chill
dren but is also of great practical
value to them, We hope il may be
popularized and made free to them
