BRIDGE OVER CEDAR. -Numerous
ly signed petitions asking for All ap
preparation for the purpose of build
ing a bridge over the Cedar River at
Covers Ferry, have beer presented
to the county Supervisors Mt the
present session. Aud on Tuesday
the matter was further brought be-
fore the Board by the appearance #
a delegation from the vicinity in
question, who added personal repre-
sentation to the force Of the petitions.
The matter seems to have been first
brought before the Board with the
idea that the desired appropriation Of
fifteen thousand dollars would be
sufficient TO coinpiete the work; bot
that could only b. b. the oonstruc
ton of wooden bridge, and the
Supervisors very sensibly hesitated
about putting The county money into
anything but permanent aud sub
stantial iron structure Of new and
approved construction. After con-
siderable discussion, the further con
sideration Of the matter was post
pone2 until tomorrow "Wednesday
afternoon. From what can be learned
Of the situation at this writing we are
inclined to think hat the Board will
grant the appropriation Of $4,000
prorided enough in Hilton thereto
shall be subscribed and paid by pr.
vate parties to insure the erection OF
a first class iron bridge which it is
estimated will require from twenty
to tyenty-one thousand dollar.
We shall be glad to see bridge
over the Cedar at either the north Or
south crossing, because that means
second one in due time; and it is
only by two bridges that public ne
cessity and convenience cal be prop
erly subservei. Bat we have always
anticipated that territory and popula
ton would demand the first bridge at
the south crossing AMI still think that
there is the greater necessity and
consequently the more natural point
for the beginning. Bat while the
citizens in thai vicinity have been
either passive or actually adverse,
their northern neighbors have been
up and doing with very apparent
results provid ng matters turn oat as
we aniicil at.
LArER.--Tne Supervisors on the
recurrence of the bridge question
yes. e day, took the following action
by the adoption OF Sheldon's rssolu-
ton:
Resotoed, That We take immediate
steps toward ascertaining the cost of
bridging the Cedar river at Cedar
Bluffs. or Covers Ferry, by appoint
ing committee TO examine and re.
port, or otherwise, with the view u
building bridge at that point pro-
vided . good and substantial bridge
can be built by an appropriation Of
fifteen thousand dollars.
Resolved, That committee Of ;
be appointed to ascertain the exac,
width Of the river at Covers Ferry
and correspond with bridge builder:
with view of procuring bids for the
erection Of bridge at that point and
report at the next meeting.
o. II. Helmer, G. p. Sheldon ant
II. G. Coe were appointed said COM
mi,tee.

SToP THAT COUGH Many hesitate to
try medicine for a decease, on account
OF the expense, connected with the un'
certainty of its benetitting them; while
at the same time, they had confidence in
that remedy, the expense would be the
least objection. With this fact in view
We make the following proposition: Any
person suffering with a cold, cough OIL
sore throat, that will call at A NJ. Krk''
drug store and purchase bottle of "Haie''
Cough Cordial" use one half Of it, and
if they conclude that it is doing them
no good, they can return the bottle and
receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in thisiyicinity
that produced such magical results

BROrGils Tho advertisement
Of this, one Of the finest bred horses
III the country, appears prominently
in another part Of this paper. Broug-
ham is own son to Rysdyk's HANDLE
tonian, Justly the most celebrated
sire of fine horses in this or any coun-
try, and is worthy representative of
his family. The death of the old
horse, only few days ago, has flied
the papers with descriptions Of him
and "reminiscences Of his wonderful ca
reer, from which we shall next week
make coplous extracts, containing
facts and information that can not
fail TO be Of great interest to all who
own, use or admire the horse most
useful and noble Of all the brute
creation. Some idea of the
extensive progeny Of the old HANDLE
tonian, and their ever increasing
value, will be gained from the table
which is published in connection
with the advertisement before re-

that Brougham, now the property Of
