We are unable to announce positively the
result OF the bridge bond election. Our opin-

1--we remember correctly, at the general
election last fall they only needed about six
ty-two votes to carry them. At this election
the city cast fifty-nine more votes for the
bonds than at that election. Delano also cast
six more. Allowing the vote in the country
precincts to stand as before, it gives u small
majority still. 1t is the opinion of some good
judges, however, that they are defeated,

From every portion of the Arkansas Valley
come assurances OF magnificent wheat crop
for 1877. For the past ten days wheat has
grown from one to two inches. Late broad
cast sown wheat that about the middle of
December seemed to have dried out and died
out, is found to be all right, while the deeply
drilled wheat presents 4 solid mat of green.
We confidently expect good times next year.
A big wheat crop, times easing up in the east,
factories resuming work, the Presidential
question settled, all followed by big immi-

and in every way unsuited to the adult mind.

point tqan would be proper in school his

salts iactorily met in "The Centennial His

evidently destined to take rank as the stand
ard history of our country. The author,
James ID. McCabe, is an able and well known
historical writer.
