The black" bridge near this
village, which was swept away with
the floods, is being rebuilt with some
alterations, there being in the pres
ent bridge three abutments instead
of two as before, the east two abut-
ments occupying the same place that
the former abutments did, the third
one being placed about thirty-five
feet west of the middle one, thereby
giving room for twice the volume of
water to pass than was given i'll the
old bridge. A Mr. Rowland has
taken the contract to rebuild the
bridge for $3.50.

The report that the Hon. Geo. c.
Hazelton was in our midst on Sat
urday last is confirmed by the hotel
register, affixing to his honorable
mention a receipt in full for one
breakfast. We are not much upon
medicine, yet we presume his pre-
scription, forty miles before break
fast is probably the best remedy he
could use for waning political APP
petite under the circumstances. The
Democrat was unable to ascertain
from a personal examination the
extent of the malady, as we were
informed that he had got his mail
and gone home before we could
take in the situation. Rumor has it
that on his way back to Boscobel he
showed y at Waldwick and Moscow
to unsatisfactory audiences, which
demonstrates that a circus won't
pay in these towns any way you
can fix it.

The Democratic journals in this
congressional district seem to bother
themselves because, as they say, the
contest for the republican nomina-
ton has narrowed down to Hazclton
and Reyes. Why not attend TO
to their own camp-mceting, 'lstead
Of dcvoting SO much space to mat
tcrs which are go disgusting to them
rs they claim? Simply because they
have no candidate and the nominal
ton in their party has narrowed
down to nothing, and like parties
who have no business of their own
must continually interfere with the
affairs Of crs.-TribunC.
If the editor of The Tribune dare
call his soul his own, he too would
be bothcring himself because
the contest for the republican nomi
nation had narrowed down to Hazel
ton and Kcyes.@ For, to Judge from
opinions expressed when he. dareC
to say what he meant, in his opin
/ ion the devil himself is several de
gross better than either one o
/ them.

The republican party can no lon
ser lay claim to being the temperance
party of the country. The national
prohibition party at its meeting in
Chicago last week declared that those
who are not for it are against it, and
cast out Of its ranks all who are
not willing to give up all other
parties for its sake. 1t has found
the republican party neither hot nor
cold on the temperance question,
and has spcwcd out Of its mouth.

The Chicago Inter Ocean adyoca-
ties lynch law for those wretches who
commit outrages upon women and
children. In some Of the states
such criminals are punishable with
death. We think little of this sort
of justice could be advantageously
introduced into the statutes of Wis
consin, and many other states; and
there would be no reason for the
public press to shock law-abiding
citizens by advocating lynch law.
