To Be Rebuilt.
Proposals have been advertised for by the Bridge Committee of the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders for the construction of a bridge across Cooper's creek, on State street. The present bridge has been condemned, and a new one is necessary for the safety of travel.
The Military Prize.
Major Joseph C. Lee, with a guard of honor, received on Thursday afternoon the trophy awarded to the New Jersey Battalion at the Yorktown Centennial anniversary, and it will be in custody at the headquarters of Company C, Sixth Regiment, N. G., Camden, on the 7th instant.
Paving Material.
The work of paving Federal street with Belgian blocks has been delayed for several days, because the contractor, Thomas A. Wilson, has been unable to procure material. Only half a square remains to be finished, but the stone has now arrived, and work will be resumed at once.
