PLANK RoADs.--Among the many i'm

road, is OF great interest. and should b..
well circulated throughout the country.
ltspPears ihatthe first plank road in Can,
ada was laid down in 1886, and IN New
York in 1887, but it is only within the
Last lonr years that they have been much
prosecuted. There now exist as follows.
PLANK ROADS IN OPERATION.
70 Roads Aaes. AV'g cost per mile TotaL
New York 9,lO6 $.,03j s386O.29a
Very nearly four millions of dollars
have been expended in New York upon
these roads aud the resulting advantages
are immense. The roads have been all
subscribed for by individuals, and all pay
handsome dividends For instance the
Troy and Lansinburgh road pays 10
per cent. semi annually; The Utica aud
Du' u'"HSt"H ~ per cent, dnu we DeHcVe
none in operation pay less than 10 per
cent, aud none of the stocks are in mar

The Importance IF plank roads in farm
ing regions becomes self evident when il
is stated that On The Salina road two.
horse team drew sac tons of iron twelve
miles. without unusual strain. Four and
a half tons is an ordinary load. aud a
team will travel with it eight hours per
day, four miles an hour dag after day -
Afarmer, in heavy country, stated that
the tolls paid saved themselves in the la
Dor of cleaning hOrSes. In all localities
where these roads are in operation, land
rises greatly in value. On the Salina
rnad, farm land rose from 50 to SIS per
acre; on the Syracuse road the increase
was $40 per acre. 1t will be obse rived
that an amount of property equal To S4,
OO0,O 900, bearing high rate of interest,
has been created. and that property has
added il addition several millions To the
value of the land through which it runs,
and that ali this property is mere saving
from the old cost Of transportation. As

is but little known out ol their localities,

will be sustained aud the mobtes fuiied
in their attempts.
Several incidents are connected with
this transaction. An alarm of fire was
raised and watchman engaged in ring.

Webster, the latter thinking the alarm a
mere ruse upon the part of the Abol
tionists. He was committed aud finally
held to bail to answer for an assault upon
a watchman.
Mr.. Sewall, lawyer of the city, in
sisted upon entering the room where the
fugitive was confined and threatened the
deputy marsha in case of refusal. The
latter called for waichman and Mr.. Sc

for some time, but was finally paciRed aud
