From the Prairie Chicago Farmer,
Plank Road

Tho LILLE time during which these roads hays
been in use among US has enabled Us to see how
they should be constructed, and to avoid certain
errors auually fallen into with those at first laid
down, The first criticism regards.
MNLE!IL Our first roads was made Of pine
plank but Oh a road which is to DO travelled it is
of little use to construct pine road since the
planks will wear through in very short time.
4 single season will destroy, on a road like those
leading into this city, many, Of the planks. II d
road is not very much travelled the timber will
rot out in little time. liemlock is better in both
respects but is not plenty in this region. Ourm
terial is oak, which is the most abundant of any
timber produced among us Black walnut in
some districts is plenty ecough and is rs durable
as oak
Construction. All plank roads should be de-
livered fwater The great error Of some of the
planking in this city, particularly on Lake and
Randolph streets. is that the planks are so laid
tha, the water is suffered to colec, in the cracks
between the plank. Conseq quen,ly the plank
does not lie fr.. .or the Crossing by ssearn MOVES
it and sets The water in motion which washes q
small creyice beneath il. and this is gradually en-.
larged I'LL there are larg vacant spaces under the
pnnking. The evils Of this are threefold. Being
unsupported the plank rolls slightly, and wears
off at the edges; 1t also spring, or bends, and 10
thereby weakened, and further, the presence Of
the air beneath ro,s It, so that it is attac,ed on
both sides at once. Such planking will not last
one third "a long rs i, should do. If it can be
perfectly solid and dry, /, is soon bedded in the
earth, by which the atmosphere is entirely exclu.
ded from beneath, and the only wear is above,
by the passage Of teams. This in such eases
will be very small indeed. The pianking first
put down in this city in the summer Of ls44.
!, now apparently a. good q, when first laid,
though there were errors committed in the work.
The use of large s,rineers beneath is also an
error. The plsrks ought to rest on the ground
for their support. Strngers nrc only used in kee-
ping the plank from turning which, especially at
first. they are liable to do while the earth beneath
them is soft. There should be no impediment to
the compact and snug breeding do'en Of the whole
supers,ruc,ure ofthe road.

Irish Emigratjon,

iner years, misersby thin anu the once finest
peasantry III the wotld' have all bnt vanished.
During the last week 1000 emgrants left Thurles

the railroad station that additional carriages had
