MARYsvILLE RoAD.-We are informed by
Mr.. Seely that portion Of this highway is
about to be considerably improved. 1t is in
contemplation to run a new road from Brady's
Ranch, which is some twelve miles from
Marysville, to point intersecting the old
road about three-fourths of mile below
the Empire Ranch. The new route, by fol-
lowing the course of ravines, can be made
on an easy grade, and will avoid the red hills
and much rocky ground. The cost of the
work will be about $4,000, which has been
chiefly subscribed, already, by teamsterS and
bridge owners.
This is-a very desirable improvement as
the portion of the road alluded to has been
the worst between North San Juan and Ma
rysville. With this new road and what will
be done on parts of the old one by the Over
seers, the entire highway will be made one
of the very best in the State, and teamsters
will be able to haul from ten to fifteen hun
dfed more at a load than ever before.

cession passed. The grafton of Mr.. Sargent,
at the pavilion, was listened to by about
thousand persons. 1t occupied in the deliv-
cry upwards of an hour, and is highly praised
by those who heard it. The orator gave quite

particularly upon its institution and progress
in the United States. In the evening splen-

erected on the vacant lot next to the Nation
