REPAIR THE ROADS.

Everybody's business is quite apt to become
nobody's business. Travellers through almost
every section of the country find this. often to
their cost, in the state of the roads. Jaded
horses, mud despatched clothing, broken vehi-
Giles, and limbs weary and sore from incessant
jolts are the almost certain attendants of any
extended journey by private conveyance. But
the inconvenience of bad roads to the occa-
sional traveller is tritiing compared with the
loss and annoyance suffered by residents of the
neighborhoOd. The discouraged traveller may
take the rail car, or the steamboat, but there is
no escape for those living in the locality Ev-
cry visit to neighb0r, every trip to mill or
to meeting, involves a loss of time comfort and
patience, together with much useless wear and
tear of running gear. Very soon the Autumn
rains, and the alternate free1ings and thawngs
will render roads already out of repair, almost
impossible. Do not neglect bad spots adoin-
ing your premises because your road tax is
already worked out, and the supervisor is re-
miss. A days work on the road will often save
costly job at the wagon makers. Examine
all bridges and sluices. See that there are no
distractions to water courses that will cause
dangerous icy slides the coming winter. Take
advantage Of every opportunity to turn the rich
wash of the road upon your own premises, and
so arrange channels that it may be distributed
widely and not form an unsightly embankment
near the fence where it cmpties into the field.
Let everybody see that his business in this re-
spect is attended to, and then nobody's will be
neglected.-Americda -igrculimisi,
Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-11-05

ahabbier-liying men, chaiIcring over thcir
wares, cxalling or depreciating their merits,
disputing about the texture of n stuff, accosting
likely customers, pnshing, bustling, laughing
and joking. The buyers and the sellers group,
and swarm and cluster around throngs of dark,
mildewy-looking men, most of them with their
professional black bags over their shoulders.
Nor outside the mart, is the activity and bus
tie less great there vendors and purchasers
are seen going in groups to cement their bar
gains in the low-browed, dark public-houses;
the narrow street is choked up by the carts
and barrows of sellers of vegetables and fish;
slatternly women scream and scold over Shiny
piles Of founders, and soft sodden Jumps of
salmon; the cheap coOk-shops are crowded by
amateurs of simmering, three-days-stcwed
meat, and pies of unknown materials bare
footed urchins drive hard bargains with apple
women and baked-potato men, orperhaps over
the trays of whelks and periwinkles deposited
upon hampers at every corner Alternating
with these cheap proyision-shops and stands
are magazines OF old iron, brokers' establish
ments, and grimey coal and potato sheds
while, crowding backwards and forwards, chat
tering and hallooing, there swarms hither and
thilher the coarse, dirty, Jewish population,
only broken here and there by the blue uni
form of the policeman, who stands with all his
eyes about him at the corner, or by the stately
form and the long flowing robes of the rabbi,
as he slowly picks his way amid his flock to
the neighboring synagogue
Altogether, the scene is a strange, but not
pleasing one. Dirt is the prevailing feature
dirt in the street. dirt in the houses, dirt in the
men and women. Pity it is that of all their
Oriental customs, cleanliness should be almost
the only one which the Jews have entirely
forgotten. Yet they look content and happy
in their ioulness rejecting, no doubt, that as
good bargain can be made in tainted air as
in the wholesomest breeze. That important
point settled, the Jews, although they may
make an article of merchandise of soap appear
to consider il as a commodity with which they
have no other necessary connection.

BUTTER.

Our market continues quiet, and prices gen.
orally unchanged, and this in the face of mod
crate receipts and ut time when we usually
have a healthy demand. The opinion has pre-
vailed among dealers here, generally, and is
shared in by ourselves, that the make Of Butter,
this season, was unusually large, estimated at
from one-third to one-fiith larger than last sea-
son, and that in the absence of the usual Cali
fornia demand prices must range low. The
underestimate of the make last year. occa-
stoned general and severe loss and acting on
the above belief and estimates dealers buy
only for immediate use, and sales on specula-
ton are out of the question Wehaye received
letters from various parts of the country, in re-
gard TO Butter, which we have every reason to
believe truthful and these all indicate the make
TO be light and that the views entertained here
of a large crop, are erroneous. We give below
extracts from q letter of an intelligent party in
st. Lawrence County, in the hope that it may
stimulate further inquiry as to the actual truth
of matters, and thereby impart some vitality to
our market. Letters from Ohio and various
parts of this State bring like adyices.
ST. Lawrence County, n. Y, Oct. It'll.
GENTLEMEN: noticed some
time in the Times your estimate that the Butter
crop would he oae-fourth larger this year than
last. The estimate will certainly to Northern
New York. Our season here on the whole has
been very unfavorable, as the early part was
dry and the feed short, and after our Septem-
Der rains commenced we had a very severe
frost, which injured feed very much, and with
very little feed now on the ground, the balance
of the Fall make must certainly he very light,
and in Jefferson County the same state of affairs
exists, and East of us there is no section where
the yield is any better; in Vermont, generally,
it is not as good. AT this time nearly all the
large diaries are sold, the Summer Butter is all
gone, and two-thirds the Fall Butter contracted
for at zoe, and there is not in st. Lawrence
County to-day half the Butter there was at this
time last year, &c, &c.

PROTECTION OF SHEEP

Mr.. Ecas:-I observed in the Record, dated
the first of October, an article speaking of the
destruction of Sheep by dogs in Chester county.
will give the farmers true plan, and never
failing remedy, to protect their sheep from
dogs in Chester county and other adjoining
counties, also the States around. Bells on
sheep or on dogs, or Il petition to the next Leg
stature to pass law to transfer the bell to the
dogs, will not protect sheep from dogs. Ny
plan is, for farmers or sheep raisers, to get
two young buck goats atterthey are done suck
ling, put Il middle-sizcd open sleigh bell on
them, so the sheep will know where the goats
are of a dark night; raise them with your sheep
so that they may become attached to them,
then you will not he troubled with dogs amongst
your sheep. They will keep gapes from chick
ens,-alsO diseases from horses and cattle
They are better amongst these than so much
medicine. This is Il perfect fact, for ! have
known this to betried. ! write these few lines
to the farmers as q friend, if they are worthy
of place IN the Record if not there will be no
harm done ! reckon. am lover of fine hor-
SEES, cattle and good mutton. From FRlENp.
