OF fhe thousands of tracts and lots Of
land advertised in our paper to be sold for
taxes, at least three-folrths are held by
nonresident property spectators; the re-
naming fourth may be held by INDECENT or
thriftless resident owners who seldom pay
debts Of any kind, In some cases the adj
ministrators Of estates and guardians of
heirs neglect TO pay the taxes on property
entrusted to them. But of the great bulk
Of delinquent property, it was originally
bought on speculation, and awaits the day
for sale to residents when, BY the industry
Of such residents, the country shall arrive
at stage Of prosperity and high prices.
The spectators have no other interest in
the country and are agerse to every inter-
est, even to the building of school houses,
bridges and roads at the expense Of tax
on their property; during the depressed
market of land property their disappoint-
ments beget in them aversion to the west
ern country. aversion to the west in every
thing. This aversion, like the freaks of
giddy lovers, will change into crazy adj
miration of the west whenever property re-
sumes its former high value--a result that
must soon follow the present and prospect
i've prosperity Of everybody in the land.
But, are these nonresident spectators a
benefit to anybody in the west, and is their
admiration at any time a help to us? We
think not. They need but to desert at the
hour of t.ial; their faith is but a morning
dew, for they are attached to no person or
place or thing only SO long as such person,
place or thing yields them an income.
It must be plain to every one that any
increase Of value on lands held by specula-
tors, arises entirely from the labor Of resi-
dents done upon adjoining or near lands,
Were the lands surrounding the property
of spectators to remain unimproved, then
spectators lands could not increase in val
ue; every stroke Of iahor done upon farrls
adjoining spectators lands increases the
value of the latter almost as much as of the
former; every road and bridge, school
house and tenement in the vicinity ofspec-
ulators' lands, adds all equal value to the
SPECTATORS property and the residents
property. These conclusions are drawn
from what is seen on every hand through
the country; to further reason upon prop
ositions so simple, would be like offering
proof of the correctness of the simplest rules
in arithmetic.
Many of these spectators lands will
doubtless be forfeited to the county for
taxes, and in time the county be made
thereby immensely rich in land property.
st piesent, the county may own $4,000
worth of these forfeited tax lands, ard tie
forfeitures are annually increasing of late
years. Under the court decisions of late
county deeds for such lands amount to
warranty title when the purchaser improves
the land.

RoADs.-The condition of roads has
been such for some time that overseers can
judge BY observation as to the best way to
work them coming May and June. 1t is
observed that the best way to make good
road through miry lane, is to throw up
the ground from both sides, thus raising
the road and ditchiug the sides. Several
bad places in roads have to our knowledge
been reclaimed in this way and are spoken
Of as being good this spring. 0yerseers Of
roads should see to these lad places, as
they are called, and make them permanent
II good in the way we have suggested, IN
less indeed some other way is found better.
