Mr.. Wood, the contractor, has a small
force of hands on the road, north of
town. He wants to get more hands at
the rate Of 81 per day for man and
team, and two dollars per day for man

or five shovelers with them. It has
been reported that there are men about
town, who suggest to those wishing to
hire, that they may never get their pay.
Such suggestion is entirely without
foundation, and would not be advanced
by any save those who from desire to
mOnopolize some certain business, or
from some other selfish motive, do not
wish to see road built, and who dare
not oppose the road openly lest their
motives be discovered. ~.
The most able and best business men
Of the town and the wealthiest farmers
of the surrounding country, have pledg-
ed themselves for the payment Of the
money that is to grade the road. Ifany
stakeholder discourage laborers by In
ducing the belief that the Company is
irresponsible, it would be q good plan
for the officers of the Company to drop
line by the hands of an officer request
ing ssscls stoekholder to pay up hfs ar
rears. This would demonstrate the
vitality Of the Company and furnish
money for the laborers, for the Compa-
ny directly employs the hands to do the
work on the old grade now in progress,
and the contractor only acts as their
agent. The new work is to be done by
him at a certain price per yard.
At meeting of the newly elected
Board Of Directors the following officers

BEAUTIES OF MEXICAN LIFE.-The disorgansed SO.
cal condition in the neighborhood Of the Rio Grande
is well illustrated by the following conversation in
coffee house, at Brownsville, the other day:
"a gay looking Mexican pleasantly addresses a
Frenchman, who understood the language saying:
Excuse me my friend, but it seems to me we've met
somewhere ! can't remember ever having met you
anywhere, replied the other That's strange said the
Mexican; was sure had met you; but now are YOU
right sure that you never met me alywhere? The
Frenchman taking good look at him, said, am GER
tain never met you before in my life We'll then
1 am mistaken in the man. that's all, and beg your
pardon. VIII you take drink my friend?5 The
Frenchman accepted, and they drank and separated.
The cream of this interview consisted in the fact that
the two had met, and that the Frenchman knew tic
Mexican the moment be saw him. The Mexican was
one Of gang Of robbers who recently piIlaged the
fteamer Montezuma. The Frenchman was on board
Mt the time and was this very robber who had stripped
him of his watch and boots aud clothes. even. to
his last shirt The Frenchman declined recognising
him or having him arrested because if he did So he
felt sure Of being spotted and murdered by others cf
the gang Sweet state Of society isn't it?'
