they cannot profit themselves, tho r0ada would be
worked at the PROPER season and In the proper
manner by the people OF the neighborhood. 1t
would b to the nterest'0f every individual to
see that bis neighbors did their proper share of
the labor, and SO far from It's being painful
drudgery, the labor on the highways would be-
come pleasant, social gathering of the neigh
bors, emulating one another in their Jealous eff
forts. A certain neighborhood pride to have the
roads OF one district better than another would
be awakened. In place of the privilege which
supervisors feel, and some bnd neighbors will
practice upon, Of making the highways nuisan-
ces, and suffering them TO become impassable, or
dangerous to the lives and limbs of travellers, the
highways would be made neat smooth and con-
venient the labor would be done at those sea-
sons ot the year when II would be available, in-
stead Of ut times when Il Is worse than useless -
Every man would feel II n duty to call the atten-
ton OF the authorities and grand juries TO me-
glect Of duty in supervisors, instead of the idea,
which now prevails In some sections that none
but sury, cross, bad citizens will complain ot
a supervisors neglect. In other words, new
and wholesome sentiment would be developed,
and, the roads Of the country made ft for civil
ized beings to travel upon. To enumerate all the
disadvantages of our present system, and the vast
advantages OF one such rs indicated, would re-
quire too much space. They are obvious to ev-
cry. rejecting mind. The experience in other
States where the plan we suggest is acted upon,
ought to commend IL TO the favorable notice Of
the Legislature. We hope with our correspon-
dent that the Legislature, at the present session
short as Il is, will devise some measure for the
improvement of the roads of the State, than
which scarcely any matter of legislation is more
important to the public.
The above was written before the Adjournment
of the Legislature, but the facts and arguments
are just as important now as then. Eds.

FORMER ARMIES OF THE UNITED ST6TRs.-The
largest army ever assembled at any one time
during the revolution, was that commanded
by General Putnam, on Long Island. That mum
bered seventeen thousand men of all arms
The next1argest was that with which Washing.
ton captured CORVALLIS at Yorktown, when he
had sixteen thousand. Our largest army as
sembled in 1912 was commanded by Jackson at
New Orleans, and counted but ak thousand
Coming down to the Mexican war, Taylor won
his victories with q force never exceeding five
thousand, and SCOTS largest force was not be-

DR.. b. Brown WILLIAMs.-This gentleman, ac-
cording to announcement, lectured in the Tow
sontown Odd Fellows Hall, on Friday and Sat-
urday nights of last week lie processes to give
an explanation of the action of Electricity on the
mind and body of man, with a theory of curing
chronic diseases by the power of that subtle agent.

obtained over the mind of another, while under
the influence of the electrical fluid, he causes sew
eral persons TO come forward on the stage TO be
experimental upon. On Friday night, one young
man, apparently, acted completely under the will
of the Dr. He was made to believe he had avn
client pain in his knee and shoulder that he had
fees thrown over him; that when he drank wa
ter it was whiskey, and got completely intoxica-
ted bylit, &c. On Saturday night, he tried the
same and similar experiments on another young
man, making him forget his name, causing him
to think he was driving sleigh, nursing child,
counting a lady, and many other things. The
majority of those present were confident that the
power was real, while others doubted
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights he again
lectured, and on each occasion different you NC
man was operated upon, or brought under the
" electrical influence" Some of the actions were
laughable, while others were conducive of diff
ferent feeling. Tie question in the minds of all
was !" can these things be-" -
On each nighta number of presents were dis
trbuted among the audience, all of which were
of value, more or less, ranging from an ice pitch

He lectures again on Friday night to all who
may see proper to ATTEND, and on Saturday night
to men alone. AS he has an Office in Baltimore
for the treatment of diseases, be. is no doubt ma
king good thing of it. - q9s

still urging their schemes Of restoration, their
amendments TO the Constitution. Mr., Cowan, of
Pennsylvania, o few days ago, said that there
were already seuesaty amendments TO that instru-

communication, used these words, which win be
remembered while the language exists: With
malice toward none, with charity for all, with

in, to bind up the nations wounds TO care for

President Johnson is endeavoring 10 carry out
the wishes of his predecessor, and his own en-
-
lightened ideas of justice and right. The aboli-
ton of slavery has been conceded in all the States
lately in rebellion, and in most of these States
the status Of the freedmen has been changed to
suit the new condition Of things. But the ma
jority is still urging measures little calculated to

The.loyal citizens of Maryland and their rep
resentatives cannoti in all thingsendorse the acts
of these Republican leaders. They will place
themselves on the broad and secure platform Of
Right, and if it becomes necessary for our menu
bers to vote against the radicals in their extreme
measures, we trust they will besustained by their
