The Road LAW.

A bill concerning roads and highways
has passed the Ohio Legislature and be-
come a law of the State. For the satisfac-
ton Of many inquirers, we give the follow
ing summary of its provisions. for which
we are indebted to the Mac-G-cheek Press,
whose editor, Colonel Don Piatt, is a lead
ing member of the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives:
1t makes some very radical changes in
our road laws. The care aud supervision
Of our roads, instead of being longer en-
trusted to supervisors, are now transferred
TO the township trustees, All male resi-
dents between twenty-one and tifty-fiye
years of age are liable TO perform two days
work yearly, in repairing the roads.
Pensioners of the United States and dis
abled soldiers are exempted. The sum of
two dollars may be paid by any person la
BILE TO work, and received by the trustees
in lieu Of the wv days work.. The trus-
tees have power to contract with any per
son or persons to repair or make ANY roads
or parts of roads in their respective town
ships.
County commissioners in counties where
the taxable property exceeds sixty mill
ions, are authorized to levy a tax of not
less than one-twentieth, nor more than
fve-tenths of a mill In counties of thirty
millions of taxable property and less than
sixty millions, not less than one-tenth OF
more than one mill in counties Of less than
thirty millions or more than ten, not less
than twe-tenths nor more than two mills
in counties of less than ten millions and
more than five, not less than seyen-tenths
nor more than three mills; in counties Of
less than five millions, no less h seven
tenths, nor more than five mills. These
levies are to be made at the March session
Of the Board of Commissioners, except a
TO the year 1867, when the levies can b,
made at the June session. This law Is
matter Of interest and importance to al
parts of the State, and it is being printed
for distribution.

OLD FASHIONED CHILDREN.

from Ue London Spectator.
One Of the most puzzling OF all psy-
Geological problems Is the difficulty
that .'grown-up people" feel In under
standing children. They have all been
children, and one would think thew
would all retain some faintfecollec
OF the ideas of childhood sufficient to
make them fair, or tolerant, or kindly,
or'at the least intelligent, In dealing
with their babes. They do not, though.
We ask any truLh-speakiDg father OF a
u family, that IL, of more than one
child, who may happen TO read these
lineSs whether he ever finds his own
experience any help In understanding
his children under ten, whether he Is
not compelled 10 rely-on Observation
alone, whether there is not hiatus for
which he cannot account between his
own recollections and his true child
hOodH He can remember events, or
rather he can remember particular In
cidents, as far back as four years old,
or, in very rare aud exceptional cases,
three years old; but he cnnno! remem.

what his gOvernining ideas were, what
were his ruling aspirations. Beyond

membrance helps him to Judge his son
or to comprehend his daughter, but
before that time memory Is OF no use 10
him. He has to judge children, like
animals, by acute 0bservaIion-the rea.
son why there Is such Immense differ
ence In tho results Of observation upon
children. II is nearly impossible to
give the same Judgment either on
children In the abstract, or any partic.
ular description OF children, or any In
divtdual child, and quiet people have
not settled the grand proposition
whether children are bad or good,
given TO evil which requires repression,
or given TO good which demands devel
Opment. Ifthey remembered anything
c0nsecutively concerning their own
childhood, they would know, but they
do not remember, to state the truth us
far AS we know It, they do not remem.
