the Star declines publishing except at

in the system. Every male resident Of
the county, above twenty-one years OF
age, is required to work upon the public
roads mot exceeding two days for each
year" Our calculation is. after making
liberal exceptions for Indulgence and mfr
nifty. that at least two thousand men will
be found liable to road service in the
county. Many, perhaps two-thirds, Of
this number. will relieve themselves of
this liability by money commutation.-
For two day services at seventy-five cents
per day, this would realize So, $50, leav-
ing still five hundred men to labor for two
days in each year upon the roads. If
proper men are selected as district road
supervisors, we have no doubt, under the
guards we have noticed above, that the
roads, even in the incipiency of the sys-
tenn, will be better kept than they have
ever been kept before and that something,
after paying all district road expenses,
will be realized to the fund for the per-
manent improvement of our roads. And
it is to permanent improvement of our
roads that we should chiefly direct our at
tention. Patching bad roads costs more
in the long run than making good ones.
This a sad experience has shown US. Ii
the people shall adopt the New Road Sys-
tenn in June and an efficient adninistra-
ton of it should be obtained for five years,
it will be found, we predict, at the expi-
ration of that time, that our thoroughfares
have been improved to a degree that it will
not require much beyond the annual ex-
penditure Of 81 900 to keep them in first
rate condition. % And all this can be done
without adding much, if anything, to the
present tax-burthens of our people. The
appreciation of property, moreover, con-
sequent upon the improved condition of
our roads, should not be overlooked. -
Proximity to church, mill, muster and
school house is not more desirable to the
citizen than good roads. They make To-
comotion pleasure instead of burthen,
shorten the distance between different
points Of travel, and decrease the risk of
injury to persons and property by the way.
They invite immigration. In short, they
bear evidence of the energy and public
spirit Of people. All are interested in
having good roads, the black as well as
the white, the poor as we'll as the rich,
the foot as well as the horse or carriage
traveller. We sincerely trust that the
voters Of the county may make up their
minds to give the New Road System a
trial. 1t is certainly better than nothing
and the present system is nothing-noth-
ing but costly folly"

Agricultural Bureau.

An attentive correspondent suggests
gests that "the appointment by the Mary
land Agricultural Bureau, of Mr.. F.
Vile, of Leonardtown, St. Mary's coun-
ty, to be Agent of Immigration for the
State, and to reside at Bremen, makes us
think that new class Of Agriculturists is
about to take possession of our lands, and
to entirely change our present system Of
farming. The climate, fertility and loomy
soil of the lower counties of Maryland, a.
dapt the lands to the German cultivation.
In order to meet the wants of our new po-
pulation several changes must be made.
Our present roads or bride paths, mus,
be made into wide avenues, free of gates
You cannot get enterprising men to live
in a country with the roads barred by
gates, or so narrow that wagons cannot
pass each other. Their favorite system Of
renting is to lease for term Of years,
from 10 to 100 acres at so much per acre.
Their houses must be neat, comfortable
cottages, with stable, small yards, &C..
built SO as to make village. We are
told they prefer to live SO, and work their
farms several miles off, than to live sepa.
rated. It must be admitted by all that a
change in our present system is absolute.
ly necessary. We think now, with a lit.
tie enterprise on our part, many settlers
can be induced to stop in Maryland, in.
stead of going West"

Further Impeachment Investigations.

Further Impeachment Investigations.
The following resolution, reported by
Mr.. Bingham on Saturday, in behalf of
the impeachment managers, and adopted
by the House by vote of yeas SO, nays
13, is what might be expected from poll
ticians disappointed as they have been,
and who are so little satisfied with the re-
suit of the trial that they appear to be
DESTROYS to try it again:
"Whereas, information has come to the
Managers which seems to them to furnish
probable cause to believe that improper or
corrupt influences have been used to influence
the determination of the Senate upon the ar
ticles of Impeachment exhibited to the Senate
by the House of Representatives against the
President of the United States, therefore,
"Resolred, That for the further and more
efficient prosecution of the impeachment OF
the President, the Managers be directed and
instructed to summon and examine witnesses
under cath tto-eend for persons and. papers
to employ stenographer, and to appoint
subcommittee to take testimony, the expen-
ses thereof to be paid from the contingent
fund of the House."

~A strange disease has appeared a.
mong the cattle in the vicinity Of Johns
town, Pa, and some farmers have sus-
tanned considerable losses BY it. 1t is
stated that the animals when taken with
the disease first become blind, then froth
at the mouth, and manifest symptoms of
a hydrophobial character, and although
some recover, large per centage of them
die. A remedy for the disease is said to
consist of pint Of strong cider into which
three large onions are put, first chopped
fine. The mixture then to be simmered
over fire for half an hour, after which
it is allowed to cool. and then poured
down the animals throat. The following
day teaspoonful of saltpetre, infused in
warm water is administered, when the
cure is said to be complete.

Death OF Edward w. Belt, Esq.

We copy the following melancholy an
nouncement from the Prince Georgian of
Friday last, the 18th inst:
edward w. Belt, Esq, departed this life
at his residence in this village, last night, af-
ter brief illness. In offering tribute of re-
spect in these columns to the deceased, we
must say that, in our whole experience of
journalism, we have never been called upon
to perform so sad duty.
"The eminent abilities our friend so fully
possessed, were acknowledged and felt in all

Gle, in the practice of his profession, and in
the halls of legislation. Eulogy of such a
mortal as this, is useless; his memory must
live in all time. when one generation will love
to honor its shining lights, and posterity will
kneel in reference at the shrine of fallen great
ness.
"The deep regret that pervadcs our COM
munity over the death of Mr.. Belt comes
deep from the heart, for ali knew his worth
in any capacity he might be placed in. His
private life, like his public, was unblemished
True to all the noble instincts that make man

age on earth bemoaned by ALL Generous,

tons of US all, and leaves a deathless example

''The blow that falls here, strikes cord
that will swell in happy commemoration Of
the many virtues of his private life. We look
with anguish upon thslepectacle, and, we be-
lieve, together with many another heart

it, as one of the inscrutable acts of Providence

From the Cambridge Democrat and Herald

called the Port Tobacco Iimes-admiring it

ed since then, many mile of ocean and land
have we traversed, many tear of care and
sorrow have we shed and wiped away, and
to-day, with our prattling children about our
knee and our better-half smilingly watching
their gambols, we pick up our old friend, the
Port Tobacco Times, greatly enlarged and i'm
proved May success attend its long-tried
