The Geneva Road.

Lie U616Yd AOau,
A few weeks ago a subscription was solicit
ed in country and town to improve the Gene.
Va road through the low grounds southwest
of this city. Usually, in the fall and spring,
this part of the Geneva road has been nearly
impossible. One day this week was agree
ably surprised, in going into the country, to
find this part Of the highway high, and dry
and smooth, and the most easily travelled 81
any part of my journey. Laborers were still
at work under the Superintendent of Sidney
Derbyshire, but whether they will be able to
complete the improvement before winter
brings their labors to a close, remains for
time to determine.
Commencing at the western limits of the
low land little east of Durkee's corners, the
road has been turnpiked and graveled nearly
to the Rowland road. So also has the low
ground a little west of Dnrkee's corners been
turnpiked and graveled. 1 am informed by Mr..
Derbysbire, that when the improvement is
completed, the expenditure will amount to
81 900 or more, and that there is already $500
subscribed, and is now being paid. There Isl
however, an opportunity for those who have
not yet subscribed, TO do so, and become par
Elephants in q much needed Improvement

barrel. The spring, as now improved with its
gushing flow of water, seems to be about all
thai could be desired. And yetsa country
farmer suggests that it would have beeu bet
er to have put in a hogshead, as that would
lave held larger quantity of water. The
spring however, is a noble one as it is, and the
road is also good. There ia no bad road now
near Kenosha-none worse than other roads,
but some much better--to prevent the people
of the country from coming into the city. And
it is TO be hoped it viii be for the best in ter
eas of the people or both city and country to
cultivate more intimate acquaintance and
reciprocal good feelings.
