what Can The Matter Rea

We have no recollection OF ever hearing
half 50 much complaint, at this time of the
year, about bad roads, rs meets us at every
turn now. We have been but little over the
roads, and cannot. therefore, speak from per
sonal knowledge; but almost every person
whom we meet has something to say about
athe terrible condition ofthe roads," Weare
told that the roads between here and Church
vile, and between here and Abingdon, are
almost impossible, and that these are no
worse than many other Of the most public
throughfares in the county. Can this be the
fault Of the supervisor. or is it the fault Of
the, system, OF. partly the fault of both ? At
this season of the year the roads ought not
to be in q very bad condition, particularly
as We have had such an open and fine fall
May this state Of things not be attributable,
in great measure, to allowing water to re-
main in the roads after every rain? 1t an,
pears to us that if the roads were kept higher
In the centre, this would not be the case but
while no attention Is paid to this rule, we
must expect bad roads. We do not know
who the supervisor is, on single road inthe
county, nor 10 we know whether they mend
the roads judiciously, but take it for granted
that they do. We have, however, seen road
mending in our time that did them much
more harm than good. 1t is common pras-
tice. with some supervisors, to pillow furrow
ON each side Of the road, particularly at level
and fiat po;pfo ord sra,,a-ull,, A.. &1,..... an.
furrow to the road. Now this very practice,
as q general thing, does the road much more
harm than good, and will do harm in almost
every instance, unless the middle of the road
is thrown up at the same time; because the
centre of the road being often the lowest
point the furrow serves no other purpose
than to copfne the water to the middle fthe
road, particularly where the furrow is thrown
to the road, as is generally the case If the
road is kept full in the centre, It is a matter
Of very little consequence whether the pillow
Is run along its side or not A suflcientgut-
ter is formed by raising the centre of the road,
a. . general rale, except when the bed Of the
road may be below the surface of the lands
adjoining; and even then, raising the centre
Of the road win afford ample opportunity for
the waterto escape. y
Our attention has been so frequently oflate
called to this subject, that we, ss public jour,
nalists, have felt it our duty to call the attcn.
ton of the authorities to tho subject. There
is nothing which so much enhances the value
Of the property in county or neighborhood,
as coed roads; and nothing SO completely
destroys the prosperity of either. as bad roads.
Nothing strikes q stranger so forcibly as good
roads, and nothing inclines him to leave
neighborhood SO soon as bad roads. 1si'

Not long since, CORTLAND street had not
even name, and now it can boast of the
finest row Of buildings in the town, or at least
as fine as any other street. About three years
ago, our enterprising neighbors, Henry W.
Archer and Herman Stump, Esqs., purchased
Of the Misses Robinson the square running
from Main street through to Bond, and at
once commenced the, erection Of fine brick
building, sufficient for four large anil well
arranged Offices. 500 3hb1 gl.Hrl
The enterprise Of these gentlemen was
soon initiated by our not less enterprising
friend, A. j. Prigg, Esq, who tore away
much ofthe old Robinson building, re-arrang-
cd the entire inside of the house, and built an
addition back, together with q fine double
porch in front, and indeed made almost an
an entire new building of the old one, with
all the modern hotel arrangements. ~,

Ferry, was not idle, and two lots below the
building of Msssrs. Archer and Stump, cree.

since been turned into fine offices, To this
