To those of extraordinary intellect and en-
ergy belongs the privilege of originating en-
terprises for the public good, but to the hum
bier sort minus the powers of thorough appre-
cation) belongs the right of criticism, and. ia
consideration Of our classification in the latter
list, we presume to crticise the action of the
committee appointed to urge the subscription
for the road leading from this point to Now
mans Furnace.
1t is unnecessary to say single word of the
necessity (not The advantages) of such road.
The people along the whole line are thoroughly
| awake to a sense of their isolated condition.
and the only obstacle which the committee had
to contend with was, that selfshness 80 char
acteristic of all Joint Stock Companies, or
where many are to be benefited by mutual
enterprises. To say the least of it. the snso-
rers" have stopped far short of their duty, and
offer no excuse to justify their inactivity. II
we are to harmonic all the conflicting inter
| ests along the line by running back and forth
across Stony Creek, then the effort is of no
| avail, but, rs there are only two or three dis
| senting parties at the upper end of the line,
let us pursue the proper course by appealing
to the County Court to lay out the road and
assess the damages, and in calculating the
latter, bear in mind the enhanced value of the
lands lying along the road and deduct small
per cent. of this accruing profit from the real
value of the land condemned, and the light
expenses thus increased will enable US to CON-
plete it without any material assistance from
| the Court.
Let us have the road, and if the other effort
| is a total failure, let us call another meeting of
our citizens, and try again. Let US have no
more child's play no more pandering to the
whims of individuals, but consult the interests
| and view the necessities Of the whole commu-
| nifty, and act as becomes men. ANY evidence
| of this debasing SELLS hness should only serve
| to urge us TO a performance of our whole duty,
and not stop until we have road from Lurav
| to the West Virginia line. Let US have anoth-
er meeting. ~

For some time past We have had the idea of

facts, to aid their conception OF the manifold
and harrassing duties of the Editor of q coun-

None, save those who have been connected

of the various cares Of him who s'drives the

to cater to, in serving up his weekly repast.
We have, lying on our table before us, pre-
served for the purpose We have in view, doz
en- or more letters and notes, of different dates,
and various localities, asking and insisting
upon our publishing paper. in accordance
with the peculiar views of each and every one
of the writer's. Now, there is not the shadow
Of doubt that our correspondents have the

Mr.. Editor: Allow me to ackno wledge, thro'
your columns, the receipt of valuable dona
nations from members of Lebanon Church, in
this county. Some of the members of this
church feel that the small salary their pastor
receives is not sufficient to make him comfort
able, hence they have very wisely determined
to make up the deficiency, in part, by annual
donations, which they do on this wise: Each
family loads two horse wagon (about butch
ering time) with corn, -four, pork, potatoes, ap-
Piles, &c-articles always plenty about farm
house, and articles, too which the kind donors
do not miss, but which, in the aggregate,
count largely in a minister's house.
This they bring themselves, and spend a
time in friendly conversation, feeling doubt
less that it is shelter to give, than to receive"
oh, how gratifying are such visits to the pas
tor and his family, and how much they endcar
a people to their pastor, and how they encour-
age him to labonr for their good. May their
example be initiated by all christians, and
thus contribute TO make the relation between
pastor and people pleasant, @wsA y : pro-

Mr.. Editor:-Your correspondent .'Fas," the

not be harshly treated by any che through the
same source. /, for one, should not like to
have his feelings wounded by any means. We
see, in late number of the HERALD, where he
refers to very long catalogue of ''kisses,"
favored by one possessing the dignifed title
of wife, which is "endorsed and n,arifed" We
will add some other good authority on the sub
ject. Byron says the length is the only way
to determine kiss. For example

good recipe to do up turkey for the occasion,
copied from a correspondence of the Western
Qurat:
"To Cook A TURKEY. After dressing and
stuffing the turkey, put in boiler water to
cover the bottom, and basin to put the tur-
key on; lay it on the hack, not letting the
water reach it; cover the boiler and steam two
hours roast one hour; boil liver, gizzard and
heart in this water, then chop fine and put in
the gravy; pour the water from the boiler in
the roast pan to haste the turkey with. The
toughest old customer cannot but be tender
if cooked in this way" L.
