Extensive Road improvements

Fayette Co. takes the lead amonl
the counties of Ohio in its efforts t,
improve its roads. The earth Is 0
such a quality that during the lat
fall, winter, and spring, the road
are almost impossible. The coun
try is generally level, and the sol
is very rich, producing corn II
great abnndance The farmers haC
got tired Of wading through black
mud, The people Of Washington
the county seat, had wearicd Of the
long months Of blockade when no
body could get into town. After 2
little examination and reflection the
people became convinced that all
parties would be greatly benefited
by the establishment of graveled
roads. Their leading men toOkhold
of 1t in earnest, and devised a sys-
tenn that should bring all parts of
the county in communication with
the county seat, by a series ofgrav-
eled roads that could be used at all
seasons OF the year.
We have by the kindness of our
young friend, Henry Hamilton,
clerk in the Fayette Co. Auditors Of
fee, a copy of the report Of the
Commissioners Of that Co, wherein
we find the following statements.
Eighteen roads have been ordered
to be improved during the last two
years. OF these SO miles have been
completed at a cost Of $lS4,9l9,
Al miles are partially completed, at
a cost of $145, ,476 and there are "A
miles ordered to be improved, and
have been contracted for at an ag-
gregate cost Of S108,447. adding
the Greenfield road, they make a
grand total of 1853 miles at a cost
of $444,64l. These roads are to
be completed during the current
year.
To pay for these fine works, Co.
bonds have been issued already to
the amount of $255,7l8 These
are large expenditures for a Co., so
comparatively small as Fayette,
But they are based on the highest
financial policy. The farmers are
generally rich, or well TO do, and
their farms are very productive.
The great draw back has been the
difficulty getting about the coun-
try during several months of the
year With good roads, and means
of easy access to the Co. Seat at all
times Of the year their farms will
be nearly doubled in cash value,
and their comfort and convenience,
will be increased beyond computa-
tion.
When there are beds Of good
gravel accessible this policy is wise,
and we are glad to see that one
county is setting the example Oft en-
li'ghtened selhshness in the building
sui stantial roads, Under what
was called the Plumber law, the
Counties Of Hamilton, Bdtler,
Montgomery, Greene, Warren, and
Clark, built these roads extensively
some years since, and h9ve been
greatly benefited by them, Fay

ing has the following:
BONE EXCITEMENT was created at Fish
Town yesterday evening By an assault made
there by two young men, laborlng under the
influence of liquor, upon one OF the tlsh
packers. No damage, however, was sus
tanned by any of those engaged, except the
loss OF the amount OF the fine imposed by the
Mayor on one Of the parties who had created
the disturbance.
Mr. LALLY had at his stand In the market,
this morning, green peas, which were selling
at $3.50 per peck. They were very well
Allied for so early In the season. VIM. lIol-
llnger had at his stall ripe tomatoes, Of good
quality and flavor. These arc the first of
these vegetables that We have seen. Some
punches Of good asparagus were also for sale
In market.
THERE was a considerable increase In the
receipts Of fish at Fishtown this morning,
accompanied with falling of in the country
demand. About seven hundred thousand
herring and eight thousand shad arrived,
and sold at from IS TO 80 per thousand for
the former aud at from sl3 to sl5 per hun
drcd for the latter. One vessel from Chap
mans Point brought up scycnty-ilyc thou.
sand herring.
