Our horsemen will need no prompting
from us, but will only be too glad to show tile
mettle of their stecds on the beautiful track
now being made.
We visited the new grounds lately and
found them already enclosed with substan-
tial eight foot board fence. The area ell
closed is nearly eighty acres, and the driving
track one mile in length. All the necessary
buildings will be at once ernctGd in the best

These grounds have been purchased at a
cost of something over twenty-five thousand
dollars, furnished by the State, and for the
improvements the Society has twenty-five

thirty thousand from private subscription,
with prospect of ten thousand more before

MEssRs. EDITORS Il suppose you have
heard of the town of Mill Green, in your
county. Like many other isolated spots
on the globe, it labors under many disad-
vantages-no railroad communication or
navigable streams, by which her people can
receive or transport merchandise or the
products of her soil. Located on Deer
Creek, surrounded bya somewhat noun
famous country the land is generally pro-
ductive the hospitality extended to those
who travel through that section, by the
citizens, can no doubt be compared with
that of the people Of any section of the
county.
In passing through that town. or short
distance beyond, in the direction Of the
Pennsylvania line, my attention was at
tracted to what presumed to be an in

one Of those mountain hills, in the direc-
ton of its top. was induced to inquire
of one of the citizens the name and purpose
to be made of the plane. why" said he,

supposed cost of the road and was in

been expended by the county for its con-

about being made TO the Commissioners of
the county to furnish a permanent engine

The public road system in tour county is
.one calculated to spend a large amount Of
funds and produce very little real benefit to
the roads. In the first instance the small
amount levied is nothing like adequate to
the proper completion of the roads, and
the amount expended in many instances is
thrown away, for the reason that your su-
pervisois go on the al, expend their
allowance, and for want of a sufficient
amount, leave the roads in a condition
worse than they found them. A few fur
rows plowed on each side of the road, and
the dirt not removed, compelling-the water
to seek its channel in the centre ofthe roads.

as it is calculated to break every vehicle
which passes over it. This comprises the
principal portion of the work done on the
roads. About nineteen 10 twenty-five
thousand dollars are yearly expended on
the roads in Harforn county, and the con-
dition in which you find them certainly
does not speak well for the present system.

In road mending, perhaps would not be
out of place. We of this generations desire

Why not raise a sufficient fund to macad-

principal thoroughfares ? Two hundred
ana fifty thousand dollars expended on the
principal roads would accomplish this
work. By issuing county bonds for % to
30 years, paying each year the interest,
which would amount to fifteen thousand
dplla{s, and say nine thousand dollars of
the principal, which would not be any ad.

A CHAPTER OF ACcIDENTs.--On Monday
last horse belonging to Daniel Jones, Esq,
who resides ip the neighborhood of this place,
ran away with wagon to which he was at
tached, in which two of Mr.. Jones daughters
and another lady whose name we did not
learn, were seated, and who were driving to
Bel Air. All three of the ladies u ere thrown
from the wagon, and one of them much
bruised hy the wheel Of the vehicle passing
over her. The others escaped with slighter
injuries.
While Mr.. VIM G. Jeffrey was about get
ting into buggy, in which was seated a
young lady, his foot slipped between the
spokes OF one CT the wheels, and the horse
starting at the same time, he was dragged a
considerable distance before he could extficate
himself The buggy then struck the corner
of fence, the shock throwing the young la
dy out Both Mr.. Jeffrey and the young lady
were considerably bruised by the accident
On the same day, singular to relate, three
otherhorscs, in the vicinity of this place, ran
away whh vehicles, but no person was injur-
ed, as we learn, by these mishaps. The Gel
ebraton of the Fourth of July probably had
something TO do with the accidents, as the
sound of fire-cTackers waste be heard at in
tervals through the day.

CHILD BITTEN BY DoG.-A negro child,
three or four years old, diving withits mother,
at residence of J. NJ. Street,, Esq, in this
place, was severely bitten about the face and
neck, on Sunday last, by small dog. The
dog also attempted to bite the infant child of
Mr. Street,, but did not succeed. Some time
previous this same dog had been seen about
Mr.. Streets premises, but disappeared late
ly, and was not seen again until it returned
on Sunday last. The animal was subse-
quently killed by Mr.. Street,. He supposed
it to be laboring under an attack ofhydropho-

from losing sight of the Importance of our

To the Voters of Hartford County.
The question has been of late repeatedly
asked whether or not intended to be a can
didate for the State Senate at the election to
be held next November. To those who have
made the inquiry of me l replied Affirmative
ly, and as deem it to be proper that the pub
lie at large should be made acquainted with
the fact, take this methcd of doing so. In
thus announcing myself as a candidate, l will
avail myself of the opportunity to return my
heartfelt thanks to the people of Hartford, for
the high honor conferred upon me in electing
me to the State Senate in 1867, with the
knowledge that the chances Were even thatI

me.
Through life a Democrat, but always en-

know me so well, that if honored by having

Business Rnfegrifsy.

1t is a subject of common remark that there
is but little, if any, business transacted, Ell
Their in the city or the Country, on strictly
just and honorable principles. In too many
instances business men are educated with rs.
pcciaf reference to success, no matter by
what means success is to be attained. Pros
perity, too often is made to serve as Il cover
for the evil practices of a life time. The ma
jority Of people who associate with bad men
are free to lavish upon them fulsome fat
terry, while at the same time they ignore their
dishonesty and duplicity.
In the eyes of the public, to get the hes
Of a bargain is an indication Of geDine ability.
A man is Gerry shreqcd man, or q Tenaarka-
Die operator and yfnancaer, just in proportion
to the dishonesty of his business transactions,
provided the same arc skillfuhy managed
and yield him plenty of money. If he has
successfully swindled some contiding neigh
Dor, and cunningy evadcd the law that pre-
scribes penalty for similar offences, he is
at once the admiration of thousands offoolish
young men, who would gladly seek to initiate
him, provided they had a fitting opportuni-
ty. Some of them, perhaps, might possibly
be troubled with fears as TO the result. Others
might lack brains to carry out very deep laid
plot. But every one of these young men look
with favor upon the dishonest man, whom they
HuNC ScI up no uil lNbl, anu ECSlCtlt pun
licly applaud his actions.
We regret to say that old-fashioned integ-
rity is at discount. The methodical, hon
est, and dignfied merchant ola former period
has, in too many instances, given place TO
the individual who practises double dealing
"a man Of depraved tastes addicted to i'm
moral habits, and who is continually slam
derng every person possessed of sufficient
honor to despse his wicked conduct.
Young men just entering upon business
career are so frequently brought in direct
contact with base men, that itbehooves them
to be on their guard, that they may not be
influenced by their perncious example.
There was a time, ard it is not long since.
When mans word was considered as good
as his bond; but that time has passed away
and few business men ever think of relying
solely on individual honor.
There are tricks in all trades" is an
apothegm not often honored in the breach,
but very frequently so in the observance.
All occupations and professions are SO con-
tinually dishonored by the evil practices of its
members, that no one pursuit can lay special
claim for honesty over the other.
The importer sells his cargo by sample,
but the average shipments are only about
two thirds prime; the balance partakcs of
all grades, from fair to very poor. The iner-
chant finds hsthread sholt Of measure, his
silks damaged on the inside folds, his cloths
contain shodly, and his prints are far from
being fast colors. TO reclaim this damage
