The examination of the raftsmen who
We're implicated in the murder of six of
the steamer Dubuque's deck crew, one
week ago yesterday, terminated yester.
day afternoon. Two discharged prison
ers, Charles Welsh and Charles Linden
were introduced on the part of the de-
fence, but their testimony amounted to
nothing either way. Here the defence
rested. Patrick Coady was dis
charged from custody, while Gala
CHER Hart and Eagen were held for
further examination as further eXamina-
ton as further testimony may be obtain
ed concerning them.
The following prisoners were commit
ted for trial:
VIM. Blair, Ted. Butler,
John Toomey, Nick Scheltz,
Halsey Hammond, James Cronan,
John Campbell, Lewis Simpson,
VIM. Doolan, o. Chandemas.
The next term of the Rock Island Cir
cult court will be held in September,
but we understand that efforts are being
made to have the case transferred to the
United States Court, thus relieving
Rock Island County of a great burden
of expense.
When the steamer Dubuque reached
Muscatine, on Thursday, the belt taken
from the dead body of the negro found
in the river, below that city, was ex-
hibited to the deck hands, and identi-

A lady while out berrying at North
Granville, n. T., came upon corpse
with the throat cut from ear to ear. She
dropped her pail of fruit and rushed for
the villagers, who a. once repaired to
the scene to find that the corpse had
come to life and run off with her ber-
ries. The clever rogue had stained his
neck with berry juice.

INFLUENCE OF ROADS ON HoRsEs.-Dr.
Holland, now travelling in Europe,
writes to his journal a letter about
horses and roads, in which he saws =
The point which l wish to impress
upon my American readers is sim
ply this: that the English horse, On
pioyed in the streets of city or on
the roads in the country, does twice as
much work as the American horse SIM
ilarly employed in America. This IS
the patent undeniable fact. No man
can fail TO see IL who has his eyes about
him. How does he do it? These are
most important questions to an Amer
lean. Is the English householder than
the American? Not at all. Is he ov-
erworked? l have seen no evidence
that he is. | have seen but Ole lame
horse in London. The simple expla-
ration is, That the Englishman has in
vested in perfect and permanent roads
what the American expends in perish
able horses that required to be fed. =
We are using to-day, in the little town
Of Springfeld, just twice as many hors-
es as would be necessary to do its bus
mess f the roads all over the town were
as good as Main street is from Ferry to
Central. We are supporting hundreds
of horses to drag loads through holes
that oHght not to be permitted to exist.
We have the misery of bad roads, and
are actually or practically called upon
TO pay premium for them. 1t would
be demonstrably cheaper to have good
roads than poor ones. 1t is so here
A road well built is easily kept in re-
pair. A mile OF good McA dam is more
easily supported than a poor one.
