Mending Roads,

An old road supervisor, who has had
years of practical experience in repair.
ling roads, says it ought to be made a
statutory offence to put shovel full OF
dirt upon the highway after the first OF
June, except where the ground has been
viewed by the County Commissioners
and the work ordered for the public
safety. In general, all the repairing that
Is done should be finished three weeks
earlier than that. The true theory of
road making is that the new earth should
be added i'll the spring, while the frost is
coming out of the ground, so that new
land old shall settle down together for
the summer. When this is done, the
additionis incorporated bodily, and new
Ter heard from afterwards. Ii is the only
way i'll which hard, firm roads can be
obtained. On the other hand, when. as
generally at present. the repairing is put
oil till after harvesting, we have bad
'roads all the fall, execrable roads all win
ter except where tic ground is deeply
covered with snow; and. come spring.
the passage 10 and from even the nearest
localities, becomes a matter To be seri-
ously considered, well prepared for if
or altogether avoided, if dis
can be done.

'sThe Rebel Pirate Alabama" i"

One Of the crew of this freebooter is
now on board the steamer Virginia, ly-
ing at East Boston. He says that the
Dcerhound was in fact paid tender TO
the Alabama, that she had on board the
thermometers and other valuables which
had been stolen from American ships,
tor the thieves were not permitted TO
land them at Cherbourg,) that few days
before the fight with the Kearsage, she
brought fifty men from Portsmouth, Eng
land, trained gunners, who had received
their training on the British practice-ship
Excellent, 10 work the guns, that these
men when the Alabama left Cherbourg,
were stationed at the guns, and had en-
tire control Of them; for the officers
know very little, if anything, Of gunnery,
and that he thinks the Alabama fired
three shots to one fired by the Kearsage.
The Alabama was somewhat quick in
her rolling. and hence why the firing was
SO rapid. The gunners could not elevate
or depress the guns with any degree OF
ACCURACY, therefore they trusted to luck
to hull the Kearsare, for their lire firing
was uniformly correct: but the shot gem
orally passed over the Kearsagc or among
her rigging, without doing much dam
Iage. On the other hand, he says, the
firing Of the Keargage was very true
leyery time shot struck the Alabama, it
made her tremblc fore and aft. and to-
ward the close Of the action, crash upon
crash tore her almost in two midship.
when she filled and went down. She
lost forty-seven men out of two hundred
and twelve with which she began the ac-
ton. He thinks her powder was bad,
her officers were fools, and the English
men who worked the guns too self-con-
|ceited to initiate the cool deliberation of
aim that prevailed on board the Kear-
sage from first 10 last Boston Tray.

farm of J. ii. Seebolt, at Newburg, XIV.
and publish report, stating that Mr.
ISeebolt's process makes a syrup which i
entirely void of the sorgho taste, so ran
cid and unpopular; that it thoroughly
reilnes, taking out all impurities; that Il
makes sugar as sure as the world re-
wolves, and that this sugar is so COM
pletely free from the taste Of sorghum
and SO dry, white, and favored as TO be
taken for the Very best brands of Mus
covado or New Orleans, that sell in mar

Sorgho laiseys inform us that hors-
head of this sugar can be raised to the
acre, and in addition to this, several bar
rels of fine syrup and superior vinegar,
making much more profitable crop than
either wheat or corn. Hence we make
the suggestion that our farmers turn their
attention in this direction, TO the end
that the right to manufacture may be Sc
cured.

FISHING FOR CATs.-For some time
past. the butchers in the Preston-street
market at Louisville, have been nightly
deprecated upon, and their stalls robbed
OF no inconsidetable amount of choice
meats. AS the house was always secure
ly locked, they could only fix their sus-
picions upon the felincs that pervade
that section Of the city in such innumer-
able droves. Friday night, in order to
unravcl the mystery. these knights of the
cleaver set a long trout line through the
market building, properly baited. Sat-
urday morning they were rejoiced to
discern dangling upon the hooks seven
immense tom-cats, all in the highest state
of bcwildcrmeflt.

tlhcate of Mrs. Arbuckle of Washington
county and sixteen children who weys.
emitted 10 pensions, was presented. As
me law only grants relief to children
uhder sixteen years Of age, it will be
seen mat this is cne of the healthiest old
lanliies in the country. How many
children there are over sixteen years old
the certificate didn't state. but there ara
probably dozen or SO. In our opinion
Mrs. Arbuckle ought to be granted q
good big pension on general principles.
such family would make even one Of
