Supervisors may by reading the fol-
lowing remarks of Judge Pearson, deliver
ed before the Harrisburg court, learn the
risk they run in leaving roads in bad con-
dition. The remarks regarding the roads
there are applicable to nearly all parts of
this country:
"The various township supervisors have
been very negligent in following the re-
quirements of the law. Our county roads
were acknowledged by all, and returned by
the grand jury on several occasions, as ex-
tremely bad. The officers selected for the
purpose of repairing the township roads
have undoubtedly been derilect in their du-
ties. He warned the jury that in every in
stance in which a team was injured, or life
or limb lost, by bad roads or a neglected
bridge, the township was responsible for
damages, which, in his experience, had
at times been so large as to involve the
township in debt for years. In every in
stance the supervisors had it in their pow
er to levy tax sufficient to keep the high
ways in repair, and they were responsible
for any failures to do so. 1t was not only
necessary to remove boulders large enough
to upset wagon, but the roads and bridg-
es must be kept in such order as not to
be the cause of unusual wear and tear to
vehicles"

a calico dress and a pair of shoes. She
was not pleased with her share, and told
some Of the neighbors where the money
canse from. Her mother learning this, took
the child into a room and whipped her
with raw hide, and the father coming in

A Gross 0utrage.-On Monday of last
week, some villain committed terrible
outrage upon the person of little girl
about ten years of age, who lived in the
family of James Cambell, short distance
above this borough.
1t seems that the scamp told the child
that her mother, who lives several miles
Distant was sick and wanted her to come
home, and while on the way prevailed upon
her to enter the woods in search of herbs,
from which to make tea for her mother,
and while there, committed the outrage
The girl succeeded in reaching her home,
though badly injured, and has since been
in precaTious condition. Suspicion rest
ed upon fellow who had been around here
the day previous, and who was known to
be hard character, but though the officers
have made great exertion to arrest him,
they have as yet not been able to find him.
We think it the duty of the authorities
to offer reward for his arrest, and had the
child been the daughter of some rich per-
son, there is no doubt that such action
would have been taken ere this.
We trust no exertion will be spared to
bring such villain to punishment

New Method Of Making Bread.

A method of making bread from whole
wheat, without previously grinding it
into flour, has been devised by a French
man named Sezille. The grain is first
soaked in water for half an hour; then
put into a revolving cylinder with a
rough inside surface, and shaken up, SO
as to remove the coarser part of the
skin; and then soaked twenty or twen-
ty-four hours more in water of the
temperature of IS degrees Fahrenheit,
with which little yeast and glucose has
been mingled. By this means the grain
acquires pasty, doughty consistency,
and can be mixed up by machinery and
made into bread in the usual way. The
invention is an important one, both from
its saving the expense of grinding, and
from the greater economy of keeping
and transporting the whole grain in
stead of flour. " aa

A New Outdoor Game.

Next season, says an exchange, will
see added to the large number of out
door recreations in vogue in this coun-
try that which has recently been tried
in Chicago with good success, and what
may be called American Cricket The
field is laid out like a cricket field, and
the striker wields the willow instead of
the ash. The bowler, who stands twen-
ty-two yards from the striker, bowls as
in cricket. The striker, in making a
tally, runs to the first base and then to
the third dispensing with the second),
these being in the form of triangle,
and at distance of twenty-eight yards
apart. There are none of the stupid
and useless six-ball "overs." "Out leg
before wicket is dispensed with, rule
which, while in force, gives great an
noyance to the umpire, and general dis
satisfaction to the batsmen. The prom
inent and attractive features of both the
English game of cricket and the Ameri-
can pastime of baseball are taken and
rolled into one. thereby making a mag
niflcent game, and one that will doubt
less prove very popular.
