TIE Gravel Road meeting at Vim
n n on Saturday last, resulted, ap-
parently, in the organization of a
Company with a capital of $4,000 to
construct the road from Vincennes
to Petersburgh. OF this amount the
town Of Vincennes will be asked to
subscribe $15, 900. IF the Company
goes ahead and completes the road, it
will prove more valuable to Vim
cennes than some Of the railroads
passing through that place. We have
been surprised at the Indifference of
county towns with respect to the i'm
provement of their country roads,
while they subscribed OF donated
thousands upon thousands of dollars
to railroads. Good gravel or stone
pike roads never fail to develop the
farming country through which they
run even more than railroads, for
they enable the farmers to transport,
with ease and expedition, at all sea-
sons OF the year, their surplus pro-
duce to market. On the other hand,
instances are most common where
farmers are compelled to wagon their
produce six or eight miles, over roads
nearly impossible at the season they
desire to sell, while railroads are ac-
tually running through their farms,
because railroads can not receive
freight other than at established sta
tiops,

Some of our Democratic exchanges
regard the application of A. T. Stew
art, and other wealthy New York Re-
publieans, to Gev. Hoffman to veto
the Arcade Railroad Bill, recently
passed by the Democratic Legislature
of New York, as a manifestation of
perfect faith and confidence in the
independence and honesty of John
7. Hoffman, when they need his aid"
The truth is, Stewart & Co. represent
a capital interested in the defeat of
the Arcade Railway iniquity of over
$3.50, 0,000. Hence their faith and
confidence in John 7. Hoffman. They
know their man.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

THE Cairo Bulletin reports that a
little boy recently fell headlong into
the "Sipe Water in the rear of that
Office, from which. however. he was
rescued By his father who observed
his struggles. When pulled out, the
little shaver seemed to regard the
whole thing as a stupenduous joke,
saying: i've been baptized, amt II"
The truth of the matter is, the Cairo
urchins are too accustomed to "Sipe
Water" to be frightened at it under
any circumstances.

THE suicide mania is still prevalent
in all parts of the country. On Sat
urday night last Miss Eliza Holton, a
young lady thirty years Of age, COM
mitted suicide at the residence of her
brother, Park Holton, Esq, near
Warsaw, Gallatin County, KY, by
drowning herself in a c~istern. About
three months ago her mother. TO whom
she was devotedly attached, died,
since which time she has been melan-
choly and low-spirited, and several
weeks ago attempted suicide by shoot
ing herself. After this attempt at
self-destruction she was carefully
watched, but on Saturday night she
managed to elude the vigilance of
friends, and threw herself into a els
tern in the real of the house, where
her body was found the next morning.

SOME of our Republican exchanges
are insisting that a subscription
should be taken up for the benefit of
the family of Gen. George H. Thomas.
1t is stated that they were left in no
better pecuniary condition, than were
the families of Secretarys Stanton and
Rawlins. We know nothing as
to the financial condition of General
Thomas's family. but we are conf
dent that subscriptions for his own
private benefit we're always objection

during the war to present him with a

ALL HAIL
On Sunday last bout half past two,
The gathering clouds of sombre hue
Were flying past with quickened pace,
As IL contending in a race.
Loud peals of thunder burst; anon,
The lightning flashed; and then the storm
Burst in its fury DER the land,
Bringing destruction, death, on every hand.
The frozen rain-drops, from the skies
Fell to earth. of prodigious size,
And man and beast in terror fled,
While many in their fear fell dead.
The bravest of the brave aghast
Stood, while the storm went bowling past,
And viewed the havoc far and wide
From temporary shelter tried.
The storm exhausted, again the sun
The ruins sheds its light upon,
And there in safety, as before

The Flight of the Empress,

Nothing SO dramatic as the fight of the
Empress Eugene from Paris has occurred
in the annals of royalty since the sad de-
parture OF Marie Antoinette from the Tuil.
cries The Empress left the palace on
Sunday as soon as the news of the capture
Of tho Emperor was confirmed. She left
by the quay, accompanied by single SER
want. Her departure was SO hasty that
her room was left in disorder. Trunks
were piled in confusion on the floor, bon
nets and dresses we're lying about in heaps,
and the bed was not made, while in the
room cf the Emperor and the Prince,
which had not been occupied for many
night, everything lay as they had left
them weeks before. The Emperor's books
and phials containing phosphate of iron,
remained as he had left them when first
departing for the German frontier. An
unfinished historical exercise remained uu-
finished on the desk in the young Princes
room, and his leaden toy soldiers, with
which, probably, his father had BEEN teach
ing him the art Of war in preparation for
Saarbruck and Wissemburg, lay defeated
and overthrown on the carpet. Perhaps
Eugene, as much the wife and mother as
the Empress, had allowed the rooms Of her
dear ones to remain just as they had left
them to remind her more forcibly of the
absent. Perhaps she anticipated with
housewifely glee the pleasure so methodi-
cal man as the Emperor would take in
resuming every detail of his business or
his studies when he came back just at the
point where he left off, and SO bright a
boy as Louis would feel in fighting his
victorious battles over again with the
leaden soldiers that he had last seen in
disorder. -
But they have not come back, and will
not. The Empress flies secretly and id
terror to meet them where they are prison.

PAY Your DEBTs.-The ability of
nearly every man to pay his debts, depends
upon his ability to collect debts due him.
The individuals of community are linked
together by a chain of debt and credit, and
in times Of depression, the refusal of one
person to discharge single liability often
embarrasses line of dozen debtors and
creditors. Hence, the prompt payment Of
small debts becomes, in times like these,
public as we'll as personal duty. The
same money which pays one debt in the
morning, may pay dozen before night,
and twelve men are thus relieved from anx-
iety and pressure by the action Of one

s@ All business men should remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy. OF sll
classes, this rest and change Of empWy-
ment, is TO them most essential. Il not
only prolougs their lives but gives them
greater power for its duties. AS mere
worldly measure it is expedient, as duty
to God it is all-important. All business
should be laid aside, and the thought Of Il
banished. as nearly as possible, from the
mind. This can only be done by entering
upon other duties-the attendance Of pub
lio, worship, the Sabbath school, and other
labors appropriate to the duty. '
