IMPROVED ROAD No 90.

IMPROVED ROAD NO ~.
In the matter Of improved road M. 90 the ne
titon and bond was iiled April 20, 1869. Action
was taken thereon by the commissioners at their
June session 1862 See Journal 73j The
petition is by persons owning lands in said conn
" adJtcent to the line of said improved county
road. IL does not say that thcy are a majority
OF Tue landowners whose land will be assessed
Tor the improvement, ~ required by the statute I;
nor is there any evidence whatever appearing
That such is the fact. It docs not state the kind
~ Improvement wanted, and in fact does not pray
Tor atiy thing excepting a view aud survey Of
the road as the law directs. Does not refer 10
what law is meant or alluded 10.
The bond is not such as the law requires. Il
not conditioned for the payment OF the expenses
Of the preliminary survey an1 report IL the said
improvement is not finally ordered. II does not
purpOrt tO be made bv Irresponsible freehOlders,"
but is conditioned only for costs aul expenses
that have occurred or IN ~ occur in the imprOv-
ing Of the road in case the same shall not be cs-
tablished and improved rs n public highway.
Said describe bond is subscribed in part by
Pierce Mercer, James Kerr and John Brad
shaw. The commissioners, in their journal,
appear 70 find that said bond was given by re-
spons:ble freehplders of said county, conditioned
b pay expenses Of the preliminary survey and
repart of viewers and engineer it the said i'm
pr1vement shall not finally be given. THIS fud-
ing Of the commiSsi, ners is not in accordance
with the facts.
TIE ORDER TO VIEWERS.
The preliminary survey of said road was or
dered and 5. d. Siearns, NJ. l.. q n and Samuel
Starr appointed viewers aud ,. Donaldson ap-
pointed engineer, who were directed to proceed
ON the 30h day Of August, 1869, tn examine,
view, lay out and straighten, or recommend
any other improvement as in their opinion pub
lie convenience and utility require, &c.
The order to viewers and surveyor is not on
file among the papers The report of viewers
and surveyor was in favor Of the improvement
less the west halt mile, and the commissioners
order the said improvement. In their findings
they appear tn find that the petition was signed
by majority Of the resident landowners of said
county. whose lands will be assessed for said
improvement, &C., but ON what evidence same
is not given. 1t is certainly not in the petition
or among the papers OF the road. We find the

the block gradually rises up and, in the

pleasure in the display we saw at Capt.
B. r. Washes yesterday embracing ele-
CANT children's suits, u as Harvard,
Lafayette, Kn;ckerbocker, Bismarck and
sailor STYLES, with beantifnE little overcoats
to match: in fact. everything for the outfit
of bows and childrem including understands,
socks. etc. In his assortment he has sly
lish suits for the cherub of two and u hall
wears, and the more useful school clothes
for those of twelve or fifteen years, with
all the intermediate grades and sizes.
While there we saw some boys beng fitted
out for school, and from their looks Of
pride and satisfaction, We anticipate that
their progress in their studies will be such
as to amply repay their loving parents
OUTLAY. What we saw in children's cloth
ing was, however, mere chitds play to the
splendid stock of mems goods thas Capt.
Walshe has just opened, sueEr as shirts OF
his own make, Cartwright and Warmers

variety Of neck ties and collars, all kinds OF
toilet articles, perlumery, soaps, hair brush:

The Possibility Of Restoration

The independence Beige observes on The
subject: However impossible and mon
strons may seem the very idea of such 8
restoration, there would be nothing aston
ishing in its entering the brain of the mar
who accomplished the I'd Of December
nineteen years ago, and who, but yesterday
forced the armies which France eonided te
his unhappy hands to capitulate at Sedan,
when, according to statements made by
Gen Wimpfen himself, there was still a
chance of saving a portion by vigorous &C
ton. This latter point is established by
a very curious account of the battle of Sc.
dan, published by the Patrie, and which il
declares to be authentic, tn is to say,
emanating from the General who signed the
capitulation. Is it to this same project
that we must attribute the ultra-discreet
attitude of the King of Prussia and his
chief Minister, and the silence which they
observe towards friendly Courts and to.
ward diplomacy? 1t is a fact that the Elm,
peror of Russia has written all autograph
letter to the King of Prussia without hav.
ing received an answer as yet, and that a
personal letter of Lord Lyons to NJ. de Bis,
mark has had no better fate. Let MS add
that it is not without surprise people see
the extraordinary attentions lavished by the
Prussian Court on the prisoner whom it
screens at Wilhelmshoe, and that they
ask whether they are not to be explained
by this mad scheme, the existence Of which
is averred by sensible men, who are in a
position to know what is giving on, as
something much more serious than they
are disposed to believe in Berlin" The
Nord says that this report belongs to the
region of fancy.

New YORK, Oct. Times special:
LONDON, Oct, Letters from Paris, da-
ted October 3, state that the Socialists oppo-
sition is still at work and growing. They now
demand the confiscatinn of the property OF
all who left Paris, for the benefit of the ma
tional defenders and the sequestration of the
property of all accomplices i'll the Bonapart-
ist usurpation. The Government has been
weak enough to yield, in some cases. The
question of food begins to be serious. Al
ready the club men are urging the people on.
saying the provisions belong to the irop'e, and
Paris had no right to take them. Five thou
sand beeves and five thousand sheep are
killed daily, which is, perhaps, enough tor
all, if a lust distribution was made, hnt un-
fortunately money buys best in quantity and
quality, and little or none is left for the poor.
Groceries have been closed by the people for
raising prices. There is no forage for horses,
which are being killed for meat.
Charcoal and wood have nearly failed,
which is a serious thing for the people +; still!
the city may hold out for some weeks longer
without much suffering from famine if the
proper organization is made. The Govern
ment has fixed the price of meat and made
requisition for all -four and wheat in the city,
