Working the Roads.

The season for working theroads has
come again and it should be made mat
ter of consideration as to how the money
can be expended to the best advantage.
The work on the roads should be done
before the ground gets too dry and hard,
just after light rain, and while work
in the fields can not be done to advan-
tage-is the best time-as more can be
accomplished then than at almost any
other time, and the water along the
roads will Indicate how much cutting
will be necessary to drain it off, and
this is often the improvement most
needed. We say let the work on the
roads all over the county be done with a
view to securing drainage to the roads
complete and thorough, anG then the
money collected every year for this pur.
pose will not be spent in vain as great
share of it has been where the matter o.
drainage has not been attended to
Model your roads after the pixies, so fal
as the drainage is well done, and they
will be greatly improved. But be surt
to get the water away from the sides O
the oad. 4-.

Burglary.

On Thursday night last, some un-
known parties, who were not expert in
the business, entered Werlich, Gasche
& Cos. Hardware store, by forcing open
the shutter, and breaking pane of glass,
loosening the window fastening, and
raising the window entered the store.
After locking the stair door to prevent
those sleeping up stairs from coming
down, they tried TO force open the safe.
Failing in that and not finding any
money in the drawer they appropriated
some pocket cutlery. From the Hard
ware store they then went to George
Schnorr's, entering in like manner
through the window, forcing open the
desk, taking out some loose change, in
all about Sc. To finish up, they laid in
a good supply of tobacco. No doubt
they were in pressing need, and did not
have TIME to call in the morning. An
unsuccessful attempt was also made to
enter jacobs Jewelry Store.

The Insect Year.

From the reports that come to US from
all parts of the county and from differ
ent portions of the State we conclude
this win be year of activity and of de-
struction by insects. The dry fall and
winter, and still dryer spring, has tended
to preserve unharmed the germs of i'll
sect life, and they are now coming into
being with rapidity and in numbers that
promise destruction TO fruits and crops
of nearly all kinds. The caterpillars,
potato bugs and cut-worms are found
in great numbers, and unless an active
and vigilant war of determination is
commenced. at once, and kept up for
weeks, wemay expect this seasons crops
to suffer. One raid on the worms is not
enough, they build up almost as fast as
their nests are destroyed. Let every one
who has trees or fields to be effected by
these pests, commence at once a war of
extermination of them and do it thor
mghly. E HsL e3-s IS -fH q.

Keep Your Discharge Papers.

Soldiers are advised not to sell OF
part with their discharges, which are in
active demand in the West. The new
law of Congress so modifies the require
ments of the Homestead act that a sol
dier or sailor who served ninety days OF
more during the rebellion may deduct
his term of enlistment from the five
years settlement hitherto required to
perfect his title. For instance, if he
served three years in the army or navy
he may acquire full title to quarter
section of land by residence of two
years. There is evidence that the sharks
are preparing to wiring dishonest for
tunes ont of the law.

The following is the experience of a
correspondent of the Lima Gazette /:
"The time has come to plant potatoes
and they should be planted with corn or
something that will shade the potatoes.
The potato bugs lay their eggs on the
under side of the leaves, and if the sun
does not shine the eggs cannot hatch.
Last year I happened to plant my po-
tatoes with corn, alternately hill of
corn and hill of potatoes, and the bugs
did not hurt the potatoes until the corn
was cut, except 4 few hills in the center
where there was no corn, and there the
bugs ate the potatoes all up where the
sun shone fair. The bugs will not work
on the potato vines where they are
shaded. The old bugs may eat the po-
tato vines, but the young ones will not
unless they have plenty of sunshine"

New Telegraph Line.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany commenced last week to put up a
wire direct from Cleveland to Akron
on the c. Mt. V. & ID. r. R., and will
continue it to Millersburg, and in due
course of time through to Mt. Vernon
and Delaware. This is what has been
needed badly by all the towns along
this route. 1t will be great convent
ence, as well as a benefit to all living
along the line. No railroad should be

business men especially, is now to be
supplied. t E e.-f.

The Very Best.

The question is often asked why the
Howe Sewing Machine Is the best.| The
answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used a Howe Machine pronounces it the
most complete. Its work speaks for it.
self. No other machine has such unan-
imons testimony in its behalf. Every
body praises it, and no family should be
without it. If YOU wish a No.-1 ma

The Fruits of Advertising,

The editor of the Grand Junction
Headlight advertised that he would take
"a good dog in payment for a years sub
scription." The next day twenty-three
dogs were taken to his office; and two
days afterwards, score or more OF
farmers, living at distances of from
eight to twenty miles, appeared to sub
scribe for the paper, tending dogs in
payment. And, to cap the climax, the
Mayor of the city has notified him that
a tax of 81 must be paid on every dog
owned in the place.

better raised anywhere.

The first lesson that a young man
should learn is that he knows nothing.
The earlier and the more thoroughly
this is learned the better. A homebred
youth growing up in the light of pa
rental admiration, with everything to
foster his vanity and self-esteem, is sur
prised to find, and often unwilling to ac-
knowledge, the superiority of others.
But he is compelled to learn his own in
significance, his airs are ridiculed. his
blunders are exposed, his wishes disre-
garded,' and he is made to cut sorry
figure, until his self-cOnceit is abashed
and he keenly feels that he knows moth
ing. When young man has thorough
ly comprehended the fact that he knows
nothing, and that intrinsically he is but
of little value, the next lesson is that
the world cares nothing about him. He
is the subject of no mans overwhelm-
ing admiration; neither petted by the
one sex nor envied by the other, he has
to take care of himself. He will not be
noticed until he becomes noticeable; he
will not become noticeable until he does
something TO prove that he is some use
to society. No recommendation will
give him this, nor ought to give him
this; he must do something to be rec
ognized as somebody. The next lesson
is that of patience. A man must learn
to wait as well as to work, and to be con-
tent with those means of advancement
in life which he may use with integrity
and honor. Patience is one of the most
difficult lessons TO learn. 1t is natural
for the mind to look for immediate re-
suits. Let this, then, be understood at
starting; that the patient conquest of
difficulties which rise in the regular
and legitimate channels of business and
enterprise is not only essential in secur-
ing the success which young man
seeks in life, but essential also to that
preparation of the mind requisite for
the enjoyment of success, and for re-
tanning it when gained. 1t is the gen.
eral rule in all the world and in all
time, that unearned success is 2 curse.

game was quite an interesting one, and

pie. Some fine playing was done on
both sides. The Hardies, however,
showed more skill and endurance, being
as a general thing, older persons, than
the members of the Rustic Club. The
Rustics played very well but showed
signs of fatigue or Indifference in some
of their playing. Everything passed OFF
very pleasantly. One accident happened
however, which caused some delay in
the game. viii ii. Smith of Wooster,

The POLICE SCANDAL of last Friday night

which the exposures made in The NEWS have

and indignant comment among the colored
people, who are asking with some warmth,
''what the old man (Pillsbury) is going to do
about - Three separate warrants have
been taken out against Detective Hernandez
BY the three women. The trial justice had to
60 to the bedside Of Hannah Deas 10 take her
affidavit, as she was too Ill to rise. The afflda-
Wit of Anna Baker charges Hernandez with
having placed the muzzle Of his loaded revol.
yer over her heart and threatening to shoot,
which she believes he would have done.
We are Informed that a warrant of arrest is
also to be taken out against Chief Hendricks
tor his participation in the affair. 1t seems
to be admitted, on all hands, that he was at
least an accessory In the crime. The whole
matter is to be silted before Trial Justice Mi
mott as soon as hezIs we'll enough to try the
case.
