PHILADELPHIA.
DefaIcatiOn In the Mint.

PHILADELPHIA, August 3O.-A defal-
cation, amounting to 100000, has been
discovered in the United States Mint in
this city. A cursory examination has
failed to fix upon the department which
is at fault, but Government officers will
make a prompt investigation. Ex.Gov.
Pollock, Director OF the Mint, has thus
far declined to give any details, for pru-
Dental reasons. 1t is presumed that
leading politicians will look upon this
event as one iraught with the greatest
danger to the interests Of Philadelphia,
as it will promote the scheme for the re-
moval OF the mint from this city to New
York. There are but few Of the heads
of departments in the Mint, from the
directors down, whose securities will
not cover the loss; the Government,
therefore can lose but little in any
event, unless it be true, as rumored, that
the defalcation is much more extensive
than the amount stated above. The
matter attracts universal attention, and
creates q great deal Of excitement.

The death of Charles Scribner, the
publisher, is announced. He had been
in ill-health for two years and went to
Switzerland for relief. He had gotten
so much better that he intended to re-
turn in the fall, when he was seized with
typhoid fever and taken away.
He began the business Of book pub
fishing in 1916. In 1857 he purchased
the large English importing business OF
Messrs. Bangs, Merwin & Co. taking
as a partner in that branch Charles
Welford. Under Mr.. Scribners man
agement, this part Of the business has
been more than quadrupled since it was
first commenced, whilst his original
business OF publishing has been so ex.
tended that the house, which now in
cludes as partners A. C. Armstrong, A.
J. Peabody and Edward Seymour,
ranks among the largest and most en-
terprising in the United States.

Good County Roads.

Good County Roads.
AS our readers are aware, we have, on va
rious occasions, endeavored to impress upon
them the great importance of having good
county roads. In our opinion no better invest
ment of money, and more profitable expendi-
ture of time and labor, could be made, than
to devote it to the improvement to proper
degree of the county roads. 1t would pay
many fold. 1t would save for our farmers
many dollars annually, and would add greatly
to the value of their real estate. 1t is not our
purpose now to write an article upon this sub
ect but to give our readers the benefit OF the
views of the Dispatch upon it as expressed IN
the following extract:
s'Nothing SO much improves the appearance
of a country as good roads; and, next to build
ing a railroad through section, nothing so
much enhances the value Of lands as good
turnpikes. Our people complain that they
cannot find buyers for their lands. They are
obliged to hold large bodies, paying taxes upon
them. without being able to cultivate more
than fifth of their surface. They do not see
why it is that there are no buyers. The causes
are several, but bad roads is one of them, and
it is one that may be easily removed. few
days now and then appropriated to repairing
them will pay the farmer better than any other
labor he can perform. To haul his produce
with ease and promptness to the railroad sta
tons is great point in his domestic economy.
Good roads will enable him to do this, and they
will save the wear and tear of his wagons and
avoid straining and injuring his horses. In
some sections the condition of the roads is such
that it is impossible sometimes to carry pro-
duce that is ready for market to the depot
The farmer is deprived of means, while he has
that which would bring him the cash blocked
I'D by impossible roads.
In section of country where roads are out
of order the wagons are always breaking down,
and the smith and wheelwright take large
share of the farmers gains. Delay, delay, in
all the matter of transportation, and IN coming
and going, is the consequence in that commu-
nity. Both trade and social intercourse are OBJ
structed, and the general Improvement which
is engendered by intercourse-the suggestions
of mental coision,-indeed, Civilizations re-
tarded Then there is the pleasure that is de-
rived from looking upon and riding over we'll
ordered roads, which SO dress-up and adorn
country. and tell such good story for the in
dustry and practical wisdom of the people who
inhabit it.
To sell lands the good road is the best real
estate agent in the world. To beautify coun-
try and facilitate the movements OF country
traAie-to cheaper the cost of neighborhood
transportation-to preserve wagons and dlmln-
ish the expense of their wear and tear-to keep
farmers cheerful and cause their business to
move gHbly and steadily, well graded and well
kept roads are invaluable.
Let the people of the country vigorously en-
force the road law, and twelve months will tell
story that will more than verify everything
we have said in this article

Lexington.

The condition of the Modern Athens
must be most deplorable, Judging from the
''pen and ink sketch of it by the artist of the
Lexington Gazette. That journal says:
"Our streets are shame. Maiu Street is a
scandal to any civilized community. The gut
tiers are in the road-bed, and where the cutters
ought to be, In most instances are the highest
parts of the street. Boulders and loose stones
lie thick in places and make travel both diff
cult and dangerous.
The back and cross streets are little better,
but far, very far from what they should be !;
and the alleys are perfect nuisances, filled, as
Swift said in describing portions Of London,
with dead cats, rats and turnip-tops,' and
other offensive and filthy accumuations.
The pavements are narrow irregular and
rough. Where they are not broken and inter-
rupted by worn out bricks and break neck off
sets, they are INSTRUCTED by cellar doors and
other unsightly and dangerous man traps =
There are not ten consecutive yards OF smooth
walk 10 the town. The fences are broken and
dilapidated and the outbuildings dirty. de-
cayed, implanted and unwhitewashed. Pig
pens and stables send up their stencil, and foul
exhalations pregnant with disease, roll up from
every quarter.
This is not over-drawn. A glance-a short
promenade-a sniff of the air will verify it all

Major Mcmahon.

1t seems that Maj. Mcmahon, of this place,
was the Hercules who lifted the smoke-wagon
out of the mire. La an article referring to the
Railroad Meeting in Lexington. the Lesc. Ga
zette thus alludes to the services rendered by
this enterprisiDg gentleman just in the mick
of time:''
''The lucky arrival of a plain, square headed
Irishman, Mcmahon, contractor on the Ches,
apeake and Ohio r. B., saved the meeting
from rom very sorry ending; Mcmahon in all
probability would be an awkward orator on the
advantages of Railroad through this beau,
tiful Valley" While the training of officers
was going on in the Court House two men
Allan and McMahon-put their heads togetn-
ar They were very ''level heads and the
traces tiehtened, the mired wheels rolled on
solid ground. Mcmahon pulled out his purse
and put down Twenty-Five thousand dollars cash.
which clinches the Baltimore million.

The New York News says that nearly all the
serious accidents which occur on railroads IN
the neighborhood of depots, are owing to the
haste Of those who suffer from them. Persons
who quietly wait until train stops before they
ATTEMPT to alight from it, and those who never
pursue train to get on after 1t has started
are not the victims of railroad accidents at sta
tons. Il is the people who are in too great
hurry to wait till a train stops, or those who
are in too great hurry to overtake one which
has already begun to move, who generally are
the subjects Of serious cataStrophes
