the cars reached Hartland, the saloon was

ATTEND TO THE RoADs.-An excellent
opportunity now offers for the Overseers
of Roads throughout the country to dis
tinguish themselves and show their
public spirit by setting about such
work as will insure us good roads and
freedom from dangerous mud holes.
The terrible ruts and the juvenile
mountains which adorn some Of the
roadways and make them like magni-
fed nutmeg graters may be good for
dyspeptic patients, but they are pretty
rough on springs and temper. Reads,
say the historians, are sure indicators
of the progress Of the people, and it has
always been noticeable fact that the
most enlightened and progressive people
had the best roads.

OR CALIFORNIA DELEGATIoS.-Our
delegation Of ladies, medical gentlemen
and other citizens was at Salt Lake City
on the 29th OF April, as We learn from
the Salt Lake Herald, of that date, a
copy of which we have received, thanks
to the attention of ex-Mayor S. McClel-
Ian. The Wheeling delegation were
registered at the Townsend House.
From the Herald we clip the following
The MEDICAL MlGRArIoN.-We have
not yet heard if California has had any
epidemic Of deadly character as con-
sequence OF the great rush Of gentle
men representing the materia medica
and those delicate and insinuating in
struments with which they torture the
muscles and nerves of the less learned
body public, when necessity calls for it.
But the doctors are passing west, like
locusts on the wing, or doves in gregar-
ious flight-the latter smile will make
our peace with the formidable gentle
men-and the Eastern States are hav-
ing a sudden return to q condition OF
vigorous health. We couldn't account
all week for severe attack Of nervous,
bilious or other disagreeable headache,
for the first time in about half a cen
fury, until the fact of the gentlemen
calling at Salt Lake was brought up.
Then the matter was plain. The sick
ness was an involuntary tribute to their
skill; for who could be well in the pres
ence of so much healing ability?
