-- Our Union School was never in a
Aourishiue condition as it is at present
under the excellent management of P E
Morehouse, assisted by corps Of efticieh
teachers. Mr. M has succeeded in estab
fishing good discipline in his rooms, al
though it has cost him great deal OF Ia
bor. and sometimes caused alittle unpleas
antness to do so, yet, without it, the schoo
could never have been a suscess, as W
think all who know anything of it, mus
confess it now is.
= The turnpikes over which we passe
n couple Of weeks since, in Franklin, Del
aware and Marion counties, compare un
Ifavorably with the free turnpikes in Fay
ette county. The pixies in the former Coun
ties are toll roads, and seem to have bee
built with the one idea of making none
from the tolls, and with that view, seem
have been made with as little expense a
possible, and still be able to keep gates uT
aud secure pay from all who are cOmPelle
to pass over them.
Our roads were bull for the comfort an
convenience of the people, and, althoug
some Of our people find fault with thei
construction and cost, we can assure ther
tbev are better, in every respect, than 40.
of the new toll gate roads over which W
have PASSED North of this County, o
even in Ross county.
