BAD ROADS. As the season Tor work,
Tag the road> advances, i, would be well
for Supervisors in the several district,
to begin TO consider what is the best
method of making them good, and keep
ing them 30. We can never hope TO
h ave better roads than they are now,
except they are worked to a better ad-
vantage. II is q bad plan to work the
roads but once year. They should be
worked in the Spring, aud early in the
Fall likewise, and then all holes should
be kept filled up, culverts kept open and
in good repair. and the approaches to
them kept open. II this was attended
to. and other necessary repairs at the
right time. our roads would be kept in
q much better condition. How often
are roads made almost impossible by
few rods of mud holes, which could be
easily filed?
Where the soil is tenacious, and holds
water, it should be thrown up high and
narrow, and well ditchcd on each side,

Is what makes bad roads; il softens the
lirt, and that lets horses and wagons 90

brown up to enable the dirt to dry out
quickly. Good roads are benefit both
town and country. We hope that

town last Saturday, to submit bids for

tees considering all Of the bids too high,
refused to let the contract, and agreed
to receive new proposals on next We'd. /

Andy White citizen Of that place. was
short time since taken with that ter.

local doctors was called and administer.
ed morphine to the delerious man i'm full
doses. 1t having no immediate effect.
dose after dose was administered until
we are informed, rs many as fifteen
grains were consumed. At this junc.
ture another doctor was called who. on
being informed in regard 10 the case ,ad-
lninistered hydratc of choral. The poor
man was, however, by this time beyond
relief and soon expired. Considerable
feeling was engendercd in the neigh Dor.
hood. and the result was that the & rand
Jury last week returned an Indictment
for murder against the physician who
administered the morphine. Here the
matter rests at present. We tell the tale
as 1t was told to us.-i Washington Dem.

A swindle at Newport. R. i

NEW YORK, November 23.-A special
from Newport, r. l., says the following
swindling operation came to light In this
city tonight: About six months ago q
man called on Oliver Read, wealthy
broker in this city, and requested him 10
purchase $4,000 worth Of Central Pacific
Railroad ten per cent income bonds.
Read told him that he would not purchase
but he would sell them for him al II per
cent. The man consented and Read i'm.
mediately forwarded them to Fisk s.
Hatch, N. y, for them to sell for him. In
due season Read received q telegram from
Fisk & Hatch, stating they had succeeded
In dispOsing of them and that they had
placed the proceeds 10 his credit at a
bank In that CITY. Thereupon Read
informed his man, who by the
way, had failed to state his name, that
he had sold them and paid the man $14..
500, after deducting his commission and
that Of Fisk & Hatch. This morning
Read received word from Fisk & Hatch
stating that the bonds were couterieit,
and they also sent him 5000 requesting
him 10 make good their loss. At noon he
also received another letter from them
with $4,000 OF the bogus bonds.
This fraud was detected at the Office OF
the railroad company In New York,
when the coupons were presented for
payment. II Is reported on good author.
ity that the swindler was In New York
yesterday, and doubtless will soon be in
the hands OF justice.
