ROAD LAw.-We made allusion last week to
the Road Law adopted by the Legislature;
which establishes the old Road System; by
which the roads are to be kept up at the ex-
pense Of labor exclusively. and PROPERTY en-
tirely relieved from contributing to this pur-
pose: I'VE also stated that clause; which af-
ter d prolonged and animated contest, was in
serted, left it with the supervisors and
twenty-five free hold petitioners to retain the
presene mixed system of labor and tax: 1t is
as follows:
A. 1t, shall be lawful for the board OF super
visions OF any county upon the petition OF
twenty-five frreeholders from any magisterial
district or districts, affected thereby, to adopt
a mixed system of contract and labor tor Work.
ing the roads OF such county, such system may
be applied to the whole county or any magfs-
terial district thereof: provided that no citizen
shall be Compelled to labor more than three
days in one year, nor shall any tax greater
than five cents on the one hundred dollars Of
property, be levied Under such system and
provided further, that, upon the petition Of
fifty freeholders OF the county, the county
court shall have power to set aside and annul
the action OF the board of supervisors, af-
ter having. caused thirty days notice of the fl
ling of such petition to be given to the clerk Of
the board Taxes under this section shall be
levied and collected as other eounty ievics.
The question with our people is whether
they desire to keep Their roads id good repair
or not. If they do, the Best method to adopt
is to avail themselves Of the provision We have
quoted.

WEST END SEMINARY.-We neglected to
make mention in our last issue Of the closing
exercises of Miss Mary L. Woodward's primary
school, in the western portion Of the city, which
occurred on last Tuesday week. Although
this commencement was not quite SO preten-
tious as those of our large colleges, still, the
little ones each had their say, and what is more,
a regular banquet Of good things when all Of
twas over. Dialogues, Rotations and speeches
were the order OF tile day. and the liliputian
Cushmans and Ciceros performed their respec-
tive parts with great credit to themselves and
teachers. A stage was erected out Of doors and
lastly decorated with flowers and wreaths, and
we doubt ii the more brilliant triumphs Of their
elder sisters, were hall so much appreciated.
Miss Woodward may congratulate herself ON
the advancement Of her scholars, and the en-:
tire success Of the closing exercises.

CEASES CoMPoUNb.-For several years,
Messrs. Cease & Co., have been manufacturing
patent medicine in this city. which has prov
en-, upon fair trial, to be very efiacious in the
relief of aches, bruises, spraInes, &c. The
medicine is gradually building itself up arepu-
tatioa, and the many testimonials from our
best citizens bear witness to its merits. 1t has
been tried and found to be all that is claimed
for it, and as it is entirely home production,
our citizens should at least test its virtues be-
fore purchasing any outside patent medicine.
They can give it trial at any rate, and it will
speak for itself.
