road leading from this town TO ScraG-
bl,. and 10 the fine Plantations Of Hen
" Shepherd, Esq, is III gu excellent
condition, being the finest III the Coun-
~. The distance is between four aud
five miles, and the load is said 10 be
equal 10 any shell road i'll the county,
and one Of The mos; magnificent drives,
which cannot be surpassed anywhere.
Notwithstanding tins Is Il pubic road,
and which should have been kept up by
the County, Mr.. Shepherd has eApend-
ed over tour thousand five hundred dol
lars, out of his own pocket, TO make IL
what it is. The County, We believe,
paid him 700 during the past live
wears, " hich is all that has been eXpend-
ed by tie County during that Time.
The County aud the public generally,
aud especially those residing along The
road Who mostly use the thoroughiare,
are greatly Indebted TO MIR. Shepherd
tor the public spirit manifested Oh his
part, and ihe expense he has incurred
in making this road 50 complete a pub
lie ben. lit. 1t is without exception the
finest aud most pleasant drives III the
State, and ALI ornament to the County.
Mr.. 5. has never asked OF the County
but s6UJ, barely sufficient aud less than
it would have cost the County 10 have
kept the old road i'll repair since MIR. 5.
commenced his improvements four or
five years ago, therefore it cannot 9th
erwise be regarded than decided
" handsome donation OF several
thousands OF dollars to The County, for
which Mr.. S. deserves much praise aud
many thanks on the part Of his neigh
bors especially, and the people through
out the County generally.

people OF this country took from the
Government tokens in the shape OF
Treasury notes, demand notes and legal
tenders, as so many dollars actually
paid out as money that could pay taxes
and debts, and buy for its owners the
six per cent. Understanding bonds OF
the Government.
The legal tenders have been allowed
to circulate as money until they have
bought and paid for more property than
the whole assessed value of the United
States
It has been we'll said that the currency
Of a country is the life-blood Of nation.
Our country had become as dependent
on continued flow of the peoples mou-
ey into all the veins and arteries OF the
trade and commerce of the country as
the man is dependent on continued
| full dow OF blood to carry nutriment into
all parts of the human body. To with
draw the ife-giving currency from the
channels OF trade, was to take away that
which gave activity and life to the en-
ployments and enterprise of this people
hence the stagnation dearth of employ
ment and trade that followed, and Is
now pressing upon US, causing inability
to consume as well as to produce, and
hence the accumulations amid starving
and unoccupied people. Yours mos
respectfully,
PETER COOPER.

It would be utterly impossible to com.
plete the investigation by Thursday, ana
Of course a further remand would have
to be made.
The outrage seemed to be far worse
than was at first supposed, it being be-
lieved that two persons, not one only,
had been engaged in it. A man was seen
going 10 Cuniffe with parcel similar 10
that containing the legs, but that prs
oner was not described as prisoner ~ tne
dock. There was another circumstance
pointing TO completely ia the murder:
Strangely enough another bloodhound
came upon the scene. On Wednesday.
the Goth ult, . furniture broker at Enfield
was coming to Blackburn with cart
between nine and ten o'clock. At the
toll-bar he passed man carrying par
eel under his coat. A dog he had with
him, bloodhound and mastitf. went
back to the man, jumping upon his
breast with his feet and pushing its head
under his coat. The broker, knowing
his dog to be dangerous one, lmmeul-
ately called it away; but it repeated TINS
strange conduct second time. He de-
clared solemnly that Taylor was the mar
he met. Therefore, it would appear there
was one person carrying the body about
and another concerned in the murder
At all events, these were facts which re-
quired to be very carefully examined IN
to, and il would take the police long
time to complete their Investigations.
| After beng removed the prisoner con
fessed that he committed the murder and
without being aided by any one, mutlla
ted the body and dispersed the remains
The prisoners shop was searched yester
day afternoon, when portion OF Emil.

The elevator men of Chicago have
about run their course, and their extor-
tionate frauds upon the western farmers
will soon end with their own existence.
The Injustice of the charges made by
these parties has been so patent that the
world has wondered why the people
should submit to them. Tie truth is that
the elevator men have been masters OF
the situation to very large degree. The
readiest practical way OF reaching the
sea-board appeared to be through Chi
cago, and while this was so. it was to be
expected that the men who manage our
elevators and who have only one OBJECT
in view-the enriching of themselves
would continue to impose upon the pro-
Queer. The only legitimate means OF re-
lief was the Mississippi river, but that
was unavailable, first, because it was
passible as it's mouth for heavy Shipping,
and second, because OF the climate, that
