RoAps AND THE STREETS.

The heavy rains of the past week have made Sal havoc Niih some uf Inc roads In town. and nltlnagh the ,fnads have been repaired by the road workers. their lnbors have been somewhat destroyed ? by tEe lale heavy rain, and the work hos 10 he done ovtr again. Newlown Street, from the liberty pole up 10 the school house. al The head af ,gc street, present cd fearful picture Of filth and neglect, Saturday and Sunday, and will always be just ns 1t Is if suffered 10 be washed out every rain lhae falls,
 If our memory is not nt fault We be 1'ieve that we can tru,hfully say that Nrwtown Street has not been worked, north of the liberty pole, since our ad vent into the town Now the tax puy- ITS on inc street pay for the working of the roads of the town, md they arc al. tended to and kept in repair, but the principal streai, the very locality that is used as much, and in some instances more, than any portions of the town, ex. .ceptng the road 10 Sandy Hook, and the street leading to the rubber works, is left unattended To us this seems very strange. The street needs filling in with good gravel, which coRld, and should be done, without injury to any resident, Or property holder on the street. When ever it is done it will be positive bene. tit to the town. As the present condi- ,tion of the street is the cause of consid- erabe comment, we have yentured these few lines, with hope that if nothing else Can bring about d change, that some of our public-spirited men would urge special town meeting, and See what the people would do.

DEAR SIR,-Some time since, in answer
to letter from the Marshal, sent to his
address the opinion Of the Attorney
General on the question of the trespass
bv the Railroad Company on the Reserv-
alton of Rock Island | hope you have
seen it as ! think il is conclusive as to the
idea that a cesson from Illinois was
necessary to give jurisdiction over re-
eerYation made during the Territorial con-
ditior.
The Marshal was instructed to take
legal measures to enforce the order against
the trespassers, and | hope your duties
will not be further INSTRUCTED
Enclosed please find copy Of letter
which presented, Ia answer to an argu-
ment sent by the counsel of the Company
to the President and by him submitted to
me for examination. 1t probably con-
tains nothing which has not occurred to
you but it may interest you as showing the
views of the Department at that date.
There are some other matters OF which
l intended to say something to you but
am interrupted and must postpone.
Accept my thanks for the valuable
service you have rendered in your ofhcia
capacity and my best wishes for yOul
future happiness and advancement.
Respectfully yours
