noticed some of Your correspondents

forsaken set of highways, than those of
this county, do not exist anywhere: not
even in the newly settled districts of the
far West. AS we crawl through these
quagmireS, hub deep, we should consider
the cause of this condition of affairs, and
remember that it is the result of culpable
acknowledgements on the part of the party i'll
power i'll the county. Enough money is
paid out to keep the roads in good condi
ton; but it finds its way to the pockets of
the vampires, and no return is given for it.
The Democrat party has been in power in

the sooner we get rid of its dead carcass,
the sooner Will We experience a return of

GOING FOR CHANGERS GROCERIES. On
Saturday evening last, a couple of mem
bers of Elkton Grange procured, from the
officers of the association having those
things in charge, supply of groceries.
These they deposited in their carriage
standing in the Howard House yard not
being ready to start for home. After the
lapse Of an hour or so they returned to the
carriage, and, to their dismay discovered
that their groceries had disappeared. They
strongly suspected man they found in the
neighborhood of the vehicle of the theft,
but they were without evidence of his guilt,
and could not hold him. With as good
grace as possible, they resigned themselves
to their loss, and went for fresh supply.
