 Among those who have died since Saturday evening are Dr. r. Tprke, yohulfecr l.h5s,sfnn from Cincin- nafi, Thomae {2apham, Sam Dfeylus, 4. Bansteip, Mi5s Helen T0meney and Jesse II. Iatd. J G.

APUBLIC NussANCE.

Having had occasion to pass over tue road from tJis place to Dover anumber of times this week and last week we are not speaking at random when we apply the caption of this article to that road. We cannot imagine how the overseers escape indictment when they allow roads ill their district 10 get in the fl of that road. It being the main thoroughfare from the County Seat south, andsnot. only this, but being the main road of travel, so far as it reaches, for all the country north of Dover to the railroad, should be kept at all times in good condition. There is no reason in the world why that road should not be all excellent road at all times, for there are no bad, boggy, marShy places to contend with, and no places natur- ally so rugged or rough but that with the proper amount Of attention and labor the road-bed might be first class and it would not require any more labor, in our opinion, than the present road law authorizes overseers to require of the hands under his jurisdiction. It is not the fault of the road law that many of our roads are so bad: it is alto- setlier attributable to the trifling work that is done on the roads when hands are put upon it-throwing few shoy- els-full of dirt here and few there and eii'ectiug no permanent improve ment in the road at all. The manner in which road overscers generally put the work upon their roads, so far as our observation has extended, is labor thrown away.
 There is d good clay foundation for road-bed between here and Dover, and as we said before, the road between these points can be made iirat-rate one if the overseers and hands will do their duty. By putting some well directed labor on the worst places, and putting it on So as to do some PERMA- NEWT good, and making road-bed which will not wash out the first heavy rain; and by taking the road by sec tions this way and making it GOOD re fsrAY, we would after while have nice road. It seems to us this would h' much wiser than merely passing oFes the road and cutting few brush and throwing in few shoycis-full of dirt here andthere etfecfiug no good, until the road becomes impassable and a new one is cut out, making the road as crooked as the worm of a fence.
 Much of the cursing which is bes,ow- cd upon the road law would be more justly applied if it was bestowed upon road overseers who thus neglect theif roads,

TIE JURY sYsTE1I.

The present jury system certainly works q great hardship upon the juror. Our Circuit Courts, with dockets crowd ed with many important eases and, generally, with q still longer list or trivial cases, most.always require three weeks Court to get through, and the loss of that length of time Is almost ruinous to many men. If Court could always come at time when farmers have leisure, or if meG could always be put upon the jury who had nothing else to do and who lose nothing by the loss of their time, it would aot matter; l; but it happens most always that Court comes on just at a time when every farmers labor is worst needed at home. Often he has to leave crop in the
 field, which has eosthim a whole year 8 labor, and see it become damaged and wasted on account of his absence three weeks on jury. And a man who has nothing to do-no business of his own to employ his time--a mere loafer or warrant, as 1t were, is not fit for juror at all. Itaseerns, therefore, that there should be pfovision that no man could be required to perform more than one weeks jury service each year. This
 much time. most plen could devote to their country's good without hurting them, and they would do it cheerfully-- but when it comes to sitting on a jury
