A correspondent has a word to sa,
In our paper to-day In regard to tht
Improvement OF the roads leading t.

Eaatter cannot be over estimated
During the past year, Notwithstanding
the general cry OF hard times, Mineral
Point has taken long stride forward.
We venture the assertion that more
money has been spent In improve.
ments In and around this city during
the past year than in any town of It's
size III the State. With the roads
leading to and from the city in good
condition, we believe that business
here would be increased more than
tWo-fold The matter OF improving
the roads between here and Linden
has been talked OF time and again and
various schemes proposed for putting
them In liL condition for travel. Thr
Linden road Is at times almost inn
passible, and people cannot DO cX.
pected to come here TO trade from any
distance west when they are compel

equally interested with Mineral Poin
and the citizens Of both towns should
At once put in operation some plan IT,
overcome tho difficulty. Trade would

Grant county were 1t not for the de
dc or lble condition of the roads fol
the last eight or nine miles leading
into the city from the west, and tn,
people there would be benefited bN
Tho advantages of good market
There ii little doubt that ut an early
day railroad Of some kind viii he run

IHaqo's Bridge Openei. .-Mayo's bridge
was opened 10 the public yesterday, to the
great delight of the First-warders and Nam
chester people generally. 1t seemed like
"old times" to see wagons and foot-pas-
sengers passing over. Although q toll
bridge, Mayo's is time-honored institu-
tion in this city as the Oldest and most direct
route to the Metropolis. Yesterday q num-
Der OF workmen were engaged in putting
on few Flushing touches, and to-day the
entire work win be completed. The bridge
has been built on even q more substantial
basis than before, and can defy even q
greater flood than that OF last November.
May it be long before the old bridge is
again destroyed, either by food or fire.
The old dollhouse has been repainted and
reftted, and looks as neat as possible. The
collectors at midnight reported that very
good days business had been done.
The public will be glad to learn that Mr..
John II. Merritt, one Of the efficient old
collectors, has been retained, and that Mr..
James w. Craig, formerly Of Manchester,
and an old Elliott Gray, who was desperate
ly wounded at Malvern Hill, has been ap-
pointed as his assistant.
Mayo's bridge has been three times de-
stroyed within the memory OF this genera
tion-April 8, 1865, burned, and re6pened
July 1st following; washed away October
ID, 1870, and re0pened April /, 1871: par
TALLY destroyed by water November %,
1877, re0pened April 8, 1873.

MURDERoUs AssAULT.-Last night about
9 O'Clock difficulty occurred at the store
of Charles L. Todd, near the New Market,
between Mr.. George Field, one Of his
clerks, and Frank Jackson, the colored
driver. The difficulty was in reference to
some trifiing matter. Fields struck the ne
gro and Jackson returned the blow. The
parties were then separated. Jackson then
seized four-pound weight and threw it,
striking Fields on the head, inficting cut
an inch and half in length, and it is
thought that the skull is fractured.
DR.. E. P. Reeve was called il and at
tended the injured man, and he was then
conveyed to his residence, No. 9l5 st. John
street. Sergeant Hall had started IN pur-
suit of the assailant Immediately after the
occurrence.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES AGAINsTA POLICE OF
F1cER.-In the City Circuit Court yesterday
suit for damages against Sergeant j. b.
Angle was brought by a colored man named
James Terrell.
Sergeant Angle gives this account OF the
occurrences leading to the said legal pro-
ceeding: ...
Last Monday night the residence OF Mr..
r. III. Meade, No. 606 Sixth street, was en-
tered by thieves and robbed. Being called
upon next morning by Mr.. Meade, visited
the place, and after getting the facts [ con-
cluded it had been done by James Terrell.
1 then, on good grounds Of suspicion,
swore out search-warrant against Terrell,
a negro driver. On making the search the
the wife OF Terrell became very insulting
to me, and I told her that she was
a very saucy woman. That night l
was arrested on warrant, and the next
morning tried at Police Court by Mr.. White
and prosecuted by counsel, and the case
was dismissed. On yesterday morning l
was sent for by the counsel, and on my re-
fusing to compromise the matter by satisfy
ing Terrelrs feelings and paying all en-
penses, / was Informed they Intended to in
stitute suit against me for $4,000 damages,
which was accordingly done and the writ
served on me for the May term OF the Cir
cult Court. =
