Legislature to send special committees

ascertain whether any legislation in re-

the road boards, as at present constltu'
ted. have not the right to make good
roads, let that authority. be rested in
them at once. The country roads OF
this county are almost impossible for a
man on horseback, and hauling in ma
ny places is a simple impossibility, In
many sections Of the county, the only
material that will make good roads is
rock. We have plenty it. Let it be
put upon the roads. If road master
can only make one-half mile Of good
road IN year, let him do that and he
will have something to show for the
money paid by the people. Heretofore
every road master has been in the hab-
it Of working at the same places on his
road every year. He fills up with dirt
the hollows cut by water in the middle
of the road, and then calmly waits until
it Is washed out again when the same
work is repeated. One road master Of
unusual energy worked six miles Of road
in one day and had but a small number
Of hands. Every hand, Of course walk
ed twelve miles. The qnality can be
Judged, as in many other cases, by the
quantity. Let more rock be used snt
let the worst points OF the road be
macadamlzed.

We clip the following complimentary
notice of our former townsman, Rev. {.
r. Dieffenbacher, from the Greenyille
(Pa.) Argus.
Rev. c. r. DiefenbaCher, who has
been pastor of the Reformed Church OF
this place for l3 years past, has tender
ed his resignation as such, and on the
LIST Of April next, will remove to
Greensburg, Wsstmoreland county, and
become the pastor ola large congrega-
ton in that place, and another within
three miles. The Greensburg cOngre.
CATION was organized about the year
1888, by Father Weber, great grand
father OF the Kreps brothers OF this
place, and has been under the continu
Gus pastorate OF DR.. Hacke for So years
The venerable pastor still lives, but vii
retire frsm the active work on the in
stallation Of Rev. Dieffenbacher. Thu
congregation has about 400 communi
cants.
While we are gratlied to know that
Rev. Dietfenbacher Is to be introduced
to such an important field Of labor, il
common with his congregation ant
large circle Of friends here, we regre
that he has determined to leave US. Hi
pastorate here has been a successful one
At the last communion before he tool
charge OF the congregation there wer'
less than 20 participated. The com
municants now number from lG0 TO 10
and his congregations have been unusual
ly large. His pastoral labors here have
been Of quiet yet very effective charac
ter. The poor OF the congregation have
always found in him a friend and helper
The congregation will be fortunate /
they succeed in filling his place witt
one equally as acceptable and efficient
We understand that the congregation
very reluctantly consented to accept hi;
resignation, and now would much prefer
to cancel their consent and retain hin
at an increased salary.
