BY reference to the report Of the
doings of our county commissioners
lately published it will be seen that
several petitions have been presented to
that body and granted by them laying
out several new roads within the limits
Of chs county and viewers appointed.
This is proper and wise movement to
be made in a new county which is fast
settling up, for the reason If proper
locations be made andsuf6cient in mum
Der to subserve the convenience OF the
people before tho lands through which
they are to pass become very valuable.
the opening Of such roads can be eff.
fected with much less expense to the
county, aud with much more satisfac
ton to the people. 1t will avoid long
and expensive litigation in relation to
the opening Of roads such a. the peo-
pie need. There is nothing that is
more annoying than to attempt to travel
to given point distance Of from eight
to ten and twenty miles by reason of a
circuitous route. when with properly
opened roads the saEe point might be
reached by travelling from one half to
two-thirds Of the same distances. as is
often fouad to be the case Gin our rural
districts; again where roads are prop
etly laid out ia the first place aud do
ppt require any change. the people will
the more readily put the labor on such
roads AZ is required to make them first
class roads than they will if they are
upt satisad with their location aud are
constantly seeking to change them il
some other direction. Mismanage'

A dispatch from Keoknk, Iowa, says Il e
case of William Young, on tIial for the murder
of Lewis Spencer and his four children near
LuIny, Clarke county, Mo-, in 1877. resulted in
a verdict of not guilty. On the next afternoon
Sunday Young was married at Kahoko TO
Miss Lydia Bray OF Ohio, to whom he was
engaged before his arrest, and who has been
in the State for the past tour months assisting
him in preparing his defence. They arrived
in Keokuk Monday evening, and remained
there until Tuesday, when they left for Youngs
home, near Luray. Their movements had
been closely watched. Tuesday night, mob,
numbering IRON 100 to 30 men assembled
north of Kahoka, and was waiting there tue
next morning when the train passed. Find
ing that Young went on to his home, they fol-
lowed on horseback and in wagons, and, after
his arrival there, surrounded his house and
demanded his surrender. Young, who was
accompanied by J. c. Coffman, of Toledo,
Ohio, one OF his attorneys, refused to sur
render, and opened fire on the mob, but with
out effect. Shots were exchanged and firing
was kept up until Young was wounded.
Eight men then forced their way in the house,
took Young out and hanged him.
