REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
We, the undersigned, appointed
by your Honorable body to review
and mark out public road leading
from Bellevue to Durdin's ferry,
have reviewed and marked the same
as follows:
The road begins at the south east |
corner of Smiths hotel premises,
thence runs north through a ~ foot |
street left by B. F. Fort in his sale
of lots; thence north, passing along
the west fence of the Grave Yard,
and continuing due north until the
land of j. L. Lewis is reached;
thence northerly between the lands
of Lewis & Leland, and easterly be-
tween Leland & Lowry some 200
yards to south east corner of Low
RVS field; the"oe northerly along the
present neighborhood road to the
upper landing is the road we have
marked as the public road. 1t leads
from widow Walkers field easterly
across a branch and along G. w.
Durdin's field to his southeast cor
ner northerly along his fence and
continuing same direction to the
upper landing. The branch on this
last part of the road will need a
short bridge, to be built by the road
hands, some 90 feet in length.
The gulley in Bellevue will also
need a bridge, that can be built by
the road hands.

They Fade Early.

This is what traveller in Spain says:
After Spanish woman has passed the
age of thirty her beauty vanishes like
dream. The Spaniards are gallant enough
to say that women should die at that age.
They use so much powder that it dries
and hardens the skin, and to good soap
many of them are strangers. But a
young Spanish girl is an attractive object.
Give her becoming dress and place in
her hand a fan, and she becomes almost
irresistible. One cannot but marvel at
the witchery and grace the fan, thing
of paper, lace and silk, possess in her
hand. It must be an accomplishment
born with them, for the tinniest child
handles hers with equal ease. They have
as many fans as Flora McF limsy had bon
nets, for no costume is complete without
fan to match. But charming as they
are they are not highly cultivated; their
education is limited. A few of the CON-
mon branches. smattering of French
and Italian little music and dancing
finishes it. They are very INDECENT but
that is the fault of the climate. Eating,
dressing, a great deal of sleeping, walk,
going to church, little fancy-work fills
their day, the monotony of which is &C.
casionally relieved by little Irritation
that may only consist of smile, glance
and whispered word on the Alemada

Sad Story of a Communists Wife.

The Paris correspondent OF the London
DAILY Neeos says: As might be expected,
there have been Enoch Ardens among
the returned Communists, out happily
very few. When their wives read their
names in the lists published in the Jour
nails, they disappeared. A case of an op-
posite nature has been reported to me by
friend of the family in which it happen
ed. The wife in this instance was heroic
i'll her constant affection, and accomplish
ed prodigies OF energy in putting her
children to trades, setting herself up in
business and sending money to her hus-
band, who was laid low with chronic
malady. He was so altered by illness
and hardship that at the railway neither
she nor the children recognized him.
The latter went back to distant parts of
the city where they are employed, and
the wife returned home in a despairing
mood, which the spectacle, of the rejoic-
ing people around her intensified.
The amnestied husband first lost time
seeking for her in the crowd, and then
waiting to see if she would hunt him up.
He remained until six o'clock waiting in
hope that she would arrive, and then
went to look after some baggage in
which he had collection of curious
shells and stuffed animals which he
thought would please her. When at last
he got to her domicile he was shown to
her room and found the door bolted in
side. Nobody answered to the loud
knocking, and the police commissary
was sent for. Upon his ARRIVAL letter,
freshly written, was found, in which the
unfortunate woman said that she had
only loved once in her life, and that the
object of her love was her husband 1t
was evident that he was dead, and death
only could relieve her from her hear
wound. Her dead body lay on the floor.
She had committed suicide.

CASUALTIES.

A great IRE occurred recently at Rlga,
Russia, destroying forty houses and the new
government building.
At the great railroad disaster in Mi
chigan Is were killed and 81 wounded 1t is
thought none of the latter will die.
A farmer, named Wiese, was instantly
killed at Madison, Wis, October TO- by being
thrown from his wagon by runaway team.
The Cincinnati, O., marine railway
docks, three miles above the city. burned on
the night of Oct. II. The new steamer Rost-
ana, on the stocks, was also burned. Loss es-
timated at $4,000.
In regard to the cause of the late terri
BILE railroad accident in Michigan, an invest
igation has been had before a coroners Jury
composed of leading citizens of Jackson. 1t
seems from the testimony of railroad officials
and employees that Colwell, the yard master
Sawyer, the switchman, and Jones, the engin.
eer of the switch engine, are all alike respons.
ible, and that all were guilty of both bad
Judgment and the violation of the rules of the
company.
A severe and painful accident occurred
on the Michigan Central railroad, short dis
lance from Detroit, Mich, on the 18th inst
The Pacific express train, bound west, which
left Detroit forty minutes late. collided with

road at that place, telescoping the baggage
and express cars, and piling the remaining
coaches, eleven in number, on top of each
other. The first coach was 9lled with emigrants
most of whom are kiledor seriously
injured. Many occupants of other coaches
were also injured. It is supposed there are
about twenty to twenty-five passengers killed
and twenty to thirty wounded The majority
OF the number. is thought to be emigrants and
second class passengers. Physicians and
surgeons were al once summoned from
Jackson to the scene of the disaster, and O
special train carrying physicians left Detroit
at 5 A.. M. A large force of employees of the
| railroad company, together with large num-
Der of citizens of Jackson, are on the ground
extricating the bodies from the wreck. Rail
road officials and surgeons are busily engaged
among the wounded, doing everything in
their power to alleviate sufferings. Among
the injured was Mrs J. F. Pannen, of st, Paul

became very impatient with some diff
Guilty in his work, and began to pour
forth violent oaths. Just then three
horsemen in military undress, who were
riding by, paused, and one of them ask

thanked the plowman tor his answer, and
added: "My friend, l am older than
you, have many times been placed in
positions of difficulty and danger and
have always found that it did no good to

language" and with bow he rode on.
