Died in Hartford.

Miss Mary Nolan, for many years re- spected and honored resident of this city, died yesterday at Mt. St. Joseph's Convent, Hart ford, whither she had gone few weeks since in the hope of shaking off the malady that ended her life Her death was not wholly unexpected, though it was hoped by her friends that the moment of dissolution was not so near and faint hope had even been cherished that her robust constitution would in time overcome the fatal disease But their hopes were blasted and the winged messenger called her at last from her bed of suffering to the realization of that eternal rest for which she had so long sighed. She was gentle and estimable Christian lady, one whose fine social qualities had endeared her to large circle of loving friends who will mourn the call that summoned her while yet in the morning of happy and peaceful life Her remains will be brought to this city for interment.

The Court Record.

D. g. Circuit Court-Judge Shipman.
 An important patent case has just been de- cided by Judge shipman in the United States Circuit Court, relating to railroad signals. The question was whether Frank L. Pope, the well known electrician, connected with the Western Union Telegraph company, or the late Thomas s. Hall, of Meriden, was the first inventor of the system of working series of signals along the line of a railroad by single battery instead of using one bat tery for every signal, as was the plan in use before 1872. MT. Pope took out his patent first, but the decision is that MT. Hall was the first inventor. and therefore that his patent prevails, though taken out two years after the other. The testimony in the case makes two good sized volumes, and it was argued last December by F. Chamberlin and | Charles E. Perkins for the plaintiffs, and Simeon E. Baldwin for the defendant the l Hall Railway Signal company of Meriden. Supreme Court of Errors.

Better Roads.
Auditing Com mittee

We are glad that n general interest is
being manifested in regard to our abom-
Unable road laws. As the law now
stands, it is all for the rich and none
for the poor. In other words, it makes
the poor men of the county keep up the
roads. But they do not keep up the
roads, and why? Because the time of
a laboring man is his money. And he
feels, when you call upon him to work
the road, that you are robbing him.
And 50 you are. He has no wagons,
perhaps no horse. He can go across
the fields on "short cut" to town. He
is not benefited by a good road. But,
who IS benefited? The property-holder
of course. His land is enhanced in val
ue by having good roads. His wagons
and horses cut-up the roads, He is es-
pecially interested In having good roads
for the transportation Of what he raises.
Hence, the Home Journal says: Levy a
tar upon real estate--let this tax 60 es-
pecially for keeping roads in good order,
and all will be well. Suppose we levy
10 cents on the one hundred dollars p
this will make tax of $50 on five
thousand dollar farm, and there are not
many men in our county who would
hare to pay this tar; but all such would
be more than recompensed by the in
creased value Of their farms, on account
Of good roads aud the saving in "wear
and tesr" Of harness, vehicles, NC.
Now, if you will calmly think over this
subject you will see that We will never
have good public roads until we abol-
ish the present ridiculous and partial
road system and tao propsry-O"7'ers for
the express pvrpose of keeping up good
roads. And, good roads enhance the
value of farms, hence the property-man
ought to be willing to pay for good
roads. This way of making hirelings
work the roads is unjust, illiberal and
unchristian. More anon.
