 We are all waiting for "Elias that is to come" and fix the roads Where he has "come" we see an improvement, but the roads in this part of the town never were so bad as now. The blow and scrapers have been en. tirely discarded, and the garden rake and fire shovel have taken their place, which accounts for the number of stone and holes in the cen. tre of the most travelled highways.

As I travel northward. noun ting now and then small hillock, the landscape ) seems to break forth upon a sort of broken wilderness; here the little village of A. can be seen, nestled near the foot of the hill Any one that has never ridden over this hill top can farm but the slightest ldea ofits wild } and barren look.
