From what we have seen and heard, we are salts
fed that Mr.. John S. Miller, Township Road Over
seer of Wayne Township, is giving entire satisfac
ton. From the time of his appointment by the
Trustee Of Wayne Township to that position, he has
bean vigorously engaged in the pursuit Of his du
ties, to put the roads in good condition for public
travel. Though his task is a very heavy one, he
does his work remarkably well, and the same could
not be done in any other manner, to better advan-
tage. r. S. Hinekley, Trustee Of Wayne Township,
could not have made better choice for this respon-
sible position than the one he has made in the per-
son Of John s. Miller, in whom the people have full
confidence to do the work to the fullest require
ments of the law and the satisfaction of the peo
pie of Wayne Township in general.
Moses Collipriest, Township Road Overseer Of
Centre Township, pleased to note, from our
observation, is aiming TO do his whole duty, in
putting the roads in safe, passable condition. He
has rented his farm to other parties for the present
year. and he is deyoting his whole time and atten-
ton to the roads of Centre Township.

We attended the Dramatic entertainment recently
given by the Troy Dramatic Club. The drama was
entitled THE Last Loaf" We must express our
surprise at the manner in which each one of the
young actors acted out his her part. Many other
organizations Of this kind, of five times the expert
ence, could not have done better. The entertain
nent on the part Of the actors a complsts sue
cess, and is deserving of the commendaton and
patronage of the citizens Of Troy and vicinity
Members of the Club inform us that, as their last
entertainment was not patronizsd they thought it
should have been, they do not feel safe in taking up
their time in the preparation for another play until
the people will appreciate their entertainments by
justly patronizing them. We must express with
much surprise, opinion of the very slim patron
age which was given them, at their entertainment
Either attendance or patronage was netting to
compare with the entertainment. But, as to the
reasons of this fact and why it is so, we are unable
to account for.

in by the rapid flowing waters. At Leona, all that
part of the town on the fiat bottom on the south
was flooded, the waters sweeping away the newly |
made gardens and in some instances the water |
drove the people from their houses. The sidewalk
running from the posofice to the depot was noticed
to be floating, and ready to be washed away, but |
was prevented by the people rushing on to it, and
driving stakes down, to hold it. As to the full ex
tent of the damages to property, in the different
parts of the County, by the Storm exact account
can be given.
