Public Roads.

Claiborne GUARDIAN
In several of the parishes of the
State the question Of public roads
is commanding the attention of the
police juries. There is a sentiment
in many places favoring a change in
the plan of working the public roads.
The old plan has secured in most
places very poor roads. But little
work is put on the roads and, as a
consequence. the highways are al.
most impossible for a good portion
OF the year. In view of this fact
many favor the levying a tax to
work the roads and letting them out
to contractors. This might give the
country better roads. There is one
thing certain, and that is, that the
present method of working the roads
has given us very Indifferent roads.
Tho people fail to take the interest
and to devote the time and work to
public roads which their Importance
demands. There is nothing which
speaks better for any community
than good roads, and by giving the
matter proper attention all roads
could be made good.

The Facts of the Case.

loOLESVILLE, MD.
Eoitor Sentinel I'm your issue of the 18th
instant we noticed the following paragraph
copied from the Baltimore american:
"On Monday last II man arrived in Frcde
rick With his wife sick with diphthcria, hay
ing driven thirty miles in II buggy, hoping
10 obtain the medical aid that was refused
him at his home IN Montgomery county
Such was the dread OF the dise'lsr that his
servants left him, his neighbDrs fled and
even his physicians declined their assistance
The distressed father had 10 abandon the
body of his little child, who died al the
disease, IN his deserted house, the under
taker refusing 10 bury the remains
As the attending physician ana officiating
minister in the case referred to, we desire 10
correct the unjust misrepresentation and
simply state the facts
The little child was attacked with mnlig-
nant diphthera and fingered about ten days,
during which time he received all the medi-
cal aid that could possible have been rem
dered.
The day following the death of the child
the mother was attacked with prem0nitory
symptoms of the same disease, and, at the
earnest request of her father, was taken to
Frederick, the physician reluctantly con-
senting 10 the removal.
The assistance rendered by the immediate
neighbors to the afflicted household was all
that could be reasonably expected under
similar circumstances, and, besides, we were
positively assured by members Of the family
that these attentions were gratefully appre-
ciated
The remains Of the little child were taken
to Monocacy cemetery by the undertaken of
this place, accompanied by the family ply
stefan, the officiating clergyman and Others,
and were there reverently inferred with the
usual burial service.
You were correct III asserting that our
people could not be so inhuman as the
above paragraph would represent them, and
in justice TO ourselves and to this commu-
nifty we would ask that the Americ0n cor
rect the msstatement by Publishing these
facts. b. w. WALKING, NJ. D.,

False Statement.--Thew wild and reck-
less statement which appeared in certain
daily paper of this city, in reference to in.
human treatment of neghbors in Mont
gomery county, is utterly false and without
foundation.
The facts are as follows Mr.. Geo p. Shaft,
who resides near Poolesville, in Montgomery
county, lost little boy on Saturday night
last of diphtheria, He had been sick some
eight or nine days, during which time the
family of Mr. Thos. Milford, Chas. Il. Poole
and family, Mrs Porter, Mr. BagIey and wife,
and in fact the entire neighborhood and viii
lage of Poolesville, showed every desire to
render assistance and do all in their power
for Mr.. Shaft and family. During the sick
ness DR.. Walden, residing in Poolesville,
was at the house every day, some times
twice day, and was with the child just a
few moments before he died. Mrs. Shaft,
this city, had contracted the disease, and
was quite sick on Sunday, her father in
sisted upon Mr.. Shaft bringing her to this
city without delay, which he did. Mr.. Mer
chant, the undertaken at Poolesyille, buried
the child ON Monday, Mr., Wood and Mr..
Abraham Shaft and wife, of jefferson, Rev.
Mr.. Lingentelter, Chas. Poole, DIR. Walden,
and other neighbors were present at the
burial, near Beallsvile Mr.. Geo. p. Shaft
left for Frederick on Monday, with his wife,
about one hour before the child was buried,
and reached Mr.. Ridenour's house, in this
city, about three o'clock in the afternoon.
DIR. johnson was then called to see Mrs.
Shaft, who was very sick She had every
attention from her fathers family, but died
on "Wednesday night about II O'clock. This
foul abuse of a people who have ever been
known for their generous hospitality and
ready assistance to friends and neighbors,
is piece of injustice which should be cor
rected at once. Mr.. Shaft is deeply hurt
over the publication, and states that he never
knew kinder or more thoughtful neighbors
in all his liie.-brederick Citizen, 1861 inst

DEATH OF A PHYs1CIAN.-Dr. w. d..
Pilson died on Monday last at his residence
near New Hope, of consumption. Though
young man, only thirty-three years oi
age, he had established himself firmly IN
the esteem of the people, both as physlc-
ian of skill and al gentleman of marked
purity and elevation of character.
The esteem in which DIR. Pilson was held
was evidenced on Wednesday by the large
concourse that assembled at the funeral'
which took place from Augusta church.
The funeral services were conducted Dy
Rev. Alex. Sprunt, the pastor, who deliv-
cred a solemn and forcible sermon
from the text: "Oh death, where is tiny
sting; oh grave, where is thy victory!"-
The pail bearers were DR.. j. M. Watson,
of Barterbrook, DR.. D. W. Hanger, OF
Fishersvills, DR.. G.. S. Walker. of Staun-
ton, Prof. Harris, and Messrs. ]. Fl. Craw-
ford, S. H. McCue, Alex. Mowry and Jas.
Ker. There were nine physicians present
to testify the esteem in which ne was held
by his profession. There were, besides the
pail bearers, Drs. Crawford, Bell, Showal-
ter. Warren and Stout.
The death of DIR. Pilson is the third that
has occurred in his family in the last eight
weeks. On Feb. 7th. Mrs. DR.. Hall, his
aunt, died suddenly, and on Feb. 18th, bis
mother, Mrs. Mathew Pilson, followed her
sister to the grave. DR.. Pilson was SON

END OF AN OLD SUIT.-Last week salt
of nearly twenty years standing was dec-
ded in the U. S. Supreme Court. 1t APP
pears that during the civil war in 1864,
Geo. l.. Peyton bought twenty odd slaves
from George Rives. of Albsmarle. aud for
them executed his bond for $4,000, with
VIM. Fl. Peyton Of Augusta, and W. p.
Parish as sureties.
There was, it appears from the record, a
written contract between George Rives
and George L Pe5ton that thu latter was
to paw for che negroes purchased from the
former in the currency of the day when
payment was demanded. Rives did not
make demand for payment until some
time after the war, when it was refused.
Both parties to the contract died, and sub
sequently the legal representative of Riv $
instituted suit against the administrator
of Parish in the United States Circuit
Court; and at the September term, 1873. of
said court, Judge Hugh L Bond, prasid-
ing, the jury in the case, acting under in
structions from the court. brought in a
verdict for 81 ,O00 that being the scaled
value of the bonds sued on as of January
1st, 1864, with interest at per cent. from
January 1st. 1865, less one years interest
credited thereon.
This decision being unsatisfactory to
the Plaintiff the case was carried to the
Supreme Court which affirmed the decis-
ion of the court below.

any old clothing to spare will send it to

these poor people, for they are all poor. and
while plentifully fed by the county cannot
supply tbs mselves with clothing.
