A Commend Enterprise.

We are informed that a proposition has
been made by Mr. Hiram Miller, of Philadelphia,
capitalist and contractor, to the owners OF
lands bordering upon Zachia Swamp, between
Aliens Fresh and p.int some distance above
Bryantown, looking 10 the draining and re-
claiming of the valuable lands now lying use
less in the w:lis of that stream and the morass
that lies contiguous to il between the points
mentioned. Nothing has been done in the
way Of providing or maintaining bed for
that stream like other similar creeks in this
county, since the time whereof the memory OF
man runneth not TO the contrary, and the re-
suit is that it makes its meal iering course from
side to side by morass of an average width
of about half mile. along its entire course,
the moraSs being coserered with gum and 9TH
er unproftAhle timber The result of tbs
state Of affairs is that, not only is the belt of
land included in this morass rendered usel.s
for cultivation and injurious to the health of
the adjoining country, but much valuable ar
rable lands contiguous TO the confines Of the
swamp on both side rendered comparatively
|
age. Mr.. Miller's proposition is to clear down
all the timber end growth of the morass, pro-
vide ample and strait ,hannel for the waters
of the stream, fortified on each side by subs,ant-
ial dykes, and thus bring the valuable and
mex static lands now covered 10y the marsh
TO successful cultivation. He proposes 10 in
vest the necessary capital in The work, and EN-
ploy the proper heavy machinery and appliances.
The compensation be asks is such OF the liml CT
of the mar>h as be NV be able to utilize aad a
certain proportion of the reclaimed lands to be
agreed upon between himself and the adjacent
proprietors. This is most commendsbe en-
terprise and will result in great advantages
material md sanitary to the adjacent country
S muel Cox, Esq, o Of The adjacent land
holders, has the matter in hand, and is exert
ing himself TO effect the necessary negotiations
between the contractor and the proprietors.-
We hope satisfactory arrangement will be
effected and the work be pushed 10 an early
completion. Then, perhaps, the way might be
paved TO the retaining, by similar means, Of
other valuable lands now lying useless along
the bank. of other creeks in the county.

Election Law.

As the time will be soon at hand when the
sheriff of the county is required to publish his
election notice calling attention to certain sec
tons of the law regulating the conduct of citi-
q. ms on The day of election, we take this oc-
cason of calling his attention to section OF
the law bearing upon elections which has been
heretofore overlooked, and respectfully suggest
to him the proprety of including the same in
his notice soon to be published. 1t is section
l4l of article - of the Revised Code Of 1878
and section 20 article 30 of the Code of Gene
ml Laws of 1860, and provides as follows:
f~2O If any candidate at an election to be
held under he Constitution and laws Of the
State or any other person whatever, shall at
any time before or on the dav OF any election,

At the September meeting of the Deer
Greek Farmers Club of Hartford county, Nd,
the subject for discussion was Public Roads. i"
Among other things said by the different speak
ers, Judge James D. Waters said that public
roads public property and their improve
uent is of advantage 10 every body. No matter
how attractive and deSirs bile a region may be,
unless the roads are good, property will not
command a high price as il is worth. The
roads of Hartford are being greatly improved
but it is possible to make them better still. 1t
is an admirable thing tn Il the roads seem to
be taken out of politics He advocated the use
of the patent road-scraper, propelled by horses,
as better and cheaper than the shovel and mat
took. Roads cannot be properly merdtd with
the ordinary dump Scraper, There IS A great
deal of taulthudiug about road mcnding, but
if each ore, instead of grnn, bling. would do
something to make 1Ee roads IN his section bet
ter. they wonld be greatly improved
There are many things ia these lev remarks
that might be considered with I'D vaRlage by
the people of this county, chish the fact
which is as true as gospel, that The coalition
of the roads enhances or derteriora'es the value
of property in the eyes Of s;r.n-erS- If the
people of Hartford have their roads out OF poll
tics they are particularly fortunate and until
that il done here nav expect n material
change 10 the condition of our road hels We
think that if Judge Waters resided in this
county, just now. instead OF more favored Iar-
aud grumbliug and ,ou,d not eensare oar peo-
pie for their loud and continued complaints in
this matter.
