Cut in Two by q Saw.

NEW YORK, February 2s.-Caroline
Bernheimer, Jewess, residing ON Hud
son steet, near Vandam, was employed
yesterday by the wife OF George Blair, a
box manufacturer, at No. 13 York street,
to do somo laundry work. Mr.. Blair re.

family are accustomed to dry their linen
on the roof Of au extension to the fac,o.

skylights. Mrs. Bernheimer was hang.
ing some linen near eme of these SKY.
lights when she suddenly tripped and
fell through the glass to the floor below,
She fell directly on circular saw in
motion, as the workmen were about. to
place piece Of plank on it. Before the
saw could be stopped it cut through the
unfortunate womap's back and spine,
almost sovering her in two. She died
instantly, and her mangled remains,
when lifted of the saw, presented most
horrible appearance. Her body was
taken to her late home. She was q
widow 35 years old and had one child.

Cotton Dethroned.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, February 27.-
Twenty leading cotton factors of this
city, embracing the principal officers of
the Cotton Exchange, publish an nd.
dress to merchants, farmers and tenants
Of the cotton belt. in which they advise
some radical changes in the manner Of
farming and doing business in the South.
The chief cause of the lack of prosperity
in the Southern States, they say, are {:
First, the present credit system, which
forces planters and tenants to paw ex.
travagant prices for supplies Hnd to rush
their crops to market In such quantities
as to break prices, often,imes below cost
of production and, second, the over
production of cotton. This they think
the keynote to tho whole situation, and
ihey strongly urge everybody interested
In Southern prosperity to discourage
planting a. large acreage of cotton this
year. Food products, they say, are what
Southern planters most need. and they
adsise, first Of all, the; raising of grain,
cattle and hcss, and give the senaindei

| ing cotton. They show that the present
price of cotton is 10 per cent. below tho
average of the past five years, and that
corn Is 38 and provisions 90 per cent.

cotton.raiser to lose largelyin TWO ways.

Road Regulations.


If it is true that the condition of
the public roads of any country
may be taken as a fair index to the
civilization of that country, we are
in sorry plight. There is not a
dscens road in the County and
fer the last month country travel,
where it has not been altogether
interrupted, has been an ineonyen
ience to the public and downright
cruelty to mules and horses. The
present system of woodworking has
kept our public highways in just
good enough condition to be satisfae-
tory to nobody in creation ; and to
devise a better system seems to re-
quire higher order of wisdom than
the average legislator has displayed.
The subject of woodworking is at
once troublesome and unpopular
and it may he that the present
system is the best for which the
people are prepared. At all events,
until some one distinguishes him.
self by deyising wise road laws, we
shonld demand better enforce
ment of the law already existing.
In the cam paign that led to our
Primary election last summer, GER
tain candidates succeeded in per
suading the people, that the duty of
the County Commissioners is mere.
ly to appoint Superintendent OF
Highways /; and that when they
have done this, they are free from
all further responsibility, 80 far as
the roads are concerned This was
a new and strange doctrine to very
many good people who had been
accustomed to look upon the Coun-
ty Commissioners as Road Commis
sioners, and nothing bat Road
Commissioners; but it went un
contradicted, and was accordingly
accepted as true. The people were
not able to see the justics of requir
ing the Superintendent to assume
all the responsibility anci do all the
work, while the County Commission
ers receive the pay, but they were
used to laws whose justice they
could not understand, SO they be
lieved and submitted.
1t is not intended here to lecture
the County Commissioners On the
subject OF their duty, for this they
are presumed to know; but it is
just that the people should know
what they have right to expect
from their public servants.
While the law authorizes the
County Commissioners 10 appoint
superintendent OF Highways, who,
in their turn, are authorized to ap
point road overseers, it expressly
provides that "The County Com
missioners shall take charge Of and
superiutend the repair of the high
ways in the County" and that "The
Superintendent shall have general
supervision of the highways and
roads in his district, under the
direction of the County Commits
sioners. This law, which is too
plain to be misunderstood, places
the responsibility where it properly
belongs, upon the County Commits
sioners; and the responsibility can
not be shifted to the Superinten
dents. Oversesrs and Superinten
dents have their duties, and they
should be held to faithful dis
charge of those dnties-always un
der the direction of the County
Commissioners
It may be true that bad weather
makes bad roads; but it must be
admitted that a little more time and
a little more attention devoted to
our roads in the simmer wopldS
make them tolerable if not<e<
