Seven brass bands and as many

David Eubanks's young Hero,

He deserved it.

The Martinsburg fremen deserve
much credit for the parade of We'd

| should not have noticed the
communication of another Coun-
" Jake, in the INDEPENDENT, OF
the 18th, ult, if it was not cal.
cdiated to mislead the public and
create the impression that road
surveyors rob the county treasury,
q set ct men whom / suppose for
their honesty, would compare IA
vorably with another Jake, unless
he has hair growing in the palm
of his hand which is said to be
the test of an honest man. | take
it for granted that joke knows no
more about our road laws than the
law allows him to know, or he
would not have offered those sug-
gestions. He should have known
that the Court is an executive ard
not Legislative body, and al that
the Court can do with his plan OF
working roads, is upon the peti
ton of one hundred voters to sub
NIT to the people what is known
as TIE A'ternate system of work
ing road
Jake says his plan would do away
with this thing of road survey
ors taking horse and cart on the
roads, with a boy or man to dig
and shovel all the dirt, to draw
$3.50 out of the treasury, and to
frequently do no more than to
be Il his tools out in the morning
and draw them back in TIE even
ing; and that if the supervisor
paid for that team out of his own
pocket, instead of the county
treasury, it would have to work
Here Jake displays his ignorane )
Of the road law again, for all haul
ing and labor comes out of the
District funds and tne county only
pays the compensation of the sur.
veyor. Eut the charge that sur
veyors frequently only haul their
tools out in the morning and back
in the evening, comes with bad
s race from Jake, for he says there
has been great improvement in
the roads during the last few years.
I will say to Jake, if surveyors
can greatly improve the roads by
hauling their tools back and forth
no one ought to complain, for it
shows that this is a progressive
age and that it saves great deal
of hard labor.
But the most amusing part of
Jake's communication is when he
says we're bis pan adopted itwould
not take surveyor 20 dayr, nc !.
the half of it. Any man with or
binary intelligence ought to know
that much, for in our District we
have 60 miles of roads put in half
mile sections, which would take
100 surveyors; and it is easy to
be seen that it would not take 100
surveyors as long to make silky
miles of road as it would seven
Surveyors. In conclusion I will
say to Jake to keep your head cool;
inform yourself on the subject you
write about before you attempt to
enlighten the public, and then
your suggestions may have some
weight with sensible men.

and came home rather chilly.

A NUMBER of persons visited the
carp pond of Mr.. Geo. e. Showers on
Saturday last. The water was
drawn off, and good view of the
fish was had. In November, 1851,
Mr.. Showers put 2S young carp into
his pond. They were about an inch
long when put in. When the water
was drawn off last Saturday the
pond contained thousands of carp,
ranging in size from the small min
now to fish that weighed six pounds.
1t was a sight worth seeing. Mr..
Showers gave us string of carp to
test their quality and flavor. The
fish havefew bones, and the flesh is of
fine flavor. The fish spawned in
June last, will now weigh about half
pound, and by this time next year,
will weigh about three pounds.
With the quantity of fish now in his
pond, MI. Showers will be able to
supply this market by next fall, and
keep the supply up thereafter.
