OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

Senator Butler has done the State
valuable service in promoting the discus
sion Of our public road system, and has,
we think, struck the key note to the
establishment of permanently good roads
We do not agree with him in the details
of his system, but it seems to us that the
only way to establish thoroughly good
roads is 10 improve our present laws, and
supplement them with u special fund for
permanent WORK. Senator Butler pro-
poses 70 reduce the number Of davs per
sons shall be liable to road duty, and 10
collect poll-taX for road purposes. We
favor retaining the present road law and
amending it, SO rs to require the Com
missioners to call out the hands for
twelve days in each year, and require
them to work ten hours each day, with
the right to commute for wagons and
teams, where the oversecrs desire, with
penalties for not properly working.
This amount of labor could do great
deal to improve our roads In the first
place, it would be sufficient to fill up all
holes in our roads, properly drain them,
and where necessary arch them from the
center; and in the next place, there
would be many instances in which this
regular force could do considerable
amount of grading upon these roads,
thus gradually improving them, not only
in the smoothncss and hardness of their
surface, but also lesscnng the heavy,
and in many cases, unnecessary hills,
which now have to be hauled over
Such n change would more than quad
ruple the labor now done upon our roads
for usually about six days work is re.
guired, and the hands on these six days
do not average five hours per day labor
Such an increase would make II mos
pcrceptibie change for the better in the
character of our roads. There are
however, certain places in our roads
which can only be put in good order by
considerable expenditure Of money

A Broken Neck Mended.

READING, July 3l.-One of the most
remarkable cases on record came "a
light yesterday in Dover township
Edward Swartz, of that place, was out
in the woodland during q severe storm
and could find no shelter except under
the large trees. He was standing close Ia

was at its height a large limb was

he was removed to his home and physi.
clans at once summoned, who made an
examination Of the injuries sustained by
him. They were satisfied that he could
not live in that condition, and the only
hope for him was to have the break set.
The operation was n critical one. All
present expressed their belief that the
man might die and that die he would at
any rate if an operation was not per.
formed. A thorough examination was
made and it was found that the fourth
joint of the neck had been fractured.
DR.. Hay took hold Of the patients head
and Drs. Weist and Long at the neck
and shoulders and the fracture was sue.
ccssfully reduced. The patient said at
once he felt relieved md that he had
more feeling in his body, which bad

nal cord was not injured, tho patient, it
is thought, may recover. The case at.
tracts considerable attention among the
medical profession, owing to the singular
and critical nature of the injuries.

The Spots on the Sun.

The sun, ~ seen through the telescope
ut the head of the Common, is an object
of peculiar interest. Its spots have sell
dom been SO large a. they are now The
largest, including both the crater and its
tail, is estimated to be GO,O0O miles in
length, and presents the appearance of a
great wormhole in an apple. The crater
is dark, with irregular sides, and is con-
stantly extending, changing in form.
though not its character. Besides this
great spot, there are three or four others
which are on line across the diane
ter of the disk, and belong to the same
family. They have rapidly grown in
size, and the largest one is now distinctly
visible to the naked eye through smoked
glass. II is believed that these spots are
caused by electrical disturbances in the
atmosphere of the sun, which is inclosed
by masses OF hydrogen, that is of clouds
anu vapor, and that the dark spots allow
you to see down into the substance of the
body itself, which is not illuminated.
There have been times when not spot
has appeared for twenty years, or when
there has been an interval o:scTen years.
Frequently, during T.. last eight years.
there has not been spot for three
months at time. 1t is believed by
many electricians that these spots have
to do with electrical storms which affect
the earth, but the whole subject is i'm
perfectly understood. This, however,
does not withhold interest in the curious
formations which are to be seen on tho
suns disk. The spots are attracting the
attention of astronomers, and are mat.

to meet the road of the later at the line

The Cape Fear and Yudkin Valley
Railroad Company now own line OF

from the last named point to Abingdon,
Va, where through communication with
Cincinnati will be reached. Besides
they contemplate building from Edenton
to Goldsboro' in North Carolina and
thence to Fayetteville, which would put
us in an mir line between Norfolk and

will he tho shortest line from New York
