The varioug county roads have been exam
ined by our committee; we report the Au-
gusta road in good condition, showing proper
care on the part of the Commissioners Of that
district. We find the Louisville road in
Wretched condition. No work appears to have
been done on this road during the past season.
The former grand jury having reported this
road in bad condition. and no attention hav-
ing been paid to it since. we feel constrained
to present the Commissioners Of this road for
neglect of duty. We are pleased TO report the
Ogeechee road in fair condition, except the
causeway at the emile post, and the road be-
yond. The Middle Ground road we report in
fair order, but it is entirely too narrow for
public highway. Inc waters ROAD from mum
derbolt Toll Gate to Sacks place, appears to
be in pretty fair order, except few holes
near Lovers Lane. The bitches need clean
ing out. and the road should be widened. 1t is
too narrow for free passage, save tor one We
hicle at a time. At the farms of Mr.. Sack,
Messrs. Morgan and Lee, as also that of Mr..
Pritchard's, it is INSTRUCTED by gates.
We learn from some of these parties that
while they permit passage through their
farms this is in nQwlse a public road and can
be closed at their discretion. We suggest that
the County Commissioners and Road Com
missioners inquire into the feasibility of OPEN
ing this road as a public highway, and con-
tinuing it to or in the vicinity OF Hainers
bridge. and if fOnnd feasible we recommend
il be done at once. The causeWay between
the Morgan Lee farm and Pritchard's place is
almost impossible and should have immediate
attention. The White Bluff road appears to
be in fine order. The bridge near the old
church needs some repairs. The New Skid
away and the Montgomery roads are in good
order The Montgomery and Beaulieu road
needs some attention, especially the bridge,
which has balusters only on one side. We
concur in the recommendations OF the former
grand Jury concerning the location of the toll
gate on the White BLUM road. IL now stands
within the city limits and should pc removed
as Ear as the railroad crossing. We recon-
mend to the County Commissioners the inn
portanoe Of having neatly painted guide
boards at all the cross roads along our high

Science Simplified.

If you prick a tree it keeps very
still; no cry and no winching. But
if you prick dog it yells and jumps.
The tree has no nerves; the dog has.
This explains why the tree keeps so
still, and the dog makes so much fuss.
A nerve is white thread running
between two different parts of the
body. Its business is to carry mes
sages. You pinch the end of the
dogs tail. There are white threads
running from the end of the dogs
tail to his brain. The message sent
over these is the following:

Mortimer Daneher, aged 121 years,
died at the residence Of his son in
Derrynane, Lesseur county, Minneso-
ia. Mr.. Daneher was the last surviy-
ing brother of remarkable family,
which for downright longevity sur
passes anything in the records of mod
ern times, not only in this, but.in any
other country. Mr.. Daneher's mother
died in her 101st year, his eldest bro
ther at the age Of los years, his SEQ
ond at the age of III years, months
and 20 days, and himself soon after,
at the age Of 121 years. The father
was the shortest-lived of the family,
having died at the age Of so. Tho
combined ages Of the three brothers
reached 346 years; including the
mother, 446 years; and taking in the
father, 526 years. Mr.. Daneher has
been remarkably healthy and active
man, never having been really i'll in
his life. Lately, however, he has,
through sheer old age, been confined
more or less to his bed, but never ill;
he even got up and dressed himself
on Wednesday. The gentleman came
J from the county Glare, Ireland, and
} could speak nothing outside the Gel
, tic tongue of his ancestors. Mr.. Da-
, neher possessed the full use of all his
: faculties till the very last Elk.

A MARYLAND ESTATE.

Fred Douglass, in his autobiogra-
ohy, thus describes the management
If Maryland estate in the times of
slavery:
ssThe men and the women slaves on
Col. Lloyd's farm received as their
allowance of food eight
pounds of picked pork or their equiv
alent in fish. The pork was often
tainted and.the fish was of the poor
est quality herrings-which would
bring very little if offered for sale in
any northern market. With their
pork or fish they had one bushel Of
Indian meal, unbolted, Of which
about Is per cent. was fit only to feed
pigs. With this one pound of salt
was given, and this was the entire
monthly allowance of full grown
slave, working constantly in the open
field from morning till night, every
day in the month except Sunday, and
living on fraction more than quar-
ter Of pound Of meat per day and
less than peck of corn meal pei
week. The yearly allowance of cloth
ing consisted Of two tow-linen shirts
such as tbs coarest crash towels are
made of; two pair of trousers, one
for summer and one for winter; one
winter jacket, one pair of yarn stock
ings, and only one pair of shoes. Tn
slaves entire apparel could not hav'
, cost more than IS year.

To Headquarters in the skull:

To Headquarters in the skull:
There is an awful pinching here.
Tipendoftail
When the message reaches the brain
and is recorded and considered there
the brain sends back the following
message:
Tipendoftail, Esq.
Jerk away from the pinch, quick.
Commander-in-C Chief,
Headquarters.
The tail is jerked away and every
thing is lovely again. 1t is not the
same white thread which conveys the
pinching message that brings back
the jerking message. They look alike
but they are not alike. The one that
carries the message from the end OF
the tail to the brain is called nerve
of feeling, and the one which brings
back the message from the brain tc
the tail, commanding it to jerk, Is
called the nerve of motion.
