General Grants death had been 80 long aud %
sadly awaited that when at last the news reached
New-York 1t created no shock of SURPRISE There
were no such scenes Of excitement as followed the
announcement Of Gardeld's assassination. When
men saw the flags at half-mast they knew at once
what the gloomy signal meant "The General must be
dead" they said sadly to one another. perhaps
1t is better 1t has been hard fight for him."
But the news though not unex pected was mono the
less sad. There were few mon IN New-York who,
as they went about their daily duties, did not
feel their hearts touched by sorrow
which was real and Deep There were
few men who did not say within themselves that
The sorrow of the Nation was also their own In
dividual sorrow. The proverb which asserts that
republics are ungrateful was never moro COM

|of the bulletins. shook their heads sadly and
passed on without word; by the unfcgned sorrow
to be read in the face of each one as he beard tho
news and by all the indications which showed
that the bereavement has gone home to each heart.
TO New-Yorkers General Grant was not mere
name. associated only with battles and great
deeds, but a real person who had lived among
them and whom they had grown to like.
General Grant died at S:03 a. m; the news
reached New-York six minutes later Soon bulle-
tins began to appear in front Of the newspaper
Offices THE TRIBUNE bulletin probably one
of the most efficient means of spreading the news.
The ordinary bulletin with abstract of the news
of the day was removed. and in its place appeared
a single sentence, printed in large black letters
on piece Of white paper several feet
square and bordered with black. This
sentence told the whole story:
"GeneraI Grant is Dead"
This bulletin attracted the attention not only Of
passers. but OF people in all parts of City Hall
Park. They all came over to see what was the
cause of the unusual bulletin, as when some piece
Of startling news is told. One glance was enough

all the year, bring constant expense
Bad roads double the annual cost oil
repairs upon the farmers rolling stock
They consume his time. They wear
out his teams and often bring serious
injury to young animals. Any town
that improves it's roads and makes
them perfect, challenges adjoining
towns, and a good roadway follows in
every direction. For good roads are
so apparent over the bad ones that
argument is not needcd-and the
roads are made good. Our highway
expenses are large, and our roads are
not kept in the best of order. The
highway surveyor system can be i'm
proved upon by substituting commits
sioners Of highways in its stead. In
the former it is almost evervbody's
business, while in the latter the entire
care of the roads are under the charge
of three men. In towns where COM
missioners are elected the roads are
invariably good, and the tax no great
er than under the surveyor system.
