 A gentleman went out hunting and while in the woods it com menced raining. Seeing hollow log, he concluded to crawl into it until the rain ceased.

 The reviewers appointed by the Honorable County Court to re-lo- cate portion of what is known as the Osborne Ferry road, leading out of town to tue north, we un- derstand have recommended, or will recommend, that the road he changed so as to quit the lane be- tween Dr. Edwards and Judge Hale's fields immediately hey ond Garland oreek, and run diagonally across the corner ot Dr. Edwards field. If such recommendation be made, we hope it will not be ado6. ted by the Court. To do 80 would shorten the road but a few yards, and put it on no better ground, and damage Dr. Edwards very considerably. Should the road be onened across Dr. Edwayds' land in that manner, we believe ne would have good ground for a damage suit against the county.
