Granite, I'd Distrct.-I noticed with pleas
ure your remarks on the duty of our county road
managers. Let me cite you an instance in this
neighborhood of how the thing works. A short
time since one of our most liberal minded farmers
offered to repair the county road which passes his
place. giving his own services and those of his
four-horse team free. He proposed to haul the
stone from his grassfeld and place them in the
road provided the supervisor would give him the
road to repair; or rather he would only ask the
usual appropriation on that road to pay the hired
labor But the supervisor said he could not do
this as he wanted to give the work to another man
,oho o,oed him BILL Thus the public must suf-
fer for private gain. These facts come to me
direct from the person who made the generous
offer and he authorized me to publish them. On
this same road the water is running in both wheel
tracks for quite distance and the road is in
condition than in was before it was made a county
road. bridge or culvert on it is built of fence
rails many of them being rotten, and altogether
it is very unsafe. But complaints are useless,
the authorities being deaf to our entreaties.
The knights of Labor have an organization
here with mem bership of $50.
On Saturday night last some miscreant set fire
to the ice house of Mrs. VIM. F. Weller, of this
place, and it was entirely destroyed. BRIoE.
1.-THE charge our correspondent makes against
an attorney, whom he does not name, is very
grave one and we must decline to publish his re-
marks on that subject. If true, the aggrieved
party should seek redress through the proper
channels.-EDs. UNION.

Hard to Beat.-The Westminster Advocate
of last week says "The greatest success in cattle
feeding that has come within our knowledge has
been done by Mr.. Henry c. Cover, of Uniontown,
this county. On the 18th of last August he bought
two steers, which weighed 1870 gross. On the
21st of May, when they were sold, they were put
on the same scales, weighing 1900 pounds. This
was an increase of 705 pounds each in the nine
months they we're fed-an average of 7S5 pounds
month, and nearly % pounds a day. If any
cattle feeder in MARYLAND, Virginia or Pennsylva-
MIA has done as we'll or better should like to
hear from him. The steers we're bought for SAL
IS, and were sold for $l41.70.

The Outside Dog

4d0 OoOSioO OOSs
You may sing of your dog, your bottom dog
Or of any dog that you please;
go for the dog, the nice old dog,
That knowingly takes his ease.
And wagging his tail outside the ring,
Keeping always his bone in sight,
Cares not pin in his sound old head
For either dog in the fight.
Not his is the bone they are fighting for,
And why should my dog sail in
With nothing to gain, but certain chance
To lose his own precious skin?
There may be few, perhaps, who fail
To see it quite in this light;
But when the fur flies had rather be
The outside dog in the fight.
know there are dogs, injudicious dogs,
That think it is quite the thing
To take the part of one of the dogs,
And 60 yelping into the ring.
But care not pin what all may say
In regard to the wrong or the right,
My money goes, as well as my song,
For the dog that keeps out of the fight.

Western Run, 9th District.-Since my last
letter quite number of events have occurred that
have concerned our people. Some of our farmers
have been slow in getting their corn in, while
others finished planting in April With favor
able weather for the balance of this month, the
wheat rye and grass yield will certainly be heavy.
but low prices and an increase in the tax-rate
makes the average farmer sigh for something to
"turn up" that his honest labor may receive
greater compensation.
Some of our farmers have been selling their wool
crop while others are having it manufactured as
suits their needs The latter is wise at present
prices.

Tho va,ue of Road scraper,

The Value of Road Scrapers. Har-
ford Democrat of last week says: "Several road
scrapers have been introduced in the county, and
it has been found from experience that they mend
the roads on which they used, well, expedi-
tiously and at a minimum cost. Why not intro
duce more of them and improve more OF the roads
at decreased cost If the experience already
gained from their use is reliabie-and there is
no known reason for doubling 1.-THE only reason
that we can divine is the first cost. We are in
formed that they can be had for $40 each. One
for each voting precinct is probably as many as
would be required. Some of the precincts are
now supplied. In each of the other precincts
there are about fifty roads or parts of roads that
are given to as many road members. Those who
are familiar with the use of these scrapers say
that five miles OF road can be well mended by one
of these at the same cost that one mile can be
without them If this is true the matter of cost
should not be considered. If each district super
visor will deduct from the usual allowance to each
of these fifty sub districts two or three dollars,
sraper can be bought for each precinct, and on
the theory advanced that five miles can be mend
ed with the scraper at the cost of one without it,
the roads at the end of the year will be better
mended within the appropriation, and the scrap
ers paid for.
"The Faston Farmers Club, that is known to
be composed of intelligent and careful business
men, have given great attention to improving
their roads, and have deliberately concluded that
q road scraper will vastly improve the roads in
that precinct at diminished cost, are earnestly
asking for scraper and are willing that it shall
be paid for by deducting the price from the appro-
priation made for the roads in that precinct. The
request is q reasonable one, and the members OF
that Club are men whose judgment is entitled to
great consideration"

Narrow Escape.-Mr James R. Clark and
family, of Charles street avenue, made narrow
escape on Sunday morning last, at Queenstown
pair of spirited horses to Dayton wagon and
just after turning into the gate the horses SHE'D,
commenced lunging and were nearly beyond the
control of the driver when fortunately both the
inside ends of the singletrees snapped off, throw
ing the other ends forward and causing the traces
to drop down. Thus the horses were free from
team shot off with the neck-yoke. They were
caught before they could get out of the church
lot, and no further damage was done. The wagon
was left standing quite near to tree and the six
occupants we're not hurt Had the horses not be-
come disengaged the consequences might have
been very serious, as the church yard is full of
trees. The affair created good deal of excite
ment.
