County Roads.

The Baltimore Sun Of Tuesday contains a
most sensible editorial article on the neces-
sity for new road law for Baltimore county,
and its remarks apply with equal force to
Hartford and other counties. The Sun holds
that all questions are subordinate TO that of
public roads and demands an entire and radi-
cal change in the road system. 1t says:
"'rhe one great blot upon the county is its
roads. Next to the schools the heaviest tax
the people of the county have to pay is the
tax for roads and bridges, and year by year
the money expended on the roads has been
literally squandered tor every year the work
done upon them has to be done over again.
and on occasions of heavy and prolonged
rains has several times to be renewed The
present season the roads are in worse condi.
ton than they have ever been in before On
the levels they are washed into ruts and holes.
or are SO deep with mud as TO be almost i'm
passabe On the hills they have either been
washed into gullies or the dirt that covered
the roadways has been carried OF by the
rains, leaving exposed the loose rocks and
bOulders beneath"
This description of Baltimore county
roads, our readers must admit, will apply

The seizure of the Canadian sealing YES
sci Black Diamond in Behring's sea, by the
U. s. revenue cutter Rush, and the retalia-
tory measure Of the Canadian government
by Selling the American schooner Vidette,
created some excitement in Canada but none
in the United States. Direful predictions
were made of war between this country and
England, hut that difficulty has been ayerled.
The Rush put a prize crew of one man
aboard the Black Diamond to convey her to
port. The job was too big and he quietly
surrendered the vessel to her captain, and
about the same time the Canadians told the
captain of the Vidette he could go about his
business. The claim of the United States to
jurisdiction over Behring's sea is very vague,
not to say watery, but England is interested
in having the illegal taking of seals stopped,
and is not therefore disposed to quarrel with
us for catching her Togues

Our County Fair.

The list of Premiums and Regulations for
the 10th annual exhibition of the Hartford
County Agricultural and Mechanical Associ-
alton has been issued. We hope every
farmer and housekeeper in Hartford coun-
ty will look over its pages and select
some department in which they will com
pete for premium. The field is wide and
every member of the family should be en-
couraged to do something towards making
this sixteenth exhibition the best one ever
held by the society. The directors will do
all in their power, but their efforts will be
unavailing unless they have the cooperation
and assistance Of the farmers, their wives and
children. No farm is so poor that its occu
pants have not something in which they ex-
Gel their neighbors. This may be good
colt, COW, sheep or hog; fine vegetables or
good field crops of some kind. The house
keeper may be expert in making bread, but
ter, pies or cakes, preserves or pickles, and
specimens of her best efforts should be sent
to the fair. The young ladies OF the family
may be adopts in fancy work or in the hum
bier and more useful articles OF handiwork
which add TO the personal comfort of the
family, and specimens showing their skill
would add to the attractiyeness of the exhi-
bition. Manufacturers of machinery and
fertilizers and dealers in these indispensable
articles should also show what they have for
sale. In short everybody has something which
ought to be displayed at the fair and little
effort on the part of each would make an ex-
hibition which would make every citizen of
Hartford feel proud and exaIt the fame of our
good old county.
1t is not too soon to begin to prepare some
thing to exhibit at the fair The premiums
offered are some Incentive, but county pride
should be stronger inducement to every
one to help the fair of 1889
