The solitary occupant Of the city jail
walks the corridor and dreams of elyslan
fields, where the perfume of flowers scents
the air, and where grassy couches, soft as
the down from elder ducks, welcomes rest
and repose; but these visions are vague and
uncertain illusions to the mind of him who

this county. This is a tie, and leaves us
without joint representative.

A writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says
hat there is not road-making stone enough |

bird what macadamized roads would, and |
