WORCESTER'S BAD FIRE.

Worcester Mass, March 6.-The most
destructive fire which ever occurred in
this city was discovered at $3.50 q cock

unloaded, however, as the local depart
ment at 6 o'clock had succeeded in con-
trolling the flames The loss will be
not less than $500

over the appointment of the wife of

looks a little as if the directors had such
poor schools that they did not want
them reported by some disinterested
party. 1t is said that one member of
the school board did not approve of the
appointment and refused to take any
further action with the board. 1t is
thought he will resign. The appoint

ty to decide whether it will act on the

Only scientifically planned roads of
certain width Will be aided by this COM
mission. which will have, it is calcu-
lated, $430,0 annually to distribute
Such a system, if put honestly into
harness, ought to give rural New York
good roads enough to rejoice the cy-
clists and put dollars into the pockets
of the farmers. The journal says
that 1T has been estima ted by expert
authorities that a uniform system of
good roads would add % per cent to
the taxable value of rural property
throughout" and looks to this to ward
off from the State the danger of suffer
ing from an epidemic of farm abandon
ing such as that which has afflicted the
New England States.
Certain it is that good roads are
worth paying for. and equally certain
1T is that they cannot be had without
paying for them. The system of hap
hazard road work laXly applied with
out any definite purpose, win not pro-
vide the farmers of the country with
smooth, firm and permanent roadWays
on which ito draw the produce to mar
ket. Being farmers, and accustomed to
the ways of ma atule, they do not expect
it. They know that a neglected field
means weeds, and that a rail here and
there Win never make a fence. The
making of a good road is quite an un
| dertaking; but if the province We're to
step in and say, We will furnish such
a share Of the expense of making you

road up to a specific Standard many
a district would jump at the chance to
! thus shorten its distance to market.
| Whether this can be done in Canada or
not, the farmers should awake to two
facts staring them in the face-first,
| that money put in good roads will bring
| them fat returns in time saved and
| longer life for their vehicles; and sec
| ondly, that the bicycle boom has ere
| ated a great desire in the cities for
| good country roads which could be
easily minted into money for expendi-

Fined SIS for Driving a Horse to Its
Death.

A few days since the 'Record-Union"
related the circumstances connected
with the arrest of VIM. Rounds on Sut-
ter Island by Officer Dan Miller of the
Humane Society on a charge Of having
driven a horse to death last week.
After being worked all day on tule
plough the horse was hitched to cart
and driven fourteen miles to a dance.
The animal fell by the roadside and died
on the way home.
Rounds was arraigned in Justice
Henry's court yesterday, where he
pleaded guilty and was fined SO for his
heartless treatment of the horse. He
paid the fine and returned to the river
ranch.
The Humane Society has it's eye on
others in that locality who are reported
to be habitually cruel to their horses,
and if they do not mend their ways
they Will be called to account.
