When Charles Dickens visited Amer
leu In 1872, he travelled by stagecoach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, 0. De
scrlbing his experience, he wrote:
AT one time we were all thrown to-
gether in heap at the bottom OF the
coach, and mt another we were crush

the coach was lying on the tails Of the
two wheelers. and now it was rearing

Of the coach, as II they had some idea
Of getting up behind.
"A great portion OF the way was over
what is called a corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks Of trees
into marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car

the condition OF our country roads. gen

century ago except in a few wealthy
communities. There has been won

Old RuAes For Nlght ROA0SHVN'
Old Boston is wildly brought to
mind by the following excerpt from
the selectmen's minutes, dated Nov. !,
1900, containing Instructions to watch
men;
'ln going the rounds care must be
taken that the watchmen are not Noisy,
but behave themselves with strict de
corum, that they frequently give the
time OF the night aud what the wcath-
er Is with distinct but moderate
voice excepting at times when It ID
necessary to pass in silence in order to
detect and secure persons that are out
on unlawful actions.
"You and your division must en-
deayor to suppress all routs. riots and
other disorders that may be committed
in the night and secure such persons
as may be guilty, that proper steps
may be taken next morning for u
prosecution as the law directs. We alb
solutely forbid your takIng private
satisfaction or any bride TINT may be
offered you to let such go or to conceal
their ofrense from the selectmen."
