to it, at all points.
9TH. Because more people live close to
the Aldino route, between Churchville
and Worthington's Corner, than live
close to the road from Churclville to
Level. But, think all that should be
said, in favor of the Level route has not
been said.
fit is made by way of Level, a large
number of people who live in the region
of Stafford and Rock Run would have
three miles of turnpike, from Level to
Churchvillc, which they will not have if
the road is made by way of Aldino, vet,

Personally, would like best to have it
by way of Level, but the interests of the

making it by the way of Aldino, | feel

METHODIST PREACHERS REPLY.

The Methodist Preachers meeting,
which was held in Baltimore on Monday
morning, sent reply to the Police Board
in answer to their communication which
has heretofore been published in these
columns. Considerable time was spent
in discussing the propriety ofmaking any
reply and several prominent clergymerl
seemed to think that the matter should
be dropped. The question was put to
vote, however, and it was decided to
make an answer.
The reply is written at length and con-

A Bad Road.

To The I>gis:
The road from Fountain
Green to Rordley's Corner is a disgrace
to Hartford county. The hill near Mr.
John B. Wysongs tenant house is inl-
passable for a loaded wagon. The large
iron pipe between Mr. John Moores and
MIR. James Dowlings is four or five inches
above ground and is liable to be broken
off by any large team this cold weather
Opposite Hanway's gate is wretched
mud hole The attention of sub and
general supervisors has been called to
these places but without any response.
One OF the Commissioners has also passed
over the road. There are taxes collected
from farmers along this road to the
amount of $500 The money levied for
the above road is $50.
Now we think we are at least entitled
to a road in passable condition. What
is the remedy? TAXPAYER.

The Illinois theatre was crowded
to the doors last night to witness the
exhibition of the wonderful power of
vital magnetism as possessed by the
Boy Phenomenon. 1t proved but a
repetition of his many past successes,
if anything more convincing.
In speaking of this marvellous dem
onstrati2n of healing the afflicted by
the TRANSMISSION of vital magne tism
through the medium of the hands we
hardly know what to dominate the
event. whether to call it a lecture
sermon. an exhibition or an amuse-
ment: BUT. designating it by what
ever name we may. it was one aud
all, and everything conceived and
rendered With the most dramatic eff
feet. forming the NEST surprising and
unique. yet pathetic exhibition ever
given in this city.
Among the large number who were
treated upon the stage last night
were some OF our most respected and
prominent citizens. who attended out
CT mere curiosity, with no idea of
going upon the stage but when they
witnessed the startling results upon
their own friends their anxiety got
the better of their dignity and they
begged for the privilege of being
treated. with such marvellous results
that thu lame walked. the partially
blind were made to see and the deaf
to hear.
Saving that such things cannot be
done does not change the fact. They
are done, not behind closed DOORS. Hor
in the secret recess of your own
chamber, but in public, on the open
stage, before the largest audiences,
as was the case last night. when
many well-llnown citizens were re-
stored to health and happiness by a
few strokes with the hands of the
wonderful boy, who were considered
hopeless cripples and invalids for life.
OF the dozen or more eases treated
last night for various ailments all eX-
pressed themselves as greatly benefit
ted or cured. The scenes witnessed
last night can never be forgotten;
he hearty applause. mingled with
the shouts of wonder and delight
from the audience - the heartfelt
Thanksgiving. of cured patients all
these rang and resounded through
out the theatre and must be heard
and felt and seen to be appreciated,
otherwise it would be hard to believe
that such things were possible.
The office of the Boy Phenomenon
for those desiring private treatment
is at the Harper house (use ladies'
entrance. on Second avenue side)-
where those wishing TO be cured may
call during tire next 10 days from 10
a. IN. to p. III. daily, except the Sab
bath.
