CHA TER XIX. - ; ' DENOUNCING THE MURDERER. Eleven o'clock] was striking from a neighboring church eteeple, when Old ‘Corkscrew left his young friend’s house. “What a mine I’ve si)rung!” ‘he thought, as he walked 'jb)rous y along the pavement; in a seventh hedven of delight. I’'ve bowled out my professional friends—l've forestalled them |all! Ha! ha! I wasn’t far out, though, about there being a child mixed up in the business; but I never suspected a.substitution. And to think of his mother—a woman|l would have canonized as g saint—that she could have lent herself to such a scheme! I was ‘going to propose marriage to her, too. Well, well; I suppose I'm an gld fool, after all.” : At this last thought Old Corkscrew shuddered. fie: He saw himself| married and settled; then discovering, all al cnte, the past history of his wife. | i He saw himself mixed up in a scandallous lawsuit, with.the scorn” and ridicule of society falling like.an avalanche on’his head. Vi t

He leaned agai‘fms’t a lamp-post, almost overwhelmed at itbe vision he had conjured up. -~ i s By this time the Daddy had arrived at the house of the examining magistrate, Monsieur Daburen, who was just upon going to bed; having left, however, orders with his servant tg admit the old man, rio matter at what hour he called. + At the sight of ‘his seclf-constituted detective, the magisttate‘ hastily put on his dressing gown, at d advanced to meet him. s e

© “Something hag happened,” he said, eagerly, “or you wouldn’t be here at this hour! "Are yaqu on| the trail? Have you got a clue?”’ | ‘[ s “Better than that!” said Old Corkscrew, smiling “and looking at the-anxious face before him with an aggravating calmness. +Out with it then; and .don’t stand grinning there like an old baboon.” Daddy Tabaret struck the clenched fist of his' right hand - into the palm of his left, : 0 “I’veigot my ma?n! I've found out the murderer of the Widow Lerouge!” =~ “«What already! It seems impossible!” “I’ve the honor of repeating to you, siry? cohtinued Daddy, #“that I have discovered the man who commited the crime at La Jonchere.” | _ / _Then, with a precision and clearness of which the magistrate would have hardly believed him capable, he told the story he had gleaned from the young lawyer that evening. j S y “And those letters I’ve told you about, I've seen. In fact, 1 don't mind telling you, I’'ve bagged one of ’em—only to verify the handwriting, mind you—only to verify the handwriting!” : ! And as he spoke',| he placed the letter on M.Daburon’s kiee.| : L . %Yes,” murmurefd the magistrate; “I think we’ve got oun man at last! The evidence - against hi}n scems as clear as the day. Crime breeds crime,and the guilt of the~ father has made an assassin.of the son!” | % §

“I’vehidden the names as yet, sir,” continued Daddy Tabardt, “because I'wanted to hear your opinion first.” - . :%oh, you can mentien them to me without”the least danger,” interrupted the magistrate: “In-whatever position in life the parties happen to be—however high they may beplaced—T have never hesitated in the course I havs to pursue.” . ¢I know ‘that, sir— [ know that! Butin the present instance th?’ happen to be very highly place.an indeed. The father, who has sacrificed his legitimate son for his illegitimate, iz fhe Count Lionel de Valcourt, and the murderer of the Widow Lerouge is the Viscount Albert<de Valcourt.” I B :

oOld Corkscrew, accustomed in theatrical language, to stage effects, had dealt out these last wn&rdu with exasperating slowness—calculating- that they would peroduce an immense impression. The effect surpassed his wildestexpectation. * M. Daburon seemed -struck as with a thunderbolt. =~ | ' He shuddered at first, then 'stood still, a statue of astonisment and horror. - Mechanically he répeated from time to time, as soon as his white lips could frame the .words, “Albeirt de Valcourt?—Albert de Valcourt?” [ . o “«Yes,” reiterated the Daddy; “the noble Vigcount—it’s him, and no mistake.” Becoming suddenly-aware of the extraordinary change iv}tl.e face of the magistrate, he approached him in alarm. “You are illl—your face is so white! What's the matter%{” ¢ o e

“Nothing—nothing: I'm quite well,” answered M. Daburon. “It was only the’ surprise—the shock. T happen to know the man you men'ion; and-—and—well, the truth is, I shov_{ld like to be alone for a short time. Go intoThe next room; there’s: a good fire there, anil lots of books, police reports, and all that sort of literature—just the thing to amuse yous” and, so saying, he pushed his old friend out of the room;. and, directly he was gone, sunk ‘into a chair, And, qbov‘ering hia face with his hands, gave way to an uncontrollable {it of sobbing. = [ o i ; e ~ CHAPTER XX. A CRUSHED HOPES ; 5 - The name’ of ?e Valcourt, mentioned unexpectedly to Monsieur Daburon by 014 Corkscrew, a.sz:kened the most painful memories in his *heart. To borrow a simile from a great Roman poet, it was like walking over lava, beneath which the ashes were 'still bumingf; for .the young magistrate had loved, butloved in vain, a young .and beautiful girl, of noble family, and it was this very Visa{ount Albert de Valcourt -who had been his“rival. s . He remembered the evening when he “had proposed td her, and “all the things ‘tHat had been.” | - : And, while he | sits dreaming, we will seize the iopportunity of describing our herote.

with the faint odors of the flowers that clustered round the fountain, when Monsieur Daburon suddenly took the young girl's hand in his. It was the first time he had ever done so, and thie touch of the soft, white skin, sent the blood rushing to i-his head. _ i “Miss de Courcy!” 'he whispered; “Clare!” e : S s ; - She started, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes, opened wide in surprise, ° “Pardon me,” he continued; “oh, par'don me! I asked your aunt first, before I ‘had the courage to ask you. One word, from your lips will decide my future happiness or misery. Clare, dear Clare! don’t repulse me—l love you!” B . Whilst he spoke, Miss de Courcy loocked at him as if she doubted her senses. But at the words “I love you!” uttered with a | concentrated passion, she withdrew her hand with a stifled cry. ; ! “You—you? But that can’t be pos~ | sible?” g Lo Had his life depended .op it, M. Dabu‘ron could not have uttered a word. . . ~ The presentiment of a great misfortune tightened the valves of his heart .as thongh they were pressed in a vice. Clare burst into tears and hid her face ‘in her hands. : : i - «Qh, whatan unhappy girl I'am!” she moaned—*“what an unhappy girl!” . “«Unhappy!” cried the young magistrate; “and I the cause!- Clare, this is unkind, for T'd yather die than bring sorrow toone, I love so dearly. What have I done? Tell me; don’t tnrn your head away. You’ll break my heart if you keep me longer in suspense!”. / ‘He sunk on his knees in the dust and gravel of the arbor, and tried to clasp her hands in his; but she pushed him back with a gentleness that was almost tender. . “Let me cry for a little while,” she: ‘whispered. It will do me good. Women, -are such foolish, things, crying gives them relief! You’'ll hate me perhaps for what I am going to :say—despise me, perhaps; but I declare to you most solemnly, that I .never for one moment suspected even, that I had inspired you with the feelings you have just expressed.” v Monsieur Daburon - remained on his knees, with his head bent on his breast, like a criminal expecting the final blow. -

~ “Yes,”'continued - Clare, speaking in‘a tone of bitter self-reproach, “what a detestable and heartless coquette you must think me! I understand it all now. How could'a man like you, unless possessed by a deep love, have behaved to me as you have dene,so delicate, so kind, so tender, and so- true? I was so selfish, I thought only of myse. !, and how pleasant it was to have such a sincere friend; because, you see, I have never thought of vou in any.other lif'h'r but as that of the best ‘and dearest of fathers.” This last word revealed to the unfortunate magistrate, the whole extent of the delusion under which he had beenlabormg. . { %Ie rose slowly to his! feet, with a look of pained .surprise. R { “Your father?” ’ ; |, “Yes,” she repeated, “I loved you asa father—as a brother; in fact, you represénted to me all the family I have lost—father, mother, brothers, and sisters.” . | Monsieur Daburon could hardly re- ' press‘a sob. He felt as though bis heart was breaking. ; |, “Ah, why,” continued Clare, with a growing excitement, “was the confidence I | had in you not a greater one still? I then Imight have spared you this scene which “is 80 painful.to us both—l then would {have told you that my heart is no longer _in my own keeping, and that I have given imy sole happiness on this earth to ah- | other.” .

To e soaring up to the skies, and to be suddenly dashed to the earth! } Poor Monsieur Daburon,we :shall not attempt to describe his feelings! , «You love another!” he said, after a long silence; “afid your aunt is unaware of it. He cannot be a man worthy of vour love Clare, or why isn’t he invited here?” PROT U i

“There are obatacles!” murmured the young girl, her eéyes filiing with tears,— “instmmountable obstacles! His family is rich—immensely rich; and, as ‘you know, Lam poor, His father is a very hard man, and won"i hear of the match.,” = . . «Hig fither!” cried the magistrate, with a'scorn he did not care to hide. “His father!—his family! Andhe thought of them iv ccmparigon to yom; yet he hesitates, knowing* that you love him! Ah, would I were in his place, with the whole world against me! What sacrifice cana man make for the woman he loves? Even the greatest is & joy to him! To suffer—to strive—even-to wait almost despairing, yet to hope with a constgnt devotion—that's what' T calllovel? i Fo teeein o

“And that's just how Ilove!” said Miss de Courcy, simply. : ¢ Thiz answer crushed the magistrate. He felt that his last chance was gone. Yet he experienced a sort of voluptuous agony in further torturing himself—by proving, as it were, his misery, by the intensity of his suffering. ' . “But,’pardon me;” he persisted; “how did you make his acquaintance—have opportunities of speaking with him without the knowledge of your aunt?” “I will hide nothing from you,” she said, in @ gquiet voice, and with all. the dignity that belongs to: purity, “because 1 think that you have a right to question me. I have known him for a long time. = I first met him at my.cousin’s house, the Countess de Beaumont’s; and I have since frequently met him at various balls and parties,” ; L

«He must belong tq=a very illustrious race,” remarked the magistrate, with a sneer, “lo hesitate at an alliance with such an old country family as yours!” -« - “You need not question me; I \g%ll tell youall you wish to know, withott any srostsexamnination,” she answered, with a faint smile. «I will even -tell you his name—~Count Albert de Valcourt.” - The old aunt. having by this time taken her “constitutionaly” approached ‘the arbor. : : . “Won't you comé in MMonsietr Daburon?” she’ ciied,tn ler sharp voice, that seemed to pierce the eai like some potent acid. *Won’t you come in? The chessboard 'is prepared.and I’ve a move]to mike that will puzzle even your logical nead.” : ; } ~ Startled, the magistrate rose, and an. swer»d, slammering, “I’'m at your service, Miss Lairey, 0 2 moment” oG Claiwiiold him baokiby the arm. “4l've not asked you to keep my secret,” she'said, . 3 ik : - He seized her hands with a pained ex» pression of face at the doubt her words inplied, oo i e D - 4] know T can trust you,” she said; “but I know, wlso, that from this day forward my peace of niind, ;and my happiness at ‘home, is at an end!” : Monsieur Daburon looked at her in surprise. 5 e :

Such were the events that recalled the name of de Valcourt so bitterly to the magistrate’s memory. He thougit- them buried in the sands of time; and here they were, laid bare again, like words written with sympathetic ink, that start to life the moment the paper is placed near the fire. EonbunE s e =

For some minutes, thanks to the peculiarity of * * position, he assisted, as it were, at a representation of his own life, both as actor and spectator. e His first thought, it must be owned, was one of hate, followed by a detestable feeling of satisfaction. : : : : Chance had ‘placed the man whom Clare had chosen above himself,in his power; No longer the haughty aristocrat, illustrious by his fortune and long descent, but a nobody—-the son of .a' woman of light reputation, who, to keep his stolen gosition, had committed a cowardly murer. b Here 'was a revenge, sweet and deep, which he could covergrinder the shield of the law, and . strike his énemy with the sword of justice. S * Butit was only a flash of lightning. The conscienice of the honest man revolteg,‘ and once more asserted its all-powerful voice: ? 2 1 A revulsion of feeling followed, and a project of magd: generosity usurped his former feelings. y i “Suppose I save him; and, for Clare’s gake, leave him at least life and honor? But how—how ;can it be managed? In order -to. succeed, F:should have to sup-press-the discoveries®of old ‘Corkscrew, and impose upon him the complicity of silence; and, after that follow .up a false track at the heels of thatdonkey Gevrol,‘ who is now pursuing a phantom murderer. No; it can’t be done—it cai’t be done!” And again the magistrate bent his head upon his hands.. The clock on his chim-ney-piece striking three, aroused him from ‘his reverie. . i 1

«I've forgotten Daddy Tabaret, poor old fellow; he must be sleeping like a top by this time. Tlll go and rouse him up. By feeling his pulse, I may find p,lway of getting clear of all my scruples.” ‘ e M. Daburon was mistaken. His wisitor was not asleep, but jumped up, on his entrance with a nim%;le and characteristic movement. e =

«Well,”.he cried, “I suppose you’ve been making out a warrant for the arrest of the Viscount ‘Albert de Valcouri?, The magistrate started, like a wounded man might start who sees the surgeon place his instrument case by the bedside. The time for action had arrived. - . “Gently—gently, my young old friend; don’t let us do thingsin a hurry!” ; * «But he’s guilty!—guilty, my dear sir! If he hasn’t comimitted the crime, who has? Who but he could have had the slightestinterest in the Widow Lerouge? In herevidence—heipapers—=her letters?” ‘

: “Yes; but—" ' . “ Daddy Tabaret stared at the magistrate in mute surprise; but the latter seemed lost in reflection. Suddenly he roused himself, as with an effort, and asked abruptly, “What would you d¢if you were, in my place?” : “Do!” cried the old man. “Can you| ask me such a question? Why I'di be down upon him like a thousand of bricks! like a thunderbolt, and bring him here before he had time to say Jack Robinson! I wouldn’t waste time in asking him captiotis questions; but I’d crush him at once with my certainty of his guilt, I wouldn’t allow him to open his mouth until I had finishied, and this is how I'd begin.” @J And then the keen old lynx told th magistrate how he would proceed in o. examination of the prisoner; and so farl convinced his listener, that he gave way to his reasoning, and promised that on' the morrow a warrant should ‘be issued for the arrest of the Viscount Albert de Valcourt.: o '

: CHAPTER XXI. : THE VISCOUNT AND HIS FATHER, * On the same day as the discovery of fhe crime at the village of La Jonchere; nay; at the very hour when Old Corkscrew was proving his case so clearly in the cottage of the murdered woman, Viscount Albert de Valcourt entered his carriage, to meet: his father at the railway-station. The viscount was very pale; evexg' feature drawn as by sleepless days, and apxiolts nights. : ol All the servants had remarked the changein the ‘young master. - - . «He ain’t hisself,” said the cook. “He’s off his feed, and when’a man’s off kis feed, you may be sure there’s something up.” The housemaid suggested it was. love. The valet said it was billiards. The domesticispies were still lost in conjecture, when the ‘carriage containing the| raaster.and the son ratiled into the courtel yard. , ' i The Count descended first, snd leaning on the arm of his son, ascended the flight of steps. 'lntheimmense vestibule, the men-servants stood like a hedgerow of corn-flowers and poppies. i - Their master cast at them a scrutinizing glance, . just as an officer might on his soldiers before parade. He’ seemed satisfied with their appearance, and passed on. to his apartments to change his dress. for dinner, : : Y / The first half-hour of the dinner passed in solemn silence. ; a The Count was a great feeder, on principle. He was fond of his enormous apEetite, which, to a poor man, would have een an absolute calamity. He was fond of reminding his friends of the great men who were famous for their digestive powers. Charles the Fifth ate -mountains of meat. - Louis the Fourfeenth . absorbed at ‘each repast what would have satisfied six ordinary men; and he maintained that men might almost be judged according to their digestive capacitiesj comparing them to lamps, whose brilliant light was o'nl‘f owing to the amount of oil they consumed, _ On the present occasion he eyed his son askance, pretending not to 'perceive that he was simply playing with his knife and fork, and had ha,rgly tasted a morsel upon his plate. e : e At last he broke the silence by broachs ing a disagresable ‘subject. He always adopted thece tactics W{Jen he ‘wished to: goad Albert into speaking.. - i “ Well, I hope ﬂyml’ve thought better about that love affair of yours, and have given up all thoughts of marrying a girl who’s as poor as a church mouse?” “ Are you speaking of Miss de Courey?" commenced Albert. e i “Of course of am! There ought to be no deception between us. You know I have set my face against your. marrg’ing a woman witiout money. A man of your birth should think only of his name, and how further to exalt it.” o

The conversation upon. this subject might have become interminable had not Albert, in despite of a visible restraint, kept himself ¢ outside the ring” of the discussion, answering some direct question from time to time in simple monosyllables. At last the old Count lost his {emper.. 2 : , #3sy the ‘blood of my ancestors,’ he cried at last, bringing down his hand upon the table-till the glasses rung again, T sometimes think you’re not worthy to belong to 8o great a family ag the De Valgourisi®c oo i o ' " Thers are certain conditions of the mind ‘when the least convérsation becomes extremely painful. For the last hour, Albert had been suffering-an_intolerable agony.

Your honor, mine, and the honor’ of the family, are alike implicabed{!- “ Facts, sir, facts!” interrupted the Count, harshly. “I want none, of your set speeches.” : 1 There was a pause of some moments; th&n Albert spoke, this time with a strange decision. ! . L “In your absence,sir,l have been made acquainted with some of the circumstances of your past life. I have read the whole of your: correspondence with Madame Valerie de Gerdy—" : , - The Count didn’t leave Albert the time to finish his sentence. He sprang to his feet as though stung by a serpent, overturning his chair as he did so. | . “ Not another word!” he cried in a men-: acing voice——“not another word on your peril!” { : But, ashamed seemingly of his sudden passion, he reco\vered himself almost immediately, and, lifting up his chair with en affectation’ of extreme calm, replaced it at the table. = N

There was along pause. _The father avoided his son's eyes, and spoke, this time in a firm though low voice. “Now, Albert, explain. Tell me bgv what means you have had knowledge of this correspondence.” % Bir, .I have no intention to hide anything from you. As far as I know it, you shall know all. On Sunday morning last, a young man presented himself here, declaring he was charged with a message for ‘'me of -the highest importance, which nevertheless could be delivered only to l me. This man. revealed to me the secret iOf my birth.” e : . “And you didn’t have the rascal thrust lout of our doors?”’ exclaimed the Count. “No, sir. I might have done so had he not, with a calmness that contrasted strangely with my passion, desired—nay, demanded that I should peruse a packet of letters which he placed upon the table ‘before me. ' Taking them in my hand—"’ % You threw them in the fite,of course?” interrupted the Count, leaning anxiously forward. “You had a fire in your room, I know. You can’t mcan to tell me you had such documents in your hands for a ‘moment only, and that they still exist?” } «No, sir; I entertair Ino such thought. They were placed 1 my hands in confi‘dence. Besides, I recognized your handwriting. I took the letters—" R ’ “ And you.read them?” 4 « Every one!” . ! ‘ The old Count turned ,deadly ‘pale, and, ‘reaching his hand to a decanter of brandy ‘that stood on the table, poured out a glass; but before He could raise it to his lips, the ‘door was opened abruptly, and a servant, with a frightened face, appeared upon the threshold, whilst others of his fellows }werevseenfurthex lown the corridor, their gestures denoting surprise and alarm,

' [ CHAPTER XXIL ; THE ARREST, . ;. The pale face of the old Count de Valcourt flushed crimson, as he stood facing his servants, with ~all the arrogance that belonged to the traditfons of his ancient race. : . . ) ; ’ «What’s the meaning of this?” he commenced; but before he could finish the sentence, the servant, regardless of his master’s imperious bearing, had.advanced towards Albert. . ' “ Oh, sir!” he gasped imploringly, clutching Albert by the arm as he did so, « Come with me—let me hide you! I've heard the charge—f{ly whilst there is time! They’re here! they’re here!” ; 1 -~ “They? ‘Who?” o “The police!” Albert shook off the hand of the frightmed valet, as the door of the dining-room opened, and a commissary of police enJlered, wearing his scarf and holding a R;ar in his hand. el Without glancing to the right or left, he | advazlced at once towards the young Vis- | count. § % ey

“ Your name, I believe, is Albert Lionel de Valcourt, commonly called the Viscount: de Valcourt?” Chatl “Such is my name.” e " The police officer extended his hand, pronouncing, at the same time, the usual formula, “ Viscount de Valcourt, in the name of the law, I arrest you!” “Arrest me!—and upon what charge?” “Murder!” . 7 Awakened suddenlyifrom the " painful conversation that had taken place between his father and himself, the young man’s glance wandered from face to face in utter bewilderment. It rested for a moment upon the indifferent counténance of the commissary of police, and then fixed itself upon the eager, scrutinizing visage of Old Corkscrew. - . | “Here is the warrant,” added the commissary, unfolding a paper as he spoke. ::Mechanically A%bert cast his eyes over it. i “wThe Widow Lerouge murdered!” he cried. Then added, in ao\t;%isper, but distinctly enough for his accents to be caught by the commissary of police and Old Corkscrew, “ Then lam lost!” e

Whilst the commissary of police fulfilled the usual formalities following upon an arrest, according to French jurisprudence; his agents had dispersed themselves about the Viscount’s apartments, and pro-" ceeded to the most minute examination of . all they contained. They had received orders to obey Old Corkscrew, and, under the direction of that astute individual, | rummaged the prisoner’s private papers-; pulling out. the dyawers, upsetting their | contents on the floor, and searching, with an | exquisite patience, every article of ¢lothing his wardrobe contained., It was a Si‘iht worth witnessing to. have seen old Corkscrew’s face when he called out certaij; articles, which were carefully written down in the official report. < 5?%31,5 In the passage or hall leading to the' prisonei’s’ rocms, which is profusely ornamented with old armor, was found a broken foil. This arm has a peculiarlyshaped hil{, not in use at the present day, 1t is ornamented with a count’s coronet, . with the initials « A, V,” This foil 18 snapped in the middle, and the enﬁxaa not yet been found. This prisoner, oil being questioned, professes entire ignorance as to what has'become of the missing piece. Second. In a small room, serving as a lavatory, a pair of black cloth trousers, spotted with mud, the knees smeared with a greenish hue, as from a moss-grown wall. Also a rent on the right knee, as from a nail. The aforesaid trouisers were not hung with the rest of the clothing in the waﬂ%-eb' &y hut-were thrown behind two traveling-trunks. : w . Third. In the pocket of the trousers above mentioned were found a pair of pearl-gray gloves. The palm of the righthand glo& is marked with a green stain, as from moss or fresh grass. The ends of the fingers are torn, as from seratching or climbing. The backs:of the gloves are algo frayed, as if torn by the hands of an animal, human or otherwise. . Fourth.

THE TRUE APOSTOLIC BAPTISM. _ BY DR.F.HERRING. . © * Jesus said: ~To me is given all power in heaven and on earth; therefore go.ye and teach all pgopl(?;mgl baptize them in the name of the Faftlier, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. . Trine immersion backwards is the true Apostolic baptism and typifies the death and burial of Christ, together with the three days He laid in the grave. - 5 : o 4 According to the witness, Tertul-| lian, an eminent Latin Father of the ‘Chureh, born 160 A. D., persons to be baptized, upon - going to the water, having previously in the congregation under the hand of the Elder, renounced the deyil and all his works and angels, were immersed three times, the Elder repeating the. words, baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.. Now since thege three are different in person, but one in substance, trine immersion also follows. See, treatise by Tertullian, on the Soldier’s Crown, chapter 3d, and that against Praxeas, chaptes26th. |/ ' ; . The mere sprinkling and pouring came into practice in the sixth century, having been introduced for the benefit of the sick. The single immersion was first practiced in Spain, having been instituted in that coun-| try by the council held at Toledo in the year 633 A. D. . f e - Trine immersion, however, was continued in all other\Christian.coun-' tries until in'the year 1311;A. D, ‘when the council held at szé’nfxadecided that it was immaterial whether the rites of baptism were performed by three times immersion ‘or three times sprinkling, ‘both being essentially the same, 'See, J. A. Stark’s Works on Baplism. (ks

‘ - New Road Law Needed, The Morgan County Gazette has the following sensible/ remarks concerning a new road law: i A new road law should be made by the next Legislature. We understand that one is under consideration with provisions something like the following: “All road tax to be.paid in money. The road tax to be fixed bya vote of t,;a}e people: of the respective townshipg. = The appointment of a Board of Managers, to miake plans and specifications for all road work, and to have control of all public roads; and that each township. elect, annually, two Supervisors of roads, one of each political party, who shall -let the work out by contract, in pursuance of the plans of the Managers, and pay for the same when approved by them,

}nd receive for their services a per "diem jallowance. The object of the ‘proposed change is not to increase the amount of money: appropriated to public roads, but rather to proyide. tor its judicious expenditure upon- scientific, and common: sense principles. If all the money and labor expended upon roads, in Morgan county, during the last twenty years, had been properly applied, we would now enjoy the comfort of perfect road-’ . ways. As it is at present, we have to ‘slosh through mud and mire and rattle over clods during a greater portion of the year. : . el B————— A Valuable Medical Treatise.
