It lasted near a week, and finally the Jury found for H.imI Th(, j,rolnj3 nssum(.J by the Sil pervisor were as follows: Sjec. 6. of the act iu relation to Supervisor. It S. 1852 vol 1 page 1G3. provides that the hands shall be called out iu May or June to work two days. Section Ill provides, that the person may commute tor tlio labor by paying seventy-hve cents tQ lhe lreasureramenJt.j l)V lho a(.!3 of ! '53 to one dollar.

Section 11 savs The .... .- . money arising fiom these mutations and fines is subject to the order ot the Super visor tinder the regulation of the Trustees. In this case there was no such Iillld I'l the j Treasury, nor had the Trustees made any order; cons.-riuenlly lhe supervision could nol a.aw for it. Section M provides for the expenditure of money in the Supervisor's ban Is, and the same section provides , jiat ..,fe Supervisor shall in no case my- . . ' led to repair such Joghwuyti."

township.'' This is all the law Lairing on ihc case. Here is the case then: A road and bridge are to Le repaired. The Supervisor "shall in no case neglect it;" besides, a written order of the Trusiees is issued to him directing liim U repair it. So far as he is concerned, lie has no money the Trustees have not appropriated any, and he is no. supposed to know there is any, un less he has it, or it has been appropiiated. j He has nothing then, hut the labor, and he warns out the hands. One of them fails to work or commute. The law requires him to sue, and he sues. "ow will Mr. j McDonald say that Hand was right, and j the Supervisor wrong? We have no hesitancy in saying he will not. Some of the j trustees the clerk, Hand, and others, were opposed to the location of the road, did not want it opened or repaired; but the view and petition compelled the trustees to democrars. while the other officers and II;U,J republicans, and the suit on the Circuit Court.

'Take care;' said my uncle. 'It's not too late yet to give it up. I was piqued. I never give up anything,' I said, Xot even the finding of a husband, eh?' said lie. 'No, I'll ride down to the poor house and ask old Toby, the octogenarian pauper, to : have me. and you'll be forced to hire Pot Wilkes to cook your dinner.'

I cannot tell how Foothing was the graceful way of excusing my mishap. I stole a glance, under my eyelids, at the speaker; and saw that he was very handsome and gentlemanly, and about twenty-six, or several years older than myself. I had hoped that uncle would b out in the fields overlooking the men; but as we entered the gate, I saw him sitting provokingly at the open window, and by the time I had sprung to the ground, he had come out, his eyes brim full of mischief. I dared not stop, but turning to my escort, said, my uncle, sir, won't you ivalk in,' and rushed up stairs. In about half an hour, just as I had got dressed, there was a knock at my door, my uncle's knock: I could not but open. He was laughing a low, silent laugh, his portly body shaking all over with suppressed merriment. 'Ahl ready at last,' he said. I began lo despair of you, you were so long, and

I slipt past my tormentor, preferring to; a ijlfe t0 mx ,.ft Q,,e glance sufficed to f ice even my escort than to run the gaunt- con vice me that it was a large snake.
