There were a large number of visitors present, all* of whom seemed delighted with the ^exercises. _ The tine to agitate the road question has about passed for this season, for the same reason, we suppose; that the Arkansaw squatter gave for not covering jiis house; but as the welcome sunshine sud drying winds bring more prominently to view the unsightly chuck- holes and treacherous gullies, we may be pardoned for referring to the subject again. All that we ask of tire most skeptical is to drive a team over the t oads that lead to or from Petersburg, and take note of their condition as they pass over the worked atid unworked portions of the roads. «TEE BOYS IN BLITS.

Hog Cholera. It is observed that a good many hogs in this county are afflicted with the cholera. The agricultural department of the Government, as shown by the last report, sent out scientists to learn, if-possibl e, the cause and to prescribe a remedy; The cause it was difficult to learn, but the remedy prescribed was carbolic acid in 96 per cent, of water lhixed with the food. This remedy was found a certain cure when administered in time, but in cases allowed to run, nothing would avail. By a trial it was ascertained that the five thousandth part of a drop of the virus of cholera would inoculate a hog with the disease; and that it was contagious. Tbe Time to Ljave Tour Measure.
