ROADS.
The good people of Jasper county are wise in many things. In working the roads, however, wo think there is a mistake in time nnd manner. Our citizens by petition change the location of roads so often that much valuable labor is lost. The supervisors, instead of directing the hands to work the roads in May, so 4bat they may become solid before winter, have the work done late in autumn. The fall rains turn their beautiful pike into a sea of mortar. The science of making good roads ought to be studied by all candidates for the responsible office of Supervisor. * —"Barrett’s Vegetable Hair Restorative” took the First Premium over, all competitors at the New Hampshire State Fair. It stands confessedly without a rival throughput the country, and is driving alii other preparations from the market. I Philadelphia Public Ledger.
