Road to Jasper.

We believe a road is laid to the river from Orchard Grove south.— We are assured that $1,200 will do the neceessary turnpiking to make a road. A road has been laid to the river from the other side that will meet the embryo route on this side. The completion of this road will open up an immense amount of pasturing and mowing lands that would be of incalculable benefit to the stock raisers on this side of the river. It opens large settlements of thrifty neighborhoods to our merchants and artisans. It is a public improvement which would prove of material benefit if pushed to completion.— Lowell Star.
