THE ROAD LAW.
With Commeiitaries by Supervisor Scott.
Editor Union* Timi:s; 1'lease allow
iue space iit your columns tor the
mrposc of giving to the people of

aw ami how it will be operated. In
he frst place our public roads will

.uxution and every able bodied untie
;itizcu between the ages of 10 and

owns and cities except Ministers of
lie Gospel, teachers and students
ivhile actually in school, are liable to
;o road duty, and either must pay to
ho County Treasurer the sum of
\vn do!lais nr win k six* lull ilavs niuiii

)i" two dollars sliaM be paid on or by
lie 1st day of March of each year,
md if not paid by said dale ail those
vlio wish can still have the right to
>ny up to the loth of March, by payng
a penalty of oO per cent, which
,vould make the lax three dollars.
After the loth of March there is
10 further option and any one who
icglects or refuses to pay said comnutation
tax, by said dale his name
ivill be placed upon the list of delinjuonts
and he will then be fur ceil to
,vork out the six days upon the roads
tinier a contractor. 1 he roads will

melt section will be worked either by
oiling it to the lowest bidder or by
bring a competent man to supervise

Among tlio visiting clergy at our ,
recent eon vocation shoultl be mention*
e<l tiie Hcv. A. Tooincr Poitcr 1). D. (
of Charleston head stud founder of ,
the Porter Academy there, whose (
record of twenty nine years as an ,
educator of hoys is most remarkable. ,
The inception of his noble work, was ;
si ill more remarkable. The text 4,A ,
little cliild s'.iall lead tlicin" being its ,
inspiration. Dr. Dorter felt called at ,
the grave of his son Toomer, to this
noble work. 'J lien the wise unsel- (
Ii>h wife did vcrv much to sustain,
and further every move.
])f. Porter educates hoys for full ,
jiav for two hundred dollars vcarlv
or will take them on much cosier
term-: imleed, many go free, especially
Clergymans sons. No one is ask- (
ed what church he belongs to. With
the higher education many are fitted (
l"i' a college course before leaving this
good Dr's care, ami all are taught
what become:' a christian gentleman.
Dr. Porter's great desire now is to ,
place on a firmer foundation whilo |
living, this school, the loving work a#
it is of earnest prayer, and faith uns"
hounded. Jfegun toe, where ski'c#
wire dark here in S. if the PortdB >
aeademy situated on the old ArsenaLj
ground with its lease from Govern?
nieiit for ninety nine yea's by act of '<
congress, can he endowed sullicient?
lv to pay the teachers, the rest might
he secured from the host of most
liberal friends, hitherto aiding it. ?v
A very business like scheme, this ]
truly remarkable man lias devised, ,
which is to isjjiie bon \s of different
dcnoniinatiotis payable twice yearly.
Twelve of these were taken in town,
and we hope many more will he, to
gladden the heart, and strengthen
the hands of this man of faith.

"Tlio Willi Mammals of Connecticut"
was tlio title of an interesting
paper read by Judge SShcrmnn W.
Adams before tlio Connecticut Historical
society recently. ISinco prehistoric
periods tliC mammalia of the
state have included,ifj addition to the
lapd animals, seals, whales, walrus
and other water animals, making, as
had been supposed until -10 years *
ago, 55 genera and 'Jj'J spocios, but
further investigation shows (55 genera.
In prehistoric; times proboscideans
of largo si/o inhabited tlio
state, and fossil remains of tliom
nave noon lounu m Auw liritain,
Cheshire ami Stratford.
Thoanimals that never werefound
in Connecticut'were the bear, prairio
dog and opossum. Of tho tliroo species
of cats one or t.fo aro now
extinct, but one species still exists,
tho wildcat, one having boon killed
in Litchfield within a few yoars that
weighed 35 pounds and live having
been killed in Essex during tho year
18'Ju. In 1 (it) 4, 30 sh tilings a head was
offorud i'ov panthers, which killed
sheep and otherwise disturbed tho
farmers. In HS-i? tlie wolves killed
cattle to such an extent that 10 shillings
per head was oil'i red to aid in
their extinction. Jinny wolves wore
killed in the state, and they wero
hunted and killed in packs. Many
have been killed in tho stato sinco
tho episode of l'utnani's wolf den,
in some instances men having to
leave church to meet them in self doA!
lunse.

"Jr.io lor some 50 years, hat emu .Was v. i ^
