Tho New York Agriculturalist thinks that tho surest way to havo good country roarla is to break up altogether tho present systora of having tlieio worked by districts, and by tho inhabitants. They may bo worked by contract, or by a good practical man who has some knowledge of surveying and engineering, and who may bo employed upon a good salary by the town, furnished labor, teams, tools, etc. This plan works well. Next to having good roads it is desirable to havo pleasant ones. There is cortaiuly great pleasure to most people in the mere driving along upon a. fine, hard, well-graded road, froo from stones, wot spots, and sandy stretches. But to almost every one tho pleasuro is greatly enhanced by tho grass and brooks, the woods and trees of all sorts nlong tho highway, to say nothing of tho views near at hand, nor of tho distant prospects. Country roads aro not used for pleasnrc-riding a groat deal, except in the neighborhood of largo towns; nevertheless, though ever so much inclined not to sacrifice utility to boauty, we most mildly protest against these long, straight stretches of bighwaj-, which always aro as monotonous and dreary a3 tho character of the country will allow. It roquiros but" a very' slight accommodation of tho road to tho natural levels of even as flat a pioco of prairie as ono can readily find, to givo just crooks enough to a road, On tho whole very direct, to reliovo tho tediousnoss of travel for busiuess or pleasure upon a perfectly straight road. Few aro awaro how very slightly tho distance is incroased, and how much pleasantcr tho road becomes, for having just turns enough in it to prevont raoro than perhaps one-eighth of a mile aiong tho road being in viow at any ono time. In tho distant country, where everything bends to utility, wo do not wonder that generation after generation lay out tho roads from point to point as direct as possible; but in suburban districts, whore tho object of opening new roads, is to develop building sites, and to attract dwellers in tho town to tho country, at least for the summer, ono of the great attractions being tho ability to take pleasure and relaxation in driving, it seems inexplica-blo that people should not bo contented unless they lay out now roads without a bend in them for miles and miles. Wherever such roads havo been long in use, it is found that pleasure parties always shun them, unless tho choice of the direction bo loft with tho driver. The shady, crooked roads among old farmhouses, and those through wooded swales and shady dells, aro sought out, and here ono meets tho stylish equipages of tho rich, tho old family ono-Lorso barouche with its load of happy children, well mounted riding parties, and all those who onjoy tho country for its own sake, and who drivo or rido for soma other purpose than showing off fast horses. Wo object also to very broad road3. Every road should bo broad enough for threo wagons to roll abreast, but no road should be broader than it can bo well taken care of. What is there beautiful or useful in a Woetchestor County. "Boulevard" (tho fashionable no mo now,) 100 feet wide, with a winding wagou track in the middle, or near it, and a wilderness of blackberry briers andpoko-weed for 15 or 20 feet on each side r A country road, 40 feet wide, is wide enough for use; if 50 feet wide, tho road must bo well looked after by adjoining proprietors, or it will bo lined with a thicket of underbrush and a nursery of woods. A road 60 feet wido is very handsome, if well cared for, and it appears generous, and libera!; but it is eo much of a tax to maintain it in good order that it is a risky thing to lay ono out, except in very thickly settled neighborhoods. The Cost of an Occasional Drink. Onco in a while a pensive man may bo heard to Gay:' I wish I had all tho money back that I havo spent in drinks for tho past ten jears. Not one man in twonty who, retrospectively gazing, give3 utterance to that wish, has in his mind an approximating estimate of the amount which a person of oven moderate bibulous . propensities may spend upon drink in tho epaco of ten years. Leaving wines and expensivo liqnors quito out of tho question, lot us soo what a plain cocktailist or modest imbiber of old ryo is likely to disburse on bis favorite refreshments in tho course of a year. Tako a very moderato man as a sample. Assamo that he drinks overy day one glass of alo, at ten cents, and four glasses of whisky at fif teen. That amounts to seventy cents a day, which makes four dollars and ninety cents a week. Multiply by four, aud you havo $19 00 por month, which comes to 613') 20 a year. Thus, if tho man who has carried on at this rato for ten years had all his liquor money back, his pocket would be in Hated to the tur.o of 1,352. This ir only a small boor calculation; but think of those who spend five times that sum on liquors, and roraernber that their liaraa is legion. i The counties of Boone, Callaway, Howard, Macon nnd Randolph, compose no Judicial Circuit. Each county has no or more colleges, built by private ubucriptions and individual enterprise, vhile there aro eight collogos in the five lounties. Can any Judicial Circuit in ho Stato coraparo with it ? All the ountics aro democratic in polities. i a?"A machino has been invented an iut in operation in California which, it s said, has cut, threshed, cleaned and acked tho wheat from twenty acres in en hours; with only thrco mon to work Attempt to Rescue ; Ja It will bo recollect sinoo Warren jrartiii ty, was arrested, trie; 55,000 bail commiltt jail on the ehargo of 27, 1SG4, John i Aus. was mado by forco of , night to tako tho priso-but fox tho dauntless 00 or, Mr. James II. Thorto tho whole crowd of armc attempt would havo provi Tho jailor's residence jail, a stono building in the court house. About 2 o do day night Mr. Thornton was 1 by a crowd of men iu his yard . his house, the windows of wlu up. They demanded tho keys jail and tho release of Martin. , Thornton at onco arose, and gettin navy revolver, tho only loaded wcat ill tho houso, ho warned them that an-atten.pt to carry out their object wouh result in somo oi thorn getting hurt. Taking position in tho door leading from tho family room into tho hall, very soon a plungo was mado against tho front hall door with a rail, to forco it, whereupon the door Hew open and the form of a man foil in tho doorway. Mr. Thornton at onco fired, which was returned by tho assailants from without who numbered from twelve to twenty persons. About fifty shots wcro fired, riddling tho glass in ono of tho upper windows aud piercing tho houso in many places about the hall door. Mr. Thornton discharged all tho shots in his pistol and the wholo assailing forco skodaddled on tho doublo-quick, some on horso-baok, somo on foot, escaping from town by the northern road, leaving Mr. Thornton master of tho field. The firing, of course, occasioned groat alarm, among Mr. Thornton's family, consisting of his wife and several children; and it is wonderful some of them wore not killed or wounded. All however escaped unhurt. Strango to say, verv fow persons in town wero awakenod by tho noiso, not more than a half dozen. Mr. Thorntoa is now well prepared very warmly to receive another nocturnal visit from a similar party. Wo learn sinco tha above was in typo that about day light on tho morning after the attempt at the jail, four armod men eapposod to bo a partofthoso who made a raid on tho jail stoppod at tho houso of Mr. James A. Austin (lather of John P. Austin) and threatened hirn, ordering him to leave tho county in forty-eight hours. Columbia Statesman. TnE Strength of Mex, Animals and Insects. A man of thirty, weighing on an average a hundred and thirty pounds, can drag, according to Rcffnier, only a hundred and twenty pounds. The proportion of tho weight drawn to tho weight of his body is no more than as twelve to thirteen. A draught horse can exert, only for a low instants, an effort equal to about two-thinls of his own proper weight. The man, therefore, is stronger than tho horse. But, according to Plateau, tho smallest insect drags without difficulty five, six, ton, twenty times its own weight. Tho cockchafer draws fourteen times its own weight, and more. Other coleoptera aro able to put thomsclves into equilibrum with a forco of traction reaching as high aa forty-two times their own weight, lusects, therefore, when compared with tho vertebrata which wo employ as beasts of draught, have enormous muscular powor. If a horse had tho same relativo strength as a donacia, the traction it could exercise would bo equivalent to somo sixty thousand pounds. M. Plateau has also adduced evidenco of the fact that, in tho same group of insects, if you compare two insects, notably differing in weight, tho smaller and lighter will nianifoet tho strength. greater Tho Richmond (Va.) State Journal publishes a letter from Gen. B. F. Butler to a citizen of Virginia, on the subject of applying tho tost oath to members of the State Legislature. Mr. Butler Kays: "My opinion therefore would be, and in that 1 am -quito clear, that it is within the power of thegovernment,- and within tho requirements of the law of Congress, if administered in their integrity, to set aside those men who cannot -take tho tost each because of their participation in tho rebellion, and that men who did not so participate and who lost the votes of tho electors because of their adherence to tho Union, should bo admitted to their seats as being the choice of tho only mon voting, who did not prefer a traitor to tho government to a loyal man for his repre-sei'tativo." Mr. Butler adds that, in his opinion, Congress is tho only power which can remove tho nocessity of taking tho iron-clad o;ith. CSy The New York State Agricultural Society have resolved to offer at thoir next exhibition a premium of 8500 for a steam ongine th:tt shall successfully introduce cultivation by stoam, with apparatus for pulverizing tho soil at as cheap a rato as now practiced upon tho farm.
