A, We have been requested to Inquire as to toe maaner In wblcb tbe Road Tax of Corn planter twp. Is expended. This loquiry strikes us oertinsut and we shall Insist unon a thorough Investigation of the matter. The amount or Road Tax collected annually In Corplanter Towuabip, is about $14,000. This sum would seem sufficient to keep the several roads to wbich it should be applied in at least passable condition. Yet those who are so unfortunate as to travel on the roads In qtiestloo, fail to see any evidence of tbe judicious expenditure of the tax. The supervisors of these road need recon structing badly. We shall Insist upon the money being so expended1, as to accomplish tbe purposes for which It is assessed upon and collected from the taxpayers. Every road leading out of Oil City is In deplor ably bad condition. If tbe tax is expended upon them, tbe work is done with neither skill nor judgment. Tbe people bare a right to demand reform la the present sys tem. We shall be pleased to bear from tbe Supervisors, and will be glad to publish a detailed statement of tbe expenditures of each of tbem. Let us have light on tbe subject. Oil City Register. As far as tbe roads In- tbil 'section of the Township are concerned, tbey are nearly all In good condition. exoeDt oerhana the Sane City road, wbich stands badly in need of repairs. Tbe Supervisor and Path Mas ter, Messrs. McHugb and Armstrong, are expending tbe nubile funds la judicious manner and satisfactory to tbe tax payers we agree with the Register, however, that generally epeakioi (or the amount of mono ralsedandexpendedoat.be roads there Is the lesat to stow for It than la any other Township In tbe county. A "showing ud" of tbe uses to which tbe people's money Is put, asd a radical reform io many particu lars, would, in our opinion, be in order. Tbe latest sensation at Niagara Falls is tbe attempted suicide by throwing himself into l!:e rapid, of aa individual who says became all tbe wai Irora Enalaod with the avowed iolention of ellppioi off bis mortal coil by going oevr Niagara Falls. FInlon Wbalon.. residing in the violnitv or the Tarr Run oil territory, was brought before Justice Reynolds, a day or two ago, charged wllb violently assaulting and bat tering Mr. and- Messrs.

For over Ore years, our townsmen, Mr. M. T. Connor, bas bad charge of the switch engine at this point, and during all that time in rain or snow, fair weather or stormy bas always been found at bis post of duty. There are lew better or more faithful engineers than Mike Connor, of tbe Oil Creek Railroad. Cleaning bouse it all tbe rage amoog housekeepers at present. Weather item hot.

Why will ladies carry about tbem strong perfumes? A little cologne Is not object- lonible: but one is often bulf suffocated publio places when some woman draws forth a handkerchief saturated with some over powering sweetuess, one drop of which would be In infinitely better taste. To our minds, ladies ste, or should be. sweet enough without these foreign additions to their attractions. A New York liUer-wriier says that Josie Mansfield, tbe woman in the Fisk tragedy, bas all sorts of proposals made to ber. and receives a dozen letters a day on an average from strangers. Last week brought bet a proposition from a man in Montreal to atari on a lecturing lour through Europe, be to turnieo the means. By the same mail came a letfcr from St. Louis, from a man who de scribes himself as a wealthy and influential citizen, offering ber a beautiful villa near that city at a moderate rent, unties thesalr ubrlous climate and lovely eurrojndiniri. and saying It will form a sweet resting place during tbe summer to recuperate her energies.
