Delegate! desiring to participate wit
please notify William J. Harvey. Chairman
of tbe Committee of Arrraooementa at
Wiikeabarre, of tbe number of men who will
attend. Jobs H. Taooart,
Corresponding Secretary P. R. 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.

defendant called for a jury trial. After
bearing tbe evidence, tbe jury failed to
agree on a verdiot, and were discharged.

Why will ladies carry about tbem
strong
perfumes? A little cologne Is not

lonible: but one is often bulf suffocated

would be In infinitely better taste. To our
minds, ladies ste, or should be. sweet
enough without these foreign additions to
their attractions.
