Quite an argument took place up street,
tbls p. m., between the Road Commission
ers, McIIugb and Sage. From what we
could learu, McHugU is building a good
read tbrougb our town, nod Sage Is from re
port doing the same woik. The argument
in a Boa paint was to know wbo was doing
tbls thing. Sage, of course, baring all bis
counoil under a bran new store pipe bai
near by, challenged all wltbla reach, while
Mcliugb, witt the simple rales and regiila
liens of a Road Commissioner in book form
under bis arm, endeavored to explain ac
cording le law, tbat it said road was not
repaired, either bo, tbey, er tbe township,
would have to pay lor several horses, wag
ons, Ac. Ssite, however, argued tbat he
wanted tbe money to use for . some other
roads, and a be was now in charge of the
Poor House- at Plainer, he needed elf be
con d raise. Il said there were several
women at lb poor bouse, who were well
raised and tbelr butcher bill must be paid
and il tbey could not have enough to ea'
le Intended to quit the Lnslners. Mr. Mc
liugb said these was over $-1,600 taxes paid
by the cltiaeos of Petroleum Centre, and
while one thousand dorses travelled over
the road at this point for every one that
passes over tbe roads spoken c-t by Mr. S.,
he fell It to be? bis duty to look to lbs town
ship Interests; and furtben. bis intention
was to carry out both Ibt wishes ol tbe peo
pie wbo bad paid lleir money, as well as
the Interests at the Towcsbip. ' Wbien
the same we rise to remark" Is sensible
conclusion to arrive at on the part of Mr,
McBugb, and one in which be will be fully
sustained by the (ax payers of Ibis precioot
who we may say (or tbe, propose to enter
into little Investigation- as to what has
become ol tbe enormous road and poor tsses
levied and collected within the last tvro or
three years. We have some fee's of Impor
tance to the taxpayers of Cornplanler town

The First Tear.
On my carting's rosy cheek
A tear, delaying, seemed to say
And would have said, if tear could speak,
"Bow shall I ever get away?"
For on tbst bright and velvet ground,
As yet untouched by time or care,
No track, no furrow could be found,
And so perforce it lingered there.
As dew drops In the shining light
Of joyous summer's golden ray
Will fade and die on rose leaf bright,
Aod sink in gladness quite away,
So gently died my dirling'a tear
By smiles and dimples chased away,'
With no more thought oTgrlel er fear
Than dewdrop has of winter day.
