in the year the corporation has no right
whatever to collect toll on the road,—
the condition on their part being that

that the public have no claims .whatever. The law providing for the establishment of road. corporations says :
“No fence or other obstruction shall be
erected at any toll gate by any corporation so as to prevent the highway from
being traveled over, or tocompel travel

the old road at the Town Talk, and

heavy grade and rough ‘road in order
that they might more conveniently get

gate to the Town Talk from the Race
Track, in order that every team that

than the rates of toll from Nevada to
Grass Valley? These slight inflictions
of ‘the Turapike Company are of far
less importance than the character ofthe road. If they performed their part
maintained a good road, the traveling
public could stand being forced out of
parallel roads and taxed for traveling
other toll roads. But here is where
the shoe pinches. The road all through
the, past Winter has been in a horrible
condition. Large cobble stones were
thrown into the holes and ruts until it
was a mere chance if a buggy or carriage got to Grasa Valley without burst.

came on, instead of breaking the rocks
and making a good surface, the toll

to dust in Summer and mud in Winter.

There should bea fine road between
the two towns. The county ought
either to own the toll road, have it
properly worked, or the Board of Supervisors ought to open a county road
between the two places. The expense
of opening the old county road would
not be a great deal. The entire line is
in a passable condition, that part between the Town Talk and Glenbrook
Park being far better now than the toll
road. A petition is being circulated in
this city,and the matter will be brought
before the Board at their next meeting,
aa we stated last week. Good roads
with easy grades, and lower freights,increase travel and contribute greatly to
the prosperity of a community. Let
the people demand good roads and they

“last spike,” the operator will commence a time signal, and all over’ the
continent will be heard the tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick,tick of the battery which
will, as Superintendent Charles Crocker
drives to its place the last spike, echo
the word “Done!” Done the Pacific
Railroad, the most gigantic enterprise
of the nineteenth céntury! . Completed:
the iron band that binds New York and
San Francisco in closer embrace;-andwhich brings England and the Orient
‘near together! Finished, that noble
work, which the Crockers and Huntingtons and Hopkins have so nobly
built against all opposition, aided by a
generous Republic. As, the magic
wires grow tremulous with joy at the
long -expected word—as the exultant
shock speeds from the desert sands to
the ocean, and through her mysterious
depths tothe rugged cliffs of Albion—
as the joyous tickings pulsate the electric hearts of steel with the magnificent
word, “Done,” it will be extremely
mete and fitting that all classes on the
Pacific coast should join in one pean
of rejoicing, and shout one wild hurrah
to the Pacific Railroad !
AT a recent fair in Lubeck the following notice was posted at the entrance

cross looking old fellow, who pointed

A Man’s INDUCEMENT TO MARRY.—
Although enlightened men. do not gen.
erally stop to think about the reason
why they have married, and continue
to maintain the family union, if they
will look at the subject closely, they
will find it a longing for happiness; to
build for themselves a home, in the bosom of which they may hide from the
deceit, cold heartedness and ceremony
of the world ; where nothing but love
enters, where there is no.strife, no jealousies, no heart burning’, ‘envy or gelfishness ; nobody to cheat, defame or
deceive them, but-all is love and unity.
[Dr. Buford. 2
THE New York World remarks: “In
the re-distribution of Congressmen after
and the West will gain « great number
of Representatives. After 1870, the
West, if united, will control the legis—
lation of the country, and control the
national conventions .for nominating
Presidential candidates. The West is
equitably entitled to this superior
weight now; but it can not receive the
benefit of its wonderful growth since
1860 until after the ten years are fully
up, when, by a sudden stride or leap it
will make a great advance in. political
influence.
