NevVADA AND Grass VALLEY Roap. We have heretofore alluded to the con. __ dition of the Nevada and Grass Valley toll read, giving some facts in regard to ite condition and managemen t,which ate familiar to those who have had oc~_ in the year the corporation has no right whatever to collect toll on the road,— the condition on their part being that pany seems to act upon the principle 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 tO go on the toll road.” _Notwithstandroad company has kept a fence across the old road at the Town Talk, and compelled the people to travel over a heavy grade and rough ‘road in order that they might more conveniently get = The law also provides: “The companies are only allowed to maintain sucgh gates and collect such toll as prescribed by the Board of Supervisors.” Turnpike Company to remove the toll gate to the Town Talk from the Race Track, in order that every team that dall road might be taxed 124 cents more 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. ing a tire. Since the good weather came on, instead of breaking the rocks and making a good surface, the toll road managers have been busily engaged in piling in loam to be reduced to dust in Summer and mud in Winter. These road owners cannot claim that ing two towns with an aggregate popalation of probably 12,900. -< large amount of freighting is.deofe over the road, and if it were a int better condition . the travel wou greater than’ it is 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 will be able to get tliem.

Iv.Mr. Reverdy Johnson has _ really requested to be allowed to retain his position in England till August, says the Alta, he must have been induced to -take-that step solely from the conviction that the festive season isnew about to commence, and that many public dinners are still within his reach: From the turn things have ’taken, it is possible for-that gentleman to appear now in the character of the great North American friend to the British lion, If he had been permitted to-have his own way, would not England be placed iy a position to get money out of the American people, instead of paying them for the ravages of the Alabama? vice of this kind ought to be rewarded with at least a three month’s round of public dinners. THE MaRyavitie Roap.—The clipper ship G. J. Jones, with 600 tons of railroad iron for the Vallejo and Marys. Ville road, arrived in San Francisco on the 19th inst. The iron tu be used on this road is English manufacture, and is known as the fish bar rail, being the samejused on the Central and Union Pacific roads.

J oe So.—A Berkshire preacher recently said: “At death all sins and deformities of mankind will be stripped from them and burned with unquenchable fire; and seemingly there will be very little left of some men.” s ACCORDING to the estimated proarene ef the railroad tunnel through the Livermore Pass, three months’ time more will be necessary for its comple' tion. ENGLAND expended £2,221,602 more than her income last year. The Abyssinia war cost her nearly ten million pounds. OF the $18,000 needed for the erection.of a monument to the late Fitz Greene Halleck, only $1,000 has yet been received. PROFITABLE.—Sugar planting has been very successful in Louisiana this season, and the crop is estimated at from 250,000 to 300,000 hogsheads. .

About twenty minutes before the time arrivés for driving. the “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 of the hall: ‘“‘The ladies in charge of the sale tents and stands will sell kisses ‘at a dollar apiece.” The gentlemen who desired to avail themselves’ of this tempting offer were conducted to 9 table presided over by a bearded and. cross looking old fellow, who pointed to.a pile ef small scented sheéts of rose colored ndte paper, to each of which he crustily informed . thé applicants one of the young ation pressed her ruby lips. The-girls greatly enjoyed the sof the gentlemen, some of were brave enough to invest rgely in the kiss. 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.

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. ‘ree i i a Tr, Mayor of Mobile recently married a colored couple.
