The May Jabbed her Jlbboom through LaDue's house on the dock In the way of a gentle announcement of her pres ence, at the same time breaking her martingale and carrying away her bob stay. The Utter was then caught In the current and was swung around Into the piling at the dock, and before she could be released It was necescsary to saw off the tops of two piles.

Judge Cray yesterday returned from thii giKMl roods convention held In Port land, lie ivKtis that alsmt thirty i county JihIk ami commissioners were i present. The aim of the convention was to cut dow n county exis-nse and Inau i gurate a movement In the Interest of 1 K1 roads. Plans were considered for j the building of county ronds In this "late In the same manner as has Wen successfully done In the East. The a:t'n year payment plan upon bonds is sui-d by the district In which ronds ure constructed, seems to be the most feas ible and generally approved. The great question now before this state Is w heth er to struggle along In the mud as In the past and at the end of ten years have no roads, or whether to take the bull by the horns and at once con struct solid roads on the ten year bond plan and thus secure the fullest devel opment of the Interior resources of the state.
