The country roada in New Castle Hundred are a disgrace to a civil ized coiuncuuity and a burning shame when it is taken into (-•ration the thousands ot dollars that have been spent on them by the tax -dd payers.

At the cau cus of the Republican members of the Trustees of the Poor, held on Wednesday afternoon at Farnhurst it was hard to tell what would be done. The scene reminded us ot the night before the Legislature met in Dover. Not tor years had there been witnessed such a mighty gathering of the clans as assem bled at Farnhurstyesterday. Not withstanding it was a stormy 'day, and the country roads almost im passable. every member was pres ent trom the rural districts. There were between 50 and 60 persons present, nearly every one having some candidate, whose chances they wished to advance for the seven positions at the dis posal of the Hoard of Trustees. The b : ggest fight was tor Superin - tendent ot the Almshouse, and some tall wire pulling was done to but little purpose, if we have been cor rectly informed.
