Jacob HOOG, one of our most successful and enterprising road overseers was hard at work this week, superintending the men hauling and placing rock on the macamadized road. The work is progressing rapidly and will, at no distant day, be complete if everything remains as favorable as at present. The men who hauled rock this week have declared their willingness to do the rock hauling for free of charge if they would get the contract for hauling the gravel afterward. A promise to that effect has been given them. The bill making road tax payable in money, and providing for road working by contract, has passed the State Senate. PROBATE COURT Our new Probate Judge, Wm. H. BANTZ, is holding his first term of Court this week, and has more than the usual amount of business to transact, there being quite a large number of contested cases, as well as native business. His Honor, Judge BANTZ, bears his new honors with easy grace and dignity, and with the help of Ex-Judge John L. BOGY, who has kindly consented to assist Judge BANTZ, until he becomes better acquainted with the duties of the office, he has been enabled to steer himself safely through the intricacies of the law and to give general satisfaction to all parties having business with the court. John KERTZ of Bloomsdale notifies his friends and acquaintances that his fine black stallion "Andy Johnson" (16 1/2 hands) and Jack "Bonaparte" (14 1/2 hands and also black) will stand at his place in Bloomsdale from the 1st of April. Both animals are lively, strong and well-built and excellent draft animals. Single leap $2, payable after service is rendered; season $4, payable at the end of the season: to ensure colt $6, payable when the fact is ascertained, or the mare sold, traded or otherwise disposed of. As Senator YANCEY's bill for the punishment of editors describing prize-fights has not become law, we venture tomention that a grand game of fisticuffs came off on Third Street below Merchant last week between -- well, between Bismark and Napoleon III. Five rounds were had and although no claret was drawn, the two combatants stuck to it like two young game-cocks until the old lady appeared with the rolling pin which caused a general stampede. Sie transit gloria mundi!
