In order to get an expression ol opinion from some of our prominent men on the important question of bow oar public roads may be improved Tbe Advance sent oat invitations to number requesting them to place their ideas before the ratepajen through our oolumu.. Thus far, though sev cral hare signified their intention ol complying, few Law actually devoted the few minutes required to favor us wilt their views. We would once anore ask these gentlemen to give as their opinions, whether favorable or antagonistic to any views which Lave been expressed through these columns. Surely no more important matter can 1 e discussed from every point of view. A gentleman scuds us tlie following clipping from an American paper, evi- dently endorsed by him,and advocating state control of the highways : "The roads which the travelled American admires in Europe are none of them built by the farmer but by the general government until the imperial ex chequer took the matter in Land 76 years ago. The roads in England were as bad as tliuy are in this -jointly if not worse. Tli great highways which cross France in all directions in ' built and inaiuUined by ti,- cen- tral government.

Browa, of PricvUle, apont a conpU of dayt last woak at the mouth of thv Nottewasaga river. Leaving Fleahorton at 6 p. PI. on aicyclea, they arrived at lb " Mouth " at 10 p. m . by way uf Stay iiur, a diatanoe of forty tuilve. The roade were poor. We nii that since our last visit there Mr. Siiiiiinerfrlt had erected a hand*vm aonuuer hotel in the beautiful grove of pines bordering the rivitr, where he wel- come* vmitira in royal ulylr. The ap- (uMiitmenUi of the hotel are nrst clau, and the attentive proprietor dow a thriving trade. Our thanks are due fur much at- tention on the part of Mr. Buramerfelt and hia good lady, which will bo warmly remembered. On Friday Capt. Train took ua fur a five-mil* ride up tin pictur- eeque NottowaMca in liinhatidetnae n'onin yacht, to the old Indian burittl ground. This ia an ancient Indian portage and camp ground at the foot of the firit rapid, and ia aomewhat historical. It WM in all probability at thu very spot that Father Chabanell waa murdered by a renegade Huron while creating the river iu the year 1640. It waa alao here that a aroall Engliah venae). which bad taken refuge in the river, waa auuken by American guns in the war of 1812-14. While inapoctin^ the crumbling aand banki we made an interenting discovery, which waa no lean than a |.art of an ancient fireplace some two to three feet below the aurface uf the mil, and two thirda torn away by crumbl- ing of the bank. Thia was built up of tonea with mortar, and among tin- atnH waa found one half of sn ordinary red brick There were aleo found the necks of two black hottlea of an antique pattern, and a much corroded piece of iron nai . The tjuerf ariaes, who could have built this hreplaoe T Was it the crewi of the sunken vessel and her consort, who built a kind of protecting fort there at the timi T It is a I .fitut i f ul apot for a pic me, and wild atrawberriea fur desert were plenti- ful at the time of our viait. Mr. Van Vlack, fiahrruian, poatmaater, merchant, etc. , ia a HUM uf ini<uiniabl idriM, and the character of the place. He ha* a theory to account for the com- parative acareity of liah in that vicinity which ii mi'omi'Jin, to nay the leant. It la that the Hah are all innrxatiooiata ! He aaya that the pickerel and other In I will follow the nfta of lu^a which are taken to the American aide, and iiw-i return. He citea the fact that upon t i.i arnval of loga in Collinuwood harrmr yickerrl are alwaya plentiful there, wltcr they arrive in the wake of lar^e rafu.mitl he aententioualy remarks th.it they fold.. the immiiirraule raft i<> the Auienoai. aide in a likf iiianinT.
