Brick pavement for couutry roads is a luxury which will not come into general use in tliis country for many years, if ever. StilJ, a start in this direction has been made, and Illinois has the credit of taking the first step. The road is in Monmouth, Warren coumy, and will cost about$5,000amile. The brick is single course, laid on 6 inches of sand and supportrd on each side by 2}L feet of crushed stone. If it shall prove to be a success, it will probably boas good an investment as the state ever made.-
