NEW ERA IN SAW MILLS.
Capt. William Kendall, Jr. of Wat
ervilIe, has recently put INTO successful
operation, an improved Circular Saw, a
dapted to mill logs of the largest s'ze'
This saw is capable Of making boards al
the astonishing rate of forty to sixty su-
perficial feet in minute, planIug them
at the same time. Those who have
witnessed the effects, are fully apprised
of its utility, in country Astounding in
pine timber, particularly as it is admira-
bly, adapted to tide waters and streams
of low heads, or may be conveniently
propelled by steam; three-tourths, at
least, of the power required in the u.s.
ual way of saving, is saved by Mr.. Ken
dalI's machine, which at the same time
makes much smoother and better boards.
About 100000 feet have already been
made, though Capt. Kendall is not pre-
pared TO make business of saving, till
several important appendages are an
nexed to the machine. Circular saws
have long been in use, yet the peculiar
construction of this saw and other parts
of the machine, and ITS application TO
heavy timber, are well worthy of pa
tent. The ardour in which he engaged,
and the skill and ingenuity with which
he has persevered in this new and useful
invention, are worthy of commentator,
aud his complete success will perpetuate
his fame and augment his usefulness.

CURIOUS LEGAL ANECDoTE.

CORAOOO LEOAL ANECDOlE. -
We do not recolect more striking
Instance than the following, OF unscrupu-
iousness (if we may use such "A word) as
surance, and Ingenuity in an advocate.
About seventy years ago the cele-
Grated "Counsellor" Costello was in
his zenith, at the Irish bar, where he
was unrivalIed for wit, acuteness, and
propensity Of brogue.--llis practice lay
considerably in the criminal Courts,
where by his ingenuity he enabled ma
ny deserving cuiprlts to eVade the well
earned punishment of the law. He was
one day summoned to Newgate in great
hurry, and in a case of great emergency.
The safe or strong box of the bank OF
Glendowr & Co. had been plundered TO
an immense amount. Suspicion had
fallen upon the deputy cashier, who
was in consequence arrested and sent 10
PRISON, inside of the walls of which he
had not been ten minutes before he was
advised by his fellow prisoner TO send
for "Counsellor'' Costello who would
if any man could, save his life. 1t was
in obedience to his summons that the
"Counsellor" repaired to Newgate.
81 am told you are committed for
purloiniug 10000 guineas, my dear ?"
said the Counsellor as he entered the
cell.

"Sir!"
"Have you the arogaun sheese?"

"Did you do the thing %
"Sir, you insult me by your suspi-
cions."
"Tnen you'll be hanged'-and the
Counsellor took his hat.
"Hold, Sir" said the prisoner-who
after little hesitation confessed that he
was able to pay the Counsellor thous-
and gulneas, If he should procure his ac-
quhlal. The bargain was struck, and
the Counsellor took his leave.
Costello Immediately repaired TO
the Grown Office, as it was then called,
in Dublin, from which his client had
been committed. The Sitting Magis-
trate was still on the Bench.
"Good-morrow, Mr.. Alderman" said
the Counsellor, as he entered, lis there
any thing new to- day-any thing stirring
in my way?"

Those thai '2ugh at good Joke, laugh
correctly those thar laugh at bad one,
laugh either foolishly or cllaT;.abIy and
those who laugh at the manner ofte,.;ng
one, are not out of the correct province
OF laughing, unless they laugh immoder-
ateiy. Those who laugh because they
see others laugh, might as well let it a.
lone; those who laugh because others
DON'T laugh, may sometimes not be
wrong, although ten times to one they
would be; those who laughs because
others cry, laugh unfeelingly, and those
VINO laugh because others cry and laugh
at The same time, laugh at the folly of
others, which is we'll enough. Those
VINO laugh at nothing, laugh nonsensical-
iy' ana those who never laugh except
at something, laugh judiciously. Those
who never laugh at all, wish 10 appear
wiser than they are, and those who are
always laughing are 100 SHY to laugh
at: Those who laugh for the purpose
OF deception, laugh wickedly; those
who laugh because they have succeeded
IN decelving, laugh villainousIy and
those who laugh because they failed OF
success sue in deceit, laugh despicably.
those who laugh for false appearance
es' laugh hypocritically; those who
laugh TO put others in good humour,
laugh merltoriously, and those who
laugh because they are good hu-
INQUIRED, laugh amiabIy. Those who
iaugh to improve their appearance,
laugh politically; those who laugh to
prevent themselves from looking ugly.

cause they can't help it, laugh natural

LAUGHING


There is much to laugh at 10
this world, at least we think so, and
there are many persons who laugh
when they should not, and many that
don't laugh when they should. Some
laugh at good joke, some laugh at a
bad one, and some laugh at the manner
of telling one. Some laugh because
they see others laugh, some because
others don't laugh, some because others
cry, and some because others cry and
laugh at the same time. Some laugh
at nothing, others never laugh excep,
at something. Some never laugh at all,
others are always laughing. Some laugh
when they wish to take in person,
some laugh after they have taken one
in, and others laugh because they failed
in taking one in. Some laugh to APP
pear good-natured, some laugh to put
others in a good nature, and some largh
because they are good-natured. Some
laugh to make themselves appear hand.
some, some laugh to keep themselves
from looking ugly, and others laugh be-
cause they can't help it. What yarie-
ty of laughers, what variety of things
TO laugh at, and what variety of. sen.
sations TO create laughterl Let US take
a short review of this laughing vocabu-
larry, and see what kind OF persons they
are, who laugh from the causes as a.

envoy there. Each of these performed
his service punctually. The letter
which the felon carried was addressed
TO Don Cardenas, Secretary of State tc
the King of Spain, and was written in
English with CrOmwell's own hand.
thanking him for the care he had taken
to perform his engagements, and &C
qualnting him that the twenty thousand
pound sterling which had been stipulat-
ed, was lodged in the bank Of Venice for
his use, and that he might draw for it
whenever he pleased. This letter, as
Cromwell had toreseen, was picked up
by the King, whose custom was to re-
pair to that pavilion every morning, to
deliberate on the affairs Of the nation,
and to read dispatches, as well as to re-
ceive the assistance of his council. The
King knowing the hand, out not Under
standing the contents, was greatly a.
Harmed, and sent Immediately for the
English agent, who read the letter TO
his Majesty, hut protested his ignorance
as to any secret intelligence between
Cardenas and his master, who, he said,
was ofsuch temper as never to in
trust second person with things of that
nature. This increased his Majesty's
aPprehensions and when the council
assembled, Cardenas was ordered to
withdraw, and the letter was produced
by the King, with an account of its con-
tents, and the manner Of finding it adj
ding that Cardenas was, indeed, the last
man that sat there, except his Majesty,
the evening before it was found. All
unanimously pronounced him a traitor :;
and his whole conduct while at the En-
gilsh court was recalled to mind, and
urged as proof of it; but his Majesty,
whose affection for him was sincere,
was unwilling to judge so rashly of him
without further evidence, and knowing
the articles of courtiers to disgrace or
supplant one another in their princess
favour, and that it might not be impossi-
bic but that some other of the council
might counterfeit such a letter, and
drop IL there with a design OF running
Cardenas, proposed TO trace the affair to
the bottom before passing sentence, by
sending to Venice to know if such a pre-
else sum was lodged in the bank there,
by whom lodged and for whose use. His
MaJesty's proposal was thought reasond-
bic, and messenger was Immediately
despatched to the Spanish minister at
Venice, to make strict inquiry into the
above particulars. The messenger re-
turned, and brought with hin, ti.o ~-:,s,
nal order, dated the same day with the
letter to Cardenas, written with the
same hand, and, to remove all suspicion,
sealed with the Protectors own SEAL
There now remained no farther doubt
Cardenas was UNANIMOUSLY degraded, and
his estate confscated; but his Majesty,
on account Of his great age and long SER
vices, thought fit to spare his life.
