1 GREAT PAPER MANUFAcToRY. The ,es-
Establishment in Saugerties, IN. Y. for the
manufacture of machine paper, is probably
the most extensive in the United States.
When all the works are in operation, it will
employ about $50 persons, and is capable of
turning out $4,000 square feet of paper in
an hour. The paper is of a very superiour
quality. tits heavy, fine and even in texture,
easy of impression, and, unlike other ma
1ehine paper, cannot be torn lengthwise into
strings
LUMBER TRADE OF THE ALLEGHANv.
The Warren Gazette estimates, that if the
water be sufficiently high, $4,000, 600 feet
of boards will descend the Allegheny this
spring. This quantity he says, RATED 10
courses deep and IL feet wide, would
make raft 81 miles long one course
deep would extend $40 miles; or suppos-
ing the boards foot wide, and placing
them singly, they would extend 1920
miles, which would reach to New-Orleans,
thence to Newly York, Albany, Buffalo, and
home to Warren, and leave the -overplus
sufficient to reach from New Y ork to Lon
don. Allowing men to 100000 feet of
boards, it will require $500 men to run
them to market. At So per 1000, they
will bring 100000. Shingles, square
timber, saw-logs, tan-bark, &c. worth
100000, it is supposed, may also be sent
to market during the season by the river,
making an aggregate for lumber of $780,
O00--a sum sufficient to make steam

JEsUITs OUT-JEsUITED. Some time be-
fore the abolition of the Jesuits, gentle
man of Paris died, and left his estate to
that religious body, on condition, that on
the return of his son, who was then abroad,
the worthy fathers should give him " la
partie qati eur plairoit, whatever part they
chose. When the son came, he went
to the fathers, and received but very
small share indee,l, the wise sons of Loyola
choosing to keep the greater part to them
selves. The young gentleman consulted
his friends, and all agreed that he was
without remedy. At length barrister, to
whom he happened to mention his case,
advised him to sue the convent, and assur-
ed him that he would gain his cause. The
gentleman followed the barrister's advice,
and the suit terminated in his favour,
through Encouragement of the advocate,
who grounded his plea on this reasoning
+" Testator" has left his son that part which
the fathers should choose la partie qua
Tear ptairOit," are the express words of the
will. Now, it is plain what part they have
chosen, by what they would keep to them
selves. My client then stands on the words
ofthe will :" let me have,' says he, "the
part they have chosen, and am satisfied"

out hesitation.
DENY EVERY THING AND INSIST Upon
PROOF. Lawyer Acmoody figured at the
bar in Essex county, Mass, something like
half century ago. He had a student
named Varnum, who had just completed
his studies, was journeying to distant
town in company with his master Ac-
moody on his way observed to his student

pairing to set off from the tavern, Acmcody

joke was SO good, that Acmoody conclu-
