METHOD OF BURNING LINE WITHOUT KlLNs.
The practice of lime burners in Wales was
formerly u burn their lime in kilns, made
broad and shallow, but lately they have begun
to manufacture that article without any kiln at
all.
They place the limestonein large bodies, the
stone being broken small, and calcine these
heaps in the sameway prepared for using char
coal. To prevent the flames from bursting out
the tops and sides of these heaps turfs and
earth are placed against them, and the aperture
partially closed the heat is thus regulated and
transferred through the whole mass, and not
withslanding the increased size of the stones,
the whole becomes thoroughly calcined. AS
proof of the superior advantages that lime in
these clumps has over lime burnt in the old
method, preference is given to that burnt In
heaps. This practice also prevails in England
and Scotland Pictou Mechanic.

ALEXANDER Mcleod,

The case of this individual has produced
great excitement in our village within the past
week. 1t will be remembered, that at TIE close
of his examination before Judge Bowen, that
magistrate required him to give bail 10 the sum
of $4,000 for his appearance at the court of
General Sessions now sitting in this town.
Not being able to procure tie required sureties
at the time, he was committed to the Jail Of
this county, where he has ever since remained.
On Wednesday Of last week, he succeeded in
finding two responsible persons, Messrs. VIM.
Buell. and P. G.. H. Brotherson, who consent
ed to become his bail. The recognizances
were entered into, and he was to have been
liberated the next morning. When this be-
came known to our citizens, 1t met with gen.
eral feeling Of dsapprobation and wish was
expressed that he should remain ir custody
until the Grand Jury shoGld have an op2ortu-
nifty 10 pass on his case. meeting was con-
vened at the Court House. On learning the
state of public feeling on this subject, the sure
ties, at the request of the citizens, surrendered
! Mcleod, as they had right to do, and the
| recognlzance was cancelled. The proceed
| ngs of this meeting and the conduct of our cit
lzens through the whole affair, have been
grossly misrepresented abroad it has been sta
ted in some prints, that Mcleod was released
from custody, and that hundreds of armed men
interposed and forcibly conducted him back to
Jail. This is not true; he was not discharged
from the Jail at all. The bail have always
right to surrender their principal, and this may
be done even before he is set large. 1t is
very possible that some of the proceedings of
our citizens were not characterized by strict
regard to technicaliles, and established forms
and usages: they We're not all lawyers. Their
object was not to infict any indignity on Nc
Leod, but to secure his appearance before the
Grand Jury and on the whole, as he had but
few days longer to remain in Jail, We cannot
look upon it as case of very great hardship
on his part.
The Grand Jury take up his case to-day
If they find bill against him, he can be tried
at the next court of oyer and terniner, which
will sit on the 18th Monday in March.-Lock-
port IN. W Balance.
