Right of the Johnson Re-acting Water wheel,
70 he counties of Monroe and Pike, patented
ihe 22d day OF June, A. D. 1910.
The Johnson re-aciing wheel is the best now
in use TO propel saw mill; il excels any other
wheel in The United States under a low water
head:-under head from 10 feet is suftl-
cienl 10 Gu, from 10 5000 feet in twelve hours
of inch or any other boards with ease. The
wheels require, under foot head, lao inches
of water and SO in proportion TO any other head.
Under foot head, the Saw will make from
200 10 $50 strokes per minute. The advan-
lage which those wheels have over any other
wheels is, that il requires bui four posts 10 make
the hoom or bulk head; the wheels are hung on
the crank shaft. Two wheels are what is re-
ouired for Saw mill, and the posts planked IN
side the same as pen stock. have built one
of those mills this season, on the Roaring

Stage Coach Incident.

An instance Which PROVES that incidents IN

In the company, in the conveyance alluded
to, was young man of sociable temper, afia-
BILE manners, and considerable information; his
accent was barely sufficient to discover that
English was no, his native tongue; and very
slight peculiarly in pronouncing the tn, ascer-
tanned him Dulchman. He had early enter
ed into the military life; had borne both Dutch
and French commission; had travelled much'
was master of different languages; e'inced by
his depor,men, that he was no stranger TO the
society of gentlemen. He had, however. IN
high degree, a fault too common among military
men, and TOO absurd TO find an advocate among
men of sense-he swore profanely and inces-
sanity! While The horses were changing,
gentleman, who sat on the same seat in the
coach with him, took him by the arm, and re-
quesed the favor of his company in short
walk. When they were SO far retired as not
TO be overheard the former observed, Although
have no, the honor of your acquaintance, l
know, sir, that your habits Of feeling are those
of gentleman, and that nothing can be more
repugnani 10 your wishes than giving unneces-
sary pain to any Of your company" He start
ed, and replied, "Most certainly, sir; hope |
have committed no offence Oflhat sort" "You
will pardon me for pointing out an instance IN
which YOU have not altogether avoided it,
'Sir," said the officer, 81 shall be much your
debtor for so friendly an act; for, upon honor, |
cannot conjecture in what have iransgressed."
"If YOU, sir" said the former, 'had very dear
friend, 10 whom you were under unspeakable
obligations, should yon hot be deeply wounded
by any disrespect TO him; OF even hearing his
name introduced and used with frequency oil
repetition, and a Ievily Of air incompatible with
the dignity of, or the regard due TO, his charac-
tern "Undoubiedy, and should not permit

commenced our journey, taken has name IN tam
This has given TO me and others excruclailng
