LUMBER ON TIE hENNEBEC. Probably
there seldom, if ever has been a better run
on logs on the river than during this season.
we have been calculating the number Of logs
that have gone over Ticonic Falls here with
IN flty days. From our occasional observa-
tons, we Judge that not less than 5 logs q
minute have passed: or 200 an hour, 1900 %
day, 100000 in fifty days. 1t would be a low
estimate, to prize the logs as they are at S3
each, making their whole value $l,0S0,000.
When converted into lumber, the value will
be considerably increased. Reckoning all
that came down this year, their value when
converted into lumber cannot be much short
of $4,000, WatervHle Union.
A VETERAN OF THE Cross. The Par
isian world, says French journal, has been
suddenly excited by the appearance in the
gay metropolis of sundry missionaries from
distant lands, where they have experienced
prosecutions which strongly recommend them
to the consideration of pious and feeling souls.
Recently one of these missionaries mounted
the pulpit of Saint Vincent-d Paul, and at
the first glimpse of him, murmur of COM
passion arose from the audience. This apos-
tie of the Faith bore about him the marks of
dreadful suffering and fortunes, which he had
endured in striving to propagate the gospel
among barbarians. His visago was lean pale,
and Scared over his head rested on one
shoulder, the result Of long torture which
had bent his neck.
In replying to the interrogating regards of
the audience, he gave recital of his suffer-
ings; then uplifting his hands, they were
seen to be destitute of nails. The savages
had plucked them out to punish him for dis
turbing their idolatry
This apostle, so cruelty tried, was invited
to dine at the Tuieries. The Court we're
DESTROYS of compensatng him for his suffer-
ings, and pressed him to name what he would
have; /" Simply permission to return as soon
as possible, to the savages" was the reply.
