I'm in for whipping Great Britain right off, with
out stopping for compliment! We must hus-
tie the British lion heels over head out of the ev-
erlasting border of this here Western Continent
Hurrah for the annexation of Canada. We
must have the critter head and heels if we have
to wade in blood up to our knees to pull it from
the horns of John Bull We must do it. re-
peat it again, we must do it, if we have to drive
the pickaxe of vengeance clear to the handle in
John Bulls added brains. Where's the possum
whose little son don't echo them sentiments!
He amt nowhere nor never was. Can't you,
and |, and every one of us, rouse up the wolf of
human natur till he'd paw the whole of Old En-
gland clear below low water mark! Yes stree.
Every citizen Of this tall land, from the owl on
the stub to the President Of this great armchair,
is in favor Of this all laundering and liberty
spreading measure. Just let those glorious
ideas pop into the United States Uranium fairly,
and see if an earthquake shout bursting from
twenty-sx millions Of India rubber lungs, don't
shake the whole earth-crack the zenith, and
knock the very poles over tell you there is
nothing this side the millennium like our own
everlasting institutions nor you can't scrape up
flock of civilized beings on the face of the
whole earth universal terra frma, who know so
we'll how to defend and spread them. Where's
the Yankee who won't fight for his country
within three-q quarters of an inch of his life, if it
"tries his soul, yes and his upper leather too ?"
What's England! Uncle Sam will take it yet
for pocket handkerchief to blow his nose upon
when he gets cold! We are bound to wake
up snakes" and no mistake. Let us once get
hold of the job in right earnest with all Uncle
Sans boys, and if we don't dig hole as deep
as eternity with the spade of Yankee spunk, and
scream the grease spots off the face of the uni
versal world, and pitch them end over end clear

voted heads to touch you off, Methinks the
flashes of fire in your eyes to-day forebode the
blood and thunder, only mind that you don't
fash in the pan! If you all do your bounden
duty in this crisis you'll spit the tobacco juice
of determination in John Bulls eyes till he has

IMPROVEMENT IN HEAD AND TAIL Blocks
Mr.. =. +. Drake, of Xenia, Ohio, writes us
that Mr.. Snyder, of Fairfield, o.. has made an
Improvement on Head and Tail Blocks, which
supersedes entirely the old method of dogging
Inc Improvement" he says, is not self
setter' but simple and permanent machinery SO
devised that by means of short lever one man
sets the log to any desired thickness of board in
the snort space of from two to FIVE seconds
moving both ends of the log at once with per-
feet accuracy"
The Improvement obviates the moving of the
tail end OF the log before backing out of the
saw; also the re-adjustment whenever change
OF thickness or size of lumber is reouired.o
Inc sawyer has full control of the log at each
successive act to move it backwards or forwards,
as by the old DIGGING plan. Mr.. Drake has .es.
Tea the Improvement for nearly year, and con.
siders it all that Is desirable. The blocks can
be placed on any carriage; they cost about 8 $50
complete one sawyer can do as much as two
by the old plan, and do better work

New NIGHT SIGNAL FOR STEAM AND SAILING
VEssELs.-Mr Thomas II. Dodge, of Nashua,
N. H., has invented some excellent improve
ments in night signals for steam and sailing
vessels, for which he has taken measures to Sc
cure patent. The improvements consist in
the employment of two lights of different COL
ors applied in the diametrical line to q revol-
wing vertical disc, which is surrounded by sta
tionary ring upon which the points of the CON-
pass are graduated. BY turning the disc to
bring the lights in such position, that an i'm
aginary line drawn through them, will intersect
that point OF the compass upon the ring, cor
responding to the actual point in which the ves-
sci is heading; the color of the light, which is
the pointer, being known, the course of the YES
sci will be visible at night to the crews of 9TH
er vessels, and collisions may thus with certain
ty be prevented.
Owing to the great number of steamers and
sailing vessels which now traverse the ocean,
the mighty pathway between Europe and Am.
erica, it appears to us to be imperative that
night signals should be employed on all vessels,
more especially steamships Many accidents
have already taken place, by one vessel running
down another in dark and murky nights, and
such accidents will become more numerous un-
less stringent measures are adopted to prevent
them 1t is also subject of some anxiety to
passengers on vessels; they fear collisions.
sailor, to be sure, is placed near the bow
on the lookout, but when the spray is dashing
over the forward deck, not much dependence
can be placed on sentinel. We hope that all
vessels will adopt these signals of MIR. Dodge,
which are exceentin every respect, and it would
be well to have q lookout box for the sentinel,
who should be able to communicate by bell
signal, quickly with the commander of the
watch. Scientific American.
