ST. ip so large that she will pass through the ocean
with comparatively little motion, plOuehing di-
rectly through the waves without rising upon them,
and so high above them that the rolling of the
highest waves will always be below the decks. II
is daring thought, but, in view of what has been
accomplished already, who will venture TO de-
nounce it as absurd9 There are those bold enough
to predict that ship will yet be built that will
pass through the stormy waves on the ocean with
as stately progress as vessel of a hundred tons
through river in the same gale. Ifany one is to
realize the frditon of this dream, it is, we doubt
moi, Mr.. Mckay, if his life is spared five years
longer"

the road near the toll-gate, man on horseback
ran his horse into the hind part of Mr. C.'s buggy
in such manner, and with such force, as TO fright

ian away He had not gone far before the shafts
of the buggy broke; aud the horse became de-
tackled from IL same, much to the relief of Nh
Colard, whose life by that accident was probably
saved. The horse upon which the man was noun
ted first leaped with his fore feet upon the buggy
then reared up, fell backward upon his rider and
crushed him to death.
