THE TINE FOR CUTTING TMBER.-On that
subject there is is some diversity of opinion.
My own experience is, that if timber is to be
spirit, as for posts, rails cartwright stuff, cogs
&c., the best time is when the wood is full Of
sap. Those accustomed to working in wood
must have noticed that if hickory is split when
the sap is running, and afterwards become
seasoned, it is hard and glossy when dressed
as if polished. The same is true of white oak
spokes for wheels. Some are afraid to cut
chestnut in the spring on account of it not
sprouting from the stumps again; but there
is no danger on that score, as they will sprout
if cut at any season of the year.
Posts for fencing last better if we'll seasoned
before they are put in the ground. Locust is
the most valuable wood for posts. A fence
was shown me some years ago in the upper
part of the county, the posts of which had
been standing for fifty-fve years. Next to
locust, the red cedar is the most lasting.
am net acquainted with the durability of wal
nut but am satisfied that white oak is more
durable as post than chestnut. Iset fence
with sawed white oak posts in 1881 which
stood 25 years. 1t was hard, close grainc:
white oak that grew in an old field. Old,
open grained, white oak is not near as durable
as younger and harder white oak.
once saw posts made from large old, and
brittle white oak The wood was sound, but
very open in the grain and some said it will
make good posts as the tree is ripe and the
wood we'll matured. The posts did not last
over six or eight years. z.

The plank road between here and Elkton is

only used when it cannot be avoided. 1t is so
bad in some places as to endanger the legs Of
horses. 1t is to be hoped the track will he

the lands belonging to the Aims House pro-

The road is also being Strengthened, whereby
the appearance Of that part of the country is
much improved. The woods on the county
land is also being cleared off, and the land
prepared for tilage.

in digging the cellar Of his house deeper,
when about two feet down he discovered
something Ola singular appearance, accom-

dislodgcd from the earth.
The curiosity of the citizens present being
somewhat aroused respecting the suspicious
mass, it was removed to Squire Hunters
office, not far distant from the place of dis
covcry, for the purpose Of investigation
There different opinions were passed upon
Mr.. MS elimination; the general conclusion
was that its rcrtained to the human family
Accordingly DR.. Wright was summoned to
the spot and examined The mass, which proved
to be the remains of an infant. DR.. W. stated
that decomposition having taken place to such
an extent, gave evidence that the deposit was
of no recent origin. We have as yet found
no clue to the perpetrator Of this foul crime.

To-day the river is falling rapidly, ana heavy

Although it was supposed by many
that the spring opened favorably for fishing
present appearances are decidedly crushing

the gillers, and no herring Of consequence
have been caught. The batteries have COM

decreasing in our river, since the year Of plenty
