Thick buffalo robes, dressed by painted Indians
amid the Rocky Mountains, and bear skins

forests, are thickly piled above more homely

paw the ground impatiently, anticipating the
painting rapture of swift motion, and toss their

ling of the bells. So from the house the damsels
issue in somewhat cumberous attire, in warm

to moderate the boisterousness of "us youth ,,

from the dim eyes murmuring broken blessings

But all exquisite creations are short lived
The natural term of an apple-pie is but twelve

especially that somewhat impregnated with
noxious animal matters, uncleanliness Of per-

As to the medical treatment of Diptherid,
nothing of Importance can be said here, for
those constitutional and local remedies most eff

this disease, if had in proper time, are not at
hand in families, and if they were, could not be

About Clocks.

Mr. Camp, President of the New Haven Clock
Company, in recent speech ct a supper, said :
" Clock-making was commenced about 1915,
by Elirs Terry, of Plymouth, who made wooden
clocks, whiting out the wheels with knife
The running was regulated by heavy bag of
sand and was wound up by ball at the other
end of the cord. Terry used to make two clocks,
swing them across his horse, and ride off in
search of market. Very soon he introduced
the use of brass movements, using old kettles
because brass was scarce. When h. undertook
to make two hundred clocks, people laughed at
him, they thinking it would be impossible to
sell them. In 1923, Hon. Chauncey jerome
commenced the business, and with progressive
improvements the business now stands more per-
fected than in any other country. In 1929 a
wooden clock cost $11-now much better one
can be bought for 81 80. The business trans
acted by G. Jerome Co., is now done by tho
New Haven Clock Company. In 1857 the Com
pany commenced to make castings Then it was
thought wonderful that it turned out $4,000
clocks. In the year just ended the Company
turned out 100000 and 10000 finished move
ment."

,Lumbermen's Camps.
lFo BE CoNTINUED.)

The editor of the Ellsworth American, having
recently visited the Maine lumbermen in their
backwoods camps, gives the following descrip
ton of their winter habtations
" The camps of these hardy and labofious
men are made of logs. and covered with splits :
which are long shingles, made Of cedar, and
rived and shaved. These are again covered with
boughs. In the centre of the camp, is the fire,
extending half dts length, with an open space
just as large in the roof for the escape of the
smoke. A modern improvement has been in
troduced-the fire dogs, or andirons These are
made from three to four feet long, with a foot
in the centre, and large enough to hold large
quantity Of wood. They are really pair of
these indispensable articles welded together, with
one foot in the centre to strengthen the double
headed tfre'dog. One of the Injuries of camp
life is to sit on the deacon seat and watch the
flames as they issue forth from the hard wood
FIRE, the product of numberless long and large
sticks of wood, big enough for an old fashioned
shack log The deacon seats are sticks of
timber, hewn and squared, and placed parallel
with the FIRE, and on each side of it, for seats.
Back of these seats, are the dormitory apart
ments. A good foundation is made with cedar
or spruce houghs, on which are spread as cover
ing, a number of 'comforters' made thick and
warm with cotton batting.
One of the curiosities of these habitations, is
the 'bean oven.' This is hole excavated atone
end of the fire and near the fire dog, in which,
after being well heated with Goals, is placed a
large iron pot filed with beans, having sheet
iron covering jutting over the outer rim and
down its sides to keep the ashes out. This is
covered all over with Goals and hot embers, left
to cook through the night while the men are
sleeping. In the morning the pot of beans is
taken from its bed, and the beans are on the to
bic for breakfast, steaming and inviting enough
to tempt an epicure. One Of these camps had
dining and cooking room, in addition to the
usual accommodations, and also good sized
cook stove. There are, generally, from fifteen
to twenty-five men to each camp. In all that
we visited quietness, order, industry, and the
best of feeling existed among the inmates"

the Captain, musingly.

because no better presented itself " / suppose

Doke, " and therefore propose that we go i'm.

the Captain.

other word he left his horse with one of the
party and disappeared-or rather departed in
the intense darkness, for it could hardly be said
that they were visible one to another.

The following paragraph from the Wash-
iDgton correspondence Of the New York
Tribune, b endorsed by the philadelphia
Press, as correct statement Of Mr.. FoR-
NEY's position with reference to the next
presidential canvass: =
"Mr. Forney rendered valuable services to
the Opposition party Of Pennsylvania In the
victorious campaigns Of 1858 and 1859. We
believe his wen understood present political
position is this: If Mr.. Douglas should be NOM
mated for the Presidency on popular sove-
reignty platform, and should avowedly accept
that nomination on such . platform, and should
declare to the country that he adhered to the
principles he proclaimed in the Lecompton
contest, then Mr.. Forney would support him,
proUided he believed that the platform tcGs estdb.
ished in good faith, and Mr.. ID. ,oas sincere in
his aro,eats.s If either of these contingencies
fails, then throughout the coming Presidential
struggle he will be found doing battle with the
friends of the Constitution and the Union
against the enemies of bOth.' nf n
