"better method" Of keeping saw in
order. Instead OF leaving the throat

cut out the throat or foot Of the space
between the teeth nearly rs wide as the
base of the teeth; thus leaving more
room for the sawlust, and reducing
the labor of fling. And to sharpen
the teeth. hold smooth faced iron Or
steel under them, and, with light
hammer, flatten down and draw out
the tooth; thus keeping the underside
always level, the corners ont full, the
edges thin, and the temper good, fin
ishing with file, and being careful to
give the ssset" as near the end OF the
teeth as possible. E. WILBUR.

seven surviving childred. In May, he
spent a few weeks with DR.. Brainerd

several days at Orange, n. j., at the

The above mentioned Dr. Brainerd

said, except that he is one Of about a
half dozen Republicans Of our town,
who still neglect to take our paper.
