ed in the year 1868.
In England ssw mills had at first the same
fate that printing had in Turkey. When at
tempts were made to introduce them, they
were violently opposed, because it was appre-
hended that the sawyers would be deprived
by them of their means of getting a subsist-
ence. For this reason it was found necessary
to abandon saw-mill erected by Dutch
man near London, in 1863 and in the year
100, when one Houghton laid before the
nation the advantage of such mill, he ex-
pressed his apprehensions that it might excite
the rage of the populace. What he dreaded
was actually the case in 1857 or 116S, when
an opulent timber merchant, by ,the desire
and appreciation of the Society of Arts, caus-
ed saw mill, driven by wind, to be ,erected
at Limehouse, under the direction of James
Stansfeld, who had learned in Holland and
\ Norway the art OF constructing and manag-
ing machines of that kind. A mob assembled
and pulled the mill to pieces, but the damage
was made good by the nation, and some of
the rioters were punished. A new mill was
afterwards erected, which was suffered to work
without molestation, and which gave occasion
to the erection of others. 1t appears, how
ever, that this was not the only mill of the kind
then in Great Britain, for one driven also by
wind had been built at Leith, in Scotland,
some years before.
The application of the steam engine has in
modern times almost entirely displaced the
OF either water or wind as the source of power
in England, as most of the saw
mills now in action, especially those on large
scale are worked by steam.-Becknlan's History.

MY OLD MOUNTAIN HOME.

Though gently breaks the crested waves
Along old oceans strand,
Though stately rivers deep and wide,
With geld-dust in their sand;
Though brightly CLEANS the summer sun
On city spire and dome,
Yet, Iovelier. far to me, than these,
Is my old mountlin home.
The sunny south with orange groves,
Its sweet perfume exhales;
The verdant plains of the great west
0'er-blown by scented gales,
And boundless forests, long and wide,
Where wild beasts love to roam,
Are glorious; but L prize them less
Than my old mountain home.
These many rough and rugged hills
Incessant toll demand;
The scanty harvest which they yield
Scarce fills the reapers hand;
Yet where my footsteps ever tread,
Wherever | may roam,
Ny thoughts in love and pride will turn
To my old mountain home.

During the sitting of Court in Connect
cut, not many years ago, on a very cold eve-
ming, crowd of lawyers had collected around
the open fire that blazed cheerful on the hearth
in the bar-room, when a traveller entered, be-
numbed with the cold but no one moved to
give him room TO warm his shins, so he re-
mained in the back part of the room. Pres
emily a smart young limb of the law addressed
him, and the following dialogue ensued -
ssYou look like traveller %

from Wisconsin, 20
ssWhat distance TO come on one pair Of

ssWall, done it anyhow was the reply.
ssDid you ever pass through HI, in any of
your travels rs inquired the lawyer.
'sYes; I've been through the outskirts"

Some time ago, the wife of wealthy farmer
in Ohio eloped with farm laborer. The de-
serted husband obtained divorce and plodded
on alone. After while the sister of the re-
creant wife, living on an adjoining farm, slow
ly drew his regard and eventually they were
married. The other day knock was heard at
the door. and the farmer, opening it, beheld,
wan, pale and ragged, his truant former wife.
Her father had turned his back TO her, her par
amour had fallen into drunkenness. and hope
less, homeless, she as a last resort turned to
her former happy home. The farmer called
his wife; she would not see her sister, but a
tear glistened in the farmers eye. He sup
piled her present wants, and then built her a
cabin on the extreme end of his farm, where
by his bounty she is living out the remnant of
her days in remorse at her crime and folly.

A Breckinridge contempory says that Joe
Lane will resign his Senatorship rather than
represent state which has acted so dastardly
as Oregon has. We have no doubt but that the
Oregonians would admire the old mans rssfs-
nation much.

ONIONS FOR CATTLE.-A writer in the Home
stead has great faith in the efficacy of peck
of onions for Kidding cows and oxen of lice.
He claims to have found them an infallible
remedy in his practice. They also give tone
to the stomach, and are especially valuable in
hot weather, when.working cattle will lie in
the shade at noontime, and refuses to eat.
