MINING FOR WooD.-The Irish ''bog oak"
has long been known and celebrated
1t consists of the fallen trunks Of ancient oak
forests, now deeply covered by accumuia-
tons Of peat bog, but still prctectly sound.
This ancient wood furnishes large quantities
Of valuable timber, which is mined from the
beds in which it lies, and worked into beau
tiful articles Of cabinet work, sculptured pan
nels, another carving. The dark stain i'm
parted to it by the long stepping it has under
gone in water saturated with both vegetab lie
and mineral matters, gives it a special value
for ornamental woodwork. Similar depos-
its of ancient wood exist in the vast swainps
of New Jersey These buried trees, howeV-
er, are cedars and not oaks, and it is made a
regular and profitable business to dig them
from the beds,t be manufactured into shin
giles, which are said to be of extraordinary
excellence and durability. A New York pa
per thus describes the timber, and the pro-
cess of getting it out 'EThese swamps are
very valuable, an acre of such timber com
manding from FIVE hundred to thousand
dollars. A peculiar feature Of the swamps
is of purely vegetable growth, often twenty
feet or more in depth. The peaty earth IS
constantly accommodating, from the fall OF
leaves ana DOuSilS, anu trees lOuHu bui tou III
it at all depths, quite down to solid ground.
The timber SO buried retains buoyaney and
COLOR and large numbers of workmen are con-
stantly employed in raising and splitting the
logs into rails and shingles. In searching
for these logs the workman uses an iron rod
which he thrnsts into the soil, and by repeat
ed trials ascertains the size and length OF the
wood he STRIKES and then by digging down,
obtains chip, by the smell Of which he can
determine whether it is worth removal. The
number of shingles produced from the wood
of these submerged forests is very great
from the little town of Delnlisriile, as many
as eight hundred Thousand, valued at twelve
thousand dollars, have been sent to market
in year. From the same place, thousands
Of dollars worth of white cedar rails are an
nualIy sent out. The deposit of timber at
this point extends to an indefinite depth, and
although, from growth above it, believed to
be two thousand years old, is all entirely
sound and will supply for years to come the
draft upon it.

Yes, shall rest Some coming day
When blossoms in the wind are da ncing,
And when children in their mirthful play,
Heed not the mourniul crowd advancing
Up through the lorg and dusty street,
They'll bear me to my last retreat.
Or else-i it matters not-may rave
The storms and blasts of winter weather
Above the marrow, neW-made grave,
Where care and lie down toget.sr;
Enough that / sho1ld know it not,
Beneath, in the dark narrow spot.
For shall sleep As sweet sleep
AS ever graced child's Ieposing,
Awaits me in the cell SO deep,
Where /, my weary ayeidS closing,
At length shall lay me down TO rest,
Needless Of clods above my breast
Asleep, how deep will be that rest,
Free from life's fever moving wildly,
That when is past the earth's unres
It's bosom shall receive me mildly;
For not one dream of earth shall come
TO invade the slumber of that home.
oh, deep repose Oh, sumber best !!
Oh, night of rest no storm, no sorrow,
No heavy stirring in my rest
To meet another weary morrow
| shall heed neither night nor dawn,
But still, with folded hands, sleep on.
Sleep on, though just above my head,
ProwI sin AMI misery's haggard faces,
All sense of human woe +: asses

OF every thought OF outward pain
Armies above my may tramo--
Twill not disturb rigid muscle
shall not heed their iron stamp
More than leafs comp aiming rustic
Nay, were the earth convened break
BY leaden sleep, should not wake.
And yet methinks, if steps of those
I'd known and loved on earth were round me,
'Twoud tame the might o my repose
SILVER tho iron cords that b jund me-
Save tina know this cannot be,
For death disoWns all sympathy.
Well, be it 80 since should yearn,

Gliding each lingering, late return,
And over sad and fearing

Its tragedy Of care ard pain.
Then mourn not, friends, when We may lay
The ciods Of earth above my ashes
Think what 4 rest awaits my clay
And smooth the mould with fearless lashes
Glad that the restless form within
Mas done at length with woe and sin.
Thick that with me the strife is DER
Life's stormy, struggling battle ended
Rtjoce that have gained that shore
70 While. =. though weak, my footsteps tended;
Breathe the biest hope above the sod,
And leave me to my rest with God.

VIM. Conner corner of Main and Grove
streets, is the Agent for eight offices in New
York, Springfield, and Providence. lie has
policies in all of these, amounting in the
aggregate to 1925, 000--making S35, 900
insured in Hartford and agencies established
here.
The policies issued on each Of the main
buildings. a certain sum to each company
ON the adjoining and connection building
certain amount to each; on the machinery III
each, a certain sum; OH the partly finished
work. a certain sum OH the finished work,
furniture, fixtures, certain sums ON the en-
pines each certain sum---the aggre gate be-
ing $3.50 900. ...,
The loss cannot be accurately ascertalned.
But in looking over one OF the policies, at
tached to which is diagram OF the buildings,
we find that about one half OF the amount
issued is lost by this fire and as this was
pro ratio policy, the relative amount Will be
the same throughout all OF the lists OF the
policies. So that the Insurance Companies
will be required to pay, each just about half
the amount insured; or 1915, 900 III the ag-
oregate. But this will not cover the entire
actual loss, which we think cannot be less
than $500, 900. Indeed the machinery IN
the pistol factory alone, has been estimated
at the value of half million dollars
The more costly and important portions
of the machinery were destroyed, though
owing to the efforts of the workmen and
firemen, thousands of dollars worth were
saved.
