The FIRST Turnpike i'm EmgEa

Exactly five hundred years have elapsed
since Il hermit. weary Of the labor Of having
to do, and tired of sitting the dali day
through. by the side of the stone which SUP.
ported the sun dial in front Of st. Anthony S
Chapel. on Highgate lIll-ttlat stone which
subsequently became known as Whiting
ton s--resolvcd to mend the ways between
the summit of the hill and the low part of
the vale ending in laingtOn. This hermit
was man Of some means, and he devoted
them to bringing gravel from the top of the
hill aud laying it all along the uncean track
which then, as now, bore the name OF
- Hollow Way" BY digging out gravel he
gave Il pond to the folk on the hill, where i,
was greatly needed and he contributed
cleanliness and security to the vale, where
neither had hitherto been known. Travellers
blessed the hermit who had turned con.
structor of highways; the pilgrims 20 St.
Anthony found their access to the shrine
of the saint made easy and pleasant by him
and as for the bcnctcent hermit himself his
only regret was that in accomplishing this
meritorous act for the good of his fellow
men, he had entirely exhausted all his for
tune. The King, however, came to the
rescue. He set up toll, bar, and published
a decree addressed to "Our we'll beloved
William Philippe, the hermit" that he and
the public might know wherefore. The
King declared that he highly appreciated
the motive which had induced the hermit to
benefit our people passing through the high
way between Highgate and Smethield', in
many places VIGOROUSLY miry and deep
And in order that the new way might be
maintained and kept in repair, the King
licensed the hermit to take toll, and keep
the road in order, and himself in comfort
and dignity. This was the first road. bar
erected in England, and William Philippe,
the hermit, was the father of that race of
turnpike keepers whose sovereignty of the
roads within fifty miles of London came to
AN end, after reign Of five centuries, on
the LIST day Of the month of July of this

Dead Horses and their Uses.

| On the west bank of the Potomac, and
| about midway between the Long Bridge and
Alexandria. stands what is called the bone
factory of Messrs. Dawson & Hale. The
establishment covers about half an acre OF
ground. and presents conglomcration of
old and new sheds of all sizes and at all
angles. The firm owns one steamer and
twelve bargcs. by means of which the car
cases are conveyed from Washington, Alex
andria and Giesboro to their establishment.
The bodies, upon their arrival, are imme-
diatcly Invested of their hides, which. after
being sailed, are disposed of to the tanners
The hair of the names and tails are washed
and dried, and the larger part Of the best
quality exported to Europe, where it is man
utactured into hair cloth. The residue is
disposed OF in our own markets, and is used
in various articles Of commerce, but chiefly
as .curled hair
After the hide is removed, the body is
divided into small parts, and conveyed to
the tanks. These tanks are eleven in mum,
Der, aud capable Of containing one hundred
and forty bodies. Each tank has q steam
pipe connected with it, and these pipes are
supplied with steam from q boiler Of great
capacity and power. The tanks are filled

the parts suitable for combs are worked up,
and the balance made into glue. When the
