A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives facelious account of
a branch railroad in Ohio:
zones travelling experience is never
complete until he has made trip over
what Is known as the - Branch of
the - Railroad. The distance is six
teen miles, and doubt If there is
another road in the United States that
gives a man more riding for his money.

weather. These bitches are ALWAYS
hlled with water, and as the train
moves slowly along beneath the dense
itohage OF the overhanging trees, the
Dull rogs gaze at us from their cool re-
treats. They (the frogs) lately held a
convention, and resolved If the road
didn't make better time they would
take 1t and run it ION their own hook
,,Ihe road is laid with the old strap
rail, and in many places where this is
worn away they go it, on the bare tim
per. NO such thing as culYert or cat
tle-guard is known. This was a source
OF great Inconvenience to the farmers
nereabout at one time-not that they
ever ran. over any, but the cattle could
stray away. The honest yeomanry'
stood this awhile, but finally put up
eAoAA AouCSsf Iu9 same as lnOuEl there
was no such road as the 'Branch' in ex-
1stence. 1t was then necessary for a
man TO go ahead and let doiOR TIE bars
There is only one stopping place on
the road. Here we took the side track,
to let the hand-car pass. Persons get
on and Off at will, and even women and
children appear suddenly in the passen-
ger coach and disappear again before
you know it. The locomotive is an in
teresting object. Imagine the first one
you ever saw. 1t Is really marvellous
that she sticks to the track. The engi-
neer is a queer old genius, too, and re-
sembles his engine as much as it is pos
sible for man to look like locomotive,
And he understands every inch of the
road to perfection-the curves, joints,
broken iron, &c., in fact knows Just

'tWhen the train leaves Findlay, the
employees take leave of their families
with tears. The parting between the
conductor and his wife was peculiarly
affecting, Mr.. Sprague, of the Crooks
House, never allows his guests to leave
on this road without first settling up
their arrears. There are too many
chances against him, and Sprague Is
fond of sure thing"

SCARCITY OF PINE LUMBER.-Pine
lumber is growing scarce and high
every year, and thus adding to the cost
of building operations of all kinds. The
pine forests of New York are nearly
exhausted, and Canada and the West
are drawn upon for asupply. The pine
forests OF the West are confined mostly
to the States OF Michigan and Wiscon-
SIN. The immense praries of the West
draw their supply from the upper
waters of the Mississippi river and
Lakes Michigan and Huron. The f6-
lure demand for lumber in the West is
likely to become so great, and the re-
gioin1 70 supply them is SO limited as to
alarm the General Government. md
steps are being taken to plant trees ON
the western prairies under encourage
ment OF material aid to be furnished by
the Government. Probably the most
extensive pine forests in North Aroeri-
ca, east of the Rocky Mountains, are to
pc tound1n Canada. The valley OF the
Ottawa alone embraces an area of from
10000 to $4,000 square miles, being an
s&tens OF country greater than the
states OF New York, Vermont, and New
"a "a aIahtre together, and is a dense for
est, mostly of pine. The timber trade
OF this valley is immense. During the
nine years from 1S4S TO 1857, inclusive.
81 100000 square feet of white pine was
sent from the Upper Ottawa to Quebec;
q, $4,000 cubic feet of red pine, which
Preaomlnates over the white, and 2, ,2S6-
$50 feet of other timber. The whole
amount cut during that period would
fall little short of 800, ,00O, 900 feet, 1t has
been calculated that there is available
IN the valley of the Ottawa about 43, ,O00,-
600 tops of such timber as is now taken
20 market, and about $50, ,000, 600 tons OF
smaller size. At the present rate ri
shipment this would last q century.

HERRIEG's SAFEs IN THE LATE PoRT-
LAND CoNFLAaRATIoN.-T is a
moral to be drawn from one of the In.
cidents of the late disastrous fire in
Portland, that should be carefully con-
sidered by those who would avoid a
danger that is all the more insidious
because we are apt to imagine our
selves secure from; it. We refer to the
test that has been applied to the safes of
dtherent manufacturers that were ex-
posed to the terrible ordeal of Ere there.
The word SAFE which is applied to the
IRON chests or boxes that are manutac-
tured by all makers, is only applicable,
In reality, to such as have successfully
stood the test; and our advertising col
umns show that the Herring Safe fairly
sustains the reputation it long ago ac-
qulred, Of being one of the most perfect
nre- proofs yet made. Alter seeing the
reports of the great losses Of VaInables
contained in other safes, we were led to
inqqlre why people shouI d be so blind
70 their own Interests as to trust their
treasures in such insecure depositories..
when others that had been proved and
tried in hundreds of fifes, could be had,
and we were informed that in this, as
in many other matters, people forgot
the motto, The best is the cheapest, ;,
and that one cause of the great loss In
this instance WIS, that the Portland
= l.Aot y cHansS At.u purchased safeS manu-
tRctured In the East that were cheaper
than Herring could afford to sell IFS
for, We should as soon trust our funds
to.a street broker, who might offer a
large interest," than the more cautious
and Well-known neighbOring banker,
as put our YalnableS in an iron box
that VIII not stand theAtest of fire; and
having experienced the satisfaction Of
owning one OF Herrtng's make, we the
more cheerfnlIy recommend them to
our friends. Scottish AAtefScda Jour
