TIMBER. At present there is less timber
on the banks of our streams, we are inform
ed, than at any former period at this season
of the year. The scarcity of snow will ac-
count therefor, as, we believe, nearly a
usual quantity of timber has been made,
but it still lies in the woods, and willremain
there until another season, sunless there is a
good fall of snow soon.

who, every now aud then, by way of as
serting their authority, arrest all the
women they find alone IN the streets at "a
certain hour. In this comprehensive
seizure the wrong persons are sometimes
inc ,uded. More than once it happened
that lady whose husband left her side
for few minutes was snatched away to

waiting near the stage door for another
lady of the company, was carried off by

Remarkable Escapes of Eminent Men.

Some years ago, young man holding
subordinate position in the East india
service, twice attempted to deprive him
self Of life by swapping loaded pistol al
his head. Each time the pistol missed
fire. A friend entering his room shortly
afterwards, he requested him to fire II
out Of the window; it then went of with
out any difficulty. Satisfied thus that
the weapon had been duly primed and
loaded, the young man sprang up, ex
claiming, II must be preserved for some
thing great, aud from that moment gave
up the idea Of suicide, which for some
time previous had been uppermost in his
thoughts. That young man afterwards
became Lord Olive.
Two brothers we're on one occasion
walking together, when violent storm,
accompanied with thunder and lightning
overlook them. One was struck dead on
the spot; the other was spared, else
would the name Of the great reformer,
Martin Luther, have been unknown to
mankind 4,fI#t tl'fi.-
Bacon, the sculptor, when a tender
boy Of five years old, fell into the pit ol
a soap boiler, and must have perished
had not a workman, just entering the
ward, observed the top of his head and
delivered him.
When Oliver Cromwell was an infant,
a monkey snatched him from his cradle,
leaped with him through a garret win
dow, and ran along the leads Of the house.
The utmost alarm was excited among
the inmates, and various were the devices
used to rescue the child from the guar
dianship Of his newly found protector.
All were unavailing; his would-be res
cuers had lost courage, and were IN
despair Of ever seeing the baby alive
again, when the monkey quietly retraced
its steps and deposited its burden safely
on the bed. On subsequent occasion
the waters had well nigh quenched his
Unsuitable ambition. He fell into deep
pond, from drowning in which a clergy
man named johnson was the sole instru-
meut Of his rescue.
At the siege of Leicester, a young sol
dier about seventeen years Of age was
drawn out for sentry duty. One Of his
comrades was very anxious to take his
