l;GooD SAwNG.-McGafey & Rob {
nson at their saw mill, in Glover are
,unning a turbine water wheel, built (
by J!lH. Paddock of St. Johnsbury.-
They have IS feet head and fall all ;
old, S6 inch wheel, using l42 inches
Of water, running two pinions, board
mill and 80 inch boiling saw. Last
Saturday with three hands they sawed
in one hour 1926 feet of spruce, saw
ing l6 logs to do it, and cut the slabs
at the same tt me. They call this smart
work, but we don't know whether it is
or not. ,,Messrs. Ford, Clark and j.
E. Dwinell are about putting in simi-
lar,wheels, which are pronounced to
be- good. - .''...'

=, EAGLE CAUGHT.-A. noble. eagle
was caught in trap in Westmore last
week by John Hunt. 1t measured
six feet from tip to tip of wings. 1t
is now in his possession and in chains.
Let him 60. 1t is a shame to keep
any bird in slavery-especially such
q bird.
b, AWoNDER.-We presume NOT half
the people in Barton are aware of the
many wonders, beauties and attrac-
tions possessed by the town; they will
Ego arhundred miles away to view
scenes of not half as pretty, wild or
wonderful as we have at our own
doors. The lake adjoining our village
lis as pretty sheet of water as you
will often find. Mays Brook" emp
Aties into this lake; follow it up tc
| Tinkham's mill nearly a mile and you
Twill see nature in her raggedest form
but what we had intended to speak of
lat the beginning is the natural stone
fume over which the mill stands, anG
which we regard as great curiosity
"a wonder in fact. This fume is the
outlet Of small pond into the May
Brook; is Of solid granite masonry
save seams or assures, is $50 feet il
length, eight feet wide and thirty fee
to the bed of the brook, is straight a
. an arrow and seems to be special,
4 designed for the purpose for which i
is now used. That is a fume tina
will stand; no fears of rot or freshet
j Thus God builds not for day but 70
Z the ages. 1t is worth ones while t
L visit this fume. Below it about 81
s. or eight rods is the Virgins Cave,
formed by two granite rocks comm
II together like roof; it is about 2
by 30 feet in size-a pretty place i
a hot day.
