The motive power is furnished by two OF Chase's
celebrated turbine whcels, than which no better
can he foani. whether We regard the utilization
OF water, or their freedom from the influence OF
hack water. These wheels are now completely
submerged. and the depth OF water ON them
might be increased 30 six ftet without affecting
their working. They cost when put in position
sixteen hundred dollars. Their power may b.
estimated from the fact that yesterday. with all
the machinery running, the up-an,l-down saw
was making $50 cuts minute through the cen
tire VI tough pitch pine log two feet in Diane

saw may re inferred, when Il IL known that rs

This was one Of the most pleasant reunions Of
the season and reflects great credit upon its
managers, A series Of six TablcauH was pres

prison. "'John Knox admonishing Mary, Queen
Of SCOTS, !" "sappho, "IelisiOn cOnsOling JUS
ticc," BEATRICE. and "Jessie Brown, the he
rOine Of Lucknow. The only thing to be re-
grcttel was that human muscles were not capa-
bic Of keeping their position for much longer
time, that the enjoyment Of the beautiful repre-
scntstiOns might be longer. The tables were
tempting in their display Of COOL things. which
disippcar~l with marvellous rapiiity. We con-
graduate the managers ON their success, and
are glad to learn that the pccuniary result, were
very satisfactory.

As the workmcn, under the direction Of the
Street Commissioner, were removing the dirt
from the east side Of Main Street this morning,
one Of them using his pick little more vigor-
orsly than usual struck upon harl substance.
This excited his curiosity, and stimulated him
10 greater diligence, which was rewarded hy the
discovery that il was a round stone such, rs in
- I. Ia l.z.... il
dent that il was not i'm its natural place, AMI
curiosity being still further excited, tho Com
missioner put on large force Of men, in order
to solve the mystery. Their L,bOrs resulted in
the discovery Of an artificial water-course ex-
tending from the front of the ''stone store" to
north corner Of the "Saco lIousc."-Fron the
depth TO which Il was covered with dirt and
rubbish, il was evident that II must have been
constructed ages ago, long. even, before the alb
origincs held sway over these regions, and from
the strength and solidity u the structure, IL
must have been executed by racc Of higher
civilization than our own. The "York Institute
have tleputel one Of their most learned anti
auarians to investigate the subject, and we shall
publish the result Of his labors as soon as they
are completed.
