ately, the air was filed with snow at the
time Of the fire. which prevented other
buildings catching, from sparks from the
building burned. The building belonged
to l.. & |. A. Denison, who had recently
leased the premises to S. Z. Tolman. MIR.
T. had commenced making Pins, and had
quite an amount Of stock in the building,
in process of manufacture, which was a
total loss. No insurance on building or
stock.
The Parsons Brothers have completed
their FIGURING mill making it one Of the
best Of its size, in the State. They have
put in two runs OF stone for making flour,
with new bolts, fine and of the best ma
terial. One run is expressly Tor custom
grinding, the other for barreling. Farm
ers can now carry their wheat to this mil!
with almost the certainty that their grists
will be ground and put up for them by
the time they are usually ready to leave
the village. on Fridays and Saturdays OF
each week One feature of this
mill giving great advantage over the
old, in the amount of flour from n given
quantity of wheat, is their bran buster.
After the bran has left the bolt, rs former
", il is carried to this buster, where it is
whirled round circular box, between
numerous brushes. which separates the
particles of fine -four which adheres too
closely 10 the bran. TO be shaken off by
the jar Of tho bolt. The machinery has
been put in under the direction of II. j.
Morton, of South Paris. and IS highly
creditable TO him rs y superior workman.
The owners are much pleased with his
work, and with good reason therefor.
The mill is in successful operation in all
its departments. y.

Bethef Natural History Society.

The Bethel Natural History Society
met ut the house OF Hon. ID, lIammons.
a paper was read by +. Foster. Esq, on
the Silicious Minerals. He classified
them into yitreous. or transparent min
erals. like quartz and amethyst; chalce-
donic, or translucent, like chalccdony
agate. and corncliaD iaspery, or Opaque
like Jasper and bIoodstone. He exhibited
fine specimens from his cabinet Tor Illus
tration. gathered from different parts OF
the world Our own country abounds in
MI the minerals. and Oxford county was
one OF the best for variety. Quartz in
almost all It's varitics abOunded in the
county, which have been secured 10 adorn
the cabinets OF scientific men.
j. 7. True then gave description OF
the Rhinoceros. He said there were tour
species in Africa. two white and two
black. The latter had II short horn and
the former long horns. They are noe
turnal animal, and are fond of wa,lowing
in the mud. Their horns admit of a fine
polish, end are sometimes more highly
valued than ivory The black varieties
are sometimes exceedingly precious.
They will run their horns into the ground
and tear il up FOR several yards and attack
bush and tear 1t TO pieces rs ii it were
the cause Of provocation. They do not
ordinarily go in herds like the elephant,
but singly or in pairs. They are next in
size to the elephant OF all recent animals.
Mr.. f. llammons next read a paper on
the Sugar Maple, (accr sachrinum).
There are - species ofthe maple known
in the world, OF which u are found in
this country. Six species abound in
Maine. OF these the common sugar
maple aud the black maple Of the middle
and western States contain the most
sugar The process of tapping trees was
then described. The trunk, limbs, and
roots are filled with frozen sap in winter
and rs it thaws in spring it flows very
freely. fla tree be tapped in several
places, it will furnish molc sap in given
time but will fail the sooner from ex-
haustion. The sugar is composed of
carbonc acid am, water, the very ele-
men,s that enter into the growth OF the
woody fibre. A large tree will WELD
three or tour lbs. in season. Some of
the large naples in Fryeburg have been
known TO yield rs high rs six pounds in a
season. The last run al sap is said to
taste of the buds and cannot be granu-
lated into sugar.
The President remarked that after all
the researches of science there was much
10 be learned respecting the circulation
of the sap. What causes the flow of sap?
How do the leaves perform their office?
BY what law does the woody fibre formP
Why does sap cease 10 flow with n souther-
ly wind? How after frosty night, and
many other questions remain yet to be
fully answered.
After free discussion and refresh
ments, the society adjourned one week to
meet at the same place.

We see by the National of Buffalo,
n. T., that Capt F. S Hardy, of that
city, and lately resident, of Buckfield
village, has patented a non.conducting
cement, and company has been formed
in Buffalo under the corporate name Of
the Hardy Non-conducting Cement Co, !"
for its manufacture and sale. The Ma
tional says that it is composed Of the most
perfect non-conducting materials known;
and so scientifically combined that it
wholly prevents the radiation of heat
from bodies having high temperature,
also protecting ice houses, and refrigera-
tors from the heat Of Summer. 1t has
been found that by its use a saving of 10
to 20 per ct. in fuel alone is made. Being
non, combustible, is perfectly safe in close
proximity to woodwork. 1t is sufficiently
elastic to accommodate itself to expansion
and contraction of iron, is susceptible Of
an exceedingly fine finish, and as roof
ing material is unrivaled. 1t is not
affected by the atmosphere, or northern
changes, and is impervious to water.
