Building Lighthouse under Din.
culties.

THE English Government has built a
light. house upon Wolf Rock, which is
situated about nine miles southwest of
Lands End. The surface of this rock is
very rugged consequently, to land upon
it is at all times a very difficult matter
AS it is, moreover, in deep water (about
twenty tathoms on all sidcs), and exposed
to the full force Of the Atlantic Ocean, a
terrific sea falls upon it, as may readily be
supposed. From this cause the building
OF the new lighthouse has been no child's-
play. The light was first exhibited on the
ist Of Janury, 1870, and has since burned
regularly every night, from sunset to sur
lise. But the structure has taken nearly
eight years to erect On the 17th of
March, 1862, the workmen first got upon
the rock, to cut out the foundation; but
owing to the insecurity of the foothold,
and the constant breaking of the surf over
the rock, stanChions were obliged to be
fixed i'll the rock where the Workmen
were digging, and each man worked with
a safety lying near him. one end of
which was attached to the nearest stanch-
ion. An experienced man was always
stationed on the summit as "crow,' to
look out for the sea, and give warning
when wave was likely to sweep over the
rock when the men would hold on, head
to the sea, while it washed over them.
Then, when the wave had passed over, and
there was a temporary lull, picks, hahn
mers, and jumpers, some over twenty
pounds in weight, were frequently found
to have been washed away. An addition
al danger to the men was in the necessary
blasting of the rock with gunpowder-
their only protection from the showers of
shattered fragments of rock being a tem-
porary pent house, formed each time they
landed. In building lighthouses, the pro-
gress of the work must always depend
upon the humor of the weather. Very
often it is impossible to land on the rock
ut all and, when you do, you may often
find large portion of the last days work
washed away and this has to be done all
over again. In the eight working seasons
occupied over the W off: Rock light house
there were two hundred and sixtY.six
landings; and Of time spent in labor, eight
hundredand nine and half hours-being
only one hundred and one working
days, of ten hours each, for the erection of
the tower. In this lighthouse, fog-bcll
weighing five hundred weight, is fixed on
the lantern gallery. 1t is struck by two
hammers worked by machinery. For the
purpose of giving the signal a distinctive
character for the station, the machinery is
arranged for striking the bell three blows
in quick succession, at intervals OF fifteen
seconds. The cost of building this light
house, considering the exceptional diff
culties, may be reckonel moderate-being
about sixty two thousand seven hundred
and twenty-six pouuds.-AppAton's Jour-

er proof of the value of ashes for stock
from this incident lie had large tub full
of leached ashes, which remained in 1t
sometime. 1t was afterwards used as a
watering tub: and when the cattle drank
at it they would lick and gnaw the sides

one quart Of ashes, mixed with the same
quantity of salt, to twelve head Of cattle,
about once week, and finds it to agree

recent letter:
1.-THE preparations for summer travel
are already beginning. The railway
companies are going to offer tremendous
inducements 20 excursionists, this year
greater than ever before. The new fast
Time Table goes into effect on all the
great trunk lines on the 18th instant, and
1t is calculated to run through from New
York 70 Chicago even an hour or two
quicker than by the famous lightning
time of last year. Another new feature,
this season, will be the throwing open
to travel of the newly completed Niagara
Falls Division Of the Erie Railway,
which is destined to open a new phase Of
excursion travel to that delightful spot,
by enabling passengers to leave New
York after breakfast in the morning, and
90 through to Niagara Falls by daylight,
reaching there in time for supper. This
may seem wonderful at first sight; but
remember we are living in an age Of
wonders. Yet one cannot avoid a little
start of surprise at the wonderful i'm
prOvement in modern excursion travel,
which enables a tourist to take his seat
after breakfast m morning in one
of those recently constructed Palace
Coaches, the Queen City, the Crescent
City, the Jay Gould, or the James Fisk,
Jr., leach costing upwards Of 2 5000
and to be Whirled at the rate of thirty
miles an hour past a panorama Of ever
changing beauty, tothe Canadian border,
reaching there in season for a good sup
per anda quiet smoke before bedtime.
"And for the convenience, too, of
travellers from the West, passing through
Buffalo from the Lake Shore route, yet
desiring to view Niagara Falls en- PEASANT,
the Erie Company have determined to
issue, free of charge, to all such, tickets
from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and re-
turn, thus a~fording an opportunity to
visit, without extrReost this grandest Of

We are glad 10 learn that Senator

" unsolicited and very hattering encom-
iums by the press Of the State generally,
has consented 70 allow the use OF his name
as a candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for Lieutenant Governor. Although
Senator WOOdworth's name has been
used in connection with this nominal
ton all owe the State, it has been en-
tirely without his solicitation, and it is
only within a very few days that he
definitely determined to become q can
didate.
We Of this county, who know Senator
Woodwork and who have personally
felt his integrity, his uprightness, his
are elOquence and his unselhsh public
spirit need no arguments to convince
US of the fitness Of such a nomination.
1t may well to notice the fact that Sena-
tor Woodworth's disregard Of self has
given rise to the use Of his name in this
connection. AT the organization OF the
last General Assembly he was the regu-
lar Republican nominee for the Speaker
ship pro TEN. OF the Senate. In the ex-
igencies Of the organization Senator
Woodwork, by Withdrawing in favor Of
Senator Hunt secured the votes Of the
Cincinnati reformers to the Fifteenth
Amendment, His action at that time
secured for him the appreciation Of the
leading Republicans of the State to such
an extent that his name had been! men,
toned all over the State in this COnnec-
ton long before he ever thought serious
ly OF accepting the nOminali0n.
The nomination of Senator Wood
worth, if made by the State Convention,
will add no slight strength to the party
in this section. No man is more favor
ably or better known 70 all classes, and
among the laboring classes especially,
the bone and sinew Of the land, Sc nstor
WOodworth's name would be a tower of
strength.-AahOniHg Register.
