Driving of Wood.

DR.. Hurtig, of Munich, has recently
made experiments on various kinds of
wood. He says trees generally contain,
during the winter months, about an
average of j0.7 per cent. of moisture !;
in March and April, about 46.9 per
cent; in May, June and July, about As
per cent. while up to the end of No
vember the moisture increases but little.
Air-dried wood (timber) contains from
20 to % per cent. Wood, which by be-
ing artificially dried has been deprived
of all moisture, is thereby entirely al
tered as regards its cohesive strength
it becomes brittle, and loses its elasticity
and flexibility.
In order to dry all kinds of timber by
artificial means, so as to preserve the
essential physical structure, and, there
by, the good properties of the wood, the
drying should be effected slowly, and
the temperature to which the wood is
submitted should be moderate to begin
with, and care should be taken not to
eliminate all the water.
The author enters into details, illus
trated by engravings, on the best means
of drying timber on a large scale, and
states that small pieces of wood, such as
are intended for joiners and furniture
makers, may be readily and efficiently
dried by being placed in dry sand, and
then heated to 100 deg. The sand acts
in the manner of an absorber Of the
moisture, as well as diffuser of the
heat.

GOVERNOR CLAFLIN, IN his message to
the Massachusetts, Legislature, while not
taking ground in favor of woman suf
frage, argues that in several re-
spects great injustice is done to wo-
man by existing laws. He refers par
ticularly to those laws affecting the
rights of property, which he pronounces
"relics of barbaric ages" There are
laws, also, affecting the rights of women
in regard to children, which bear Sc
verely upon her in the tenderest rela-
tons. The courts have often shielded
her of late years in these matters, rea-
LIKING doubtless that precedent and the
usual strict Interpretation of laws often
bring great injustice to many worthy
and suffering mothers and lasting in
jury to children. All such injustice and
hardship should be eliminated, in the
opinion of Governor Claflin, from the
laws of the State.

The WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Journal, in order to prevent misappre-
hension, relates the grounds of Secre-
tary Boutwell's action in regard to the
collection of interest from the Pacific
Railroad bonds. The difficulty origi-
mated with ii notification from the
Comptroller of the Treasury to the rail
roads that they must pay up, to which
they replied by denying their liability
until the maturity of their bonds. This
raised new question, on which Secre
tary Boutwell, felt it necessary to ask the
opinion of the Attorney General, who
decided, not that the roads must pay
the interest, whether able to do so or
not, but that they were liable for the in
terest as fast as it accrued. 1t is under
stood that none of the propositions in
troduced into Congress to compel the
payments have been inspired by Secre
tary Boutwell,, nor is it believed that he
will in any way impair the usefulness of
this great highway, which is of such in.
calculable importance to our national
prosperity.

Arrested for Murder.
From the Oshkosh Northwestern.

On the 2lst of October, 1868, Mr. b.
Blanchard, a merchant Of Stevens
Point, left this city on one of the Wolf
river steamboats, for home, after an alb
sence of several weeks in the East. He
was known to have got on board a stage
at ellis Landing, but from that time
until the next April no trace could be
found of him. About the Goth of April
his mangled corpse was found in the
Wisconsin river, near Stevens Point, a
rope tied round his neck, hands and
feet, and pockets filled with stones. His
skull was crushed as with a sharp in
strument, and his face badly gashed in
several places. He was known to have
a sum of money on his person, which
was doubtless the incentive to the
bloody deed. The driver of the stage
and one of the passengers were arrested,
but no one was convicted of the horrid
crime. On the night of Wednesday,
the 18th, Chas. B. Waterhouse, driver of
Northop's omnibuses, in this city, was
arrested by Maj. Worden, Chief of Po-
lice, assisted by officers from Portage
county, under an Indictment by the
Grand Jury OF that county, charged
with completely in the murder. On
yesterday he was taken to Plover, there
to await his trial Waterhouse was in
that route at the time, and as to the
probability of his guilt we have no
means of judging. He has been in Osh.
kosh for more than year, and has al
ways borne Il good reputation.

The MarkethOuse Suit.

In anticipation of the early abatement of
the old nuisance on the Public Square,
facetiously termed markethouse, one of
our most prominent butchers was last week
looking about for a suitable building in
which to establish fine meat store. This
is but the beginning. Within month at-
ter the present system is declared nui-
sance, should such be the verdict in the
chancerv suit, there would be tirSt-clasS
meat and produce stores established all over
the city. 1t seems to us rather rough
joke (Of course it is unintentional) on our
country friends, who supply the city with
food. to compel them to cOngregate in one
single, crowded place, at midnight, and in
all kinds of weather, in order to have
an opportunity of selling the produce
of the county. An acquaintance of
ours once had occasion to cross the bridge
from Edgefield, between u and O'Clock at
night, in his buggy. When he reached
this end of the bridge, he found all the
space between it and the Square literally
packed with loaded market wagons. On
enquiry, he found that the law prevented
market wagons from assembling ON the
Square until the city clock struck one. So
he had to patiently wait at the bridge until
that hour The instant the clock struck
one, there was a wild, pell nell rush of
market wagons, from erery street leading
into the Square, each trying to get the
most eligible place around the market
house. Most of the farmers and produce
raisers are compelled to leave their homes
at midnight in order to secure good stand
Gil the Square to sell their produce. Many
of them support their families in this
business, and necessity compels them to sub
init to any system or regulation the city may
adopt. The exposure they are thus forced
to undergo, has cost men their lives, and
ruined the health of others. The whole
system is barbarOus, diSjointed fragment
Of the past, and ought to be forever abol-
ished. Let us have free markets. The
comfort, convenience, and necessities of both
! the city and county demand it. 1t would
be about as reasonable, to compel all the
Dry Goods to be sold in one place, and TO
be brought there at midnight, and sold with
in certain hours. We hear but one ex-
preston of opinion as to the Bill filed in the
Chancery Court to remove the whole sys-
/ TEN, and that is in accordance with the
{ above views.
