A Professor at Munich has published the
results Of his experience GA the seasoning Of
wood. Growing wood, he says, contains in
Winter about so per cent of water, in March
and April is, and 48 per cent in the next
three months, with but little variation up to
November. Timber dried in the air holds
from 20 to % per cent. of water; never less
than ten per cent. Wood dried by artificial
means until all moisture is expelled, is depriv-
ed OF Its elasticity, and becomes brittle. If
the natural qualities of the wood are to be
preserved, the drying must begin at moder-
ate heat, and be carried on very slowly. For
the drying Of small pieces of wood, such as
are used by joiners and cabinet-make rs, the
Professor recommends bath Of dry sand,
heated to temperature not exceeding one
hundred degrees The sand diffuses the heat
aud absorhs moisture; but it nnst be cola

SMALL Mouths What I am about to re-
cord may surprise some people; but I hare
always noticed that in women who haze an
extremely small mouth, there is seldo n OBJ
served that amiableness of disposition and
character, which is SO frequently found in
those who have handsome mouth Of moder-
ate size. It would seem that too small a
mouth indicates a weakness which degcner-
ates into affectation. The last mentioned
quality seems to be SO inseparaby attached
to smallness Of the mouth, that even those
females who have an ordinary mouth, when
they are going to be affected, always begin by
contracting that part.

The Democratic Nominating Con-
vention of this county appointed a
committee to confer with the Democ-
racy of Summit county in regard to
the nomination OF candidate for the
State Senate from this district. The
committee visited Akron on Thurs
day last, where they found the Demo
Gratis of that county assembled in
Convention. The name of our tewns-
man, c. C. Goodman, Esq. was sug-
gested for the position, and on mo-
tion he was nominated unanimously.
Mr.. Goodman is . native of Raven
ma, and is extensively known through
our. the district, and will poll large
vote. He is one Of the best men in
the district for the position, and he
ought to be elected, though that is
hardly to be expected with tbs inn
mense majority against us in the dis
trict.

Il IxadlcaI Love of the soldiers.

The Republicans of Clermont Coun-
ty, like those of Guernsey, at their
late County Convention threw over
board all the soldier candidates for
county offices. OF these soldier can
didatess- there were three who had
served in the Clermont Regiment with
distinguished gallantry, and one who
had endured the horrors of Ander-
sonville prison. In each instance a
stay-at-home citizen was selected in
their stead. For the first time, to the
astonishment- of the good people of
Clermont County, there were negro
delegates in the Convention. The
word seemed to have been passed,
s Negroes to the front, soldiers to the
rear We understand that the sol
dier element in the county is greatly
dissatisfied with this result.

IT hardly needed the Ku Klux in
vestigating committee to demonstrate
that the carpet-bag Governments
forced upon the Southern States are
corrupt and inefficient, and afford no
protection to the people. And they
simply demonstrate that fact and
nothing more. In all those States
where the people have had the priyi-
lege of selecting their rulers and man
aging their own concerns, there is not
the least complaint of want of securi-
ty of person and property. Such
complaints come only from those re-
gions controlled by the thieves and
carpet-baggers foisted upon the peo-
pie by federal bayonets and protected
in their tyranny and and plundering
by the despots at Washington. Could
any other result be expected How
long would the liberty-loving people
of any Northern State submit to
be thus governed by tyrants and
robbed of their substance7 g5i.

Terrible rrphoon in Lanan.

SHANGHAI, via London, August 81.
-Advices received here from Kobe,
Japan, state that a heavy typhoon
passed over that district on the 4th of
July, causing immense loss of life and
destruction of property. Upwards of
400 persons were killed by the fierce
ness of the hurricane, many being i'm
INJURED in falling buildings and crush
ed to death. Whole families perished
in this manner, their dwellings being
uprooted from their foundations and
dashed into fragments. Trees and
plants were uplifted violently and car
ried great distances. The shipping
also suffered severely. The typhoon
caught the vessels and with irresisti-
BILE force swept them from their moor
ings and drove them out to sea. Sew
eral vessels were wrecked, and at
Kobe all the vessels in the harbor were
more or less damaged. The loss by
the hurricane cannot be definitely as
certained, but it is estimated at over
S5O0,O00.
