last year the Liberal candidate for
Congress against Mr.. Gunckel, de-
clares his intention ofvoting this year

ed, seized the horses, stopped the
carriage, lifted the frightened girl
from the wreck, carried her in his
arms to his own carriage and drove
her home.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Our folks around
hear sal that this man Allen, which
we air a runnin' for Governor, was a
CRATE man a good many years ago.
Is he the same one that fit in the rev
olution, with his Greene mounting
boys? I thot his name was Ethan,
or some such outlandish thing, and
he lost his teeth a bitin' nails in
British jails; and then lumed up in
hyperbclean skies, to tell us that the
Bible lies, as the poet beautifully ex-
presses it. If this is SO, can pastor
of the Baptist Church, hard-shel de
nomination, conshienshusly vote for
him, an advise his little flock to do
so? Yours, in the faith,

this: That minority of the Repub

the back-pay, Al are Republicans.

ship Building in New En-
gland.

Reports from various seaports o.
New England indicate revival in
the business of building wooden
ships. The Boston Journal, which
has made some investigation into the
matter, says:
The New England ship owners
have closely watched the experiment
of iron ship building abroad, and
from the knowledge and experience
gained during the past five years in
reference to the subject, they are in
clined to adhere to the old material
which has served so well in past
years, when our mercantile marine
won the admiration of the commercial
world. Quite number of fine yes.
sells are in course of construction in
the vicinity of Boston. The ship
yards of East Boston have number
of vessels on stocks, and business is
more lively there than for years past
The accounts from Maine are also
encouraging, many of the old ship
builders having replenished theil
stock, aud are now actively engaged
in putting the materials together
Butte feet of coasting vessels have
already been sent afoat this summer.
The activity already displayed in
this branch of business denotes con
siderable progress made in the patti
of returning prosperity, and, consid
ering the present high rates o
freight and full employment fol
shipping, there seems to be reasona
BILE ground for hope that ship owners
will find their investment a arenumera
tive one for some time to come.

A Rocking Stone.

In many parts Of the world are found
huge stones or rocks so poised on mar
r.w base that they rock to and fro uu-
der slight moving force. Sometimes
the rocking or logging" is caused by
the wind only, without direct human
contact, but generally muscular or me-
chanical force has to be applied. One
of the most familiar examples is the
Logan or Logging Rock, in Corn wall
noar the promontory of easily Treyu.
The stone, which attracts numerous
visitors, Is between sixty and seventy
tons weight, aud SO nicely poised that
person can easily set it in motion. DR..
Borlase, the Cornish antiquary, fully
described tho rock, adding that it WIS
"morally impossible that any lever, or
indeed force, however applied in a me-
chanical way. could remove it." This
statement was put to the test by young
oIcer of the navy, Lieutenant Gold
smith, said to be grand nephew of
Oliver Goldsmith He was in CON.
mand of cutter in the neighborhool,
and with ten or twele Of his men threw
the rock of its balance and sent it rol
ling toward the sea, where it would
have been lost but that ohasm inter
cepted it. The exploit justly gave great
offence to the neighborhood, aud the
mischievous prank being reported to the
Admiralty, the young officer was com
pelled to replace the rock. This was
not done without much labor and exer
ton, and the aid Of machinery from the
Iockyard at Plymouth. Sir Davis Gil
bert and others subscribed for the fund
necessary 70 restore the rock to its site
and the lieutenant to the good books a.
headquarters. For some time atterward
chains and other projections were used,
but these have been long since removed.
The stone, however, does not "log" so
vel! as it did previous to its overthrow.
