Newpoft LILO b ProvIdenee star.

There is living in this city man
powers as was he who in olden times
bore off on his shoulders the gates of
GAIA. When youth he was wont TO
shoulder barrel OF flour with his feet
inside peck measure. On one occa-
sion on Stevens wharf, as the result of
a banter that he could not shoulder an
anchor weighing $50 pounds, he raised
it TO bis shoulders, carried it up Ban
nister's wharf, up four steps into the
United States Hotel (west door, car
ried il through, down one step, out of
the south door, down the wharf back
again, and deposited on the scales for
weighing. The distance he carried il
must have been from 800 to 400 yards
The feat was considered SO remarkable
that it was placed upon the town rec
ords, where it may be seen by any who
may be incredulous.
On another occasion half a dozen
men were Juggling at hogshead OF
molasses lynn on its bllge, endeavor-
ing to place it on end, when he ordered
them aside and ended it up alone.
Though now 81 years old, he is ready
at any time on a wager to lift to his
shoulder barrel of flour. The same
man Che is an out-and-out teetotaleI
now has been known TO stand at the
bar of the old Park House and drink
thirty-two glasses of liquor without
turning round. On one occasion lac
says that he and another man, making
"a night of it, sat down to half d
barrel Of beer and drank it up before
morning. Yet no person ever saw this
man in the gutter, or even stapger from
the effects OF his rotations. Ii was hi,
boast in his younger days that he could
out lift and out-drink any man il

1t will interest both stationers and
paper makers to know what effect the
introduction Of postal cards has had
on the consumption OF paper. Up to
date there have been about seventy
millions of these cards made, most OF
which have gone into consumption. A
large number have been used in cases
where but for their existence no COM
munication at all would have been
made, and So they cannot be said to
have wholly been used as a substitute
for writing paper. Where their COM
petition has been most felt has been In
their extensive use for circulars, for
which they are specially fitted. Here,
however, they have replaced book and
newspaper, as we'll as fine writing. IL
Is safe TO estimate one million postal
cards as equivalent to the same mum
Der of half sheets of note paper of
medium weight 0r say three tons and
one-eighth. Inis would make the to-
tai product to date as equal 20 about
two hundred tons IN round numbers,
allowing for those which have not re-
placed amy other writing materials.
This would barely equal the product Of
five mills at Holyoke for five days, and
il IS certainly not enough to cause any
alarm. For ourselves, We doubt II
through the competition Of postal
cards the consumption Of fine paper
has been lessened 100 tons, while we
believe il has indirectly stimulated
the consumption Of the latter. Ia this
connection we may state that the con.
sumption Of envelopes has not been
affected by the introduction Of postal
cards, but that the four or five leading
manufacturers are behind their orders.
