station on Pixies Peak as building of
stone, walls two feet thick, thirty feet
by fifteen, and nine in height. Three

appoint man TO Office so far in ad-
vance of the time for his fulfillment of

the vacancies.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Detroit
Tribune says: If an edged tool is 80
hard as 10 crumble grind it on dry
stone until the edge turns blue, it will
then cease to break, and the temper
will generally prove to be about right.
Scythes and axes are sometimes too
hard at the edges, but if treated in this
will give no further trouble.
