The entertainment at Rock Spring, on
Thursday night OF last week, given by
the ladies aud gentlemen OF the nelgh~

was grand success. The music was
beautiful; the performance splendid; not
a failure made; the attendance large
The ladies haye made quite an effort
lately to secure lamps, seats, etc, for the
church, and so far, their efforts have
been appreciated and literally rewarded.
They were presented last week with
three beautiful lamps by the acetL-6e-
liked bachelors, Messrs. Brazier, Gre

SAW MILLS.

The operation Of saving by hand is
simple but very laborious, and men
musl at an early period have sought
for some means Uf setting machinery
to work for the purpose. According
to Beckmann, saw mills, driven by
water power, were erected so early as
the fourth century in Germany on the
small river Roer or Ruer. Saw mills
do not appear to have been common
until about the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. After noticing their erec-
tion in certain parts Of Europe the
learned writer says; "In England saw
mills had at first the same fate that
printing had in Turkey, the ribbon
loom in the dominions of the church,
and thecrane at Straasburg. When
attemptswere made to introduce them,
they were violently opposed, because
is was apprehended that the sawyers
would be deprived by them of their
means of getting a subsistence. For
this reason it was found necessary to
abandon saw mill erected by
Dutchman near London in 1858 and
in the year 100, when one Houghton
laid before the nation the advantages
of such mill he expressed his appre-
hension that it might excite the rage
of the populace. What he dreaded
was actually the case iu 1867 or 1853,
when an oppulent timber merchant, by
the desire and appreciation of the So,
ciety of Arts, caused saw mill driven
by wind, to be erected at Linnhouse
under the direction of James STAINS
field, who had learned in Holland and
Norway the art of constructing and
managing machines of that kind. A
mob assembled and pulled the mill to
pieces; but the damage was made
good by the nation, and some of the
rioters were punished. A new mill
was afterward erected, which was SUI.
fered to work without molestation and
which gave occasion to the erection of
others. 1t appears, however, that this
! was not the only mill of the kind in
Britain, for one driven also by wind
had been built at Leith, in Scotland,
some years before. '''

A LUCKY HIT.-A French noble.
man, observing his tenant about to de-
stroy fine, thrifty pear tree, inquired
the cause. He was told that it was u
chance Seeding. and had borne no
fruit in twenty-five years. He had
already cut its roots pre- paratory to
the first stroke, but was ordered to let
it remain. He did so, and in the fol-
lowing year it was loaded with superb
fruit Of an entirely unknown variety,
which at once became celebrated. The
root pruning the gardener had given
it worked like charm. Not many
years afterward the Duchess dan
gouleme was passing through the city
of Lyons, and its inhabitants sent to
her their hospitalities. Nine fair
maidens presented the Duchess with
golden salvers, on which lay heaped
this precious fruit, and begged her to
bestow on it her name; and the pear
now recognized as the crowning glory
of all fruits was thenceforward known
as the Duchess d'Angouleme.
We met with this witty ard unan-
swerable retort in the sketch of short

A CAVE AND A CORPSE.

A wonderful cave has been discovered
there, which writer in the Farmville
Mercury tells about. After describing
several chambers, the account contin-
ues: ..,
s"We had satisfied our curiosity aud
we're about to leave the cave, when
behind a large rock, or rather a spur
of the main rock which formed the
bottom, my son discovered larger
passage than any we had before seen.
This we entered, and after following it
for some seven feet, entered into an
apartment of immense size The light
of our torchesT- falling upon the
stalactities, revealed scene of beau
ty which was fairly dazzling. The
size of this apartment | cannot tell as
the roof and sides were lost in dark
ness. We penetrated to considera-
ble distance, keeping close to one of
the sides SO that we might easily find
our way back, ard would have gone
further but for finding in a recess,
some seventy feet from where we en-
tered, lying directly under a shelving
rock, the body of a man wrapped in
some dingy cloth.like substance. We
did not know it was the body of a man
at first, and were not positive that it
was until we had gotten it outside the
cave.
"Mr. Boyd discovered the body,
and when we moved it from under the
rock, my son found several large snd
beautiful pebbles where the body
had lain, and small round vessel
some four inches in diameter and
about two inches in height, shaped
very much like an inkstand with a
handle; this and the stones or pebbles
he put in his pocket. We took the
the body at once and went out Of the
cave. The cloths With which it was
wrapped were very rotten, and when
we laid the body down after leaving
the cave they had nearly all been rub
bed from it. What were left crumbled
like burnt paper.

found it to be the dried-up remains of

A sANcrrMoN1oUs POKER PLAYER.

About two years ago Missouri riv-
er seamboat left for Fort Benton with
a party of rough and well-to-do miners
on board. Among the passengers we're
also three or four "brace. men," and
before arriving at Sioux City they had,
generally, cleaned out the pockets of
the miners. The boat stopped at Sioux
City to wood up, aad found among
others waiting TO get on board, a min
isterial looking personaga, with the
longest aud most solemn countenance
on him you can we'll imagine. He
was dressed in a suit Of black, wore a
white stovepipe hat and choker collar,
ornamented with black neck hand.
kerchief.
Well, he got on board, and the boat
started down the stream. For two
days he was unnoticed by the passen-
gers, but one of the sports at last
thought he saw chance to make some
thing ont of the sad and melancholy
individual. The latter would once or
twice a day step up to the bar, and,
with voice that was as mild and gen
tie as a maiden's ask for "a glass OF
soda, if you please" and then he
would pull ont roll of bills from his
pocket and take cut quarter from
their interior layers. Then he would
say 10 the bai keeper, as if under a
thousand obligations. "Thank you
sir" and walk aft again as if about to
commit suicide.
This thing had gone far enough, and
the gambler | have spoken of at last
approached him.
"Would you like a game of seven

Just to pass away the time. Let us

"My good friend, I do. not know
anything concerning cards; cannot
play them"
"Well, come along, we'll show you
how to DO it," And the mild gentle
man in black after some further pro.
tests, at length consented.
They showed how twas done, and
they played several games. The gen.
