The pretty rice paper that looks SO pure
pith OF a great tree; not at all as we make
paper from poplar wood, but by simply
cutting it into thin slices. And thousands
of years before Moses was born, the Egyp-
tians made paper from the great papyrus,
or paper reed, by carefully peeling out the
thin layer between the bark and the heshy
stem, and pressing and drying the pieces
into sheets. Many story Of ancient times
has been found written ON this paper and
stored away among the linen wrappings Of
the Egyptian mumies, just as well preserv-
ed and as legible as if it had been written
last year.

A BIG LOAD Yesterday, says a southern
Colorado exchange, we saw man, a woman,
good-sized boy, two babies, five or six
blankets, buffalo robe, and two strings of
chill ON q single pony. Every available
inch from his ears to the root of his tail
was taken. The poor animal was very
small, thin as towel-raelz, of a siekly.
pale color, and one fore-leg was about five
inches shorter than the other-the knee
joint of that leg was very large, SO we sup
posed that the missing part of the leg was
driven there by the weight above, so that
when it was relieved the leg would stretch
oublike at1lrtle's head. In fact all his legs,
were short, and the crookedest convention
of legs that we ever saw. Incredible as it
may seem, the wiry little animal passed us
ON a trot. When he came down on that
short leg, and the family .kerpluinped 4
with it, it would have made the Oldest man
living laugh d 9TH the children were sleep
ing soundly, for the motion OF the horse
served all the purposes of a cradle.

KILLED INTHE MINE-A Times correspon-
dent at Homecoming sends the following ac-
count of the death ola well known miner
which occurred on the 9Th instant:
At one o'clock to-day Mr.. Adam Croll re-
ceived injuries in the American Coal Com
pany's mine here that resulted in his death
at eighteen minutes to five. He was work
ing in the above named company's new
mine in Frederick heading, taking out n
sprag from under some breast coal, getting
ready to let it fall when the coal fell upon Il
prop some distance from him, knocking it
out, falling towards him, striking him with
terrific force on his head, rendering him
speeches., breaking in his skull and intlict-
ing two deep gashes in the back ofhis head.
AS soon as possible his friends gathered
around him and found the quickest and
best way to get him out Ofthc mine was to
put him in mine car, which was done In
this manner he was brought out ofthe mine
and taken over the tram road to the en-
trance of the old mine, where they produced
and placed him upon stretcher that is
always kept there for the purpose. He was
carried by six of his comrades with dozen
more following to relieve them. They were
aware of his condition. While he was be-
ing brought IN tne car lncV stopped seNela!
times to see if life was in him. He was a
good, upright, industrious man, and one OF
our best citizens. He leaves wife and
four small children.
The same correspondent details the fol-
lowing smash-up:
This evening the chain. that held three
loaded mine cars, holding two tons each,
and descending the incline plane of the
American Coal Company, broke at the
place where it was fastned to the wire rope
The cars were about in the center; they
dashed down the 'lne with frightful We
locity and were not retarded in their course
until they struck the same number of emp
ty hoppers on the railroad track below the
dump house, completely demolishing every
thing, and making perfect wrccl; al
around.

Mr. EDITOR AS the Welsh people form
a great part OF the readers of your valuable
paper in this section, and as they are pro-
verbal for their cenadlgortcch, or, love Of

little speech in which he hoped the meeting
would be a success, and that every one
would be amused The exercises then pro-
ceeded with the following programme,
mainly in Welsh;

les" by William Hopkins.
2 Recitation-"The Welsh Language,

3. Impromptu Eag'yni0n, or Epigrams,
by AM'ytcyft and Dece Na.
The word, epigram, does not give the
exact idea ola Welsh E1glyn--a verse much
liked by the Welsh, in which the vowels
and consonants are so placed as to make
jingling rhyme very musical in the Welsh
language. The following is an en9Iyn in
English on the gout -.

WE have received the Annual Catalogue
of Williamsport Pa.) Dickinson Seminary,
large and prosperous educational institu-
ton. In location, accommodations, eX-
penses and objects, this school is probably
inferior to none. 1t has long since obtained
wide reputation for its efficient systems Of
instruction and conduct, and many, now
eminent in various professions, owe most Of
their distinction to the opportunity which
placed them in and graduated them from
the walls of this institution. To a great
portion of this community this school has
special claim to attention in the fact that
the President-Rev. Z. J. Gray-himself an
alumnus of this institution, was formerly a
resident of Frostburg and pastor OF one of
our largest churches. Those who have
children or wards-young gentlemen or la
dies-whom they desire to send away to
school, we feel sure cannot do better than to
place them under the superintendent of
Mr. Gray.

Mechanical Ventilation at Borden Shaft

border SHAFT, June II, 1874.
A furnace for mechanical ventilation i'll
Borden Shaft has been contemplated for n
long time, b t was deferred on account Of
business of more pressing nature. 1t is no"
completed and dlaWs sp,endidiy. The
heating surface is 4 by 4! feet, and stands
about 10 feet from the stack through which
the smoke and heat escapes. This stack IS
Al feet in diameter, 81 feet high, and stands
within a shaft feet in diameter and 66 feet
high. The furnace presents a beautiful
arched front over which the f0u! air escapes
through the shaft which surrounds the
smoke stack of the furnace. TIE furnace
is capable of consuming tons of coal in 81
hours, though half that quantity will be sut-
ticicnt to produce the required draft The
current of pure air cners the shaft from
which the coal is hOistcd and reaches the
furnace through different air-courses. BY
this process all the miners do not inhale the
same air.
The many advantages derived from me-
chanical ventilation, governed by the above
principles, will be readily perceived by the
scientific reader, and reflects great credit on

A Story for Grown Up Children.

There was once an old lady who had
seventeen sons. stalwart and bold. OF
various creeds, beliefs and doctrines. The
old lady owned large tract Of land, and
her boys located thereon. Ten of the boys
went to farming and seven of the BOYS
remained at the great bend Of large river
to take care OF the produce and chip tie
same to iorelgH countries. o. the ten boys
I WHO Wen; farming nine were of one belief
ana one o. another: of :hose who remained
by the "ate:-side five thought and believed
ike The one Ill the country, the other two
sided With their nine brethren of the field.
A tim. came when. by an edict, it became
necessary that q ruler or chief should be
chosen .or this fair land. Prior to this
edict, for may years, the nine lads in the
country had be, " held slaves to their more
favored brother. md the two by the water.
side in tho great ,:ity. had been also held
as bondsmen to the I've. But time and the
sword had changed all this. \. the period
of the edict all were alike iree to choose
the one who was most fit to yale.
1t came to pass that the five WHO had
formerly owned and controlled their two
brethren il the great city joined with their
bro.he. who had been master in tie fields
and sought to defeat the choice Of the nine
who had worked SO faithfully at the plow
DIS bondsmen and the two who had toiied
as slaves in the city. 4 great tumu!t was
the result. and both parties claimed their
own ruler. The old lady. thei: mother,
though at a distance. saw rishtfnlly into
the merits of her Guarreiins children and
recognized tho rights OF the ten over tie
seven.
Twenty-four moons passed away when
the iordiy brother Of the fields, finding him
self driven TO work as we'll as his bre. hren,
resolved to drive ont al! those who laboreG
unless they should agree to the ruler Of his
choice and that OF his FIVE brethren Of the
city. This they refused to do, whereupon.
he being vecseI il war, he afflicted them
soreiy and oppressed them. Hearing this
the five OF the city set upon thei. two
brethren. and. being stronger and moro
numerous, compelled them to silence and
disarned them.
They also soush: 20 put up their own
ruler and gloriic! themselves greatly.
When the old lady heard Of these cruel
deeds. she forthwith sent many s.alwart
ard brave sons. with orders tha. they
should make the bad boys in Louisiana be-
have. This the bad boys agreed to do. and
will probably kee? their word-as long as
their big brother. remain on the spot.
