A Skillfully Executed Job.

A new and interesting experiment il
house moving was recently performed il
New York city, at No 116 West Tween
ty-tourth street, in the presence of 1
number of prominent builders and in
spectors About month ago the Socie
ty st. Crescent de Paul determined t.
build ON the vacant lots in rear of theil
Twenty third street building. A survey
of the land being made, it was discovered
that the wall Of the five story brick liv,
cry stable adjoining, occupied by 5. G.
Mott, encroached eighteen inches on
their property, The owner was notified
10 remove the wall TO the eastward, and
Weeks and Brothers, builders, were au-
thorized to tear it down and rebuild Mr..
Weeks did not like to pull down the
wall, and hit upon plan for moving it
bodily.
Ten yellow pine timbers, u by II
inches, planed on the upper surface, were
let in horizontally under the wall, at
equal distance, just above the foundation,
and at right angles to its face. Nee
dies" builders call them. The upper
surface of each needle was profusely
creased, and smaller needle, planed
surface down, inserted along each larger
one. Spur braces fixed at the foot in
these upper timbers held the wall plumb
The jack screws, working horizontally,
were set at the ends, on one side of the
ten upper needles. This being done, an
eighteen inch slit was taken off vertically
from the stable building just inside the
wall AT Z o'clock in the morning, says
the New York World, man at each
jack screw began to work it, and the
wall moved an inch safely. Go on !! "
said the boss, with some little excitement.
and this time one of the ten men did not
work his rack as much as the rest. The
overseers were little nervous at this,
but the wall carried the lazy needle
along with the rest. BY 10 o'clock the
1890 square feet of wall were pushed up
tight against the open side of the stable,
and the whole was perfectly plumb and
mistaken. The men in the stable pur-
sued their usual avocations during this
performance, which attracted crowd of
spectators

THE DoDGE CASE. The trial of Mrs
Dodge of Middlesex, in the Washington
county court, resulted in her acquittal
by the jury, after coming into court
twice for instructions, and standing, at
the outset, four for acquittal to eight for
conviction. We think that the public
generally were somewhat surprised at
the verdict. TO most men, going into a
house, getting a loaded pistol, carrying
it concealed into garden, provoking an
attack, and then, without the slightest
effort to escape the danger, shooting a
man, even if he did approach her with
an uplifted hoe, doesn't look like self
defence. If Mrs Dodge had staid in
the house, there would have been no fuss
and if these men insulted her stole her
potatoes, as she claims - she could have
prosecuted them to the full extent of the
law. The use of deadly weapons ought
to be rebuked in this community, and
while having every sympathy with Mrs.
Dodge, her acquittal is to be deplored
on public grounds. Montpelier Watch

ESCAPED BURIAL ALIvE.-A remark.
able escape from burial alive happened
recently in the town of Bradford. Mass.
The facts of the case, according to a cor
respondent, are as follows: A lady in
the above town had been sick for some
time, and to all appearances, had died,
andarrangements were accordingly made
for the funeral to take place on the third
day after her supposed decease. The
preparations for burial had progressed
so far that on the day of the funeral the
lady was placed in a coffin, when it was
observed that one of her eyes was parti-
ally opened. Nothing, however, was
thought of it, as it was supposed to be
the result of muscular contraction, and
the arrangements for burial were all
completed, when the supposed corpse as
tonlshed her attendants by asking to be
placed ON her side. The house of mourn
ing was suddenly turned into one of low
and at last accounts the lady was doing
finely, with every prospect of a complete
recovery.
