The other day one of our moon-eyed'
ceiesfa1s. wiifse eafryhg 4 heavy piece of
timber, was aeeosfed and twftted by an
other heatfsen Chimes 10 to his powers Of
endurance and ability TO perform the Job.
He threw the piece Of timber, lspon the,
ground, and producing % In coin offered
that a1nottnt as a wager fiiat fIie second
Chinanan eonidnst himself perform the.
labor. The wager was at once accepted,
and Cllfnaman No. 2 started with Che tim,
Der. However, he had scarcely made ~
half block when lie WIS conpelled to-
weaken, to the great amusement Of the
bystanders and the modification OF John,
who gave nap his coin with an expressiolE
on his countenance too woful for anything
0oTdi- Never ciiide others for their ina
biIity 70 perform that which you yourself
can not accomplish!
Messrs. Hurl q Co. have contracted
with Mr.. q. g. Smith, of SpFin@neid,,
Lame conntys for Que OF his 32-iuct turbine
water wheelss TO ba used ~ 6lleir mill,
which win be put In as soon as possible.
IN the nieantime, and while waiting f0r The,
wheel to be cast, Mr.. s. win put I'm q simI-.
lar wheel for Messrs. Clement ID Corsum.
for their mill on the Santian, the only
differences between the wheels being, tile
hrst viii be Of iron and tile Latter will be Of
wood. The increasing business of Hurd g.
Go. requiring more power than they now
have, has compelled tl,e putting In Of
another and larger wheel. Mr.. Smith has
had 30 years experience In water wheels,
and guarantees a forty five horse power,
after an examination OF sa.e fall Of water.
He has several wheels In operation. One
in saw-mill a. SpringGeId, we are told,
will start the saw when dead ia ate Io0,
without gigging back.
Well, the pacsoscopic spelling mania has
seen its BEST days; the logon,acily has pre-

When the orthotTapASeal and crEaioevlsaf
