Cattle Shows.

Of cattle shows, which are supported at
the public expense, and without paying a

the attending expenses for fences, for
tracks, stables, grand stands and barns,
have had a severe "run' in this State
like the mcasels, they seem to be "catch-

Axes and Modes of Using Them.

The Northwestern Lumherman thus al
lud.s to the variety in axes. and more
particularly to the manner of using them.
We note that the New Jersey d0uble-bit-
ted axe for use III the pine woods has been
omitted. In the hands OF Il novice it is an
lWkWard and dangerous implement. but
when it is in hands accustomed to its use
il is Il valuable implement. To one using
it for the first time it is difficult to strike
Al fair blow. from the fact that its peculiar
formation alters the balance. The Ium-
herman says: "I'hc STYLES OF axes differ
with nationaltics, \ Canadian chopper
prefers Il broad Square blade, With the
weight more in the blade than elsewhere
the handles being short and thick. \
DuWneast logger, one from Maine, selects
"a long, narrow head. the blade in crescent
shape the heaviest part in the top of the
head above the eve. New York cutters
select broad crescent shaped blade, the
whole head rather short. and the weight
balanced evenly above and below the eye,
that is, where the handle goes through.
Y Western backWootlSman selects Il blade,
the corners only rounded off, and the eye
holding the weight Of the axe. The Amer
lean chopper, us a rule, select a long.
straight handle. The difference in hold
ling is that Il DoWn-caster takes hold
with both hands OF the extreme end, and
throws his blow easily and gracefully,
with a long sweep, over his shoulder 4
Canuck chops from directly over his head,
with the right hand well down on the
handle to serve in jerking the blade ont
OF the stick. y Nestelncr catches hold
at the end of the handle, his hands about
three inches apart, and delivers his blows
rather directly over the right shoulder.
In fact, an expert in the woods can tell

The curious submerged forest at Jcn-
ness's Beach, Rye, NIL, from which the
sand has recently been worn away by tile
action of the recent storms, presents ut
present singular appearance. Huge
stumpS and logs cover the beach at low
tide, some of the logs being over two feet
in diameter When cut into, though they
appear discolored to the depth of two
inches or thereabouts, the wood at great
er depth is as sound and fresh as that of
any living tree. The stumps and logs
sometimes remain covered for ten wears
and then exposed for Il time by the action
of some heavy storm. They have appar-
emily been exposed to the action OF the sea
for many centuries.
