A CHURCH INCIDENT.

An amusing incident occurred recently at
q church in Connecticut. The clergyman
desired to cali the attention of the congrega-
ton to the fact that it being the last Sunday
in the month, he would administer the rite
of baptism to children. Previous to having
entered the pulpit he had received from one
of the elders, who, by the way, was quite
deaf, a notice to the effect that, as the chill
dren would be present that afternoon, and
he had the new Sunday school books ready
for distribution, he would have them ready
to sell to all who desired them. After the
service the clergyman began the notice of
the baptismal service thus g.:
"All those having children and desiring
to have them baptised will bring them this
afternoon.'
At this point the deaf elder, hearing the
name of children snpposing it was some
thing in reference to his books, rising, said:
And all those having none and desiring
them will be supplied by me for the sum OF
twenty-five cents each"

A BACHELOR permitted himself to be i'm

was nearly the death Of him. He stopped
to gaze at a sweet cherub OF a hundred and
fifty pounds, with ears like full grown cab

and lungs OF more than Keely motor power.
While wondering whether the infant would
develop into a President of the United
States or disgrace his doting parents by
joining a base ball club, the youngster
opened its entire face back to the ears. and
set UP a yell. And such a yell !! Before the
bachelor could hurry away, the mother
caught her infant in her arms, and crooned.

From CcLFAx.-A young married
man who recently left here fSr Colfax,
in letter addressed to 4 friend ia this
city received here yesterday. states that
he Is tolerably well pleased with the
country and that he got there just in
time 10 secure a claim two and one
half miles from Colfax. Those who
come there now. be says, have 10 60 q
much greater distance from town TO
secure a claim. Colfax. he states. is q
lively little town with about five hun
dred inhabitants. Ii has six stores,
three hotels, two drug stores. one
church, three livery stables, one carriage
shop. three blacksmith shops, one
restaurant. one China wash house, one
grist and saw mill, a brewery. four
saloons, three butcher shops, one barber
shop. and to conclude with. more num-
erous law offices than Autumn leaves
in Vallambrosa" The surrounding
country is rough and billy, much like
the Puget Sound country before the
trees began to grow Immigrants are
coming in from every direction, ayerrg.
ing from ten TO twenty teams a y eek.
This has the effect TO make times
temporarily flush. The freight charges
from Portland are perfectly astonish-
ing, he says. and lumber and fuel arc q
dear morsel. He concluded by saying
that railroad communication with
Puget Sound is all that can make the
country amount to much in the future.

A LABoR-SAvISG DEvIcg-Mr. r

upon 8 very ingenious expedient for

onions aud other root crops. on very

Of land Of this description, very foul
with chick weed. pig-weed and other
pests tina, soil is heir to, which be
sowed early to onions As soon as the
weeds had come up thickly and before
the onions were up, he strewed the
patch with straw to . depth of about
three inches and burned it over. The
result was, the weeds were killed and
the vegetation of the onion seed only
fastened by warming up the soil. The
onions soon came up vigorous and clean
with good free start and many dol
lars worth Of time and labor in weed
inc saved. Mr.. Smith thinks the same
plan would work we'll with beets and
carrots, which take two weeks TO ger

thousands Of dollsas might be saved to
the farmers on Puget Sound in reduc-

PORT MADISON MILL SEAT
AND SHIP YARD.

PORT MADISON, May 9Th, 1878.
Ed. INTELIIGENCER In accord
ance with your desire to obtain further
information. statistics. facts and reli-
able figures bearing upon the subject
of Puget Sound and its lumber
interests" Ola Saturday last we set out
from Port Blakely, of which place We
sent you an account last week, in COM
pany with DR.. Morgan, on Mr.. Taylor's

pleasant ride of nine miles, your cores

county seat. just as the shrill whistle
of the mill announced the hour of six.
the sigma! to stop the saw. blow off the
steam, and call the boys to hash.
We found Port Madison larger and
more important place than we had
anticipated. The hotel is spacious
two story building and commands q
fine view of the mill and harbor. The
day after our arrival was Sunday. and
we had not the opportunity until Mon
day of seeing the works in actual opera
tion. We were, however. fortunate in
meeting with. and introducing ourself
to the superintendent, book-keeper and
other officials connected with this we'll
known establishment. 1t Is needless to
say that every available facility was
offered to the writer which could assist
him in carrying out the object of his
visit.
The mill was established at its
present location in 1854. and is now
worked, so we are informed by an in
corporation under the style of the
Meig's laundering and Ship Building
Company. At the time of writing
there arc about les men employed, and
the capacity of the mill is estimated
at 100, 900 feet per day. Extensive
improvements are being pushed rapidly
forward almost all the machinery
will be new, aud includes the latest
labor saving inventions. The dimen-
sions IT the mill proper are 33l feet in
length by sixty feet in width. A new
brick foundation for boilers is also be-
ing constructed on a plan suggested by
Mr.. Wallace, the Superintendent, and
is in many, If not all respects. superior
to anything of the kind we have ever
seen
We ascertained that last Summer o
piece of yellow fir. measuring ioxi9
inches 63 feet long and containing TO-,
OsO feet of lumber without knot in
it. was sawed and shipped from this
mill to Virginia City, Nevada, for min
ing purposes
There are probably few who have
resided for any number of years on the
North Pacific coast who arc not famil-

these Improvements, he will proceed to
extend the capacity of the railroad
wharf so as to admit of four vessels

San Francisco, he states. is good. and is
likely to increase with rapidity and u

coal will increase as fast as the company
can increase its facilities to supply it.
Lumber had not yet rallied. but is
likely to do so very soon, as this years

be moved.
