DEADENING NoIsE.-The Workshop
Companion gives the following practical
hints to those who carry On industrial
operations involving considerable
pounding: First, rubber cushions
under the legs of the workbench
Chanabers's Journal describes factory
where the hammering of fifty copper
smiths was scarcely audible in the room
below, their benches having under each
leg rubber cushion. Second, kegs of
sand or sawdust applied in the same
way. A few inches of sand or sawdust
is first poured into each key; on this Is
laid a board or block upon which the
leg rests, and around the leg and block
is poured fine dry sand or sawdnst.
Not only all noise, but all vibration and
shock are prevented; and an ordinary
anvil, so mounted, may be used in q
dwelling house without annoying the
inhabitants. To amateurs whose work
shops are usually placed in dwelling
houses, this device affords cheap and
simple relief from great annoyance.

We learn from Mr. Owen Dir who

which appeared TO be very much fright
ened and began crying. The child Is
represented as being quite fair, with
haLen hair, dressed as the Indians, and
exceedingly timii in the presence OF
whits. This timidity may be induced,
however, by the indians pr-judicing It
ngaiunt the whites by hofrid tales. The
band broke camp last week, and it is
presumed they have returned to the
Uintuh agency. Tabiona. the cbief,
was with the band. As they belong
to Major KIitch!ow's agency, perhaps
lie can explain the psesencs OF this
white child in their midst. The Indians
are very reticent about her, and the only
information the settlers ut Spanish
Fork could get was that she had been
found in Colorado.

prevalent in Faribault and Martin
