The entertainment given by Prof.
Willoughby Reade in Morristown last
Thursday night was very much appre-
ciated by the large aud intelligent au-
dience present. Prof. Reade is a gen.
tleman of remarkable talents in the

perfectly he suits his facial features to
the different characters he represents
At all times, from the sublime To the
ridiculous, he holds his audience in adj
miratiOn and enjoyment. His represen-
tations Of THE Professor" in Mark
Twain's Innocents Abroad, 1.-THE Fat
Boy" in Pickwiek Papers, and GLOW
We Hunted Mouse" were especially
apt and life-like, and ELECTED much
laughter. Indeed, according to promise,
it was can evening of hearty laughter. "
Oue-third of the receipts of the enter
tainment-$9 G6-was donated to the
new Lutheran Church of this place.
Prof. Reade will, perhaps, give another
reading here in a few weeks, and will
again give benefit to the above Church.
The price of admission will be reduced.
Due notice of time and place will be
given. Those who wish TO spend an
evening of rare pleasure, and at the
same time contribute To a benevolent
cause, should not fail TO attend.

Straw humber.

There car be no question that straw
lumber is admirably adapted TO many
kinds of finishing work, barrels, table
and counter tops, fine doors and orna-
mental work and we are assured
that it can be produced and sold in
competition with wide walnut at
about one-half the price Of the latter.
The standard manufactured is in width
of thirty-tWo inches, a length Of
twelve feet, and a thickness core
spending to Tat of surfaced ards.
These dimensions may be varied to
suit such orders as may he given,
and embrace any WIdth,' length or
thickness. Unlike lumber, however,
narrower widths are the most costly.
The straw lumber may be ripped
with the haud-saW or the buZz-saW
may be run through the sticker for
the manufacture of mOuldings, and
take a nail or screw about as well as
oak. 1t may be finished with yarn
ish or with paint and is susceptible
to high polish. 1t is practically
water and tire-proof, being mauuGac-
tured 500 degrees of heat, and we are
assured has been boiled for some
hours without any apparent change
of structure. lis tensile strength is
greater than that of walnut or oak,
and its weight about One-fifth greater
thanthe former when dry. is made
from any kind Of straw, including
hemp and flax libre-in fact fi0m any
material that will make pulp-and a
ton Of straw will produce 2OO0 feet of
board. The pulp is rolled into thin
sheets, q number OF which, corre-
spending with the thickness Of the
lumber desired, are placed together
with peculiar cement, which is
claimed to be waterproof, and are
then rolled under a pressure sufn-
ctent to amalgamate them into a solid
mass, which may be worked with a
plane if desired.
When it is remembered that it
takes 100 years to grow a tree to ma
turity, suiting it to commercial pur-
poses-and tree producing 32.mch
lumber will require fully twice that
time-While 10000 feet per acre is a
large yield under the most favorable
circumstances, it will at once be real
lied that where 5000 feet can be taken
from an acre of ground for an Indeli-
mite number Of years, the process
which enables such result to be
accomplished, and which will yield
really valuable lumber, is one of
vast Importance. We look for .vaIu-
able results in the future in the man
ufacture of lumber from what is prar-
tically waste material. but which
will be produced in endless quantities
SO long as the United States main
tains its character as a grain, produc-

Roads and Bridges.

Canal Railroad Crossinss-Shan TOmIin-
 sons Bridge be a Free Roadway?
 The Committee on Roads and Bridges held a meeting last evening in rooms 10 and Il, City Hall, for the purpose of considering matters regarding f1agmen or gates at Nun son. Argyle and Shelton avenue crossings of
 the Canal railroad, Alderman Benton presid- ing. Cornelius Pierpont, Judge Sheldon,
 John E. Bassett, Cornelius Hill and John H.
 Barlow appeared before the committee. The
 opinion of these gentlemen was that fagmen
 at Munson street and Argyle street would be
 sufficient. Some of those present, however, did advocate the slowing of trains at city crossings to obviate the danger of accidents. No decision was reached, as the committee are to hold another meeting before the next | monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen. The committee also considered the ques- ton of making Tomlinson's bridge free bridge The committee were divided in thei1 I opinions, and it was hard to determine what | their final report would be. It was evident, l however, that they were unanimous in the 1 opinion that it should be free passway tc | the East Haven Cor New Haven) shore, but how this matter was to be accomplished 1T k the best interests of the city and town ap
 peared to be an open question. It was finally ! decided that the committee should hold ! another meeting, at which the owners of the Tomlinson bridge and the committee should ! hold consultation, and if possible reach g basis of agreement on which the committee can report to the Court of Common Council
 It would appear from what was disclosed last night that the committee are at loss tc
 know what course they should pursue. It i:
 evident, however, that no action will bt taken without advice of the Corporation I Connsal
