A Potsdam On. - paper OF late
date gave the following remarkable in
stance of q proposed raising of sunken
timber from the bottom of St. LawFenoe
river: Zone Benjamin Campbell, after
long search, has found an immense raft
of oak timber which his father allowed
TO sink In the st. lawrence river at the
beginning of the war of 1872. When
was declared he was taking the timber
to the Quebec market, but fearing q cap
turs without money payment to him. he
sunk the valuable timber in 10 feet of
water of the Hammond shore. A de-
scription Of the locality left by the old
man has enabled the con to find the
hiding place. II he raises the raft, be

for the saving Of the timber. Deep

extremely difficult 10 get them out. A
number of firms already have men in
the woods cutting and hauling the logs
short distances. Much work will be
done before winter. and the logs will be
hauled 70 the streams and rivers after
the snow comes. Atwell a Mcleod. Of
Saltwater, did an extensive business
last winter in she district where the
trees had been blown down by the
Wind. and they will probably again

Ladies and Tramcar Accidents.

The reason why so many children are
run over by tramcars is that these We.
hicles are made to stop too often. The
driver, having to accomplish his jour
ney within n given time, quickens his
speed after every stoppage; and he can
not, like the coachmen OF other car.
,riagcs, pull up his horses short or swerve
from his course. If, therefore, any per.
son trying to skip out of his way Stun
bles over the rails there is sure to be IN
accident, and generally fatal one.
Ladies, we are sorry to observe, are
the greatest offenders in the matter OF
