The Surprising Rapidity With Which Log,
Are Converted Into boards.

The surprising Nnptdtty With which Logs
Are Converted Into boards.
Huge trunks of trees float lazily down
the Ottawa and its affluents for hum
dreds of miles, till they reach row of
monsters. full of greedy teeth within,
which straddle over the current. Here
the trunks. all slippery and dripping,
are caught up at one end of a shed and
issue from the other, literally in few
minutes, in such finished planks as you
might buy from carpenter at Noting
Hill. The way in which great log,
ten or twelve feet round. is hoisted
fresh from the water. laid upon a
track, pinned rigidly down in an in
slant, and then, suddenly, by means of
a great whirling saw. finds one side of
himself as fiat rs wall, is almost tru-
culent. You expect him to cry out.
But he is sliced up before he has time
to think. saw one of the smaller
trunks cut into ight three-inch twenty
one feet planks in seven seconds. In q
very few minutes more these were trim
med and thrust out into the building
word: so far ready for use. Large
and small trees are disposed of at an
equal rate. Some half dozen mouths,
in a row, within one shed, keep COB
bling them up at the same time. and
sending them out in clean deal boards
without any appearance of chips, saw
dust or rounded outside slabs. These
all disappear rapidly through holes in
the floor, and no litter accompanies the
neat procession of planks which make
their appearance at the land end of the
shed, and are rapidly carried off in
trucks. The accumulation of deals
at Ottawa is of course enormous. When
you look down from the terrace behind
the houses of Parliament the river banks
far inland are seen to be brown with
square stacks of prepared timber await
ing export. And much of the water is
like Attorney cream. That is from the
saw-dust, which is whirled down the
river from the mills. When a steamer
traverses these yellow plains their more
appropriate resemblance to wood re-
ours, for the sheet of spray springs from
her bows like coils of shavings from
plane.-lnteriOr.

But l gathered at last from Russell that
he had found me in a sort of semi
insane condition before the portrait of a
handsome woman whose charms nv
distorted vision had idealized into those
of saint; that my nerves and brain
were thoroughly demoralized from the
combined influences of pain, morphine
and liquor. Understanding my con-
dition and my horror of tOoth-pulling,
he had decoyed me to the office of a
prominent dentist. With difficulty they
subdued my insane rawlings and finally
administered an anaesthetic, and under
its influence succeeded in relieving me
of a well-worn but tenaciously-cling cling
tormentor. In my frenzy, as the tnal
pull came with crash. l grasped
a pair of forceps and leveling them
at an imaginary foe, uttered wild yell
that would have delighted Pawnee

of a sanguinary conflict with favored
rival for a fair lady's smiles; that the
brand of Cain was not upon my brow
and the stain of murder on my hand.
How much the memory of that beauti-
full picture, or the events connected
with it may have to do with present
circumstances of my life can not say,
but certain it is that I am . confirmed

not be misunderstood in the light of

The New JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This ar
ticle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871, and is handled by the sole general agent,
Mr.. Ohas. p Knight, 80 west Lombard street 1t
has been used extensively on public and private
buildings and the best testimonial as to the gen
era excellence of the article is the fact that 1T has
never failed to give entire satisfaction. None but
the best materials are used in compromising the
Enamel Paint and wherever it has been applied
the general excellence of the work and beauty OF
finish show for themselves and any person OF ex-
perience needs no better evidence as to its utility
and value. These paints-all colors, which are
shown upon sample cards-are put up in gallon
cans and mixed ready for use, which IS great
advantage as compared with the ordinary paints
in the matter of handling as well as OF applying
them The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality
and Mr.. Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore,
handles immense quantities of it, showing that 1t
is not new to the public, but is really staple ar
ticle the demand for it increasing with each year.
Many of the finest buildings in Baltimore have
been covered with this paint, and whore properly
applied it has failed to give entire satisfaction
The residence of II. G. Longneeker, in Iowson-
town, has lately had two coats of this paint ap
piled to it and the manner in which it is covered
and the excellence of the finish speak for them
selves. Those who propose doing any painting
are invited to inspect this house and see for them
selves that everything we have said about the
Enamel Paint is facts. We have 40 hesitation
in recommending it.

munity. He did not settle up his accounts with
| the postofice department. before leaving Summer

| to visit Washington for that purpose. He also
| told his wife he intended to spend Sunday in hi

Mcclure received a letter from her husband, en-
| closing a small sum of money, saying she woulC
| never see him again and that if he remained
| things might have been worse. Mrs. Mcclure
was greatly distressed, and at her request Mr.

Mr.. Mcclure. He ascertained that Mcclure had
as he expected, spent last Sunday week with hi
| friends at SummerielO station, and had drawn, II

of A. Mcclure & Co. In another place severa
hundred dollars were due the firm, which he coul'
have drawn but did not Nothing has been hear

night last log stable on the property of Mr.. W.

being done. The loss is small. Had the fire &C.
CURED the night previous, when the wind was
very high, it would have been impossible to have
saved Mr.. Atkinson's new residence, which is
quite near the burned stable.

In the spring and fall of the year this road is the
best we have for speeding purposes, but in the
summer, when the hot pours Town upon 1t, it
becomes baked up and is a very undesirable road
for fast horses. Why the owners of this popular
drive do not improve it, so that it will attract
road drivers all the season, am at loss to con-

dicious outlay, the road could be made very sat-
