BURINGTON's ToBoGGAN INDUSTRY.

/ Few OF our readers, we venture TO say.
/ have any idea of the foot hOld the Canadian
sport, tobogganing, has already secured
IN this country. y visit to the factory Of
johnson, Emerson x Co., the tobog-
gan manufacturers, on Battery street,
would open the eyes of a good many of
our citizens who think they know a good
/ uthl about the industries of the place The
capacity OF the factory is 1900 toboggans a
| week, and it Is now driven to ill its or
ders The factory Is filled with toboggans
IN All stages OF completion, and the place
| Is Velltable hive of Industry Carload
! shipments are made, during the present
rush, every few days, and when il is known
that car holds 500 tOboggans, some idea
can be found of the demand for he Star"
machines.
The best toboggans in the world are
made IN Burlington, and johnson, Emer-
son ~ Co. own all the patents of any Value
which have yet been issued for toboggans
in this country. The peculialIties of the
tOhUggaus made by this firm are ,uped
tleNibilty and strength; aud their patent.
broadly cover these points. Their patents
are 50 broad that nothing but the old
fashioned Hat surface machine can be
made without infringing them: and as a
matter of tdCt none but the old STYLE is
made anywhere in the United States ev
cept in Burlington.
The star is made peculiarly flexible
and strong, some POO screws being used in
It's construction. The new patent side
rail, fastened only at the front end and
running loosely through eyes on the sides
ADDS materially To its tleXibility and dura-
billy. The patent bearing surfaces, in
which there are only three primary bear

same time making perfectly flexible
Those who have not had some expert
ence in tobogganing do not often under
stand what constitutes a good machine.
and the novice usually selects a stiff To-
boggan as being the strongest. 4 very
small dose of experience will quickly cure
him OF that foolishness. The aim of the
scientific toboggan makers is to.pet The
fleXiblllty combined with the
strength which comes from perfect ma
terlal and careful work. There are scien-
INC reasons for the strength which comes
from ileNlbility and no one who under
stands the strain which toboggan is sub
Jected to would think OF using stiff

THE COMING CARNIVAL.
ENCOUR CLING OUTLOOK FOR THE
WEEK OF WINTER SPORTS.
The railroads of New England Decide to
Cooperate with the Local Managers
Encouraging Interest at Home
Success Assured.

]
The progress which is being made in the
preparations for the carnival by the various
committees is excellent and it promises
well for the most superlative success of
that event. Another cause for encourage
ment is the fact that many residents in the
large cities not only know that we are to
nave carnival but are making prepare
tons to participate in its pleasures This
Is shown by the fact that inquiries are be
ing received almost daily from residents
of New York and Boston in relation to the
carnival, and Others have already engaged
rooms for that week. The most encour.
lug announcement, however, is that con
| famed IN the following despatch received
| from Boston Wednesday.nght:
me New England General Passenger
Agents association at their monthly
meeting ,held here today, adopted the
same reduced excursion rate, from ALI
points in New England to the carnival of
winter sports at Burlington IN February.
So, as were made last winter From
Boston, Salem, Lowell, Lawrence,
Worcester and Springfield 81, from
Troy and Albany So from New
same reduced proportions. Tickets will
he good going February T. to IL inclusive
and good to return till February * The
PRINTERS are now AT work on handsome
nrn,,rn,",oa ,''''''"'0 P"s'' i"i 'ue oilc'"i
This aunoun, ement WAS tho only tbiro
lacking to ensure the success of the car
nlNal, as the interest manifested in the
PROJECT ny the residents of Burlington
was lar beyond that which gave us the
SratliynEly successful carnival of last
winter, Dut now that we have the a.
Snrahce OF the cooperation Of the rail
loals OF New England, the proper effort
on the part OF our residents, which Will
certainly he made, will ensure Il
success OF which Burlington may
be proud. The various committees
are doing their part nobly, the prepara-
IONS already beng well advanced. That
theN VIII receive generous financial sup
porl from our residents there can he no
doubt. Burlington people have too good
Il reputation for liherahty not TO support
Il project which while 1t appeals to their
pubic spirit Is sure to result in material
benefit To the city. The carnival of last
winter was great success, considering
the obstacles overcome, but the interest
manifested by our residents as well rs the
ieeing among those of the large cities
Ju>tllltS the tNpeCl alton that the carnival
next February will far Surpass it in point
OF preparations, programme and attend
ance.

side Post, No. 8, Department of Potomac, GA. r.,
on the evening of Dec. 80 last. showing the
movements of the Charlottesville campaign
prior to the night Of Thursday, April 80, 1863,
when Gen. Hooker had at Charlottesville the
troops of the Fifth, Eleventh aud Twelfth and
Hancocks and Frenchs Divisions Of the
Second Corps. numbering in all not less than
$4,000 men. Maj. Mills claims that the battle
of Charlottesville was lost before it was fought.
His papers will throw much additional light on
campaign and battle as much misunderstood
and more misrepresented, perhaps than any
other of the war.

had started early. Pell-mell through the brush
they went, and the blue-b -blouses after them.
Halt, there, or I'll blow We into the middle
o. next week." yelled ST. as he closed up on a
ragged specimen of the Southern Confederacy
whose wind had given out. ST thought it would
be a tall feather in his hat if he could take a
prisoner and march him back.
The Johnny" gave one glance at his pur-
suer, hesitated, and was lost. He saw that s.!
meant business and surrendered at discretion.
Come long with mel" said 81, his eyes
glistening with pleasure and pride ST marched
him back and delivered him to the Colonel.
"Well done, my brave fellow!" said the Col
onel. "This is a glorious day for the 200th
Indiana, and you've taken its first prisoner.
What's your name, my boy?"
Josiah Klegg, sir!" said ST, blushing to the
very roots of his hair
"What company do you belong TOP"
Company Q, sir J" and 81 saluted the officer
as nicely as he knew how.
"Pll see your Captain tonight, Mr.. Klegg
and you shall be rewarded for your good con-
duet. You may now return to your company"
1t was the proudest moment of Sis life up to
date. He stammered out his thanks to the
Colonel, and then, throwing his gun up to a
right shoulder shift. he started off on canter
to rejoin the skirmishers.
That night ST Klegg was the subject Of a
short conversation between his Captain and the
