A GERMAN scientist claims that
by means OF an acid process he can
convert sawdust into q material firm
in texture and extremely hard, i'm.
penetrable by gimlet or nail, more
imperviouB to the action of the ele.
ments than the ordinary metals or
the common building stones, and prac
tically indestructible by fire. The
scientist also claims that it is much
stronger than timber for joists and
girders, and several times lighter
than iron or steel, and, above all,
the cost of manufacture is claimed tc
be so low as to bring it into direct
competition with both wood and iron.

Mr.. Editor: We think news is
just little scattering this week and
consequently you must not expect
much from us.
We had some very fine watermel-
Ions in town the 24th, grown by Nh.
w. NJ. Culbreth. We understand
that he has large patch of fine ones,
grown expressly for this town, and
If this be true, we say three cheers
for the watermelon man.
Crops in this section which have
been looking very bad for want of
rain seems very much revived by
the late showers. If the prospect
which are SO favorable at present
for an abundant harvest, continues
we think the farmers and all will
have cause for rejoicing.
We have been informed that the
Union Meeting which convened at
Clement two weeks since on Friday
Saturday and Sunday was 4 grand
success. The speaking was good,
and in fact every thing passed of
very nicely and quietly.
We wish to say that there were
some errors iii the last piece from
Autryville. Some typographical
errors, which of course were not
| made Intentionally.
Perhaps we will have something
to say next week, whether it b.
| interesting or not.
