is but fair that the taxpayers Of that

brief description of this machine for cut
ting and planning lumber direct from the
log, of which some mention has heretofore
been made in our columns. All the details
OF the invention could hardly be fully un-
derstood without picture or plan; but the
main features are as follows The work is
done by sharp and powerful knife, II
inches long, which is attached directly to
the piston-rod Of a steam cylinder, having a
stroke Of 10 feet, At each back stroke Of
this cylinder the knife is drawn through the
log, cutting off a veneer, or board, of any

They were beautiful eyes, but they were

A FEARFUL RIDE.
Mail-carrier Caught Betwesn tho Draw

Mail-carrier Caught Between tho Draw
bars OF Two Cars and carried 10 Miles
CRAwroRDsvrLLE, Ind. March 17.-It
was fearful ride that James Galbraith had
on a Monon freight train yesterday. Gal
braith is mail carrier at Linden, IL miles
out of Charlottesville Yesterday afternoon
he got the mail from the north-bound train
and started for the postofilce, climbing be-
tween two cars of freight train that was
standing on the switch.
While in the act OF climbing through, the
train started, and his legs were caught be-
tween the drawbars. There was no brake
for him to seize, SO, In terrible agony as he
was, he seized the narrow blocks along the
ends Of the drawbars and pluckily held on
for the awful ride Of IS miles, his legs being
crushed to a jelly as the cars bumped and
Numbered along over the rough road bed.
1t seems almost miraculous, but the man
did not faint till the train stopped in Craw-
fordsville. He was at once discovered and
taken from his place Of torture. He can
hardly recover.
