TIMBER FOR LASTING.

Two car loads of pig timber or last
blocks passed through Barre this
morning billed to Maplewood, Mass.
This makes a total of so Car loads
which has gone to Massachusetts since
the fall, principally to Medford.
This timber is used for making
boot and shoe lasts and is very highly
thought of for that purpose. Con-
sidering this fact, why is it thatO a
factory is not built right on the
ground where the timber is cut? 1t
would be a great saving, for instead
of paying the freight twice it would
only be necessary to pay on the fir
nished article. If the Central Ver-
mont conclude to run their road
through Barre to N orth Royalton as
stated in the TELEGRAM, placing
Barre, Williamstown and Montpelier
on the main line. then all these plac es
will have chance to talk to any in
dustry that might want to establish
in those places.

horse was bid off to Oliver Matthews,
book-keeper for Mr.. Boutwell,, at $50.
Sometime after Col. Clark returned
from Chickanlauga, L. S. Kinds of

and asked Mr.. Bop-- !. III TO keep it for
him until Thanksgiving, when he said
he would come and take the animal.
He has never come after the horse or

GETTING THROUGH.
Mackie. Hussey & Co. Gradually Co.
ing Out Of Business, and Barclay
Bros. Commencing to Move.

One of our old business firms is
gradually dying away and before
many weeks more will be out OF
existence entirely. This is the firm
of Mackie, Hussey & Co., who are
now letting their men so as fast as
they get through with their jobs.
Since last week a whole gang has got
through and by the end of this week
many more men will be away from
there.
1t was understood that they were
to have everything ready by May Is,
SO that Barclay Brothers could move
in there, but although most of the
work will be finished then it will be
sometime before the firms business
will be wound up.
Barclay Brothers intend commcnc-
iny the end of this week drawing
stone to their new quarters, but it
will not be before June 1st that they
will start their men to work.
The shed room of the Mackie,
Hussey & Co. plant will not allow of
any more gangs being placed on, but
will not diminish the gangs any SO
that the same number of men will be
employed by Barclay Brothers as here
tofore.
The polishing mill will likely be en-
larged as the intention is to take two
of the wheels from the old shed and
add to those now in the new one.
So far as the shed room not being
sufficient Barclay Brothers say that
if it is necessary they will build and
will keep on building according to
the needs of the business and that
eventually they will have the largest
granite manufacturing plant in the
world.

The tidings from Mafeking are
gloomier than ever. Everybody there

have nothing but quart OF that sub

gone.

ing the materials used in the manu-

statutes and that it would betray
trade secrets, but the resolution was
adopted by big majority.

of the fight for the Grout bill in the
committee on agriculture. The reso.
luton is as follows:
Resolved, That the secretary of the
treasury be, and he is hereby request
ed, to furnish the House Of Represen-

Pfttsburg's Natural Gas Supply

PfttsburG's Natural Gas Supply.
From the New York Tribune.
A. V. Sterling of Pittsburg said recently
ticaliy over, and our city is dirtier than
ever. I went to Pittsburg to live in 1856,
and stayed at first with a friend of mine at
Roup, one of the suburbs. At that time
natural gas was everywhere in use, and
there were open fires in every room. My
and always to lay lighted match on the
bricks before turning on the natural gas.
1 was used to ordinary gas fires, and so
when had reason to use my fire, and the
gas blew the first match out without ignlt-
Ing, l laisurely scratched another and
touched her off. The next instant found me
stretched out on the other side of the room
i'll stunned condition, amid the wreck of
the WashStand, against which / had been
hurled. Luckily / escaped with a few
bruises, but l ever afterward treated natu-
raj gas with profound respect
There are lot of people in my town
who would like to know what takes the
place of the gas in the bowels of the earth
when we extract it. The way it rushes out
when once tapped shows that it is pent UP
in some place at enormous pressure, which
grows gradually less and finally ends alto
gether. Now, what takes it's place is what
want to know. and why there isn't danger
that this support having been Withdrawn,
cavefns may occur? Billions and trillions of
cubic feet of natural gas have been taken
from the earth since its first discovery, and
|, for one, would like to know what Mother
Nature has put in its place.
