Eastman Steam Saw anti Plan
ing Mills,
On Tuesday afternoon we visited the mills
of Mr. W. N. Leitch on the M. & B. R. R.,
one mile below our town. We found the
planing mills under the supervision of Mr.
T. A. Judge, a letter A No. 1 machinist.—
Every class of lumber necessary for building
purposes is dressed here, at the rate of about
6,000 to 10,000 feet per day. The moulding
is done with neatness and dispatch, at a mere
nominal sum, compared with the cost of get
ting it out by hand. The scroll saw cuts eve
ry conceivable kind of brackets, from the
plainest to the most fancy. Indeed, it is mar
velous with what nicety and smoothness these
little saws do their work—coursing and curv
ing through the wood, entting their way with
as much precision as would the tailor with his
shears through the cloth. The planing mill,
the moulding mill, scroll-saw, and turning
lath are all run bv one sixteen-horse engine.
A short distance from this is another engine,
which runs a saw mill, shingle mill, lath mill
and stave mill. The saw mill turns out daily
from 6,000 to 10,0<t>0 1-et f lumber ; the shin
gle mill 10,000 to 15,000 shingles ; the lath
mill 10,000 to 12,00 u laths, and the stave mill
4,000 staves. Of course considerable expense
attaches to the running of these mills, but Mr.
Leitch seems be master of the situation, and
is running them most successfully.
A Mr. Sinclair from Cochran put up at the
Lowlands, Maj. Armstrong’s, one night last
week in company with another gentleman,
and reports that his gold watch and chain,
his dress coat, a little cash and his companion
all turned up missing the next morning. How
these articles weTe 1 *>t by this Cochran man
does not seem to be known here, as it was
whispered arouDd that he is fond of gaming
and was out late the night before.
GREAT EXCITEMENT AT
CHAUNCEY!
Mulling-ar in Telephonic Com
municating 1 with Chauncey.
Mullingar is a village about one-half mile
from Chauncey—named in honor of its pro
prietor, Mr. James Mullin.
Mr. Mullin is one of our enterprising citi
zens who keeps up with the rapidfprogress of
the age. Recently he Conceived the idea that
be might greatly facilitate his business and
economize time and Libor by use of one of the
much trlked of Telephones, which would put
him in easy speaking distance to his station.—
The idea was no sooner conceived than carried
into effect. He at once made his order, and
tho telephone arrived at his station last Satur
day night. Monday morning (we will not
mention the Sunday part of it) he went to
work putting up poles, very much on the or
der of telegrapbpoles.only his are ro ugh pine,
so anxious was he for the experiment. Very
soon the poles were up, the small metal wire
stretched and fastened, reaching from .his of
fice to the store house of Er. W. K. Bussey,
agent at No. 12 —a distance of nearly one-half
mile. Mr. M. says he wanted to make as lit
tle. ado about it as possible, for really he had
very little confidence in it after he saw it. But
now everything ready, the thing must be test
ed. So Mr. Mullin iu Ills office at k one end of
(he line and Dr. J. W- Tucker in the store at
the other end, proceeded.
Tucker—Hullo !
Mullin—Yes.
Tucker—How’s this ?
Mullin—Bully! Just the thing? Grand!
And thus they continued to converse to
their hearts’ content in an ordinary tone of
voice.
Hearing of this new enterprise in our per
ambulatiugs on Tuesday, we availed ourselves
of an opportunity yesterday to visit it. We
went directlj to Mr. Mullin’s and were soon
in conversation with parties at the station.
The whole thing is certainly very simple and
cheap. This one cost only $8.17. Mr. Mul
is decidedly pleased with it and proposes to
put one from his commissary to his office. It
is certainly a decided success, and we congrat
ulate Mr. Mullin upon his taking the lead in
this enterprise.
Take Notice.
All papers placed iu my bends for collection
after this date will be served without notice to
the opposite party unless specially instructed
to gi\e such notice.

Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens

there is no occasion for this feeling, as every

that Green’s August Flower will make them
