The life of an editor like that of most other men, has its bright side as well as its dark. Once in a while the long line of wearisome hunting fbr something to please the hungry literary appetites of his readers, and the never foiling supply of fault-find ings and blesBings(?) are varied by little Christmas and New Year epi sodes that vary the monotony, and ‘Show that we are not altogether with out remembrance. Such our Christ mas has proven, kind friends have remembered us, and we hereby ex tend to them our hearty thanks for kind remembrances. Messrs. Bnumgartner Bros., sent us in as a foundation for our Christ mas dinner a large turkey. Mrs. Charley Baumgartner sweetened it up with a delicious mince pie of her own make. Mr. C. L. Elliot, the popular gro cer, wishing us to obey the scripture injanotion, “Take a little wine for thy stomach sake,” sent in a bot tle of pure scyppernong wine. Friend Glogauer completed th e layout with a box of flue cigars. As we enjoyed these luxuries, we'could but Swish that these good people should always enjoy all of good that earth has to offer. r May they live to enjoy many happy rotnrns. of this, our annual jubilee.

There it stopped, and the two bales were banded in one, .being smaller by several inches than a single bald from an ordinary compress—for, he it re membered that these bales bad been already once compressed elsewhere. The machinery used in riveting the bales, so that they shall not expand at all, was out of gear, so that iwe did not witness that part of the pro cess. This double bale, then; When taken out of the press, expanded to about the dimensions of a single bale compressed in the ordinary way.

The power used to secure these re sults is four double hydraulic pumps, which force water into a chamber of the press, causing the bed to rise.— This water passes back into a reser voir, and is used over and oveiragain. the CAPAcrrr.
