The following curious list of the names of a jury empanelled at the Assizes held at Hunting- don, Eng., before Judge Dodderei, in the month of July, 1619, is taken from the L mdon Maga- unc, for 1733. "Now one would think," says that paper, " that the whole oountry must have been picked on purpose to find out names to range in this whimsical order. But that as it was, is most certain truth, several copies of them being to be seen hung up in divers families there at this day ; and it is self-evident that a comma placed after either the Christian or surname of these men gives a very different idea of their p.-rson :—Maximilian King, of Tozeland; George Duke, of Summersham; Edmund Earl, of Hartford ; Stephen Pope, of Newton ; Humphrey Bishop, of Bug.len ; Robert Knight, of Winwick ; Robert Baron, of St. Neots: John Archdeacon, of Paxton; Edward Fryer, of Ellington ; George Gentleman, of Spaldwick; Richard Deacon, of Catworth ; Henry Prince, of Godmanchester ; William Marquis, of Stukley ; Richard Baron, of By- horne; Stephen Cardinal, of Kimbolton Robert Lord, of Wazely ; William Abbott, of Stuckley; William Dean, of Old Weston; Peter Squire, of Eaton ; Henry Mock, of Stukley ; George Priest, of Grasham ; Thomas Yeoman, of Barham. WATER RUNNING ENGINES WITH WHEELS. Whenever more power is needed, either con- stantly or at seasons of low water.or when vari- able work is being done, a steam engine may be attached to the line shaft which leads from the water-wheel by means of its main-band passing over a pulley on side line shaft (situated as near the wheel as practicable), said pulley to have such diameter as will permit both the engine and the water-wheel to make each its own regu- lar speed. The effect of this is as foil .ws :When the supply of water is ample for the work, the governor of the engine will shut off its supply of steam, or nearly so, and the steam retained in the boiler, little fuel being consumed. But when the supply of water fails, or the work is greater, for longer or shorter intervals of time the speed of th water-wheel is decreased, then this governor instantly opens the steam upon the engine, which in turn supplies just the amount of power needed to supplement and maintain the requisite speed of the line-shaft, so that, as long as the power from the water- wheel is sufficient to overcome its own friction and that of the line-shafting.so long will its own water be utilized, even when it would be insuffi- cient alone to accomplish any work at all be- yond overcoming said friction.—Saw Mill Gazette. _______________ To Frevent its Bursting An old lady read a paragraph in one of the papers the other day describing how a grind- stone burst in a saw mill and killed four men. She happened to remember that there was a small grindstone down in the cellar, leaning against the wall; so she went out and got an accident insurance policy, and then, summoning her servant, and holding a pie board in front of her face so that if the thing exploded her face would not be injured, had the stone taken out into the road, where twenty-four pales of water were thrown over it, and a stick was stuck in the hole bearing a placard marked "dangeroui.' She says it is a mercy the whole house was not blown to pieces before this — Wood and Iron. Brisk Work. Since the Messrs. Rathbun began operations here a few weeks ago, their workmen have turned out 25,000 railroad ties besides large quantities of lumber and lath. The ties will be sold to the Grand Trunk Company to assist in supplying the never-ceasing demand for new material on that great line. Estimating the distance between the ties at three feet, the great pile now waiting shipment which has been sawn in so short a time, is sufficient to cover over fourteen miles of track. The mill will be shut down for the winter, shortly, and next year it will loom up double, or perhaps triple, its present size, and employ probably a force of men twice as large as that now employ- ed.— Campbellford HeTaU.
