what he calls past aggressions, on the

continuance of the present contest can
have no excuse. It has degenerated into

avoided as far as in me lay' pur
suing its issues through any personal
altercation. I shall under no circum

howsover satisfied I may be that reason
able, cense for the same, may exist. I
must content myself iu the name of Goct

protest against acts and temper so de
rogatory to the dignity of our office, our
confiding brotherhood, the peace of
the Church and the well being
of the portion of it committed by the
Great Head to vuy unworthy charge. I,
therefore. hereby, as far as I can to give I
it lawful and moral weight, and violating,

Some weeks ago the first official visit to
the saloons made a marked sense&, - n. and

the saloons are suddenly closed.
Small numbers of the sea sometimes we
' expectedly enter, with pencil and paper;
taking notes. One day several ladies-en
tered a carriage and were driven toward
Hillsdale, where the prosecuting Attor

and the saloons were immediitely closed.
and the keepers with a constable and a
factotum for complaint against - each was
amicably made sad snits instituted for a
violation of the liquor law, probably in
tended as an offset to forestall the ladies'
supposed prosecution. But the joke of
the thing is that the Prosecuting. Attor

Then followed the voluntary closing tits
of hotels and saloons, by the keepers nail

discharging boarders, stopping hotel run

while citizens looked on to see the sport.
The ladies, tiptat all disconcerted at this,
immediately opened their hooks for the

A procesnhas recently been announced
in Europe for imitating the grains of
wood of different kinds, with the most
perfect exactness, which consists in using
a piece of the wood to be imitated as a
plate for taking off an accurate impres
sion of the - texture. To do this, apiece
of the wood is selected of fine quality and
approved grain, about five feet long.
twelve inches wide.. and a quar
ter of an inch thick, well cleaned
upon both sides, and made with smooth
sand-paper. A chemieal preparation is
then applied to the wood, which has the .
effect of opening its pores, and at the
same time hardening its surface, and when
the board thus prepared Is thoroughly
dried, it constitutes a wood plate for
printing. The material with which the
impression is to be made is prepared in
oil, and 'is especially adapted for
transferring. Zoe* paint is applied
to the board by - means o, a
roller any superfluous quantity of
paint removed with a pallette. The
sized paper, prepared expressly, is thea
laid over the board, and both, are: passed
through the rollers; and when the paper
is stripped off from the wood, it carries
with it all the,paint. marked off with the
grains of the wood.N This paper is then
to be applied to the surtuce - on which the
imitation is to be - effected, with ;the
painted - side downwards, of course.
and the back of• the impression is
lightly rubbed with apiece of soft flannel.
On stripping off the paper a fac•simile Of
the board is left behind. The other &fails
of the process are given at length in the
account of which the present is only an
abstract, and we presume that if not,
already introduced into 'this; country it
soon will be, and emplo3ed largely for
decorative purposes.
