A STOPP.\GB.â€"Lnst Friday morn- ing all the machinery in the new will was suddenly brought toa standstill by the " stripping ” of the crown wheel down in the basement. The wheel. which drives ad the others, isa huge cast-iron affair, but the teeth, sixty-six in number, are made of maple, boiled in oil. From some reason the wheel, or the 0.310 which passes through its centre. sank an inch, more or less, and the teeth, which are a good deal thin-- her at the top than at the base, were all broken to pieces by the iron teeth ofthe next wheel. There was a second crown wheel in the mill. kept in case of an ac- cident such as occurred, and the work of putting in the teeth was commenced last week, but was not quite finished when the break-down occurred. It was feared at first that something more than the stripping might have happened ; but, fortunately, the fear was unfound- ed; and the mill was at work again on Saturday morning. Tue SIDEWALKsâ€"Constable Nevi- son has had to put in a good deal of time lately superintendiug the repair- inf.r of sidewalks, many of which are pretty well worn out, while one is occa~ ionztlly smashed by the passage over it axle. The wood (refuse shingle bolts) is a boon to the village, as it does not cost. more than 75 cents a cord when ready for use, even if the splitting and piling be paid for, but the waugons in which it is delivered plity sad havoc with the sidewalks, upon which slciehs irt‘winter have no such crushihgefi'ect. M r. Nevison tells us that where repairs are necessary opposite gates he is puf- ting down threeinch planks, as it is throwing array money to use two-inch. Next year there should be a liberal np- propriation for sidewalks, as many of them are getting into a bad state. ___________________._.._.______â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€" A farmer near Glasgow, Ky, has successfully raised a fine quality of cof- fee.
