Dr. J. M. Rice has a barrel on
exhibition at Olympia that is con
structed on a novel plan. Instead
ot staves, it is formed of a thin strap
of board about eight inches wide,
which is wrapt around a cylinder in
a spiral. The joint is then joined
by a narrow strip, and the' whole
retained in position by nails. The
merits-olaimed for these- barrels are
cheapness ot construction, strength
and durability, and economy iiv
space where they form a cargo.
They are peculiarly fitted tor lime
and flour barrels, or tor, any similar
purpose, where the contents are not
liquid.
The Jacksonville Time says:
"Shearing has commenced, and the
woolis already arriving rfsid
erable has been shipped below; dur

is good. Although the clip will be
quite large, owing to the mortality
amcng sheep last winter, it will not
approximate the product of 1878.
It is to be hoped that the Ashland
Woolen Mills will be running soon,
so there will be a market for this
product at home."

Bubevra was. on the occasion of

wont form had suddenly appeared
and taken all by surprise. The
yoiing eivibif, who had just appear

a conveyance, a house or food ; and
bands of hungry poor were daily

Returning to Purbunga, twelve
miles off, along the new line of road,
