New Era In Saw Mills
Capt. Wm. Kendall, of Waterville, Maine, has lately put into
successful operation, an improved circular Saw. The saw is
capable of making boards at the astonishing rate of from forty to
fifty superficial feet in a minute, planing them at the same
time. Those who have witnessed the effects, are fully apprised
of its utility, particularly as it is admirably adapted to tide
waters and streams of low heads, or may be conveniently propelled by
steam; three-fourths at least of the power required in the usual way
of sawing is saved by Mr. Kendall’s machine, which at the same time
makes smoother and better boards. About 100,000 feet have
already been made, though Capt. Kendall is not prepared to make a
business of sawing till several important appendages are annexed to
the machine. Circular saws have long been in use, yet the
peculiar construction of the saw and other parts of the machine and
its application to heavy timber are well worthy of a patent.
The ardor in which he engaged and the skill and ingenuity with which
he has persevered in this new and useful invention are worthy of
commendation, and his complete success will perpetuate his fame and
augment his usefulness. – Hallowell Advocate.

Mrs. Frances R.
Beard
Mrs. France R. Beard of (?) Mass.,
whose sensational attempt to kill her daughter and another young
lady at Old Orchard last summer, resulted in Mrs. Beard's
incarceration in the State Insane hospital in Augusta, now says she
believes herself permanently cured. It is remembered, however,
that tat the time of the murderous assault last summer, it was said
that Mrs. Beards insannity was of a spasmodic kind, and ugly stories
were afloat of previus mysterious deaths in her family, which might
have been caused by herself. In view of these things and Mrs.
Beard's own fears and desire to be placed under restraint at that
time her family naturally feel undecided as to what is the best for
her as well as themselves, and there is talk of removing her to some
private asylum. For the present, at least, everyone who has
seen her, believes her to be perfectly sane. It is a
hard and puzzling case.

Geo. M. Delaney of Augusta, came very near being
killed Monday, on the railroad. As the mail train west was
approaching Freeport Delaney crossed the track with a team just in
front of the engine. As
the train passed him his carriage wheels were scarcely two inches
out of the way of the cow catcher
