LUMBERMAN. 105 A pine tree was recently cut on Beaver creek, Peshtigo, Wis., district, that made four lG-foot logs, 48, 46, 44, and 42 inches in diameter, and altogether scaling 5,744 feet. The Lachute Watchman says that Messrs. A. & G. Holland, of Ottawa, are constructing a pulp factory at Buckingham, and intend having it completed early in the spring. While engaged in digging a well recently at Two Rivers, Wis., some men found a piece of hemlock wood 80 feet below the surface of the earth, and in a good state of preservation. On the Elk river, in Wisconsin, Ed. Butler banked what was regarded the biggest log of the season a few days since. It measured 20 feet long and 44 inches through at the small end. The cordage to be used by the St. Croix, Wis., Boom Company for the ensuing season has been contracted for, and amounts to 100 tons, costing in the aggregate from $24,000 to 126,000. The ancient temples of Egypt are believed to contain the oldest timber in the world, in the shape of dowel pins which are incorporated with §tone work, known to be not less than 4,000 years old. These dowel pins, according to the appearance they present, are thought to have been made from the tamarisk, or shittim wood, in ancient times a sacred tree in Egypt. The Chatham, N.
