Vassab, Mich., has a new company engaged in the manufacture of wood paving blocks. Thebe is a mill being built at Tower, Minn., which is surrounded by pine enough to last forty years if cut at the rate of 100,000 feet a day. New Yobk City imports of lumber from the British Provinces in 1885 amounted to 68,305,420 feet. Of shingles 1,050,000 were imported. The exports of lumber, exclusive of hard- woods, from the port of New York during 1885, amounted to ,000 feet. The total value of the exports of wood and its product was 87,001,343. New Hampshire ships millions of fish barrel staves, made of sapling pine, to Michigan and other States bordering on the lakes. The resin- ous character of the wood commends it to the packers of fish for holding brine. The strength of the chestnutwood is to oak as 54 to 100. Cohesive force, according to Tredgold, is from 9,570 to 12,000; its specific gravity is '535 according to Tredgold, and '657 according to Rondelet; weight per cubic foot about 30-6 pounds. The amount of lumber inspected in Boston during 18*5 was 98,498,000 fe^t compared with 98,741,000 in 1884, and 119,000,000 in 1882. Western and Canada pine are not inspected, and a large amount of yellow pine and spruce goes directly to the yards at the mill inspec- tion. Aboct 6 o'clock on the morning of the 13th inst, the saw mill belonging to Mr. Geo. Mc- Gregor, lot 31, con. 10, township of Hamilton, Ont, was discovered to be on fire. The mil with all the machinery and a large quantity of lumber were totally destroyed. No insurance. The fire was without doubt the work of an incendiary. Me. A. Hoppin'3, of the Rathbun Company, has purchased the entire cut of the Hinchin- brooke saw mill. It will measure 130,000 feet, and consists of pine, hemlock, basswood, oak, and ash. Mr. Hoppins will also purchase all the ti
