Mouster Tree.

A California correspondent of the Sa

lem Gazette (J. S. Wallis) says that Col.

P. Tebbots, formerly of Lewis ton Falls,

Me., cut a tree of the red wood species,

in California, which was two hundrei

and fifty-four feet high, and measured at

the top two feet in diameter, and at the

butt twelve feet in diameter. The tree

was worked into lumber one hundred and

forty feet from the butt, where it measured

five feet in diameter. There were made

from this giant cf the forest 1 10,000 shin

gles, 6,000 clapboards, 4;000 three by

four joists twenty-two feet Ion"-- ant

there were left, at a moderate calculation,

from seventy to eighty cords of wood.-

1 he clapboards were sold for 850 per

thousand, the joists for $375 per thou

sand, and the remaining part of the tree

would . readily sell in this city for fire

wood, at 5;40 per cord; thus, at a moder

ate Calculation, there was derived from

the working of this mammoth dueller of

the primeval forest the neat little sum ol

A tiiltle BIystcrious. The Canneilon (Ia) Economist pub

lishes the following letter:

; Rome, Ia. August 20, 1050.On Saturday last, a case was brought

before me, as a Justice, of a somewhat

anomalous charcter. One day last week

an inividual Went into the housa of Lewis

Taylor, in Clark township, in Perro coun

ty, in the absence of the family, took from the house a blacks-ilk dress, a black lustre dress and another article of female

clothing, all of the value of QG.C0. They

were all found in the possession of an in

dividual whose only disclosed name is

Billy." Billy, nowever-r on close fe

male scrutiny turned out to be a female in male attire. The females cf Rome, are preparing suitable apparel for the unfortunate Billy. .- ' '- ' . ; ' . C.o ij rf --J.. zn ir.t. r:.;ir.g cou;.t;-r.-rcc b!.3 ecs V J.tl.rir - L-'uti-

in this business as a matter of instinct.

In the valley of the Mississippi the phrase

disunion is unintelligible senseless as the jargon of the lunatic. When the next generation shall look back Upon the doings and sayings of this present day, and contemplate the scene of our present dissentions and the cause thereof, a proper respect for the wisdom and patriotism of their predecessors may probably temper their sense of the ridiculous and soften the expression into a smile. W7e may hope to escape thus easily by virtue of fdial charity, and so hoping we may venture to declare the belief that the Union will last until then.

' Bckial of John W. Webstee. The body of Professor Webster was dressed for the torsb at the jail.on Friday afternoon, by John Heake, undertaker, and placed in a mahagony cofT.n. At about eight o'clock it was removed bv the

private entrance to Lowel street where a heasewaa in waiting, and conveyed to his residence in Cambridge. Funeral services were then performed in presence of the family, and a few friend of the deceased, by tha Rev. 'Dr. Walker. Thi remains were then placed ia a hears.and without funeral train conveyed to limp'

The World's Exhibition. The preparations for the exhibition of

the products of Industry of the World, to

be held sometime next year in England,

i.3 going on, and will exceed any thing of the kind jvc?f before known. Hunt's Ma

gazine has compiled tho following facts

from late English papers:

Mr. Paxton suggests a building chieflv

of glass in fact, a huge but elegant glasshouse. The great feature in its direction

is, that no stone, brick, or mortar will be

necessary. All the roofing and upright

sashes will be made by machinery, fitted together and glazed with rapidity, most of them being finished previous to being

taken to the place, so that little else will be required on the spot than to fit the finished materials together. The whole

of the structure will be supported on cast

iron columns, and tha extensive roof will

be supported without the necessity for in

terior walls for this purpose. If removed after the exhibition, the materials may be

sold far more advantageously than a struc

ture filled in with bricks and mortar, and some of the materials would bring in full

half the original outlay. Complete venti

lation has been provided by filling in every third upright compartment with luder

boarding-, which would be made to open

and shut bv marhmprv' th w wio rf 1 101 o
