A "Tali," Stick ok Timber.— The Roches- 

 ter Democrat says, "a twcnjy horse team, draw- 

 insnn immense slick of tindier, siirnionnted by 

 the 'Stars and Stripes,' allracted general atten- 

 tion in onr streets on TInnsday. It was owned 

 by \Vni. Ilouell, and is to be sawed into boat 

 timber. It nicasnrcd 4i fiet at the bnlt, and ^1 

 feet at the top. It vvastiS lict in length, and con- 

 tained GiO cidiic feet. 'I'olal weiiiht was no less 

 than ll'-i tons — the heaviest slick of tindier pro- 

 bably ever drawn to the ciiy. It was drawn 10 

 miles by Pike &, Kllis, and is chiefly designed for 

 the yard of ilie Messrs. II. at Btifn-ilo." 



(U= The foregoi'ig slick of lindier is not cer- 

 tainly more than half the size and weight of a 

 pine tree taken fioin llopkinton to Sew all's Falls 

 on Merrimack river in this town some sevnty- 

 five years ago, OS recollected by some of the oldest 

 inhabitants now living, one ni' whom, correct in 

 memory as a book, personally gave lis the infor- 

 mation. The slick of timber was 110 feet in 

 length and measured 3 feet over at the top or 

 stnallcst part h was drawn by 5.5 yokes of oxen. 

 Coming down a steep hill in Hopkiuton tail firs', 

 n part of the lean) holding back, the wheels bear- 

 ing it crushed by the superincumbent weight of 

 the tree. From iliis circnmstance the place is 

 i-alled "Tail-down 11111." Consiilering ihe time, 

 the state of the roads, the diflicidly of driving 

 down the river over all ilie tails, the enti'rprise 

 of our ancestors may he set down as equal to 

 any thing \\trA has recently been done in any part 

 of the counlrv.
