TIMBER. 



ghl time to fell limber for rails, bnildings, 

 icnitural uses, generally is when the sap

 he felling should be stopped.

 )n is performed at the time Ihal timber will

 benefit of oil paint — being harder and

The most important contract that con be made, 

 is that which takes place between a sick innn and 

 his Doctor. The subject of it is human life. The 

 breach of this contract by willf 1 ne*ligence,when 

 followed by death, is murder, and it is because our 

 penal laws are imperfect that the punishment of 

 lliat crime is not infiioted upon physicians who are 

 guilty of it.

i;!l timber when the bark does not peel 

 is at a time of the year which takes a

 Itlic bark did not peel, the tree would stand
