We wish To call the attention OF our read
ers 10 the remarks of Senator Douglas at tho
NcwYork State Fair III relation to the growth
OF timber. Ia Vermont the reckless destruo-
ton of our forests begins to make us antici-
pate future scarcity for economical purpos-
es. In some loralities it is already matter
Of general complaint, that with originally an
ample supply for eenturie.. .therc il now hArllS
ly enough OF forest timber for fuel Li,tleat.
tcndou has beun gwen amongst us to the
growing OF forest trees with view to orna-
ment aud use. Wherever there has been oc-
casion TO fell our forests, 1t has been done in
disrriminatJiy, so that as the Senator re-
marks, it has been rendered impossible for a
second growth Of similar species TO spring up.
To- nothing ot the bad taStr displayed
in thus strippinglour farms TO the skin, il is
very poor economy III some of our villages,
the prices paid tnr wood, are now almost e.
qud To what would be required if we pur-
chased only imported coal. In alt, there is
beginning TO bc demand not easily satisfied
without great expenditure.
We commend the subioined extract of the
Senator's speech to the attentive considerA-
ZION of our farmers.
~ would now say a few words on the growth
of timber, a subject much neglected by our
countrymen. Yet timber is one of the most
valuable productions of the soil, and an in-
dispcusable requisite to the Improvement and
civilization OF men. No country on earth is,
in this respect, more blessed than ours. Mono
can boast Of such variety OF forest trees, a.
dapted to the various uses of farming, the me
chanic arts, architecture aud ship-building.--
In no other country do we find such mAgnif-
cent shade trees- aneh exianSire aAA superb
primeval forests, and in no part of the world
is the reproductive power of the soil less ex-
haustcd than in our own. Yet with these in
caiculabo advantages, and with our unboun-
ded coal-hclds, the want OF fire. wood is alrea-
dy felt in some districts which, like the prai-
rics OF the West, are naturally destitute of
timber, or in which locomotives and steam
boats are consuming the article faster than il
can be reproduced in the ordinary course of
nature. There is also reason to believe that
the extreme desire of pressing civilization
forward, and of fertilizing ne wilderness in
the shortest time, induces hsny hardy pio-
neer OF the West, to "exterminate" our
woods, when considerations not merely poeti-
cal, but economical and practical, would in
more than one instance cry out to him, Wood
mar,, spare that tree"
Trees are not merely useful and oruamon-
tai, but also by their mere existence---by the
breathing of oxygen--eminently conducive TO
health. They aEc-ti5J- companions Of man, as
much so as some Of the domestic animals. and

when we asked her TO show us the Dungeons
she readily assented, and begged to be excus-

staircase--presently she returned bearing "A
