"DrAR SIN. The land composing my
farm has hitherto been SO poor that Scotch
nrn couldn't get bis living of it, and so sto-
ny that we had to slice our potatoes and
plant them edgeways but hearing Of your
balsam, put some on the corner of ten
acre lot, surrounded by rail fence, and in
the morning found the rocks had entirely
disappeared, neat stone wall encircled the
field, and the rails were split into oven wood
and piled up symmetricaliy in my back yard.
Put half an ounce into the middle OF a buck
ieberry swamp; in two days it was cleared
off, planted with corn and pumpkins, aud had
row Of peach trees in full bloom through
the middle As an evidence of its trcmen-
dous strength would state that it drew .
likeness of my eldest daughter, drew my.
youngest boy ont of the mllpond, drew .
blister all over his stomach, drew load of
potatoes four miles to market, and eyentual-
" drew prize ofninety-sevep dollars in the
State lottery. And the effect upon tie in
habitants hcraabouts has been so wonderful,
that they have opened their eyes to the good
of the country, and are determined to vote
for a Governor who is opposed to frosis in
the nj idle Of June, who will make posi-
tive law against freshcts, storms and the
seventeen year locusts."
