WESTERN FRUIrs.-The eastern States az
States are comparatively barren in respect Of
natural supplies Of fruit such as we enjoy in the
happy regions Of the great West. No country
in the world can surpass in variety, however
they may equal in richness, the great abundance
OF different fruits which nature SO profnsely
lavishes upon the pioneers of the west. VIVA,

West. Of these there is an endless supply and
SO great variety of species is there that the
mind IL lost when attempting to imagine how
il can be that plums Of every sort aud descrip-

acres upon acres of land until the sight loses

perfume, the fruit of each tree possessing
flavor distinct from that OF the tree beside it
In due season no doubt this country will supply
such delicate preserves as would make the fair
Eugenie Of France and the lovely Victoria of
England give their husbands no rest until they
come and settle in Glenwood. What's crown
