TO lake into account a proposition to
meet an absolute demand Tor timber,
a softening of the rigor of our storms,
and a benefit TO adjacent landowners
on the south by protecting their fruit
trees and animals, which figures will
not compute. To make such q line Of
beauty across u State is to shed
blessings on the people and ensure
their lasting gratitude.
The lands given in aid Of the rail
road companies, and certified as
swamp land to the counties, are equal
in 0 to TIE area of the State Of
Connecticut. OF these acres not

large portion will be dependent on
distant peat beds or coal fields, if
groves are not planted. What a field

the approaching Of the values OF their

also, TO give scenic beauty to the
country and add millions to the State
valuation by cultivasing groves of but

quarters!
The State should lend encourage
ment to this work. Every owner Of
a brute. and he who c~ultivates the
grape or the apple and cares for their
protection, not less than the grain
grower who would have the currents
of vapor bring the welcome moisture
to his parched fields, has an interest
In this question. As q precaution
there is an appeal to the Statesman ;
ample pecuniary motives for the sor-
did; opportunities for men and women
Of taste and leisure who would be re-
membered in the far future as having

Dea,h of MR.. Alexander smith.

Our foreign files received by the North Amer
lean, announce the death of Mr.. Alexander
Smith, author of "A Life Drama" and other
poems and secretary of the University of Edin-
burgh. This event took place at Wardie, near
Edinburgh on the 9Th inst The Liverpool
Post of Jan. 10, has the following sketch of his
career. --. Is ..-s -.--..--
Mr.. Smith, who was the son of pattern de-
signer, was born at Kilmarnock, on the 31st
December. 1880, so that he had Just entered his
37th year. He received fair education in
youth, and showing uncommon talent, was
destined for the pulpit, but severe illness led
to change of purpose, and young Smith was
put to his fathers business. While engaged
in preparing patterns for lace factory in Glas-
glow, Mr.. Smith began to cultivate the MUSES..
and his first work, "a Life Drama" was pub
forwards in a volume with other poems in
1858. The merits of Mr.. Smith formed sub
ject of disputation among the critics, some
recognizing only one wealth of imagery in his
poems, others pointing to his initiative ten6en-
cies, and refusing him any claim to originality.
By his subsequent works, however, Mr.. Smith
fully settled his claim to rank among the poets
In 1854. he published in conjunction with Mr.
Dobell, "Sohnets on the (Crimean) War;" and
in 1857, "City Poems" and Edwin of Deira."
At later period he distinguished his himself
as prose writer, publishing in 1863, Dream
thorp," 1865, "a Summer in Skye" and CAL
fred Hagart's Household" He was also fire.
quent contributor to Good Words" and other
serials, as well as to journalistic literature. In
1854, he was appointed, mainly in recognition
of his literary talents, to the office of secretary
of Edinburgh University. He married about
ten years ago, and has lett widow and family
