The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice Of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt but the testimony Of honest and enlight-

Shellbarks OF Maine.

Rev. VIM. A. Drew of this city has shown
us sample of hickory nuts, the real she'll
barks of the market, which are now dropping
in considerable abundance from couple of
beautiful trees on his premises. We know of
no other instance of the production and ma
turity of this Thanksgiving fruit in Maine.
Common hickory trees, indeed, abound in
York and Cumberland counties-particularly
in Wells, Berwick, Sanford, &C., in the for
mer county, and in North Yarmouth on
walnut HILL" They may also be seen in
SaGadahoc county, upon the islands of Merry
meeting Bay, in Lincoln county. on the line
of the Knox & Lincoln railroad between Bath
and Wiscasset, but the fruit dropped from
these are what are called Pig Nuts, small,
with very thick shells and little meat inside.
The Shellbark brought into the market from
the Susquehanna valley and from the seed of
which Mr.. Drew's trees were produced, is a
different fruit, being more oblong, with thin
shell and full meated.
The history of Mr.. Drew's trees, he informs
us, is as follows Some thirty years ago. when
his newspaper, the Gospel Banner, was printed
in the kennebec Journal Office by its founder,
the late Hon. Luther SEWERAGE, he and that
gentleman were conversing upon fruit-grow-
ing in Name, when the inquiry was raised
whether our soil and climate would mature
the growth and fruitage of the western she'll
barks and sweet chestnuts? To test this one
of the parties stepped into fruit store near
the Office and purchased handful each of
the above named nuts. 1t was in October,
when the seed was yet quite fresh. They
were planted forthwith, some in Mr.. Sever
ance's garden, and others in Mr.. Drew's.
Next spring the nuts vegetated and the young
trees made their appearance, two of which
were transplanted to Mr.. Drew's front yard,
where they now stand, large, ornamental
trees, and loaded with ripe fruit. He says
the late Hon. Il. II. Gardiner had one of this
variety of the hickory tree growing on his
"Oaklands," near the city of his name; but
he told him that It never bore or matured its
fruit. These fortunately do; and Mr.. Drew
considers them an acquisition on his premises.

THERE is an angry and revolut' on1ry
conflict going on in England between
the people and the ~aristocracy, which
threatens serious and momentous re-
suits. The spirit Of democracy has
never before progressed in that country
with sueh rapid and startling pace.
The Queen has been stripped of nearly
all Of her power, her hereditary property
has been denied her and "a civil list"
substituted in its stead which yearly de-
pends upon the within and caprice Of
the Commons. The church has also
been disendowed, weakened, crippled,
and divided into warning factions. The
House OF Lords, the hereditary and aris-
t~ocratic legislature Il the country, Is
disarmed, denied its ancient preroga-
tives aud threatened with overthrow.
The Commons done flourish, end in
this body we are told, the right Of mi
nority representation Is riciously rssail-
ed. The journals re-echo the popular
clamor; and it is said only one respact-
able journal in all England, the Pail
Mall Gazette, has dared to breast the
advancing wave. The House of Lords
has long stood as q bulwark against the
democratic tendency Of the age, and if
it be now deprived Of power, we may
apprehend the revolutionary spirit Of
the liberals will rush into many dan
gerous excesses. 49, .
