TREES AND sHRUBsOP OHIO.
BY REV. @. II. WARREN.

DWARF sUMAc.-lRhus Aromahca'l
This is a small aromatic
shrub, usually growing to the
height of four or five feet, 1t is
not generally diffused over the
United States, it grows chiefly
on the Alleehanies and occa-
~sionally in some ofthe Western
States. 1t is not poisonous,
but is a desirable shrub for the
garden or pleasure grounds
The leaves are sessile, incisely
crenate, pubescent beneath
the lateral one ovate. The
flowers are in close aments and
are developed before the un'
folding of the leaves. The fruit
is glabrous and also vilIous, red
in color, and quite acid to the
taste. The flowers which ap-
pear before the leaves are OF. a
yellowish color, and are rather
pretty. l think this fine shrub
should merit a general cultlya-
ton among collections made
for ornamenting grounds
Where it receives a careful cul
ture and training it is quite
beautiful, much more SO than
when seen in a wild state.
LARGE suMAc.-TRhu COtinsides'l
Agreeable to MIR. Buckley
this species assumes the d.
mansions of a large tree, grow
ing to the height of forty or If
ty feet. He states that it is
found on the lofty mountains oil
North Carolina. Mr.. Nutall al
80 states that he met with it
growing in Arkansas. l have
never seen a specimen of this
species of Sumac and conse'
quently can say but little
about il. It is said by those
who have seen it, to resemble
greatly the Rhus COtinu8 or the
Smoke Tree.
JAPAN .suMAc.-[ Rhus Jdpdnus.l
The celebrated Japan var
nish is made from this beaufi.
full species. 1t greatly resem"
bles our Poison Sumac, and was
for years regarded as an iden'
tical species with it, but though
it greatly resembles it, it is diff
ferent in some particulars. The
under surface OF the leaves is
downy and velvety. The mode
of procuring the varnish is by
wounding the tree, af
ter which the varnish oozes out
from the trunk, and it grows
and black when exposed
to the sun and air.

under the leadership Of one who has been
so much and so unjustly misrepresented
and denounced, purchased this seaboard
and Roanoke road and holding and con-
trolling it ever since. have prevented itS
being made use Of for the purpose of
rene wing and carrying on this disas-
trous war against the inland line OF
roads, in which the State has been
stockholder, and have made 1t ut the
same time the means of contributing more
than all other causes to the commerce and
prosperity of Virginia's great seaports,
Norfolk and Portsmouth. Although on
this route, more than two.third Of which Is
on Chesapeake Bay, with no railway to
build Or maintain, passengers can be profit
ably carried between Weldon and Balti-
more for much lower fares than the inland
route, with its expensive transfer through
Three cities, can afford to carry them for !;
yet by the control in this Seaboard line OF
these stockholders of the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Company the fares
between Weldon and Baltimore'on the sea-
board line have been ever maintained at
the same, or very nearly the same rates with
those charged over the inland line, thus
preventing that diversion Of travel from 1t
which was 80 disastrous to 1t In former
years. Nor Is there any truth in the
charges that the schedules Of trains over
this inland line are obstructed or retarded,
in order to avoid out running the Seaboard
line.
From time to time the officers of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Company have urged without success upon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
to run trains out of Washington at such
earlier hours as would bring passengers
from the South by way of Richmond into
Baltimore, in time to connect with earlier
trains than any with which the Bay line
boats could make connection.
Nor could passengers by the inland line
be expedited By causing the trains of that
line to arrive at Weldon earlier, and to leave
there later than the Seaboard road. For it
is we'll known, and will be admitted by
every well-informed and candid man, that
neither of the railroad companies between
Weldon and Raleigh and between Weldon
and Wilmington would ever seriously en-
gage or persist in breaking their connec-
| tions for travel with the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad; and the only effect OF
| bringing the trains of the inland route to
Weldon earlier and of causing them to
| leave there later, would be the detention
for several hours of passengers at that very
uninteresting station.
So simple is this true statement of facts
| which dispels this oft-repeated charge, that
the interests and schedules of this inland
line are subordinated and sacrificed to those
Of the Seaboard line. IL there not reason
to suspect the justice of all other such
charges? P.V. DANIEL, JR.,

AN APPEAL FOR TOTAL ABSTINENCE
To the Citizens of Richmond: The under
signed deem 1t their duty at the beginning
of another year very briefly to call the at
tention Of the people of Richmond, and es-
pecialIy those who are communicates OF the
Christian Church, to the claims which the
temperance societies of this city have upon
them. They abuse no one, and would
coerce no one, but only seek by calm argu-
ment and earnest persuasion to make men
sober. They feel that every citizen Wno
has heart to sympathize with his fellows fellows
over the dreadful work which the use OF
ardent spirits a this community nas ssss aopf this
faet is an excuse, If one were necessary,
for for the M persistence and zeal With which
they are daily urging the claims Ias Of sh. sas1r
out further argument or lengthy appeal,
they simply ask, and not obtruslyely, that
every protesting Christian In the city put
the question prayerfully to their con.
sciences whether they are doing their
whole duty In behalf Of their frazier and
