TREES AND OF OHIO.
BY REV. G. H. WARREN.
BLACK LOCUST or Yellow Locust.

BLACK LOCUST or Yellow Locust.
Robinia Pseudo-Acacid
This is a very common tree
in the United States and IS
found growing wild and rather
plentifully in all the States
west of the Delaware River. 1t
is a tree of the secondary size,
usually growing to the height
of forty and sometimes fifty
feet. This tree is sometimes
known as the Yellow Locust
and by many it is called the
Black Locust. The slender
branches of this graceful tree
are armed with stipuiar
prickles. The leaves which
are pinnate, being of a blush
green color and have a beauti.I
full symmetry, each composed
of eight 10 twelve pairs of leaf
lets, with one at the end. These
are ovate and oblong ovate,
thin, nearly sesslle, closing as
if in sleep by night. The white
blossoms, which in the pleas.
ant month of June unfold
themselves, are very numerous,
diffused in pendulous clusters
over all the tree, and are highly
fragrant. The pods containing
the seeds are narrow and flat,
in each pod there are five or six
small brown seeds. When this
tree is young it is armed with
stout thorns, but as it advances
in age they disappear. AS a
timber tree the Locust is of the
very first class, having hut few
if any rivals. 1t is found by
mechanics to be stronger and
even more durable than the
best Oak, or Red Cellar; 1t is
thought to be lighter and
equally as durable as the Live
Oak of the Southern States.
For ship building and for posts
for fencing this timber is used
extensively, and is exported to
England annually in large
quantities. There is one pecu-
liarity connected with this
graceful tree; about the third
or fourth year of its growth tho
sap is converted into perfect
wood, which is not done by The
Elm, Oak, Beech, or Chestnut
until after the tenth or ff.
teenth year. Hence excellent
timber can be obtained from
this tree in a shorter period
than from any other. When
the Locust is grown in deep,
mellow, fertile soil, its growth
is wonderfully vigorous and an
immense number maybe grown
upon a small'tract of land. In
France where the Locust was
first introduced by Jean Robin
during the reign of Henry w,
(whence the name, Ro6inia,)
it was cultivated for the poles
used in supporting the grapes
in vineyards.

Lungs, Such as Coughs, Colds
WhOoping Cough, BrOn-
chitis, Asthma, and
@ onsump ton.

Uonsum tion.
Probably never before in the whole history
Of medicine, has anything won so widely and
so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as
this excellent remedy for pulmonary CONS
plants. Through II long series of years, snd
among most OF the races Of men II has risen
higher md higher in their estimation, as il
has become better known. Its uniform char
aeter and power to cure the various affections
OF the lungs and throat, have made it known
rs a reliable protector against them. While
adapted TO tha mllder forms Of disease and to
young children, 1t is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can De oven for in
cipient CONSUMPTION, and The dangerous atiec-
tons of the throat and lungs. As q provision
against sudden attacks ofcroup II should be
kept on hand in every family, and ind ed rs
all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs,
all should be provided wIh this ahtidote for
them.
Although settled Consumption is thought
incurable, still great numbers of cases where
the disease seemed settled, have been COM
plelely cured, and the patient restored to
sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. SO com-
plete Is its mastery over the disorders OF the
lungs and throat, that the most obstinate OF
them yield to it. When nothing else could
reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they
subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers end great pro-
tectl0n from ii.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by 1t.
Bronchitis Is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses
SO generally are its virtues known that We
need not publish the certificates OF them here,
or do more than assure the public that its
qualities are fully maintained.

Our Business Men Who Adj
vertise.
. The leading Wholesale No
ton House in Southern Ohio,
outside OF Cincinnati, is that of
S. o Swift, of this city. In fact
there are few houses anywhere
more complete in all their ap-
pointments, or which carry a
larger or more attractive stock
of goods. The three immense
rooms are fairly packed with
everything that use can sug'
gest or fancy devise. Mr..
Swift IS a capital business man,
fully alive to the wants of the
market, and has built up one
of the most prosperous Notion
trades in the West.
Among our Stove and Tin
Ware dealers, Mr.. A. @. Ireland
has always occupied a front
rank; wide awake nd,energet.
ic, he has moulded business to
his hand, and fairly merits the
large and increasing trade
which he enjoys. The stock
carried by Mr.. Ireland is al.
ways large, embracing the
whole catalogue of wants in
that line, and this added to his
personal popularity, gives the
secret OF his success.
The name of Thomas Wood
row, jr., is one intimately asso-
ciated with industrious, intelli.
gent business management, ju.
dicious public Improvements
and the widest range of public
and private charities. As a
Dry Goods merchant, his tact
and energy have built up for
him one of the finest retail
trades in the West. His sales
are probably surpassed by no
house of the kind in this part
of the State. As a citizen, no
one stands in a more enviable
niche. Public enterprise new.
or received a g~rumbling refu-
sal, and the poor never 60
empty from his door. He is a
man worthy to be the pattern
for a community.
Another excellent citizen
and admirable business man, is
Mr.. g. F. Dufeu, our popular
Jeweler. There is no finer es>
Enlistment of the kind in
cities OF our class. In Fancy
Goods and Jewelry, Silver and

most thoroughly adapted to
his business, and is, withal one
of our most valuable and use.

TO run away about five minutes before he left.
