The Mob Mountain Apple.

In the fall of the year 1874 two men
named Woodard and Hopkins remov.
ed from the town of Canaan in the State
of Connecticut to Huntington township
in our neighboring county of Luzerne,
stopping at the time, for temporary
residence, upon premises of Abiel Fel-
lows and near his residence on Hunting
ton creek. When about to leave Con-
necticut with their families and house
hold goods, upon what was then an
arduous journey, one of them stopped
at ciGer.mill where cider was being
made from a largo variety of apple
known as the Holcomb Sweet" and
taking up some pumice containing seeds
brought it along to Pennsylvania. The
seeds were sown the same year and in
due course produced small nursery
which was drawn upon for planting
afterwards. Woodard, settling upon
tract of land further down the creek,
(near the present line of Columbia
county,, established large orchard two
or three years later from his Connecti-
cut seedlings, having of course as many
varieties as there were trees planted.
In such an orchard most of the trees
would produce fruit suitable only for
| feeding or for cider, and the smaller
number fruit fit for eating and for
household uses. But one of the Wood
ard trees, in due time, produced fruit
of great excellence. Situate at gate
or crossing into the orchard, near the
house, in comparatively dry and open
location, it became an object of interest
Il nd for half Il century made annual
contributions of delicious fruit to occu-
pants of the farm.
A dozen years since the tree having
become weak with age was blown down,
but at last accounts new shoots from
the root were still in existence, and
gratis of the tree having been secured
and used by several persons acquainted
with the merits of the fruit, the variety
is not likely to become extinct
This small narrative will fifty intro
duce the statement we propose to make
which Is that specimens of the MOI
Mountain apple will be forthcoming fol
examination by all our agricultural and
horticultural friends the coming au
tumn, at the county fair and at othel
times. If, upon examination, it shal
justify the strong encomiums whicl
, have been passed upon it, it will wei
deserve introduction into al! orchard
and gardens in this section, and to b,
recommended for general distribution

TIE history of the "red cent" Is thus
graphically summed up: The cent was
first proposed by ROBERT NORRIS, the
great fnancicr of the revolution, and
was named by JEFFERSON two years
after. 1t began to make its appearance
from the mint in 1892. 1t bore the head
Of w ashington on one side and thirteen
links on the other. The French revo-
luton soon created rage for French
ideas in America, which put on the cent,
instead of the head of Washington, the
head Of the goddess Of liberty-a French
