WONDERFUL STuHY FROM ILoRIpA.-
a most wonderful! story is told OF A startling
phenomenon in Florida. \ large portion
of Orange county is changed to lake, and
trees, houses and people cngufel There
were many witnesses Of the phenomenon,
one of whom said that the first thing that
attracted his attention was the trees moving.
First there was gratory motion Of the
trees, some sinking gradually out of sight,
the tops revolving more and more rapidly
as they sauk and disappeared, the others
following, and as they fell, rc"o'ving and
describing arcs Of circles against the sky
Then the whole earth AS far as the eve could
reach sank, and its place was supplied by
a sea Of waters, rushing, scethinS, boiling
with the noise Of mighty cataracts, and
ever and anon casting to the surface the
roots, and tops, and bodies ofmi2hty pines
and oaks. The country in every direction
is entirely submerged and is now one vast
lake. 1t is rumorc0 that the town Of Or.
lando is swallowed up, and the whole cl,ain
of lakes from Apaka to lake Canway arc
now united aud form an immense inland
sea. The people are flying .error-s!rickcn
from the scene Of the disaster.

total cash value of farms and farming im-
piiments and machinery in that State was
S5l,375,3l0, against Sl46,556,71S in

increased from S35, ,5S5, OFT to s37 964, ,725,
the number and valuation in 1860, which
may be accounted for in degree by the
difficulties of exact enumeration. The

aud mules from 1851 to II ,553 Wheat
product has almost tripled, and is returned
at l6,676.702 bushels. The Indian corn
crop has more than doubled, aud oats and
barley each nearly doubled. The value Of
orchard products in 1870 was 81 ,3S4, ,4S0,
against S754 ,236 in 1860. OF wine, 24G,-

A Large Farm.

The largest farm in the United States,
or in any other country, probably, is that
of Mr.. Nj. l.. Sullivant, in Illinois, of the
scope and management of which, Harper
Of last week has an interesting sketch, with
illustrations. We gather the facts that Mr..
Sullivaut commenced twenty years ago to
take up land at government price (avcrage
S1,25), and continued until he had pur-
chased nearly one hundred thousand acres.
OF this, he sold farm of twenty thousand
acres to Mr. Alexander, the we'll known
grazier and agriculturist, for a quarter of
million of dollars. That farm is now
valued at more than six hundred thousand
dollars In 1868, Mr.. Sullivant commenced
work on his farm, which is known as +" Burr
Oak" with thousand acres of corn. In
the following year five thousand acres were
put in, and in 1870 nine thousand acres,
and this year he has eleven thousand acres
of corn which promise an average Of forty
five bushels to the acre.. In addition, he
has FIVE thousand acres Of other crops
sixteen thousand acres cultivated by one
owner, The estate comprises over forty
thousand acres-sixty-fve square miles.
The number of hands employed is over two
bundred and fifty two hundred aud twen-
ty-fve ploughs are used; one hundred and
torty-two cultivators forty-fve corn plant
ers. There are on the estate three hum
dred and fifty mules, fifty horses and fifty
yoke Of cattle and twelve hundred hogs
Twenty five hundred acres of tame grass
arc cut, and some wild. Everything on
this mammoth farm is reduced to system.
The men work in gangs under competent
guides. All the mechanical requirements,
such as blacksmith, carpenter and machine
work, is done upon the promises, and, in
word, the farm is as we'll managed, and
everything is kept as " snug" as upon

ONLY AN IDEA.-Povcrty is only an
idea 10 nine cases out Of ten. Some men
with ten thousand dollars year suffer
more for want of means than others with
five hundred dollars. The reason is, the
richer man has artificial wants. His in
come is ten thousand dollars year, aud he
suffers in being dunned for unpaid debts
to kill asensitive man. A man that earns
a dollar day and does not go into debt is
the happier of the two. Very few people
who have never been rich will believe this
bat it is true. There are thousands aud
thousands with princely incomes who
never; know a minutes peace. There is
really more happiness among the working
men in the world than. among those who
are called rich. i3jssH

DB- President Grant has declined to be
present at the re opening of a railroad in
Canada, alledging as reason that it has
not been customary for President of the
United States to leave the country during
his term ofoffice. There are certain other
things which other Presidents never did.
They did not grow rich by accepting pres
ents from office seekers they did not fill
lucrative Offices with their relations they
did not spend months in idlcness at fash.
ionable watering places. IF Grant had
followed the example of his predecessors,
he need not have been ashamed to make
brief visit to Canada.
