1t appears that those big trees at Mar
iposa and Claveras are not the best that
California can produce. They have
found one at Visalia, forty feet in diam
eter with the bark off, and the bark had
six feet of thickness. 1t is strange that
these slender saplings have been over
looked SO long. We presume the town
of Visalia consists of narrow belt of
land around the tree.

which followed, Johnson, in a fury of
rage, struck child of FOntaine's, then
in it's nurses arms, which for time ap-
peared to endanger it's life. AS soon as
Fontaine heard of this he gave the

her to touch it soon led to his arrest.

MERITED HoNoRs. s.-We are especially
gratified to notice that Middlebury Col
lege has done itself and the man the
honor of comforting the degree of LID.
on Hon. Asahel Peck, of Montpelier,
one of the judges of the Supreme Court.
He is among the ablest jurists of the
country, a man learned in law. whose
whole life has been devoted to the legal
profession,-a man of pure motives, up
right integrity, and enjoying the entire
confidence of the bar and the people. 1t
is rarely that this degree is so fittingly
bestowed or has been so richly earned as
in the case of Judge Peck.
Another honor fittingly bestowed was
the degree of d. d. on Rev. II. S. Cush-
man, pastor of the Congregational
church at Manchester. He is a clergy
man honored among all the churchesand
loved by all the people-a faithful, quiet
and genial laborer in his Masters service.
