head, and instantly killed. His head wa

Mr. Goodrich saw his danger, but wa
unable to avoid IT, owing to the lowness o

ting to be tearluhy frequent, aud 1t would
seem as though some provision should be de
vised, under the authority Of the Legislature
by which they, as well as the equally com
mon and fatal casualties in coupling cars
should be rendered impossible. 1t is only !
question of ingenuity and money to max
them so. Mr. Goodrich was valuable citi

deeply and widely felt. His age was fifty
seven years. His remains were taken to hi

The trunk of the tree is seven feet and eight
inches in circumference. Last year it bore
ten bushels, and in 1870, thirty bushels.

from fifty to two hundred bushels, this year
having from five to twenty-five bushels.

These pictures are so perfect in themselves,

perhaps, the most perfect idea Of their orig

seeing them. The attendants on the exhibit
