On Wednesday of this week, c. Chamberlain,
ESQ. of Foxcron, was before the Committee on Ag.
riculture upon the matter introduced in the House
on Monday by Mr.. Reed of Waldoboro-"The
growth and preservation of forest trees" Mr.. c.,
as member of the Board of Agriculture of this
State, has given this subject great attention; and
as the author of a memorial to the legislature of
1862 has presented array of facts and theories,
startling in their nature and magnitude and put
with o force that should arrest the attention OF
every statesman and lover Of his country. The
memorial is preserved in the Legislative Docu.
ments of 49, and also in the Agricultural Report Of
that year, pages 65 to 81 inclusive If the physical
condition Of our country is effected by the acts Of
man to the degree that is here claimed-and who is
ready to dispute it ?then the future statesman-and
not remotely future either-has an important mis-.
sion compared with which, railway charter or
the care of shell-fsh is nothing. The committee
have reported bill, which is very modest and
sensible one, prospective and not immediate in
effect, and it has the merit of costing nothing to
rive it a fair trial. We commend the scheme 10 the
most favorable consideration.

A bill 10 now before the Legislature, nomi-
nally to tax savings banks, but really to es-
tablish rich mems deposit banks on the ruin
of poor mems savings banks. 1t has become
the practice Of late for many Of the savings
banks to receive unlimited amounts on depos-
it from rich men, until it has become crying
evil, and the Legislature is called upon to tax
savings banks indiscrimir ately-the widows
mite and the child's dollar, the poor mans
savings with the rich mans thousands. Such
savings banks and their rich depositors favor
this bill, because these great deposits in sums
OF thousands of dollars become thereby ex-
empt from all other taxation than the one
half of one per cent. provided by it. This
small tax is but trife to the rich, and the
payment Of it, in fact, is only bonus paid by
them to be exhonerated from paying legiti-
mate tax-but it is burden and discourage
ment to the poor man, who by hard labor and
self-denial has been able to accumulate few
hundred dollars for the contingencies of old
age. According to the last Bank Examiners
report e,ghty-three out of every hundred de-
positors have on deposit less than five hun.
dred dollars. Should such deposits be taxed?
No man OF reflection, unless his heart was
harder than the neither milestone, would an
swer in the affirmative. Let all savings banks
be restricted to the reception Of a reasonable
sum from each depostor, and make the law a
protective one for the poor man, and not as
the present bill, which provides that the rich
shall escape just and equitable taxation. So
ciety, within the realm OF christianity, is be-
ing convulsed by the social problem of rela-
ton Of the rich to the poor. The mutterings of
the coming CONFUSION are increasing year by
year. Why aggravate it by such unwise leg
islationf Why, too, afford to our young men
another justification for emigration by such an
illiberal law, thereby discouraging their eff
forts, by small savings out of small earnings, to
gain the means of establishing themselves at
home? hope wiser councils will prevail be-
fore the final passage of this bill.

he argued 10 chiefly inherited. lie illus

then that the seeds of intermittent and remittent
fevers of rheumatism and rheumatic govt, of OBJ
stinate stomach complaints, of disorders of the
liver and bowels, and a whole host of pulmonary
and nervous complaints are sown.
The best, the surest way to prevent this disas-
trous seeding is to inyigorate and refresh the sys
tenn with course of the Bters. If this precaution
be taken now, there Will be no danger OF the mi
asmatic germs taking root in the fluids and tissues
OF the body and bringing forth terrible fruit in the
spring. Now is the time for prevention. Remem-
Der that vigor is the only safeguard against the
virus of disease and that Hostetters Bitters is the
purest, the safest the most powerful and perfect
invigorant ever administered, either protective
medicine or remedy. A change of season ap.
