"A forest in Madison county, Tn.

"A forest in Madison county, In.
diana, is attracting attention from the
remarkable growth and symmetry Of
its trees, its poplars being especially
noticeable. Groups of poplars are
found everywhere through the woods
measuring twenty feet in circunfer-
ence, or about seven feet in diameter
each. A poplar was recently hewn
down and cut up that measured eighty
feet in length, sixty of which was
clear timber. The trunk was four
feet in diameter at the top where the
last log was sawed off: Another pop
lar still standing has attained nam.
moth proportions. A rope thirty
three feet in length is necessary to
girdle its trunk where the diameter is
greatest. Were the trunk hollow, a
man and horse could easily enter it,
and have abundant room to turn
around within its capacious limits
The largest tree of all has a trunk
measuring eleven feet in diameter at
distance of as many feet from the
ground. The tree was actually SO
large that no attempt to cut it down
was made, A deep girdle was cut
and the tree deadened. 1t stood for
years, and when the wind blew a
light gale the bark would drop down
by the wagon load.

per was prepared promiscuousiy by the
ladies OF the town, but was one that
would rival any we have seen in long
while. And here let me say, the thanks
of all are due Mr.. and Mrs. Mart. Tay-
lor. who kindly rendered the use OF
their dining room and kitchen for the
occasion. After supper, promenating
and various kinds Of games were in
troduced-one of which. by vonng
dentist. who lives not thousand
miles from the city of Albany, | must
mention-''C Copenhagen" 1t would
be useless for me to attemp to describe
it; suffice tito say, it is rather a qles-
tionable play for gents who wear pa
per collars, and ladies with bnstles, to
engage in. Great credit Is due the Ia
dies who were the prime movers In
the affair, as the receipts were near
$75. which win be applied In the pur-
chase of carpet for the church.
As we have had but little of this
kind of amusement this winter, q sur
prise party was given last evening at
Mr.. Wager's, on which occasion Rev.
W. r. Bishop was made the happy re-
cipient of bran new stove-pipe hat,
from the hands Of the young ladies Of
this place. Our friend 0. P. Tomp-
kins was selected to make the presenta-
tion speech. He succeeded first rate
until about half way through, when his
heart failed him, and-well. he
had the courage to give Mr.. Bishop
the hat, at any rate. Mr.. B. respond
ed in a few short. but well-timed re-
marks, when the crowd dispersed.
Mart. Taylor will give another one
of his entertainments at the City Hall
on Friday evening, 3lst inst, in con.

There have been but few transactions
in tile wheat market, tor the past few
days, as dealers are Indifferent about

farmers seem to think the decline is
only temporary. The price has been
kept up to zoe until to-day we quote at
65c. It is rumored that the Harris
burg mills will soon be closed down,
except for custom work, the proprie-
tors thinking it will be more to their
advantage to sell the wheat, than to
grind. X. @. b.
