A Big Book.

We read of what promises to be the
biggest book in the world. It is now
in process of manufacture in Paris, and
will contain the names of all the in
hab,tants of Alsace and Lorraine who

remain French subjects. The list is
said to comprise $50, 900 names. One
hundred and twenty-five compositors
have been employed on the work dur
ing the last three months. ltis printed
on seven presses, aud the volume will
include ID, 1G3 pages. A valuable
work, no doubt, but not one which we
would wish to read through at sitting.

Of what Is TO be at no distant day Eden Of Amer
lea:
Ne portion OF Ohio Is 70 day developing as
rapidly IS what was onco known as the Black
Swamp region. The prsphcsy that this country
should bloom as the rose is now verified. The
sun shines not en- richer soil, and cheers ne
happier or more prosperous people. Full Of
nerve, energy and enterprise, they mean go
ahead; aud they have got good ways, and
yet there is long journey before them. For
this land, pouring as it does its rich treasures
ever our once beautiful inland seas, and on the
many lines Of railroad TO the markets of the
world, is to be ct no distaBt day mare thickly
settled than any other portion Of the United
States. With a soil rich as the waters of the
Nile, inundated aud vast in oxtent, laying
between and on the great thoroughfare from
east to west, just skirting the mineral regions
and lying near the best that the world has
developed. Nsrth western Ohio will not onl :
be the garden-spot Of the world, but its manu-
fasturiss, a. no distant day. should bid defanc-
to competition anywhere, FOR it possesses within
itself aud its immediate surroundings all that is

EDIroR PERRYsBURo JoUENAL:-As the sea-
son Of tree planting is about at hand, a few
thoughts relative to grnwti. OF trees, conditions,
ETC., may be seasouable. We have had
very severe winter and oyer large extent Of
territory the severity of cold has been so grca'
as to seriously injure all frnit trees but the
so.called "lron-clads," /. e. those Of the crab
family. We hear from all the Western States
Of most serious rayagos OF FROST rendering
mos. va. ieiies OF apple trees and all pear and
cherry trees pnlt for transp lauting. Even in
Southern Ohio, Pennsylvania and D elaware the
mercury marked as low as 90 to q below zers
few localities, as the Michigan peach beii
and the southeast shores Of Lakes Ontario and
Erie have been highly favored, being protected
by the Lakes from extremes Of cold or heat.
We have here long cold winters and late
springs, but no severe frosts; the mercury ouly
Indicating IL 10 Ii below zero last winter, and
that was colder than for several years before
As cool weather comes on early in the fall trees
stop growing and ri?en their wo"d well, and
late springs keep them back until all danger
from frosis is past.
Everything combines to render Western New
York highly favorable for growing ,he best
quality OF fruit trees. We have only one draw
back. Our trees cannot be delivered early in
spring and people do not see that trees which
are kept dormant by removing are in the best
conditian to grow when set, even though il may
be quite late in May. This fact is well known
! to all lruit growers and is often discussed in
! horticultural meengs-that the forwardness
| oi the seasan when Trees are set has nothing TO
| do with their living or doing well but the con-
! diuUn and quality Of the trees and the ncces-
| sary requisites. People are often IN too great
hurry to plant trees the first warm day in
! sprpg, while the ground is wet, cold and
heavy. Ii planted then, tho soil packs around
them hard Ms a Drick, and when hot weather
comes ON will crack open, letting sun and
heat dry up the trees. We never set trees
until May; then prepare the ground we'll;
| plant no deeper than the trees grow Mulch
about them with old straw and make them
