In Florida No one should visit this state
without seeing this famous orange grove.
On our first visit to this place my attention
was attracted to the beautiful walks and a
mound with the words Harris Grove"
the letters being made Of sea shells. The
coy dwelling Is occupied by G. II. Steb-
bins, the superintendent of the grove, a
gentleman who is ready and willing to re-
ply to oil inquiries. Here you can see
some eight hundred bearing orange trees,
loaded with the golden fruit. lie informs
us that the average yield is about five
hundred thousand oranges yearly. The
whole air is made fragrant BY its delicious
| fruit In connection with the orange tree,
| omitted to mention the sour orange tree,
which is grown in every yard and along all
the walks. ] can count one hundred in
sight of the hall, loaded with fruit, and the
| fruit remains all winter unmolested, for
the reason that they are not fit to cat until |
the sweet oranges are gone. think that |
If your streets and park were adorned with |
orange shade trees, loaded with the golden |
| fruit, fn the month Of January, my old |
friend, George Crawford, would have his
hands full to protect them.

Mr. Hart tells me that during the late
rebellion the Yankees made it rather warm
for him in this town They took possession
of bis property. His commission was a
Quartermastor in the confederate army,
principally for furnishing mules The
Putnam house was built and owned by him
at the time, and was used for a hospital,
and his private residence as headquarters
for the federal troops. ! asked him If the
Yankees left any relics for him. He said
if | would go with him he would show me
few mementoes. In the barn which now
stands they cut out all the cross tmbors (or
, heams) but one, and used all the flooring
| Not satisfied with this, they took all of his
, furniture and carried away his coored ser
want together with the family of fourteen
children, and cut down his orange groves,
c aud when leaving set fire to the town, but
, the fire was put out by an old Dutchman.
