THE ELECTION TODAY.

To-day the election for the choice of
permanent seat of government for West Vir.
ginia. in connection with the regular school
election, taxes places. That the veters of
Jefferson will support Martinsburg is ex-
pected by our brethren of the county of
Berkeley. Although Mar.insburg may not
have the best showing in tho irst election,
her strongest hope is thst she will receive q
sufficient vote in that election to be retained
as q participant in the second contest, in
which she has every reason to believe she
will come out victorious. Support her, there
fore, voters of Jefferson, in the first fight. so
that when the final charge is made. she may
not be dropped from the lis, of competitors
for the PRICE at stake.

The subject of tree planting has now be.
come a m,tter of life and death in some parts
OF the country. Wherever country has
been stripped bare of its primitive forest cloth
ing the effects have been disastrous. Some
parts of this country. once renowned for Ter

Timber also has become scarce and dear In
view of these facts the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural Society has offered a series of prizes
for the encouragement of tree planting in
that State the awards to be made in ten years
from the first Of March next for the best re-
>u1ts produced in the interval. It is esti>
mated that over a million of trees will be

hereafter planted for period of ten years.
