THE Irish Citizen, though a Demo
cratic paper, has the candor to say:
"Hon. George B. Hollister, who is urged
by his friends as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for one of the new
Common Pleas Judgeships, is lawyer of
ripe experience, high standing and un-
questionable ability and fitness for the
bench, Judicial positions do not come
within the strict line of political offices,
and in the selection of Judges people
should and do pay more than the usual
regard to the character and fitness of the
individual. Judge Hollister, if a candi-
date, will draw largely from the vote Of
all parties and all nationalities."

An INTERESTING HIsToRICAL RELIC. The
Western New Yorker has the following:
Last week huge section of the famous
big tree of GeneSeO was transferred from
the homestead of the Hon. Jas. w. Wads-
worth to the Indian Council-house grounds,
situated on the hills overlooking Glen Iris
at Portage. This tree, renowned in histOr-
ical annals, stood close on the banks of the
Genesee River at Geneseo. Some years ago
Notwithstanding the efforts TO save it by
piles driven along the bank, it was under
mined by flood, to the great regret
of those interested in its preserva-
ton. 1t was at ore time insured by Mr.
| Wadsworth against floods in the sum Of
500 On its fall, its immense bole was cut
up into sections, which have, up to the
present time, been preserved with great
care by the Wadsworth family. Through
their liability and laudable desire to link
together in a still more permanent form
the Indian history of Genesee County, the
section referred to has been donated by
them to the already large collection of In
dian and pioneer relics of the Genesee
| Valley country by Hon. VIM. P. Letch-
worth. Mr.. L. is about erecting a stone
structure as safe depository for these his
toric remains, in which the names of
donors and the history of each article
| will be recorded. IhlS tree was as
sociated with the great Indian Treaty
of 1709 by which was conveyed to
the white people all the territory lying be-
tween the Genessee River and Lake Erie and
the Pennsylvania border and Lake Ontario,
the Indian reservations excepted. THE
White Woman" tract containing about
eighteen thousand acres, was also conveyed
to her at this time. Thomas Morris, son of
Robert Morris represented on this occasion
his fathers interest, jeremiah Wadsworth
represented the United States, and General
William Shepherd Massachusetts, Red
Jacket Corn-Planter, Farmers Brothers
and all the principal chiefs of the Seneca
Nation participated in the treaty. Through
the courtesy Of the officials of the Erie Rail
way Company the transfer from Avon to
Portage OF this section of the "Big Tree, "
which weighed several TONS was made free.
