A Taste OF Maine Birch.
By JOIN BURRoUGIis.

The traveller and camper-out in Maine,
portions. has less reason to remember it
as a pine-tree State than a birch-tree State
The white pine forests have melted away
like snow in the spring and gone down
stream. leaving only patches here and
there in the more remote and inaccessible
parts. The portion of the State saw.
the valley of the Kennebec and the woods
about Moxie Lake. had been shorn of its
pine timber more than forty years before,
and is now covered with thick growth
of spruce and cedar and various desiduous
trees. But the birch abounds. Indeed
when the pine goes out the birch comes
in; the race of men exceeds the race of
giants. This tree has great stay-at-home
virtues Let the sombre, aspiring. mys-
terious pines go; the birch has humble
everyday uses. In Maine. the paper or
canoe birch is turned to more account
than any other tree Uncle Nathan, our
guide. said it was made especially for the
camper-out; yes. and for the woodman
and froutiersman generally. 1t is mag

ease. We saw many rude structures and
cabins shingled and sided with it, and
hay-stacks capped with it. Near maple
sugar camp there was alarge pile OF birch
bark sap-buckets-e bucket made
of a piece of bark about a yard square,
folded up as the tinman folds up sheet
of tin to make square vessel. the cor
ners bent around against the sides and
held bv a wooden pin. When. one day,
we were overtaken by shower in travel
ing through the woods. our guide quickly
stripped the large sheets of the bark from
a near tree, and we had each perfect
umbrella AS by magic. When the rain

these bark cups. 1t is exactly the thing.
1t just fits the mouth, and it seems to give
new virtues to the water. 1t makes me
thirsty now when think of it. In our
camp at Moxie we made a large birch
box to keep the butter in; and the butter
in this box. covered with some leafv
boughs. l think improved in fiavss day

to mollify and sweeten it little. and I
think birch bark will do it. In camp Un-

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, S. c., January 24.--Owing to the
recent bad weather, of which we have had a
great deal this winter, the roads in some sec
lions of the county are almost impossible.
Our country friends find it difficult to come
to town. Some cotton is brought in, howev-
er, and commands fair price. Fire wood is
an important article just now, and commands
a good price in this market. And this de-
mand may probably increase for at the pres
ent time snow is falling thick and fast
Among the conten plated improvements
about town, is a new residence of Mr.. d. h.
Goble, on his lot near the depot. He has the
lumber already Oh the ground, and will com,
mence building as soon as the weather will
permit. =.
The construction train has reached this
place with steel rails for the G. G. q A. Rail-
road. The freight business Of this road is
heavy. Much of the freight shipped over the
road to this place is for Lancaster and other
points on the Cheraw and Chester Railroad.
it is stated that the new Town Council pro-
pose to McAdamize the street leading from
the public square to the depot.
Communion services were held at the Pres
hyterian church last Sunday, by Rev. G. A
Trenholm, the pastor, assisted by Rev. 1. r..

Church. CHESTER.

them, and thus rejoice great Ireland beyond

traversers, and thereby condemn the so-called
Liberal Ministers, who have been bounded
on by the London press. The court room
was crowded with spectators Mr.. Sullivan
appealed to the jury not to incur the obloquy
that Mr.. Gladstone asks them to at time
when he was preparing measures OF land re-
form to obtain himself fresh glory and power.
At the close of his speech the audience cheer
ed loudly and lady threw boquet to Mr.
Sullivan. Mr.. Heron, in replying tor the
Crown, said the jury had to decide that social
ism should not obtain footing IN Western
Europe, and asserted that the traversers had
preached sedition and murder, Court then
adjourned. Mr.. Parnell will not 60 to Dub

1T has been said that he who makes two blades
+ of grass grow where but one grew before, Is
benefactor. We do not lay claim to any such
honor, but if we can put within the reach of the
farmer the means by which he can produce a
bale of cotton at one half the expense which he
formerly incurred in it's production, we claim to
have conferred on him benefit. In support of
the economy practiced in the use of our I'M
proved Harris Fertilizer, we submit the following
letters:
YoRxvILLE, S. c., December, $780,
DIR. J. c. KUYKENDAL: Having used eight
tons of your Harris Fertilizer on my cotton the
past season, would state that am entirely salts
fed with the result and have no hesitancy in re-
commencing its use to farmers who want first
class manure at moderate price.
From one horse crop, on which nothing but
your Fertilizer was used, gathered eleven bales
OF cotton weighing 400 pounds net: The total
cost of the manure, including 40 bushels of cot
ton seed, being $500.
also used it side by side with one of the best
grades of Ammoniated Guano and neither /.
nor my neighbors who inspected my crop, could
see particle of difference in the cotton, either in
growth Of weed. or amount of fruit although there
was a large difference in the price of the ma
nures-your Fertilizer costing me only about
one-half as much as the Guano.
Yours very respectfully,
