twentv-three candidates for confirmation
from his own political party and but one
republican, Mr.. Hayes. of Sagadahoc, who
has been many years Clerk of Courts.
The Council, after consulting their politi-
cal friends. and considering what would
be for the best interests of the State. have
concluded to give all the Fusion Counties
the officers of their choice-giving His Ex-
eellency. the Governor, the opportunity to
employ the same liberaitv, and to nomi-
nate in republican counties, officers of
that political faith. thus vindicating the
will of the people. Their course has been
entirely proper and will, we are convinced
win the approval of all fair-minded men

A Wonderful Tree.
A MArLE WHOSE LEAVES NEVER FALL, Dis
COVERED BY JERSEY FARMER.

farmer living near Schooley Mountain
has greatly excited his Deighbors by an &C.
count Of a wonderful tree which he discoy.
cred several years ago and which he has been
watching ever since. He says that for three
years II has gone through the cold weather
without shedding leaf. II is q maple tree.
and its sap makes very good maple sugar.
The farmer noticed 1t first while following the
trail of fox up over the mountain. early in
December. 1873. All the other trees, even Of
the same species, were entirely bare, while
this tree had not, to all appearances, lost a
single leaf. There were no dried leaves un.
derneath it, and the leaves on the branches
were all green. 1t was with great difficulty
that leaf could be pulled from the twix TO
which it was fastened, and strong breeze
which was blowing Mt the time, had no effect
upon the leaves. So astonished was the dis
coverer at the phenomenon that he forgot all
about the fox he was after and the cold char
acter Of the day, and spent several hours ex-
amining the tree. He went home greatly
puzzled. and returned several days later with
a clergyman living in the vicinity. They de-
termined to mark several Of the leaves and
see how long thes remained where they were
They also resolved to keep the thing secret
and watch its progress until spring. This
they did When April arrived the leaves
"bith tHtF nan were JUST ae XreGn
and fresh as in December, and the tree itself
was not affected in the least by the severity
Of the weather and the many windy blasts
Tne bark was tapped every week and Weld
ed plentiful supply Of sap; enough 10 keep
both the farmer and the minister's families ii,
syrup all winter long. The same has been
tried ever since; not leaf has fallen 20 the
best Of their belief since the day the tree was
noticed. and the sap has flowed with the same
regularity and profusion. As far az can be
asceriained. there is no cause for the rnyste-
rIous vitality Of that particular maple There
is nothing in the soil or sub-soil to render
growth more available or make the trunk and
branches better able TO stand the storms and
