South Newport correspondence Darien Ga
Eette. 1T was thought last month and almost
up % the present date, that the turpentiue
men who were cutting new crops thus season
had very fair prospect, from the TACT that
black beetle had attacked the trees and that all
gu6ieC, 90 their ravages would die. and as
nearly every tree showed signs OF being infes-
ted with them at its first cutting, the prospect
vas indeed gloomy. / am happy 70 say that
from my almost daily inspection of the trees
in my immediate neighbOrhOOd. and a recent
TIP in Liberty showed that the ravages have
almost entirely ceased and very few trees have
died TO is thought by some that this beetle is
the prOgenitOr Of the worm commonly known
az the sawyer. whose attack is known to be
certain death 10 the tree, but this belief has no
good foundation, and il is hoped as this is not
an established fact the epoch CT danger has
passed. The very forward spring has put this
class on crOppers. the turpentine men. to their
trumps, the trees are Sielding sap at an al
most rushing speed and they are troubled TO
gather &c fast enough"
