TIMBER IN EUROPE.

Some European countries are almost
as bad off, as far as supply of timber is
concerned, as is the United States. Ac-
cording to French agricultural jour-
nal, the oak of Sweden and Norway is
about exhausted, and they are compelled
to buy their wood in Poland, and the
pine is being rapidly removed. The for
ests of Russia, along the shores of the
Baltic, in Finland and in the southern
provinces, have been so rapidly thinned
that the forest area of the empire is now
only one-tenth. The forests Of Ger
many are we'll cared for. and there are
now in that empire about 34,000,000
acres of forest lover half of which is in
Prussia), valued at about 100000, 600
andproducingan income annually of more
than $50,000,000. The greatest effort
is made to preserve the forests of Ger
many and to increase the forest acreage
(about 100000 being annually expend-
ed in replanting by the state), and the
imports exceed the exports by over
1900 tons. There are about 100000
acres of forest in Austria. Austria,
however, has SO recklessly cut her for
ests that she is now obliged to buymost
of her timber in Bosnia and Montene-
gro. Servia, Roumania and Portugal
have good forests, but the fine forests of
Italy and Spain are so situated that they
cannot reach a market when cut. It
would seem that the United States
might proftably follow the example of
Germany and save her forests. South
Australia is at present engaged in this
work and planting trees on an extensive
scale.

For THE REGISTER
THOMAS I'll. GIBSON.

The subject of the following account is
a colored man now a resident of Salem,
and the only colcred man who claims to
be Friend IN the county of Salem. His
mode of thinking and worship is in accord
with the religious Society of Friends. He
IS the son Of John Gibson, who was
drowned at what is called Hester's Stop
ing, In the year 1870, in the going out of
the tide at that place. After the death of
his father he was placed an apprentice to
learn the business of farming, with Asa
Kirby, In the township of Upper PENIS
Neck, as shown by his indenture, at nine
years of age, and as remembered by him.
HIS tirst master and mistress both died
during his apprenticeship; but he found
good friend in the son of his first mas
ter, Asa Kirby, Jr. To the offspring OF
this family, he retains in his old age an
abiding regard, on account of the great
kindness he received from their parents
when little orphan boy, manifesting
gratitude in these later years of life for
kindness received in early boyhood.
The Integrity and stability of this man
are worthy of limitation by many OF his
race. He has been mostly in the employ
OF one family for the last foriy-four years
of his life. Of this family he knows some
thing OF four generations. Although his
early opportunities at school were very lim
tied, yet after he went apprentice he OBJ
tanned learning and knowledge useful
to him in early manhood and in after
years oflife. He has kept a journal of
his life for fifty two years, and 1t COM
prises several volumes of quite interest
ing matter, of the events of the neighbor-
hood, weather, marriages, deaths, etc.
His sight has failed him the past two years
by the growth of cateract.
1t may not be uninteresting, and perhaps
qualification to the friends of his youth
and the few remaining of his schoolmates,
TO know that he is now blest with a com
potency for his old age that there Is no
necessity for hard labor and unceaslng
toll at this time of life. He is not an ldler.
but yet likes occupation. He has to
large degree the respect and confidence
of citizens and friends in the town.
After the expiration of his apprentice
ship, he went to sea and travelled consid-
erably, was on the ferry boats at Camden
for several years, also was three years as
night Waterman in one of the large manu-.
featuring establishments in Connecticut,
He was oace married, but has no children.
His kindness and marked attention to his
wife in her years of declining health often
struck the writer as one of the beautiful
examples in life. SO muchsto be admired.
In the city of Salem, Thomas H. Gibson
is respected, and many have kind word
for him as he passes and repasses in his
quiet and unassuming way. He is now
in the SD year of his age.
