A Big yolusia Orange Trees.

From the Tdvares Herald.
The Florida Union, mentions with
pride an Orange Tree near Jackson~
Vile from which the owner has real~
lied $43.45. There is tree near
the mouth OF the lake on the Volusia
county side from which $4,000 orr
anges have been picked. The price
realized averaged fully two cents per
orange, making the income from this
tree $500. The yield from it has de-
clined since then, however, owing to
neglect, high water and other causes.
This tree has undoubtedly borne
more oranges in year than any
other one in the State. The width
through the foliage was about forty

| The american AntiQuary.
The material and preparation OF
the Florida Shell Heap vessels differ
from that of other mounds as those
along the coast region of that same
State and others found throughout
the United States the clay, else.
where is mingled largely with broken
shells and sand, in the Florida speci>
mems almost pure clay is used seldom
showing any admlxture of sand,
though at times vegetable fibre is
present which produces cellular
and porous structure, which the orr.
ginal makers have in part overcome
by the use OF an outside film of slip
clay. In ornameutation the speci.
mems are markedly inferior to those
from other localities, less deliberately
adorned. and display only rude and
primitive conception OF artistic de-
sign. They indicate in this respect
an earlier origin than the fictile
wares from the coast mounds or those
found in later burial places. Stone
implements were found in inconsider-
able numbers, though numerous
enough to prove the acquaintance of
the shell-heap makers with flint
clippings, and, though seldom buried
deep in the piles, were incontestably
coeval with their formation. They
consist Of rudely cut cells, stone
chisels, knives or scrapers, arrow
heads, chips and fragments, all
clearly the works of mems hands.
Implements Of bone were more FREE
quent, but apparently limited to avis
and piercers, an Office for which bone
then, and since, seems very generally
reserved. Implements OF shell, as
might have been anticipated, were
common, though very slightly, if at
all, varied in form, consisting of rec>
tangular bits ground down to edges
on one side, forming an efficient
scraper, cleaner or bone wedge. Per-
forated shells, possibly used for orr
nament, are found near the upper
surface of the mounds, and drinking
cups made from the large univalve,
Busycon perversa, are similarly found
near the surface. These last objects
are recent, and may have been
known to the Indians who succeeded,
at long remove, the aboriginal in>
habitants. Pipes and metals are
both absent. Human bones were
found from top to bottom Of these
heaps-skulls, legs, arms and bodies
and while some were unbroken
and entire, the condition of others
suggested the unwelcome thought of
their having formed part of a cans
nibal's repast, "a conclusion which
some recent examinations by Lieut..
Wedges strengthen. He found large
bones, whose marrow might justly
torn an attractive feature in an abo>
riginal dinner, opened lengthwise,
and bearing every evidence of a de-
signed cleavage. Cannibalism was
really SO common among our Indians
at the arrival of the white men that
it would scarcely seem surprising to
find its antecedents hidden in these
early works.

Good Results will Follow.

AS general rule editorial iunket-
ings result in little more than plea.
surable enjoyment Tor short season,
and a barrenness of solid, lasting
impressions made upon the minds of
the junketers. But the visit of the
Ohio editors to Florida a few weeks
since-if we judge alone by what
appears heartfelt expressions of graft
tude, hrotherly love, and even inor.
dinate pleasures beyond anticipation,
in the attractions of our State, and
the hospitality of our people-will
prove an exception to the rule, and
wholesome results will follow.
These northern men found the
heart in the hands which clasped
theirs, and bid them welcome to our
more genial climate. Without that
stiff formality which pertains to
studied receptions on occasions of
official visits, they encountered gen.
ulne, honest reception and welcome
to hearthstones of brothers-no envy,
no jealousy or misgivings observable
In any of the many occasions where
they met our people.
Then, too, the natural attractions
the unaccustomed advance of sea- |
sonable productions-did not fail in
arousing degree of adm ration
which will be lasting.
The manner in which the editors
give expressions and utterarces OF
their enjoyable visit, shows plainly

Launching of the New Steamer
Spring Garden.

Spring Garden.
Last Saturday we Witnessed the
successful launching, at Spring Gar
den, os first.class side-wheel steam.
er, built just below the Big Spring,
by Mr.. w. Hagarty, an experienced
shipwright and steamboat craftsman,
of Pittsburgh, Pa.
The boat was built for Commo-
dore A. Hart Norris, of Genessee
county, N. Y, 10 accommodate and
enhance the interests of the people
of Yolusia county.
The steamer is 65 feet hull, ~ feet
beam, and 6S feet on lower deck.
The model of the hull is faultless,
and when the cabin is completed. she
will be pronounced ga thing of beau
ty."
When it is remembered that Mr..
Hagarty had no experienced hands
to assist him--that none of the work.
men even knew the names Of the diff
ferent parts Of the vessel, or had ever
done such work-an idea may be
formed of the difficulties he had to
encounter and the necessary amount
of toll to secure such favorable res
suit as this boat promises to be.
At 2 o'clock, all being in readi-
ness, Commodore Norris, accompa>
MED by Miss Carrie B. Lee, a beau-
tiful young lady, gained the deck.
and, the ropes being cut, the boat
glided slowly but evenly into the
water, as Miss Lee broke the bottle
on the prov and christened the
"SPRING GARDEN" amid cheers and
the whistling Of the steam tug IN
readiness to convey her to Button,
where the new machinery was to be
put on board, and the hull then ta>
ken back to be completed at the Big
Spring.
There was goodly number press
ent to witness the launch, but many
others were half an hour too late to
see sliding into the water the nicely
constructed vessel built on the edge
Of hammock. Mr.. Hagarty has
shown that he FPS ability and skill,
and the Comm@ flores boat will prove
an honor to the builder, and, we
hope, source otprofit to the enter
prising owner, who looked as happy
on this occasion as "a big sunfower."
In reaching the Big Spring, we
took the road through Major George
Norris fine grove of over one hum
bred acres. He was at his packing
house, surrounded by large force,
all busy in packing oranges tor ship>
ment, which he does twice week,
sending off between five and six
hundred boxes. The Major has as
fine fruit as grows IN Florida, amid
the thousands of heavily laden trees,
and courteously took us to several
points and presented us with speci>
mems of as luscious oranges as ever
tickled the palate Of a thirsty mortal.
Tens of thousands may be seen in
piles under the trees, going to wastes
and it appeared to ue that 1000 ex-
ira boxes might be shipped from the
grove weekly. The total shipments
he expects to make is estimated at
eight thousand boxes.
