The plant worship, which holds SO
prominent place in the history Of the
primitive races of mankind, would APP
pear to have sprung from perception
Of the beauty and utility of trees. Sur
vivals of this still linger ON in many
parts of Europe. The peasants in Bohe-
mia will sally forth into their gardens
before sunrise ON Good Friday and. fall
ing upon their knees before tree, will
exclaim; 81 pray, o green tree, that God
may make thee good" At night time
they will run to and fro about their gar
dens crying: bud, o trees, bud, or
will fog YOU"
In our own country the Devonshire
farmers and their men win to this day
go out into their orchards after supper
ON the evening of Twelfth day, carrying
with them large milk pail of cider,
with roasted apples pressed into it. All
present hold in their hands an earthen-
ware cup filed with liquor, and taking
up their stand beneath those apple trees
which have borne the most fruit, address
them in these words

their cups over the trees. The observ-

known as "wassailing,' is enjoined by
Thomas Tusser in his work entitled

this is in print the new Board of County
Commissioners will have formally as.

is now, interpreted, set of men from

ties, ought to be men who would moi
through fear, affection, favor, spite OF

Now that we are entering upon new

the advantages offered by Anderson and
Anderson County to home.seekers.

When completed, the hotel will be quite
an ornament to the town. Anderson is
taking steps to build a cotton factory, and

Though Shaken Like a Leaf.

By the most trivial causes, weak nerves are easily susceptible of invigoration, a term which also imports, in this instance, quietude. The nervous have but to use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters systemati- cally to overcome that super ness of the human sensorium, which is subversive of all bodily comfort and mental tranquility, and which reacts most hurtfully upon the system. The difficulty underlying this, as we'll as many other ailments, is imperfect as- similation, no less than incomplete di- gestion of the food. In the discharge of both the digestive and assimilative functions, the Bitters are the most po- tent, the most reliable auxiliary. AS the body regains vigor and regularity by it's aid, the brain and nervous system are also benefited. Persons subject to the influence of malaria, dyspeptic. and rheumatic invalids, and persons whose kidneys are inactive, should also use the Bitters.

THE SILVER LEAF MINE.
An Interesting Description of the Mine, Country. and Town There
 About,

The CITIZEN s special reporter accomp- anied MT. T. D. Morris, of Wilcox to his mine in Clark Mining District, Graham County during the week and was re- gally entertained by that prince ofgood fellows at his camp in the new town of "Morristown" as his many friends and admirers in the district insist upon cal ling it.
 The town is about the center of the Clark Mining District, Graham county, situated in the foot hills on the western slope of the Graham mountains about twelve miles northwesterly from Camp Grant. The wagon road and telegraph line between Fort Grant and Fort Thomas pass through the town and over some of the best mines in the locality. Mr. Morris is the father of the camp and and the owner of the now noted Silver Leaf mine which has been developed by several shafts to depth of sixty feet, exposing fine vein with a strong body of rich gold ore. Some of the ore has been worked on the ground in rastras, one shipment made to Fl Paso Shelter and our test lot was shipped to MT Wores' sampling works of our city, which gave a result of four and quar- ter ounces in gold and some silver. Mir. Morris has several other equally good To- cations, more or less developed, of easy access to the road and in the immediate vicinity of the Silver Leaf.
 The formation of the district is a soft decomposed granite traversed by bands or small dykes of porphory which are in variably accompanied by strong quartz lodges carrying both gold and silver in paying quantities.
 Among some of the best claims on which development has been done are the ''Silver Leaf" "Silver Top" (extsn- sion of Silver LeaD the Mountain Key" Mountain Chief" "Buck Horn," "Pres- ident," and "Nonesuch."
 Oak wood and pine timber abound in the mountains, while pure water from the springs, and wells sunk in the soft granite is found everywhere. The elevation is about five thousand feet above the sea level. The climate on account of the pure mountain air and sheltered positive of the camp is unsur- passed. The district has been monu- mented in all directions.
 Mir. Morris has had assays made from all of his claims, while some are better than others, still taken az a whole the results are very satisfactory and pro- mise we'll for the district.
 Messengers Smith and Robinson of this city has bond on the Silver Leaf and Top claims, and should they succeed in interesting capital in the district it will not be long before Clark district, will be counted as one of the bullion produc- ing camps of Arizona.
