THE FORESTS DISAPPEARING.

Works have discontinued their business on ac-
count of the scarcity OF timber in that local

Nv another company and removed 10 llillShoro.
Mich This is practical evidence Of the dis
appearance of white oak and hickory from
what was once the centre of the Incompatible
Michigan forests. The removal OF the plant
10 another district will be speedily followed
Ly similar exhaustion OF timber there. the
same process Of destruction which lcycllod the
uagniiicent pine forest, of New Eng and, New

running out in that highly favored region

will inevitably be dependent upon Canada for
lumber.
The disappearance Of white oak and hickory
from the heart of Michigan ought not to excite

of destruction ha, been pursued is borne in
