BORDEAUX, May 10.-Great excite
ment was occasioncd here by a fire that
was raging in a pine forest near this
city. The powder magazine, in which
was stored a large quantity of cxplo-
sives, was in close proximity TO the for

heat of the burning trees and sparks
would cause an explosion, the effects of
which would hayc hoen disastrous. The
towns people turned out in full force,
back fires were started, and this pre-
vented the flames from reaching the
magazine, and finally the fire burned
itself out.

Pine Timber Dying,

The pine timber that has occupied
perhaps a fifth of the woodland in
parts of lower Augusta and Rocking
ham, seems destined to disappear CHI
tirely within the next two or three
years. During the last two years it
has been diving steadily Large sec
tons Of dead pine timber can be seen
along the sides Of the mountains in
west Rockingham, and also in the
woods of the valley. In the four or
five hundred acres of pine woods lying
between Burkc's Mills and Stonewall
there are few living pine trees now
standing. Several saw mills have been
operated in these woods for about two
years, and it is Intended to convert all
the remaining pine into lumber within
about one year more. This pine is
comparatively hard aud tough, and
though not equal to the yellow pine Of
southern Vir. ina and North Carolina
it is considered fairly good variety of
lumber for general building. Some of
the ornamental pines in 5 .unton are
dying also. Two large ornamental
spruce trees were cut down last Week
because they were dead.
No cause for this general dying Of
pine timber is known. Other varieties
of wood are not affcctcd.-Staunt0n
Ne,rs. The dying Of the pine trees in
the counties east of the Blue Ridge has
heretofore been mentioned Ill the GA
