In on q ticle on the forests OF

Ashe, of Raleigh. and published IN
the Southern States, the author
who has been a practical student OF
our forests, says no Southern State
has larger amount OF soft WOOD
suitable for paper manufacture, than
this State. In the mountains there
is an abundance Of linn, the chief
material, used further north for max
ing paper, also Of buckeye and ash.
In the middle and eastern sections
there are large areas Of three kinds
OF ash suitable for this use and
easily accessible.
At present there are thres large
paper mills in the State, ore only
using ash entirely, and the others

making use of linn or buckeye.
Here indeed are found resources
for a great development Of this IN

We are not anxious for the people

to the fact that he was posing as

really he WAS covertly seeking to

the remarks in compliment OF Judge
Brown made by the bar at the close
of his court here, remarked on the
proceeding as unusual. How far it
may be customary, we have not in
quired; but in this instance it was
very appropriate.
Judge Brown had held four sue
cessive terms Of court here at short
intervals, and had shown himself
such an admirable Judge, and his
administration of the court pro-
ceedirgs had been SO pleasant, that
it was entirely fitting for the bar to
make some formal ckuowledgment
of their high appreciation. If the
proceeding was unusual, it was yet
entirely justified by the occasion
and the compliment was the more
pronounced.
