THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Differences of Opinion as to Whethe,
1t Is a Curse or Blessing.


With Christmas at hand the land is
rent in twain by two tiercely opposed
opinions about the Christmas tree. A
sad, despairing, wailing, rancous note
comes from up the state, and Il tone of
cheer and good will responds from the
balsam forests of Maine. Up New York
state some of the newspapers have
been seized with "a gripping collie, and
they say that the Christmas tree is an
outrage on modern society, The cut
ting of Christmas trees is the cutting
off of the forests, with all the horrors
which that implies, and ii should he
stopped forthwith ana, moreover,
Christmas trees are of no use.
on the other hand, a dispatch to this
paper from Bangor says that the in
dustry in Christmas trees is nothing
short of blessing TO the people of the
state of Maine and a blessing which
works both ways. For not only do the
farmers on whose land they grow get
good little amounts of money which are
needed and right welcome, but the re-
moval of the trees is positive benefit.
The fir tree is the one used, and till the
farmers learned to cut IL down and
send II to Boston and New York they
viewed it with positive dismay. for II
grew like weed ana crowded out trees
of more value. Now, when they find

and his time would have expired In
April next. He was q kind brother
an affectionate son, and was generally
beloved by all who knew him. A let
ter was received from one of his su-
perior officers. in which he spoke OF
him in the highest terms for his ster-
ling qualities as a soldier. He would
soon have been promoted TO the rank
of sergeant. His parents were looking
forward with great pleasure to the
return of their son, but now their JOY
has been turned to grief 1T Is possible
that his remains will be brought here
for interment.
