Tha Softener I* Dawes*. The thriving little eily of Dawzon, twenty-seven mile* from this place by railroad, was the oljective point of your solicitor a lew daya ago. So do* together are the two places, Americas and Dawson, that a mutual feeling of inter- e>t exists between them. Tbe people of Dawson are progressive for they keep even with the constant charge* going on n-onnd them, ao far ns their opportnni- lies will allow. Schools and churches, that add ao much to the material and moral udvanceiuunt of a people, are well cured for, nnd tbe college and Frof Low- ruy'e school are well sustained, and Ihe school of Miss Amies Filsbury, which opened with lull numbers on Inst Mon day, is resinned n-ilh tbe determination un til.) pui'. of tlint Indy to do good and effectivo work in tho school room.

K. P, Artesian Wells Water hna been atrnck in the artesian well at Leary, and the people are jubilant, as well they may be. In Montezuma Mr. Clay, the contractor, got a flow of fonr gallons to the minnte aome time ago, but wbiob finally dropped down to on*. Tbe piping waa then put down to a depth of seven hundred feet, and the flow avenge* about two gallons a minnte. The Record estimates that this flow will give each residence and business place tweoty-Av* gallons a day, and, thinking that wilt not be enough, wants another well. We are very certain that if Amerieua could get a well that would give sack place of bnrinee* twen ty-five gallon* a day, the p*opi* wonid be better satisfied than they arc now. Radian Timber.

Tire stranger soon revived, iiu sighed and openod Ilia eyes, the ilnah of life returned to his ashen cheek.

Tree-Plnntlnz la Ragland. [Beaton Courier.) Whilo onr forests aro disappearing before the woddmun'a ax and thq oaw- rnill, there is no such diminution of tbe raMroPnii in Eb^WIf owing to the perseverance of tho landed clam in tree-planting. Ono. family alone, that ol tho dnkes of Atlrolo, has in a hundred year* planted score* of millions at trees. The "planter duke," who .commenced operations in 1774, plantgd 27^)00,Ota) trees, covering IB,- 000 acres, principally npon the liunken Hills and in their neighborhood. The present dnke of Atbota plants from 800,000 to 1,000,000 trees evory year. The terrible storm which destroyed the Tay bridge blew down 80,000 of tbe duke's trees; bnt tbe loss waa hardly noticeable. Millions of tram bavo been planted on Nantucket island, but unfortunately most of .them died. Visitors to NMtucket will remember n few narrow belt* of slnntad pines here and there on tha down* in the interior of the intend, which represent the total outcome of this most laudable eater- prise. __________ The ItegBltnto of India.
