wnite the general average is not ovei
seventy degrees. In mid-winter it is
seldom lower thau forty, and gener
ally averages sixty. This is attrlbu
tahle to tlie pre vale nee of the uortii
ern and western winds during tin
summer, and the southern and east
ern w inds during the winter. Lturiug
the winter of 1808 we hud ice twice,
and teverai killing frosts.
Years ago, before we had ever
thought of moving to Manatee, 1
hoard a gentleman, who had been
here on a visit, declare that “.Mana
tee is the garden spot of the world.'
But the fair tielis of fruits which In
then beheld were alterward laid
waste by the ravages of war, and
Manatee became almost a “desola
tion.’’ i'lanuuious eonlaining thou
s tii-is of neies iu a high Male of cul
tivation were, by the Emanei|ialion
Proelanijttion, left without a “tillei
of the soil," and soon grew up in
weeds and briers. But anew era has
dawned; new settlers are purchasing
abd impriVving the lands, at id tin
waste places are again beginniii '
to “bloom and blossom like the rose.”
Many el'.izeusof Ihe interior, uimlil
louger to bear with negro supremacy
aud car|iet baft rule, have moved here,
where they may mice more enjoy
peace ami prosperity, with “none to
molest or make afrtud.” To the dis
heartened and oppressed of alt sec
tions this is truly a haven of rest. Our
citizens are from almost every Butte
in the Uuiou, while the preponder
ance are Southern. Many are from
the extreme North and East, Massa
chusetts and New York being most
largely represented. Besides, we
have Norwegians, Danes, Germans,
and a few negroes. All ure equally
pleased, nor have I seen one who
could be induced to leave after hav
ing become domiciled. All are good
citizens, honest, iudustrious. quiet
aud law-abiding. Pillage and theft
are utmost unknown. Extensive prai
ries arc coveted with herds of cattle
ainluroVi-8 of iiogs, and but few are
stolen. The forests team with game:
tiepin of deer roam the woods, aud
Hocks of wild turkeys are frequently
to be seen, while snipe, quail and wa
tec-fowl of every spociesuce very num
erous. Then there are the lish; not a
fresh water creek, potid or sink-hole,
but is teeming with the choicest vari
eties, such as perch, bream, speckled
trout aud chub. If those of the salt
water are preferred, we have an inex
haustible supply in the untm-rous
beautiful bay* tbai indent our coast,
and here at Manatee, one is accessi
ble to both.

Is situated on the south bank of the
beautiful Manatee river, a stream lit
tle Infiwlor in breadth to the far
famed Sr. John's, while the shore oti
cither side presents to the eye of the
beholder a scene of never changing
venture. The. laud immediately in
and around the village is poor and
sandy, being a low plain, thickly
covered with palmetto and low i
pines; but these lands are remarka
bly adapted to the culture and
growth of tropical fruits, particular
ly the sweet orange ami other mem
bers of the citrus family, groves of
which may be seen with niaguiticeuce
of foliage seldom atutiue 1 by tue
richest of the hammocks, and which
are kept iu a rapid state of growth by
plowing and keeping the surface
Id >se aiiT Clear. Here, too, the ba
nana attains perfection, and its beau
tiful, broad, banner-like leaves are
flue specimens of the almost tropi
cal luxuriance of this country. To!
speak particularly <>f each of the!
manv ,-rodiietiotis and fruits of South
Florida would Ulla volume. Suffice 1
it to say that here orauges, shad- j
docks, lemons, limes, pomegranates,
guavas, tigs, and mulberries reach
the most perfect maturity. Small
fruits and berries are abundant,
while this seems to be the native
home of ttie grape, as every
thing of that, nature lloanshes in
this geuiul soil aud climate. Melons
grown here have a [teculiar sweetness
anti delicacy of flavor. Sugar-cane,
rice, corn, i>eas and potatoes are
mostly cultivated In the th-lds, each
and all of which yield abundantly.
Pumpkins, squashes, tomatoes, cu
cumbers, Eugiish (teas, beans, Iran
potatoes ael cabbages are grown
here to perfection, by a judicious se
lection of soil suitable to
each. The most delicate
aud tender of these can
be gathered all the winter. N.t. ure
has done all she could for the farmer
here, aud it is impossible to conceive
how a laboring man could starve. It
may take a season of toil to prepare
the laud, plant and cultivate the
crop, but the reward is sure. Arid

As before remarked, one can choosi
iere almost any Industry, and to
iressingit closely, be sure of nmph

which is ouly so much tin* better as
the trees get hibt'e thorough cultiva

any other bulbous-rooted plant, i hose
sprouts have annually to be separa

in eighteen niotitiis from planting; a
bunch frequently has on it 80 or pm
single bananas, but the average is
less rtmn half that number. The gu

Another industry is the raising ot
bees. Of all place# in the world,
this is the home of the apiary. Ii
Mr. Quin by had ever visited South
Florida he need nuthuve written thirl
chapter on “wintering bees.” Here
the woods abound iu “bee trees;”
that jh. tret's having hollow# or cav
ities in which the wild Irees have
built their combs ; from these have
originated tile stock kept, in hives.
Most families keep u few stands for
llieir own use, though some have ns
many as titty and eighty stands. A
swarm of bees can be purchased for
one dollar, the purchaser furuishin t
the hive for them. But very little at
leutiuii, comparatively, is paid to
them, the common Imx-hivc or “gum ’
being the ,nly kind used. With good
pnte,,t hives and proper care there
is no telling what a source of revenue
tliis may become. A good strong
colony will yield iuaseason. seventy
live pounds of surplus honey. In
leading the Northern “bee slat Utica”
one living here cannot help being
amused at the idea of “feeding ’ bees
and going to the expense of housing :
them from the inclemencies of win-i
ter, lie. If it is jtrollutble to raise i
bees under these circumstance . wliai '

American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by tho ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, aud illus
trated with Several Thousand Engravings
and Maps.
The work originally published under tho title
of The New American CYCLorjuuA was coin*
plctediu 1863. since which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all ]>arta of tho
United States and the signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of suieuce, lit
erature and art. have induced the editors and
publishers to aulmiit it to an exact ami thorough
fevision, ami to issue anew edition entitled The
American Oyixoilkdja.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
vjo very ir, every do)x>rtmcnt of kuowladge has
made anew work of feicreuoe an imperative
want.
The movement of political affair* has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, aud then* frultlu
Application to the industrial and useful arts and
lire convenience and refinement ot social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have ©c.-
urred. involving national clctugea of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our owu country,
which was at its height When the last volume ot
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
iud anew course of cninuiurciai and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knovvl
i-dge have been made by tho indefatigable ex*
pturan Of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
ude. with the uatural result of the lapse of time,
nave brought into public view a multitude ot new
neu. whoso names are iu every one's mouth, aud
•t whose lives every one is curious to know tlie
particulars. Great battles have been fought aud
important sieges maintained, ot which the de
rails are as yet preserved only iu the uewiapors
•r iu the truuateut publications of the day. but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent aud authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim ol the editors to
bring down the information to tho latest possi
ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production iu literature, aud of the newest
inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun alter long aud care
ful preliminary labor, and with the moat ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, but every page has been printed on
new typo, forming iu fact anew Cycloptodia. with
the sntne plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such Improvements in its composition
as have beep suggested by longer experience aud
enlarged knowledge.
The Illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition Lave been added
not for the sake oi pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
aud ol natural history, aud ddpict the most
famous aud remarkable natures of scenery,
architecture and art, as well aw the various pro
cesses of mechanics ami manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
ewbelishmeut. no pains have been spam) to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, aud it is lieiieved-they
will tind a welcome reception aw an admirable
at ure of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high character.
I bis work is fluid to Subscribers ouly, payable
