After Miss Cleso had sung in adiuiiable
uuniicr, " With Verdure Clad. " from
Haydn's oratorio, "Creation," and icspoiided
te an encore, the goerner w.is lutiediiced
and received with warm applause. He
jocosely alluded te tyr. Higbee's tree plant
ing, mid after .seme humorous remarks,
pissed te a consideration of the state's
legal holiday and their signlllcaiicu. Te
the present list, New Year, the day of reso
lutions; February Twenty-second and its
memories of Washington; Decoration Day;
Fourth of July, the auiitvorsaryel patriotism;
Thanksgiving, the festival of icvorcnce, and
Christmas tlie day of jumcc It is new pro
posed te add Arber Day. He traced the tree
in history, since the "day when the laird
planted a garden eastward in F.den, "with
trees pleasant te the sight and geed ler feed,"
Abraham dwelt under the oaks of Meriah
and pitched his tent amid the forest trees;
Deberah dwelt under tlie palm, and the
cedars of Lebanon Hcrji a Blery t l'' Jewish
race forever. Frem out the forests of North
ern Kurope had proceeded the great peo
ples who had overrun ancient civilization ;
and with the lise, tlie progress and develop
ment of forests were closely associated the
rise, the progress and decay of nations. With
the destruction of forests had ceme desola
tion and natural decay. It was the work or
the highest civili.illeu te rostero the wasted
timber lauds. The mineral forests and luxu
riant vegetation of America had been among
Its chlef attractions te the new people. Jehn
Smith found them in Virginia mid te Win.
I'enn they wero among the best of Penn
sylvania's, charactci isties. The sun and
rivers that w ero witnesses te his treaty uuder
the elm are with us, but the Ihird witness,
the weeds has passed away. It is the pur
pose of Arber Day te restore it, in seme de
gree at least. Then "JO per cent, of our lauds
were forest ; 70 cr cent, has since been cut
off. Kveu in these days of timber plenitude
Penn directed oue-fourth te be retained in
timber ; there were lines for the rockless cut
ting down of ti ces and penalties for making
tires In the weeds. Scleuce hits demonstrated
the utility of picserving at least 0110 aero in
lour in forests ; mid that the ruthless waste
of tlie timber lauds will'dccrcase the rain fall
Hiiddrvupthe fountains pt our water sup
ply. X"ebraska and If ansas inaugurated tlie
Arber Days te restoie the waste and the pri
vation of treeless lands. In thirteen years
Nebraska has set out 120,IXH) acres of forest ;
en Its first day It planted ever 1000,000 trces.
Kansas has 200,000 acres of forest Such
restoration Is needed when it is ro re
mcmlieicd that 8,000,000 acres of weeds
are cut oil annually In this country,
and in vlew of the countless uses
of weed in the arts this exhaustion cannot,
go en forevor without new supplies. In con
elusion he urged interest In Arber Day, this
and succeeding years, upon all itlr.ens, and
he tclt surelfit was taken held of by the
million school children and U10 twenty
thousand teachers of the commonwealth, ft
could net fall le be a lasting institution and a
permanent Hiiccass.
The coverner was loudly cheered ; and
after Mr. KhanU had returned the thanks of
the faculty te the visitors and te" all who had
helped te jnake the occasion a success, tlie
choir sang "A Keng ler the Oak" and the
audience was dismissed.

Mr. Calvin Coecr, Iho niirseyman at
IJIrtl iu-Hand, writes us: Tri-e plantingen
"Arber Day" seemed te have impressed tlie
people with the idea that tills is the only
day te plant, if we may Judge hv the unpre
cedented rush at the nursery tlie last few
days. The large order by the Lancaster
school beard and ethers for the school houses
in the city, the great tree planting at Heller's
church, in 1'ppcr Leaeeck township, and
dozens of small lets by individuals, made a
rush upon us Tar beyond oxiectalioiis. One
ambitious youth who did nothave the means
te buy, was found en the read side by the
nursery, endeavoring te dig a stiay honey
suckle, te plant as a memento of Governer
Paulsen's "'Arber Day." Mrs. Cooper gen
erously brought him inside and assisted him
te get a geed plant, much te his joy and grati grati
licatieu. In Lititz, Arber Day was lully observed
by the public schools. The directors had
procured 15 shade trees, the number re
quired te llll the vacant places, ami holes
were made ready: at three o'clock, all the
pupils with their teachers and many patrons
assembled in the grammar school, where a
number ofrccitatieusjiutcrsiierscd with vocal
music, suitable te Uie day, were given, after
which the company repaired te the gieuuds,
where the planting was itcrfermed by the
pupils. Alter the trees were planted a num
ber of vines and shrubbery contributed by
patrons were also planted. Many citizens
also observed the day by planting trees,
which would probably'have been neglected
had net the governor called their attention
tothe matter. The planting of fruit and or
namental trees, has however net all been
confined te Arlsir Day. Mr. Allen 00k,
nursery agent, sold and delivered in Litltz,
mid vicinity about two thousand trces, which
if all planted inli") .one Held would lerm an
extensive orchard.
Hum "Arlier Hay" Originated.
Hen. J. Stirling Morten, of Nebraska,
originator of "Arlier Day," is one el the
most original men hi the West. Arber Day
was suggested te him by the tact that we
have se many holidays which result in no
practical hcucllt. He began ticcplantingiipen
his own place when Nebraska was a terri
tory, and It was through his Investigations
in this direction that he finally conceived
the ideaef Arlsir Day. He was oueoftho
llrst nieii hi Nebraska te plant Irmt
tices. His neighlieisall laughed at him say
ing that fruit trees could net live 1111011 the
cold and bleak prairies, let Mr. Morten
has lived te see hundreds of acres of all
kinds of Northern fruits growing in great
luxuriance mid plenty alsmt his beautiful
country place. This place Is named Arlier
Ledge. Tlie custom which 110 ncgan aims
own place gradually oxtended throughout
the state, through his earnest and elo
quent advocacy, lle persuaded the
legislature te eiler inducements ler
tree-planting Piehably 110 0110 thing
has mero conspired te 'sccure the pros
perity of Nebraska than this new universal
custom of tree-planting. The day has been
taken up by ether Western stated and Is
new 0110 of the great holidays of the West.
Tliree years age, when Mr. Morten was titty
years of age, lie planted with his own hand a
tree for each year el his life. The great

the large frmue barn en the farm of Israel L,
Lindls, in Maiihcim towiishfp,abeul three
nilles north or this city, was discovered te be
en flreand Inn short tlme thereafter was n
mass of ruins, together with its contents.
Twe large tobacco heuses, corn barn, straw
shed and ether buildings connected with and
adjacent te the barn wero also burned.
The barn was 112 feet In length, the lower
story being of stone. It was an old structure
but a very complcle one, additions having
been built te It from time le tlme. It con
tained a considerable quantity or hay, straw,
and ether produce. The tobacco houses con
tained about a cases or old tobacco nnd 110
ncicsel the crop of IMi. The less Is very
heavy nnd Is partly covered by Insurance hi
the Penn township, the Manheim Mutual,
and ether ceinpiules.
Mr. Landls was nt llaulsliuig Thursday
anil was en his way home at the tlme el the
fire, lle saw the light of the burning build
ings from the car window, but did net knew
that It was his own property that was being
destreyed.
We learn fiein him that the contents or the
burned buildings were llie eases of 'Wand 'S
rases or 'S3 toliacce ; the crop or tobacco cut
from 18 acres last fall, nearly all el uliMi
was sir) plied and ready for market; WW
bushels of corn Injlenglng te Mr. Lindls; toil
bushels of wheat, olio-half of which belonged
te.Mr. Lmdisand the ether hair te Hiram
Hurting, who works the farm en the shares.
.Mr. llerting loses also two icajiers, two large
wagons, a horse-powcr, corn shelter, thresh
ing maehinc, shovels, rakes, and a large
number or ether farm Implements, and
about lllly chickens, which peiished In the
flames.
Mr. Landls has the following insurances,
all in the Pciiii .Mutual insurance company :
On the bam, 1,000 ; en the straw shed, hay
shed and tobacco warehouse, tlme ; en frame
toliacce house, fSBO ; en corn barn, J.W0 ! en

barn. J.3.M) ; en hay and straw, fJi0;eu the
cased tobacco and his share or the loose to
bacco lie has n total Insurance eff5,07r, but of
this amount $1,000 was en tobacco that had
been Insured In ene building and removed
te another. Tlie insurance will nearly cover
the less en Iho tobacco, but will net cover the
less en the buildings.
It Is believed tlie lire was or incendiary
origin, as thcre was no lire In the building
and no ene el' the rami hands had been In the
barn with allghtdiiringtlieuvenlng. When
discevcnsl the upper ptrt of the building
was in llames, and it apH)ars te have been
there that the Incendiary applied the torch, se
that it would be impossible for any ene te
reach and extinguish the llames.
The lit e stock was all safely removed from
the stables befere the flames reached them.
The farm was hi charge of Henry llerting,
a tenant farmer, wlie loses heavilt, but has
seinn insurance. The extent of his less has net
beeii a-secrtalned. Mr. llerting has lieeu
IKflbirly unlertitii'Ue, as it Is only a tow years
age that he was burned out vv hile farming in
West LauiK!ter, mid was uninsured.
The light rrem the burning buildings was
plainly seen in this city, ami an alarm was
struck from box 15 situated and Frederick
ami Market streets. Theliremeii ran out with
their apparatus as far as Frederick street and
then returned.
