Gov, Daniel Hastings has Issued a
proejamutlon designating April 10th
and 24th, ISWi, as Arbor Daya. In his
proclamation tho Governor says:
"Although Pennsylvania was onco
wholly covered with a denso growth of
valuable, timber, to-day scarcely one
fourth of llmt. area remains, and tho
supply has fulu n off to such an ox lent
that the Cor.iinmiweult.h Is unable to
produca tho timber required for its own
Inhabitants. Of the regions which
when timlMT.d, wei-j a source ci wealth
to their owr.'-re r.ud to the state, not
less than two. million live hundred
thousand aores aro unlit for agricultural
"purpnst-n. Most of this vust area has
llttlo or.no mfnural wealth and Is now
an unsightly and practically abandoned
territory. Fires sweep over it year
after year destroying tho younger
jjrowth i i;d burning out the fertility o?
tho soil, and this vast territory Is pass
ing Into the condition of a desert,
becoming poorer each successive year.
It Is not only possible but practicable to
restore the forests upon these desert
wastes, which would Do producing a
crop of great value to our state, and
would also restore to our rivera and
streams the buneficial influence of the
forests. As it was oijr.e a necessity to
remove trees in order to obtain ground
to plant grain, and for other purposes
of civilization, it appears that this
necessity produced a tree destroying
habit, which should ba counteracted as
speedily as possible. This is the first
generation in the Commonwealth ever
brought face to face with the dangers
and disasters of u tlmberloss country.
To ohapgu tlio current of national
thought from tho tree destroying to the
the tree protecting policy, to add to the
beauty of our mountains and valleys to
ornament the grounds of our free
schools and other public institutions, to
add comfort to the traveler upon our
public, highways, to preserve the shores
and bunks of our rivers and smaller
streams are object worthy of the
Intelligent attention of our citizens."

It often brings sad news, however;
and now wo have sad news for tho

of Mrs. W. I j. .lohuston, of West Heyn
oldsville, came homo with us last
summer. Yesterday she took her
departure to her heavenly home, aged
years and ID days. She began to fail
senile two month ago, and gradually
grew weaker, but was not nlllleted with
liny particular disease. Three dnys
before death the li ft arm anil limb
paralyzed, then we begun to think thn
end near. Her sight hearing ami
sM-ech were good to the last. Wo bury
body here.
"Illessed are the dead, who die in tho
Lord!"
Her inaiileti inline was Margaret Ken.
