A large tree has just been cut from the land of Mr. J. R. Marshall, four miles from Columbia. At its base it was sixteen feet in diameter, and out of it five logs ten feet long were cut, containing 7,650 feet of lumber. The top of the tree made thirteen cords of wood.—Columbia (Tenn.) Herald.
And I would weep for thee, thou monarch of the wood,
Thou king that long the scorn of Time has stood.

Of good deeds done, of sweetness and of mirth,
Scion of the sun, defender of the earth—

And I would mourn for thee, ay, truly mourn,
