The practice of the farmers living near the mads, which will nnswer very well for them, (e-pe. rially if somewhat more attention be paid to the cultivation. of the graces,) may hft ex. pected to have an undue influence in the re. mote parts of those counties. . . 2. The families by whom the counties were settted wore from below the Ridge, nnd carried with them into ,th mountain repoii lhf tind of husbaudry to which they had been ceuatomed in the warmer and, dryer parts 1 "ic" ,hfy V- V ' on7 praiatly 'hat men change the hWt nnd .practices of j theirarlier days., T.H influence of custom I is exhibited in the northernmost raise of coun.

Thelatiluds and elevation and cf course the temperature cf the mountain counties so far as it depends upon- these two are very nearly the same with those of ancient Area. dia the country of herdsmen and ahepherd. Their soil is different, having been formed by the decomposition of primitive roeksigran. ite. cneiss. and mica slate whilst limestone b.uiids in Arcadm as well as other parts of Ureeeo. 11 reinng ot cattle nnd sheep and the makingof butter and cheese for the counties below the. ridge, that h m y bo expected there will be a tendency in the industry of lhe mountain region for many years. tThe quantity of rain falling there is greater than in the carters parts of the state, nnd luxuriant meadows cf, tho most valuable grssi but especially of "Tir-nrthy, may be faHily form.i.

The fire destroyed the greater jnumber.of the young trees mat were sprinzin" km., and the iarur ones remained thinly scattered, like the ap ple-trees ia an orchard, with large open spa. res between.

They ate out and dV. st roved furh &s t!:ev found palateabte and suit. ablf for the nourishment , of animals, whilst such as are worthless were permitted to grow 1 nd. occupy i!.r rjro:;ni.
