It has already come to pass that the timber On an acre of land is equal to or more valuable than any crop the land can produce. The word now, and it comes from a thousand pens throughout the South, is take care of your timler and set your old fields in timber trees. Pine ti mber land in Michi gan is quoted at 35 per acre. In Massachusetts pine timber . .8 rec ommended as a valuable invest ment.

The completion of the main ior tioii of the southern wing of the Western Insane Asylum, near Mor gauton, and the assured com pletioti of the northern wing, on the foun dation of which 11MXK) has already been exiended, places North Caro lina in the lead of any Southern State in the noble charity of caring for the insane. 28.',U00 have al ready leen exjiended ujhiii the grounds and the finished iortiouof tbe magnificent structure and the next legislature will be called upon to appropriate $75,000 more for the completion of the northern wing. The architectural proportion of the building, the elegance of its interi or and exterior finish and the mi nute attention which has been paid to every detail, adding to comfort and convenience in the work for which it is designed, render it by long odds the finest asylum for the ; insane in any Southern State. j The Board of , Commissioners to whose hands the work has been en trusted have turuvd over the build ings and grounds U) Gov, Jarvis. It is hoped to have the Institution ready for patients by the first of February.
