When he began, most of the ground was rugged, rocky. covered with brash, and in every respect as sterile and unforbidding, in appearance as any other two acres But now, how great the changet Through thé individual Jabor of Mr. Du Bois, Sr., now in his 70th year, Piliying. e sigvens to play man," can tbe men they are sare td try, and be as pear like them ‘as possible, and a very little ‘observation will show this tobe thecage. Qne little fellow rides a stick with his whip, aod plays man on horseback; ans other gets three-or—four companions and plays man driving a team; (and uses all the-adjectives to.) Another ‘plows after dad”’ in the farrow, and still another wants his hair cut ‘‘with alittle round hole at the top, just like pa’s.’’ One plays doctor, and goes to see his patients in his father’s dress coat aud top boots. Another is an honest miner, in a small way; another keeps a storey and still . of land in this part of the country. . another, who doesn’t go to sctiodl, . puts on bis “‘specs’’ and reads the} newspaper upside down.

Nearlyevery nook and corner ot . this piece of ground is now bearing its tree, vine, or vegetable, and their thrifty and rugged growth must be seen to be appreciuted.

Thongh a large proportion of the rily. young, some not yet bearing at all, the yield of fruit this year, from present indications, will be large, al-. most beyond belief. During the comming fruit season Mr. Du Bois will be obliged to employ some considerabjé help, as it will be im. possible for one, or even two persons to pick the crop, and “that time is about to commence, as the strawberdo the same. operation. — There is subscribed about $224,000, Imore.
