Evidently it was a most :[earful thing to receive a tree from abroad, and yet the consignee was ? capable of getting some one into very serious trouble if he did not get his tree, and he said he must have it within forty-eight hours. Some one at the etistom house soared above the difficulty. The.tree , was sent on to "StafnbOul on the Orient exortes: an eight hours* lour 1 ' c ? jjaifcu.
