TO look upon them. If the same care be bestowed
upon them that individual would bestow upon his

it in season-there is a small sum in the treasury,
which might be readily increased to any reasonable
amount, if few of our public spirited citizens would
take hold of the matter in earnest. The West Park
is most neglected There are two or three good
watchers around the East Park, and cattle and other
animals are more carefully kept out. Why cannot
some one keep as vigiant an eye upon the West
