! Improvement, Suggested. A correspondent
| who sends us communication signed "'The
Beaux and Bellies, residing cast of the Falls, y
offers a number Of suggestions in regard to the
Improvement of the "Public Walk" OH Lou
denslager's Hill, which, if properly carried out.
would no doubt make it beautiful place of
| recreation. We hope that the proper author-
ties may see that the required improvements
are made. His last suggestion however should
be attended to Immediately. He says the "hgh
grass" materially interferes with fine prone
made, and desires it moved down before the
next Sabbath, in order that visitors may enjoy
themselves. 1t is not often that the "beaux
and bellies" complain of getting into the "co-
! yer," and we therefore hope that that "tall
! grass" may be removed.
