tion and that is Is there any act OF our councils
| prohibiting goats from running ct largo through
our public streets? have heard, but do to. know
it to be fact, that there is prohibiting piiy
goats and giving full liberty to mamie goats, but

where they please, and doing just as they please;

on the south side OF Pennsylvania avenue, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, which planted more
/ than ten years ago. and cost the Government four
| dollars a. piece when planted, are now being de
stroyed by these billy's and nannies, and, as they
are tree of very slow GROWTH 1t would take
long time for young trees of thackind to make ae
handsome appearance as the present ones do, il
could only keep these cursed varmints away from
them. JAMES MAHER, Public Gardener.
