ual to give bail, which he dill in the sum OF
$4,000, for bis appearance to answer to the
charge Of assault and battery, with intent to kill

TaEE PLANTING Horace Greeley, in late
letter descriptive Of Lombardy in Italy, makes
the following sensible suggestion in regard to
the planting of forest trees;
aAs to tree planting, there can be no excuse
for n glecting il, for no man needs his neigh
boris cooperation to render it economical or ef.
fsctive. We Ia America have been recklessl ~
destroying trees long enough; it is high time
W. had hogan Systematically to reproduce them.
There 10 scarcely farm Of fiftv-acres or over
IL any but the newest States that might not be
increased in value $1,000 by 800 judiciously
expended in tree planting, and little care to
protect the young trees from premature destruc-
ton. All roadsides, steep billsides, ravines and
rocky places should be- planted with oak hickory,
chesnut, pine, locust, &c, at once, and many b
I rm would, after a few years, yield 800 worth
of timber annual. without extracting $40 from
the crops otherwise depended on. BY planting
locusts, or some other fast. growing tree alter
nately with oak, hickory, &C., the former would
be ready for use or sale by the time the latter
needed the whole ground. Utility, beauty, CON-
fort, profit, nil combine to urge immediate and
extensive tree planting; shall it not be CON-
menced!"
