SHADE TREES AND PUBLIC PARKs.-The necessi-
ty for Shade Trees and Public Parks, in our city,
has already been alluded to in the columns of the
Times. We are therefore glad to find the Pioneer
conciding with us in the Importance of Public
Parks, and also in the Importance of planting
shade trees about the residences of our citizens
as we'll as on each side of the streets. On this
subject the editor remarks:
''We are an earnest advocate for shade trees.
1t is true, that in the upper portions of our city,
shade trees are, to certain extent, enjoyed by
the citizens. But these are all of natural growth.
Among them we notice none, except such as were
growing there at the time that portion of the town
was laid out. In no part Of the city, do we see
any of those beautiful shade trees which seem to
have been designed, by "a wise Providence, for
that particular purpose, and which are as capable
of being cultivated here as elsewhere"
Perhaps no place IN the Union has been more
benefited by is shade trees ana parks than New
Haven, Conn. There, as we have remarked in a
rreviou, article the lir,bs of the giant clms en-
twine with each Other and form delightful shade.
Two ROWS of trees cncirc,e the Park, while Tenn
pie stree; is con,pi tely archcl from one end to
Tic Other, forming one Of the most pleasing prom
cupies in III world. The ori.in of the trees in
the Pax. was in this wise: Shortly after the Park
WA laid OF. james Ilillhousc, Esq, we think, q
member Of Congress from New Haven district
was seen ca:ly one morning with number OF
saplngs, busily engaged setting them out on the
Public Square. Old fogyism laughed at him, but
he p2rscvercd, the trees lived, have grown to ma
tmity, and although the planter has been trans
planted to ii more genial soil, his little saplings
remain as monuments Of his enterprise and fore
sight not one of which could DO bought now fol
its weight in gold.
New Haven does not possess the natural advan.
tagcs Of st. Paul it has not the back country
is not at the head Of navigation, and yet in con-
sequence of its beauty, many strangers make it &
place of resort. Men Of wealth and refinement
choose it as place of residence. Capitalists
are anxious 10 invest their money there, and thus
directly to its public grounds, shade trees, and
other improvements can be traced much of its
prosperity. There is no reason why st. Pau
should not equal New Haven in point Of beauty
ana in a few years surpass her in point Of great
ness. To make it such, it needs but little effort
on the part of each citizen, some Of whom we arc
glad to see, have already planted shade trees il
! front of their residences, and will probably ado
| other Improvements as soon as their means viii
permit.
We may rest assured that our city is destincd
to become place of greater resort than Sarato-
ga, or any of the fashionable places of the east
and it is therefore for interest to see that eve
~ thing is done which can he done to make it at
tractive and pleasant both to our own citizens,
and to those who during the summer months may
make their so iourn among

MORE CASES OF CHOLERA.-On the arrival of
the Galcna at our Levee yesterday morning, it
was found that there were FIVE persons with symp-
toms of the Cholera. They were cabin passcn-
gers, and were Immediately taken care of by their
friends and the Board of Health. Several other
persons were complaining, but we believe only
five were seriously affected. Most Of these per-
sons were comparatively well until within short
time Of the attack, which was probably brought
on by over-eating, drinking large quantities of
water, and keeping irregular hours.
People who travel cannot be too careful as to
diet. If they ,oiH gorge their stomachs with I'M
healthy food, they must suffer the consequences.
These cases are not of an epidemic nature, but
arise purely from an over-indulgence in the good
things to be found on board Of the Upper Missis-
sippi steamboats,.
Two of the above persons died Yesterday.
