CAUrIoN.-To those persons who are in
the habit of tying their horses to the shade trees
the streets, 1t may not be amiss for us to say to
them that they thereby subject themselves to fines
every time they do So Nearly all the shade trees
in the city stand upon the sidewalks, and as tn
ordinance imposes fine for horses hitched upon
the footways, there can be no doubt that all who
use these trees as racks lay themselves liable to
fines. If horse gets upon paved sidewalk, 1t
matters not how, his owner is Unable; and as the
iootways are frequently rendered impossible by
horses standing upon them after being hitched, it
would be well enough for the police to break up
practice

MEcHANfcs' ISsrITurK-Itis gratifying
to witness the Increasing interest manifested by the
ladies OF Richmond in behalf OF this long needed
Institution which has for its object the Improvement
OF our mechanics and the welfare Of our city,
With their aid, we feel that we cannot fail to work
entire revolution In the mechanics and mechan.
Ism of Virginia and that In lew years Richmond
will become the great manufacturing city of the
South. And why should she not Nature has
blessed her with all the facilities for becoming great
and powerful and It 10 now only necessary for her
sons to apply the means within their grasp to take
the lead In manufactures and mechanism. The
success of the present Fair of the Institute shows
what can be done, and we trust 10 proper indcs-
ton of what is yet to be done In improving the la
boring casses and In fitting them to the exalted po-
stions that Providence has designed them to occu-
py. Let the Mechanics OF the State prove true to
themselves, by supporting their Institute, and the
day ia not far distant when they will reap golden
harvest from its richly clustering fruits.
