CnAtham street. Inm 10 AL very Wen, but We would
suggest the proprsty Of substituting very different trees
from those now sdorning ~ that place. 1t il we'll
known that owing to some disease, which might be
avoided by proper agencies the Park s filed every
with noisome worms, that manifest great aHec-
ton for hats coat collars ladies' bCnnets cspes and
other wearing apparel to the great annoyance and dis
romantic spot % these infects almost ubiquitous,
and turn up when least expected. II il to be hoped
that the Superintendent Of lands and Places who has
charge of these grounds, will devote attention to
the study of botany, and plant healthy trees that will
not breed these maggots else proper remedies to
prevent their appearance. Some Of the old trees are
decayipg, and need cutting down sadly. Take them
away, and put young plants in their places.
