LITERATURE IN BLooMsBURd.-It is
gratifying to know that the standard of
literature in Boomsburg is rising in pro.
portion to the onward march of all other
improvements. The select and classical
school, under the control of MIR. B. T..
EATON, assisted by Mr. G. T, WELLS, is
now in successful operation. AT this insti-
tuition, al the higher branches of education
are Systematically taught in such way we
have no doubt prove alike creditablo to
our community and advantageous to the
pupils under their patronage.

SUGa aFsTIvE.-There is nothing our
citizens should feel greater pride in than
having the streets adorned with shade and
ornamental trees. The old assertion that
in business streets, they are an impediment,
is fallacious. A beautiful tree is certainly
much cooler and more convenient than an
unsightly awning. Those who have not
their property thus adorned should take
Immediate steps to plant. Spring is upon
us. The suitable time for planting is at
hand. Strange as it may seem, even in
this large and well-wooded country, trees
suitable for shade and ornamental purposes
are yearly becoming scarcer, In fact,
nurserymcn everywhere state that the de-
mand annually exceeds their ability to
supply.
