Setting oft Trees.

We would urge upon our citizens the

yards but ornamental trees. These

necessary for US to agree upoh some

This can be accomplished by meet
ing Of all those persons who own lots in
town and reside here.
When assembled the first thing dcnc,
should be for each one to pledge himself
to abide the decision Of tho majority.
Let every one come with a kindly
feeling, determined to yield his own pc.

good. Then there will be no difficulty
in agreeing upon this measure, SO essen

town.
Such meeting Of our Citizens is ne
cessary not only to simply determine
this question, but for an interchange Of
views, as to the best method Of setting
out trees, the best varieties, where they
can be procured &c.
Will not soEe of our Oldest and most
active .:cit;zens consult with others and
call the meeting; SIS
Two or three days notice is oil that il

The Self Propslling Steam Fire Engine-The

thousands, and more excitement was created tnan

done at the rate of ten miles an hour,a ma1ter
