Mil,oaukce.-Our readers are directed to the
Gard Of Messrs II. & Fl. HlLLof Milwaukee.
It has been said to US that this is one Of the
most reliable business firms on the hake Shore
and those who have dealings in their line of
trade need have no hesitation in opening an
account at once with thsm. Milwaukee, from
her excellent barbor, her low freights to Buifa-
10, her reputation as grain market, the integ-
rity of her merchants, and her extensive Rail
road connections with the Upper Mississippi,
must soon command large trade with the
North west and you should never fail to deal
with those who have the enterprize and spirit
to "declare their intentions" through the medi-
um Of your local journals. The man who will
not invite your custom is apt to be too selfish
to consult any interest but his own.

New WoRCEsTER-A REJoINDER-Ed
SW:-I wish to say few words about the
change in the name of New Worcester. | have
no great objection to an alteration, but have
a choice in names. We have a Washington
square all right, that name is beloved by eve
ry ene. Then we have an Adams square, that
also is a noble name. think this square was
named during the administration of John O..
Adams, and Mr.. Adams was a wing. Then
there is our Lincoln Square, and no name is
more appropriate, for it not only perDetuates the
name OF our much respected ex-governor, but
his illustrious ancestry for instance, the father
of Gov. Lincoln, who was Attorney General
under Mr.. Jefferson and again there is Gen
Lincoln, who acted so well his part in the
great drama of the Revolution. l do not OBJ
ject to this name, except that our beloved ex-
governor is wing Nor do | object to New
Worcester being called Webster Square, ex-
cept do not want all Wing names.
And now | will tell you what do want
If we are to make change, let us call it Jack
son Square Jackson Hall, Jackson School.

THE JUNE FRosT.-Sad accounts of the
frost come to us from every direction. The
calamity appears to have been general Corn,
potatoes, garden vegetables, and fruit, were
seriously injured in the far West as well as in
the Eastern and Middle States and in most
localities the frost appears to have been felt
more severely than here in Worcester, al
though we had quite enough of it. A letter
from Lee county, Illinois, dated June says
We got up this morning very badly frost

LADIES COLLEGIATE lSsTITUrE.-Ihe
first annual meeting of the Hannah More Lit
erary and Missionary Society, connected with
the Ladies Collegiate Institute, occurred last
evening. The exercises were introduced by
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Jones of this city, after
which the reports of the officers were read
Then followed some very spirited and excel
lent recitations by the young ladies of the So
ciety, interspersed with interesting dialogues
The selections were all appropriate and in
good taste, and the delivery of many of them
exhibited correct appreciation of their beau
ties. We could particularly mention some
which were the most pleasing, if it did not
seem invidious to distinguish. After the exer-
cises of the society, Rev B. X. Pierce of Ian
caster made a beautiful and touching address,
partly suggested by some scenes he hadrecently
witnessed. He congratulated the Society in
their happy selection of name, calling their
association after one who embodied in herself
more than any other woman, great literary
ability and true missionary zeal. In the course
of his remarks he stated that the great hinder
ance in woman's advancement was the lack in
most instances of a noble aim or purpose in
life. The Society rendered a vote of thanks
to Mr.. Rice. Rev Mr.. Souther also made one
of his usual happy addresses. The Good
Night Song was then very sweetly sung by
two of the young ladies, after which the COM
pany separated well pleased with their evening
entertainment.

VALUE OF SHADE TREE IN CoNFLA-
GRATIoN.-A friend who witnessed the great
fire in Salem, Tuesday night, states that the
shade trees which abound in that city, check
ed very perceptibly the spread of the confla-
grafton. Not only did they screen the build
ings in the vicinity from the intense heat of
the flames, but they intercepted, by their dense
foliage, the showers of burning cnders, which
fell thick and fast in every direction. We
presume the utility of shade trees in cities,
has not, in this particular, been generally re-
garded.
