INCREASING EMIGRATION INTO ARKANsAs.-The emigration to the interior of the State, keeps up daily. Many passing here are bound for Texas, it being the best route to take for the western DOT tion of that State and New Mexico. We notice many passing with from ten slaves and upwards. Experience has thriby proved by the new settlers, that the poor and out lands of the olderslave States, are not worth occupying compared with the virgin soil of Arkansas.

SHADE FREES AND SHRUBBERY OF OUR CrTY-In most Of the cities of the Union. there is great oehclency of shade trees and ornamental shrub oefry-this is particularly the case with the north ana southwest, whose city sites were originally covered with the forest The first object of the settler appeared to be, to level, what nature seemed to indicate would prove of vast convenience around the dwellings, This has prompted many regrets, and to supply what has thus been rudely destroyed in some cities, corporation laws have been enacted to transplant from the forest and protect the trees thus set out on the borders of their streets This is all right-future generations will pronounce aduatons in their behalf, for the boon thus con ferred upon the pedestrian, whether it be for bus ness or pleasure.
 Boston (mall or) common is studded with trees, and the New York Battery exhibits its rows of Films. It is the delight of their citizens to stand under them of summers day and be the recipients of the foliage and cool breeze. New Haven, Conn.,, is renowned for its tall and broad shades-Canan- daigua, N. Y, is considered a gem, simply for it's vast ornamental shrubbery and sugar maple shade trees. Cleveland, Ohio, is called the forest city; the pioneers of that beautiful location, leaving un scahed except in of necessity, the tall forest as found
 The fathers of Little Rock when they laid out our city, could not but have had an eye to the de- coration of our streets fof all time to come with green foliage. They are generally of noble width, leaving room for broad foot walks to be lined with shrubbery in front of every lot. As lots have been improved of late years, forest trees have hanked them, and now that many of them have become of large growth, their usefulness has become greatly developed on hot day. They are absolutely be- coming the pride of the city and much noted by strangers.
 During our rambles through many streets the past week, we observed with much pleasure, the almost universal custom of lot owners, who have enclosed their premises, rows of trees are set out on the sides of streets and well guarded to protect them from cattle or used hitching posts. In many streets open lots are similarly ornamented. The transplanted trees generally thriving we'll
 And, now word to the ladies. Urge upon your husbands, fathers and brothers to plant trees on your premises, and while doing that, don't neglect your door yard shrubbery

THE CITY CEMETRY.-We believe it was John O. Adams, who remarked, when on a visit to Mount Hope Cemetry, at Rochester, N. Y., Ca spot universally visited by all strangers that cty) ''S Show me the last resting place of the dead, and I will read the character of the people from whose mansions their bodies were removed" A visit to our cemetry, on Sunday evening last, reminded us of the expression. It gives us much pleasure to state that Little Rock, among its improvements contemplated has not forgotten its dead. Within the past year, the Cemetery fence has been put in order-the street to its entrance much improved the central passway through the dead mansions ? graded-its walk on either side studded with young and growing trees that in few years will afford the visitor, from their foliage, shade from the schorching
 The spot is a beautiful one; nature has done much to beautfy it-a little of art, still re- mains to finish it. Narrow shaded walks running in various directions, at little expense would add much to its beauty, and under the trees few seats, would be appreciated by mouners who ire quent it, where they could rest contemplate and revive in memory the fond recollection of their departed friends.
 It is not the less gratifying to observe, that families are giving much attention to their lots and iron, the most enduring fence, is made for inco- sures. We now have two foundries in the city for the manufacture fthem and we presume of various patterns. We noticed one was placed around the family yard of Col. Hanger, last week, worthy of imitation.

again. Just as she had pulled the string, and was
in the act of getting out of the bus man sitting
near the door snached her purse from her iand.
and ran of with it,
The young lady, with great presence of mind,
sprang'out Of the bus and ran after him. The
thief in attempting to dodge into the crowd slipped
and fell; when the young, lady. STOPPING down
said in the sweetest excited tone imaginable "Ah!
yoa bad man, amt you ashamed to take my purse
give it back to me directly"
The thief was perfectly subdued, and hand ed
over the purse to the young lady, who not until
then released her tiny, eweled hand from
his collar. The rascal was probably actuated
to the hasty delivery by the approach of crowd
of gentlemen attracted by the singular scene, and
was glad enough to skulk away without being ar
rested.

the excitement of the chase, and the gaze of the
young gentlemen who came too late. rejoined

DEAqu OF WIaLiAa T.. BUnroN.--Mr. Burton,
tie we'll known COMEDIAN died in New York city
on Friday last, in tho 81 year of his age. Mr.
Burton has been sick for some weeks. His disease
was caused by accumulation OF Fat about the heart
and during his protracted illness the most power
ful opiates have been required to allay Tho great
bodily suffering inflicted by the complaint. Tho
New York Commercial gives the following sketch
of the life of the dccenscl:
William Evans Burton was born in London in
1901, and ns the son of Wm George Burton, au-
thor of biblical Researches" was originally In
tended for the minisery. Tic received II fine clas
scal education, but other occupations intervened
to diver. his attention. and ut tho age Of eighteen
years he assumed tho direction of his fathers
printing office, and shortly afterwards edited n
monthly magazine. Success as an amateur actor
soon caused him to seek fame upon the "regular
stage" and he made his London debut in lS32.nt
tho ITaymarket. as "Wormwood," in The Lot
tory Ticket" At about this period ho wrote
several dramatic pieces, and one of them ELLEN
Warcham," acquired tho distinction Of being
performed at five London theatres on the same
night.
In 1884 he came to this country, and made his
first appearance ut tho Arch street theatre Phila-
dclpha. His New York debut occurred ht tho
National Theatre, corner Of Church and Leonard
streets, nnHcr the management OF the senior Val
lack. In 1887 he erected the National Theatre
Philadelphia. In l84l he became proprietor -
the opera House IN t1ls cily, Wnich Whouestoyeu
by fire. In lS45 he managed the National Thea
tire Washington. which was burned March 4th
and afterwards made efforts TO cater for the nhn-
bants of Baltimore and Norfolk. His next en-
terprise was the purchase of Palmo's Opera
House, in Chambers street. Here for ten years
no had uninterrupted career of prosperity.
and the little theatre was always full. In 1857
he became the manager of the Metropolitan Thea
tire. In this enterprise he was unsuccessful. lie
retired from management. therefore, and devoted
himself to 'star" engagements-while thus play
ing ut Albany he was stricken down by the dis.
ease of which he died.
Mr.. Burton was o man of superior education,
and of fine natural gifts. As q comedian he was
unriyalled, but Of late years the habit had grown
upon him of indulgence in humor Of breadth"
not palatable to persons Of even moderate fasd-
ousness. lie was possessed off fine library.a re.
matkable feature of which was the number Of
volumes of Shakspearan and dramatic literature.
lie the author Of several dramas, the arranger
Of others, and he had made successful attempts
in the writings Of books. Mr.. Burton, it
is generally supposed, had large fortune, but
his later experience may have somewhat
impaired it. lie has been married twice. and
his family now Consists Of a wife and three chill
dren.'
