learn that some OF these enterpriSing far

MRssRs. EDITORS Tho Public Square has
now for the first time been planted with ny-
ing trees, and re may indulge the hope that
ut some distant day VIC, OF. our children, may
havo tho plcasuro Of enjoying the shnde Of
their 1caty treasure, when some mild May
shallclothe thom In summer yerdufe.
We have waited ycar after year, for this Oft
promised leaiy canopy, that Vas to grace and
sdarn the Court HOUSE, but, alas, it has never
Jet appeared. But VIC do not despair. The
City Fathers and the County Dsddies, with
their united wisdom md zeal, haya failed to
meet the public expectation. Bod soil, dead
trees, or rather trees with head and heels cut
Of, have refused to give, though Oft directed
to do so BY res@utioH, and now nothing u LIT
but to start the work on 9ome new tack.
In our horticultural experience We have
| which We think sincerely Of taking out pate
ent. We want to gee those trees growing, We
| think thcy are in good sol, live and thrifty,
and well set out, but they have too many oats
growing 1bout them and need further care.
Our invention, OF discovery would be Just tie
! thing. and In this case VIC will consent to G
ffcc 7rsal Of its powers, but 1t must go no fur
ther, and individuals must take ont personal
riglts for its use or make themselves liable
! il an action Of trespass. Most Of our
readers are surely acquainted win the
