SETTING Our TRszs.-We learn that
one man engaged in supplying and setting out
trees In this city, has set ont for. different par
test this fall over six hundred trees, and con-
tracted for three hundred more. There Is yet
time for property owners here to engage
thousand or more trees and when, as is well
known, q few trees add twenty-five per cent.
to the value OF vacant lots, we wonder that
more of our citizens do not make the small in

the force OF his evidence.
The evidence of Mr.. Dyer, the Postmaster at
the Agency, and principal witness for the pros
ecution, was weakened by direct contradic-
ton between himself and Mr.. Long, another
witness, as to statements made by Dyer to
Long to the effect that the man Wood. above
mentioned, was In reality named Staples and
was suspicious character. st.,s, ..,,,a
In addition to the singular grouping of cir.
cumstances forming the evidence for and
against Burns the letters themselves, as found
and introduced in Court, threw but little light
upon the mystery. a .,a0 .ass;i I'll
The theory Of the prosecution seemed to be
that the mail robberies were committed upon
the route between the two post offices, and, of
course, BY Burns, and they relied upon the
agreement between their proof of circumstan.
ces and the datiugs OF the letters and way bills
as found, to establish the theory. The defence
seemed to have theory that the robberies
were committed at Winnebago Agency Post
Office, (Which would imply conspiracy of one
or more persons to throw suspicion of guilt
upon Burns.) and relied upon their proof to
show that other persons besides Burns were
eliminated by the same facts that were brought
In evidence against him, as well as upon the
lack of evidence on the part of the prosecu-
ton, which leaves the theory Of the defences an
extremely probable one. re 80. 'l ''..
The jury, after celebrating for nearly two
hours, brought in .. verdict of acquittal, to
which those not interested who heard the trial.
or the summing up of counsel and the charge
of the Judge, viii readily agree. The young
man Burns ought to be relieved from the Gus
picion which usually attaches to those who
have been tried for criminal offences, and, to
that end, If for no other, 1t is to be wished the
really guilty may be discovered and punished.
