FRrsuETs. AND THEIR Causes.

FREsnETs. AND THEIR CAUSES. The
Brattleboro Phemr has an article with the
above head. in which the editor argues
that the destruction of the native forests
i. the principal cause of the frequent and
devastating frcshets that occur OF late
The theory is that where the forests re-
main the thick boughs prevent sudden in
eress of sun and rain; but where the
trees are cut off, the land is entirely ex-
posed to the influence of sun, rain, snow
and wind; the snow melts rapidly, and a
freshet is the result. The writer believes
that these annual freshets will grow more
disastrous as the country is more and more
cleared up. The remedy suggested is, in
cutting wood, not to cut clean, but only
Gull out the old wood, leaving the younger
growth: also the planting of young trees.

WINsTED.-There is quite a cheerful little excitement in Winstei, about these days, over the consolidation of the two Post offices into one, over which Mir. T. M. Clarke is placed in temporary charge. A public meeting is to be held this evening in West Winsted, for the purpose of giving expression to the views of the people on the subjsct. and we have no doubt it will eventuate in restoring the old Post offices with new deal of Postmasters. Meanwhile. the author of the breeze has sown the wind to reap g whirlwind, and there is every probability that the gale will sweep of even his few remaining pin feathers before it subsldes.

This is secured by leaving out of the order the name of the payes or party for whom the money is intended. The Post Master to whose office the money is sent. is informed in . separate envelope. of the party tor whom t is intended. Our mail system has long stood in need of some such safeguard, and we hope this is the beginning of general reform. s'AA z

Do not be ashamed of your old or soiled uniforms on the Fourth. Wear yeur blue suits anyway, if you have them. Worn uniforms, like torn colors, are likely to have history that patriots are bound to respect. Come to Litch6eld looking as much like soldiers as you can, and you will be treated well.

 fg| A very painful and disgraceful collision has occurred between Mrs. Lincoln and the Association for erecting a monument over the remains of our late President. The Associa- ton desired to have the remains deposited in vacant square in the city of Springfield Ill. To this Mrs. Lincoln objected, because some of Mir. Lincoln's relatives with whom she is not on friendly terms reside in an adjacent block She also informs the Association that, if they will not give her the choice of place of burial and title to the lot and monument, she will have her husbands remains returned to Washington City and deposited in the {" crypt" prepared for General Washington The Association argues that "the proprietor ship of the remains of the late President has passed to the Nation, and while representing it they have right to direct" There seems to us to be another consideration that makes Mrs. Lincoln's demand unreasonable: If she holds the title to the land and monument, some future financial misfortune may make the resting place of our martyred President sub- ject to mortgage and attachment. The re- mains of lourjmurdered chief, with the monu- ment that is to be raised over them by the of mourning admirers, should be the property of the people who, by his death, were placed in universal grief and orphanage While the lady may be legally right, her de- mands are certainly unreasonable, and we hope she may be induced to yield to the public sense of justice and propriety
