CUTTING OFF THE WooDs.-We are sorry
to see the process Of denuding the face of
the Country by clearing of he woodlands,
still going on around Burlington. The in
eyitablc result is severor seasons, worse
winds, the drying up of the .treams, and the
Disagreement Of the scenery. The Dorset
Street woods have recently been partially
cleared The woods skirtiug Sunderland
Hollow on the East have also been extensive
ly cut away. The most ruthless and atrc-
clous piece Of business of the kind, however,
has been the clearing - Of the woods
around the High bridge, On the Burlington
side. Those beautiful woods, the home Of
countless wild flowers and the resort Of pie
mics for generation past, are now mel
ancholly waste Of stumps, ,oon probably
to be pasture or potato patch. We can
think and speak Of such an act only as an
abominabe Outrage. If this goes on there
will soon not he an available SPOT around
Burlington for rural pleasure party the
