SHADE TREEs.-It gives lib great pleasure to OBJ
serve tho caro- which is being takon OF the trees
around tho City Hall and Guard House, and to
note tho airy and strong boxes which havo been
built 10 protect them. This good example OF tho
City Fathers, we hope, will be- generally followed
by that portion Of our oitizcns who hayo planted
them in front OF thoir residences, thereby bcauti-
tying the stroes and making thoir houses at least
appear moro comfortable. Some of our people,
wo rogrot 20 say, hayo been very careless in thia
mattor, by setting out good and shady trees and
then forgetting to box them, whilo others havo
neglected to plant ut all. But wo think tho pcc,-
liar heat Of our present season. should prompt all
to prepare for o coming eummcr which no doubt
will roach this in warmth md thore is nothing Iii
our mind TINT promote comfort as we'll "a
health IN city aB it's streets being vol lined with
outrageous trooe. Charleston mover was moro
healthy than when her sidewalks woro crowded
with them, and tho folly of city administration
who had them destroyed brought an unusual
amount Of scknoss the city for many years
nftor. With tho exception of the burnt district,
they arc now replantcd and quito numerous and
in the Upper Wards really abundant; buL, as wo
have limited boforc, they gonerally lack the came
protection from horses and other means Of do
struction, and we bring tho good aud timely notion
OF Council before our readers, hoping they may
profit by 30 excellent precedent.
