Decidedly the best remedy that has eve

observation-disclosures on Main Street
have doubtless noticed and admired beau
tiful gronp of a dozen or more oak trees in
the vacant grounds just north of the Con-
gregational Church. This plat of ground
was the property Of the Congregational So
ciety, and some time since as we are inform
ed, in consideration Of the subscription by
the public Of money sufficient to pay the ex-
pense incurred in finishing off the new
church, was decided to the city as public
park, the trustees of the church assuming
the responsibility of fencing and improving
the same. Its chief value for the purpose
indicated, was the beautiful clump of trees
grown to large size, were in most thrifty
condition, and when fully clothed in their
panopy of green furnished a peculiarly
grateful contrast and relief to the dusty
street. We speak of these noble trees in
the past sense, for alas, by lamentable
lack of judgment, taste and sentiment, on
the part of the trustees of the church, they
have been doomed to destruction and the
barbarous sentence carried out This was
done in no Difference to the necessities of
trade, or for any other unitarian purpose,
which with our intensely practical Ameri-
can society excuses the marring of natures
handiwork, but for the purpose-Heaven
save the mark-of improving the grounds
The improvement proposed is the substitu
ton of evergreens, their regular forms nc
doubt arranged in stiff and formal platoons
like soldiers at drill, for the picturesque
irreguarity and the charm of light anc
shade which belonged to the beautiful clumI
of forest oaks, so wantonly destroyed. IL
persons of taste and refinement the suggest
ion of such change is painful. The gen
tlemen responsible for this most inconsider
ate proceeding no doubt acted from the bes
of motives, but we can assure them that al
most every member of the community de
plore their lack of taste and judgment
There is no object in inanimate natur
more beautiful or more worthy OF the low
I and generation of man than stately tree
. and there is none, the destruction of whic
e causes more regret to rightly constitute
minds. 1t was peculiarly uniting tina
this act of vandalism should have bee
y done at the instance of the trustees OF
= Christian church. "The groves were God
: first temples" sings one of the noblest
our American poets, and to destroy thel
: except as an act OF absolute necessity
: seems a sacrilege not less hagrant tnah
e committed against the less bcaut'ta' ten
pics made with bands.

Jake Cole, of the Earlvile Sun, has come
to the conclusion that the editorial position
is a thankless one. Slightly ''riled' at the
thrus's of the fault-fnding tribe, he proceeds
in very spirited manner to give them a
piece of his mind. He says that he would
like to please all, but as it "can't be did,
he won't try. Jake is sound. Let him
please an individual whose initials are J
A. C. and he will hit more of his subscri
bers than by any other plan.

VAcRANcY.-A younger brother of Trip
the horse thief, was arrested on charge OF
vagrancy last Saturday, but on arraignment
before the magistrate the charge could not
be maintained and the prisoner was dis
charged, Now as the precedent is set fol
arrests of this character, we hope the Off
GERS of the law will make inquiry into the
means of suppor: of certain other partle:
about town, who are members of the bal
and yet not lawyers, who toll not, neither
do they spin, but who are shrewdly sus
pected of practices of more positively Grim
inal character then vagrancy.

AN EscAPADE-TRIpp TRIpplNG Ir.-Last
| Friday night was prolific Of events Besides
| tho fire and the arrest Of the vito whipper,
| mentioned elsewhere, the irreprcssible Trip
| came to the relief of the local column by pro-
ducing a first-class sensation. Trip cohclud-
ed that a change of air would help his rheum-
atism, and made an effort to "vamose the
ranch" which, but for the arguments Of Mar
shall IIeese, would undoubtedly been success
full. He with other offenders have been con-
fined in the city iron clad, awaiting his trial
by the District Court, now in session. In the
absence of the Sheriff and and other
officers, to young man, John Getchel by
named was committed the charge of feeding
the prisoners. In pursuance Of this duty, on
Friday evening about half past seven o'clock,
he unlocked the door of the calaboose and es-
sayed to enter Trip who had prepared for
this opportunity, Immediately rushed on
Getchell, hurled him out of his path and with
the speed of race horse few toward the bush
es, down North street. Fortunately Marshal
Heege was near at hand in charge of the wife
whipper, McQuillon. Hearing the alarm, Hce-
ge left the prisoner of lesser degree to pursue
his own inclinations, and started for foot
race with Trip. For few minutes it was
''nip and tuck" Trip had the most speed
but Heege the most bottom. Hcege cried fire."
.smurder," "stop thief" but finding that these
only accelerated the speed Of the fugitive,
he went right down to his work, as the horse
men say, and by the time they got near Sher
if Davis residence, was near enough to ad
dress some words to Tripp calculated to in
duce him to forego his rash resolve to leave
friends who so much desire his presence.
Finding these of no avail, Heege whipped out
pcrsuader in the shape of a hickory club,
and with one tap on the Uranium, brought
Trip to earth all in heap, and limp as rag
Trip played possum so effectually that Heege,
thinking he had killed the rogue, offered in
his turn to become prisoner and "gif himself
up" to Esq. Little with the greatest alacrity.
But Trip was not dead, slight scalp wound
and an indispositon to walk vas all
that allied him. He was conveyed to
his recently deserted quarters and made.
