ure of rustic beauty, thereby heneitting indvid-
uals and augmenting the general valuation; a
measure which commendS itself In proportion
as II is consideredi one which this commission
viii advocate in season and ont of season, living
or dying, in the hope and faith of its ultimate
couSummation.
The plan and completion of such an avenue,
plainly outlined to this commission as it has
long been, would of course be a work of time.
II would aim to take advantage of existing roads
wherever practicable, widening them to an in
flexible, uniform limit, strengthening their
courses here, and introducing sweeping curves
there; following the general trend of the foot
bills whose lines OF decentralization describe an
irregular quadrilateral, whereof the military
academy, and the city farm, the Quinsigamond
iron works, and the Davis cottage should con-
stitute the salient and re'entering angles; Goes
reservoir and the lake the points ddppui ct re-
SiStdnce.
Above ALL as indispensable to the complete
ness and symmetry of the design, Lake Quinsig-
almond should be embraced within its scope.
The opinion of the commission is decided that
the city of Worcester should obtain, from the
great and general court, power to occupy and
possess Lake Quinsigamond for public park,
without prejudice to the rights of riparian own
ers, whatever they may be. In this way, if in
no other, could the level of its waters be main
lallleu AT their average nelHnt, thus preserving
the smooth and verdant banks which so much
enhance its beauty. Nor can any other method
be devised half as effeCtua Of forestalling future
attempts to divert the waters OF the lake for the
supply of metropolitan thoughtlessness and
waste.
Nature has omitted nothing from the perfect
design of Worcester Land and waterscapes,
smiling valleys, here terminating suddenly in
symmetrical hills, and again receding to where
gently slOping emncnCe untes and browns the
lines of distant perspective babbiing brooks
and shrubby copses bu: too rapidly disappear
ing, shall we incur the forfeiture of her charms
by our neglect to unyeil them2"
The annual report of Mr.. Albert Tolman,
chairman of the commissioners of Hope ceme-
terry, gives in detail tie various improvements
that have been made, although none have been
extensive, owing 10 the small amount of money
in the treasury The total expenditures for the
year 1870 were $56555 land the receipts S1920.27
which leaves an unexpended balance of S1354.72
in the treasury. The sum of $549.74 has been
drawn from the balance in the city treasury, and
credited to the cemetery account, which at the
beginning of the year was SS79.46. Fifty-thrce
lots were sold during the year for S1025, at an
average rate of 1892 each. Last year the aver
age rate was S2441; the difference is owing to
the fact that small lots are coming more and
more in demand. Since the laying out Of the
cemetery, 1859 lots have been sold.

adopted by advice of Cavour with relation to the
liberties of the church, and that the practical
effect of this policy would be to exempt the pope
from subsection to any temporal authority. Won

counsels, and expressing conciliatory views. No

GERMAN OPERA To-NIGHT.-We are prom
ised a good performance of Weber's opera, "Der
Freiscbutz," at Music hall, tonight, and a
large, fashionable and musical audience will
doubtless be gathered to hear and see it. Tick
cts, we hear, have sold well, and small parties
are coming from several places out of town.
For the benefit of these; extra trains will be run
after the opera, on the Providence, Nashua, Nor
wich and Boston railroads. The train on the
latter will 20 as far as birmingham. We notice
that, in arranging the price of seats, the com
mon division has been adopted. The dollar
seats in the dress circle and ifty-cent ones in the
gallery, for purely musical considerations, are
the best ones in the house. The higher priced
seats arc the more fashionable, consequently
more popular ones, and will probably sell the
quickest At S. r. Leland & Co.'s store, where
the tickets are sold, may also be found books of
the opera.
