'WooDMAN; SPARE THAT TREE''-The axe

trees which have stood for years in the Court
yard and afforded such delightful shade. 1t

Others more ornamental and less injurious 1t
looks like parting with old friends partcu-

For the Sentinel.


Mr.. Editor,--
happened in your town q few evenings
ago. and heard the Building Association dis
cussed, and the merits of the different ones
carefully looked into, and it appears the
Mutual was finally resolved upon as being a
positive protection to the poor man, and a
good investment for the rich man, and its i'm
portant feature was that it looked to The future
building up of your town, and by calculation
twelve medium houses, commanding a month
ly rent of ten dollars could easily be erected
in the first year, the second and third years,
and so on, as its usefulness was more extend
ed. looked on with pleasure to see such a
determination on the part of your citizens to
keep step with the times, and that they are re-
solved to rescue your old town from the re-
proaches cast upon it by its heretofore tar
diness.
With Railroad, Building Association,
and an energetic Board of Town Commission
ers pushing forward street improvements, and
iiourishing Temperance organization daily
increasing and making valuable citizens out of
those apparently lost to society, you must feel
proud the results your valuable journal has
aided in bringing about. One word more. Let
some enterprizing citizen 60 to work at once
and build a Warehouse upon the site of the
Depot, for too long already has this very i'm
portant matter been delayed. 1t ought TO have
been erected last Fall. ] hope those who have
the authority will push the matter ahead, and
in a short time the Farmers near by can pro-
cure their Guano at home for Spring crops
without going TO a neighboring village for a
supply. congratulate your town upon wax
ing up, and may its course be onward and up
ward. WEnL-WISHER.

Views OF the President.

The President, IN conversation yesterday as
serted most positively that he does not intend
to make any change in the Government agency
at London, adding that the suspension Of Clews
T. Co., which involved the suspension of the
London house Of Cews Habicht 4 Co., was
the result Of unavoidable misfortune, and that
20 dishonorabie faint attaches to them on ac-
count Of it. The news since received, that
Clcws 4 Co. will soon resume, shows that the
Presidents confidence in the house has not
been misplaced.
10 further conversation the President rcite.
rated his determination to do everything in his
power and the power of the Treasury to relieve
the public from the distressing influences OF
the pending financial Disturbance aud repeated
ness Of the basis on which the stock .jobbioG
operations are carried on in New York aud
elsewhere. He added that the Government
had already proceeded to the extent Of its abili-
ty under the law to relieve the market, and.
c0m menting upon the result of the purchase OF
bonds by the New York sub-rcasury, remarked
that, so far as the railroad stock jnbbers are
concerned, they, will require relief every sixty
days, so long as they transact business on their
present basis. He expressed the opinion that
the merchants aud solid business men of the
country will take advantage Of the low rates of
exchange now prevailing in the management OF
their fall business transactions, and seemed to
be satisfied that 10 the end the panic will be
productive of great good in destroying the
imaginary foundation of certain business ln-
terests, and placing the substantial business
men of the country on more reliable footing

Senator Morton had been making campaign
