Shade-Trees I'm Richmond.


Your correspondents Tuckahoe and L.
have given some Of the reasons why trees do
not succeed better on the streets of Rich
mond. The reflected heat from the pave
ments in our long, dry summers, with the
packed condition of the soil around the trees
from constant trampling, are the causes of
want of success. To obyiate the latter, the
proper transplanting, as advocated by L., is
very important. TO counteract the effect Of
heat and drought it would be well to leavea
large, not very deep, depression around the
tree to catch the rain-Water and receive the
water which should be artifcially applied in
dry seasons, particularly the first year of
planting. In Paris great numbers Of trees
have been set out by the Government. and
great pains taken to secure their growth, and
with much success. Around each tree, at
its base, is placed an iron framework with
cross-bars, fitting even with the pavement.
Beneath this is depression of probably SIX
inches to catch the falling water. Some ar
rangement exists by which the dirt fall
ing into this depression may from time to
time be cleaned out. -s Zig 81. -. .=".
It would seem but proper that the Coun-
Gil of the city should protect by boxes, and
some such plan as the one just mentioned as
used in Paris, the trees set out by indiyl-
duals. The only encouragement that am
aware they offer is to permit you to set the
trees out, and pass an ordinance that you
shall not tie your horse to them. tsa9. s-...@
The kind of tree that will grow success.
fully on the payements is matter of impor-
tance Our forest trees-the maple, ash,
elm, and poplar-seem to do tolerably well
with care. The latter is not very hardy, and
should only be set out after the buds are
considerably swolIen-in the spring. The
horse-chestnut seems to die on the pave
lnents. The silver-maple seems thus far to
do well, and / presume the sugar-maple, a
beautiful tree, would do as well. The much
abused mulberry is probably the hardest
tree that is seen in the city, and forms ON ex-
cellent shade, and until it gets old Is very
desirable tree on account of the qualities
just enumerated. CO-HEE.

EXCITEMENT AT THE POLICE CoURr-A PR1.
soNER ATTEMPTS TO EscArE.--Among the
many parties brought before Justice White
on Saturday for keeping unlicensed dogs
was negro named Henry Sims, or Gaines,
who was awaiting his turn in the part Of the
courtroom allotted to the prisoners, and di.
vided off by partition about seven feet
high. Suddenly Sims jumped from his seat
and sprang over the partition with such
celebrity that the officer scarcely kuc. *
the movement until he was on his way 70
the door OF the courtroom. Everything
was in commotion for minute, but the
fugitive was instantly pursued and in
tercepted at the door by member of the
bar who happened to be coming in, and was
brought back by the officers. The cause Of
the attempted escape was explained by the
fact that Sims had discovered Detective
O'Dwyer, who had warrant for his arrest
upon charge of housebreaking and steal.
ing.
Justice White committed the prisoner for
examination upon the warrant for felony.
The affair caused no little excitement in
the court for q short time, and was the occa-
sion of an amusing chase. 4

BLEW TIE GAS OUT.-Mr. A. F. Graves,
of Madison, q young man about twenty years
old, guest at Ford's Hotel, staggered out
OF his room early on Saturday morning in
dishab,He and fell In the hall near his room
door. A few minutes afterwards he was
discovered by one Of the hotel servants
almost in state of insensibility, and was
carried into his room. The peculiar odor
Of escaping gas attracted the attention of the
attendants, and an examination showed that
the gas had not been turned oil, but olo.r's
out.
A physician was soon by the side of the
suffering young man, and his wants attended
to. He made 4 narrow escape from death,
but will recover.
