consisting Of Messrs. Smith and Russell
have also inauSurated an enterprise
through which Piety Row is to supplied
with water for irrigating purposes.
They are erecting a hosting engine on
the rotary plan. and propose to utilize
the gentle zephyrs which occasionally
visit this locality, as q driving power.

A lot OF handsome. thrifty Lombardy
populars have been procured from Car
son by the school Trustees. and are
being set out in the grounds surround
ing the school house. These trees will
soon form tho most attractive feature
in connection with that institution.
and the small amount Of money re-
quircd for the purpose could no. have
been better expended.
More trees are also being planted in
the University grounds, in addition to
the large number set out last year.
by q continuance OF this wise course
through II few years, these institutions
may literally have their Academic
groves" Eud become inviting Arcadia.
