Ornamental Shade Trees.

MR. EpIToR Those of your readers who have travelled over the Central rail- road of Now Jersey must have been favor ably struck with the admirable taste and public spirit that has been displayed by the managers of that corporation in the embellishment of the grounds ad- joining it's way stations. which might well Dc initiated by other companies that arc receiving a liberal support from the travelling community - the Housatonic railroad included. An area of a few hundred feet of land in close proximity 10 the station. is set apart and artistically planted with ornamental towering shrubs. intermixed with a choice selection of evergreens that even in mid-winter. impart to it green and rural aspect. Of course some demurrer must be expected from the R. R. Co. at any expenditure of money for such q pur- pose at this time, although the erection of the new station would seem, of al
 others, the right one fol such an outlay. We all know that first impressions are apt to be the most lasting. and that noth- ing can be more repulsive to the eye of stranger on alighting from railroad car than the heterogeneous mass of dilapi- dated shanties with their accumulated dust and dirt. that are so common about our ay-stations; hence it Is worth while to inquire if some reformation in this respect Is not in some way to be accom-
 plished. A little open plot, laid out as I suggest, would serve as a pleasant re- sort for ladies and gentlemen, while awaiting the arrival of trains, that are now compelled to remain in a perhaps crowded station. closely resembling one of those Intelligence offices wherein household servants most do con gre gate" with an atmosphere that is fal from being wholesome or healthy. merely, however, throw out these hints without much expectation that an i'm
 provement which Is so "devoutly to be wished" will ever be carried out; but il 1t could be, the entrance to the village
 ria the railroad station would be more inviting, and tempt the stranger in pur suit of some pleasant summer abode ava, from the city's fulsome air, to proceed up to the broad street itself, and there locate until (at leasD Jack Frost agair makes his advent. This is an age o
 competition, and one cannot fail to sec
 rom year to year, increased efforts made to secure summer patronage, which has reached all those little towns, hitherto almost unknown, that skirt tho sea-shore
 as we'll as many of those old sleepy ones in the interior that have laid dormant fol several generations, and would not have old Newtown, by her supineness, become the flag of the flock" W. F. C.

Taunton Lake.

MR. EDITOR Can anybody tell why some enterprising citizen does not secure q piece of ground having with it a small grove of shade trees, along the shore of this beautiful sheet of water for the pur- pose of erecting little Pavilion for the use of fishing parties. or for pie nics, that would undoubtedly make it remunerutive to the proprietor, If properly conducted. A building not over one story in height
 with a good broad piazza overlookingthe
 Lake, containing q small parlor, dining room, kitchen. and, perhaps, 8 billiard room, with closets for fishing tackle. etc., would comprise all the apartments re- quircd for such purpose; this should be located near some safe bathing ground Of one could be found), and accessible to boats, which the proprietor should be able at all times to furnish. Once estab- llshed, there is every reason to believe that constant patronage would be extend cd to 1t during the summer H onths, not only by the citizens of the town Gnclud- Ing the bonrders at the two hotels), but, also, by those of Danbury and other vil- lages within mornings drive of this charming Lake. It Is unfortunate that a house of this kind. so much needed by those who would occasionally seek q days recreation with the hook and line
 or In boating, has not long ago been es- tablished: one to which a person who
 as Joseph Surface says. that has "some character to lose, might resort and come in Brookfleld. Danbury, or to "the street" itself, with a clear conscience and an un- damaged reputation. Comparisons are odorous," good master Dogberry says, hence I will not attempt to draw them between my plan, as aforesaid, fer pub lie house on the margin of the Lake, and the one now existing there, which has been, unfortunately, in the enjoyment of questionable reputation, under it's various landlords, for a generation at least. However well it might be now conducted, ''all the perfumes of Arabia" would fail to sweeten it, and it is not probable that the owner of the property would think 1t worth his while to make any attempt at an improvement in that quarter. A summers soiourn at Dicks, with such pleasant drives as the one through the Glen. etc, affords. (to say nothing of the advantages of good fish, ing on the Lake). ought to satisfy the most dyspeptic individual. who might add to these enjoyments an occasional swim In It's cool and limpid waters that can never stagnate. w.

There fore, lot it be distinctly understood that, from this date all subscriptions must Do paid in advance; and after giving due notice to subscribers when their paper runs out, If not renewed promptly, the paper will be stopped.

A Good Reporter.

A good reporter is always first cousin to a nccromancsr. and can introduce him. self to you In such genial way that for the time being he seems like your long lost brother. who Is anxious to show you the strawberry mark on his left arm In proof of his identity. You talk with him about the inner secrets of your life in q profuse sort of way, give him your opinion about the resumption of specie payment, and, as the conversation flows. freely unfold yourself on various other matters. He sits a silent and admiring listener, encouraging you by nod when you are hunting for the right word. or possibly supplying 1t himself. and gives you the impression that he wouldn't dis. close what you have told him-no, not for worlds on worlds. The next day you take up the paper and while carelessly looking over It's columns see your own name in capitals which seem to yonr as- tonished gaze as long as Bunker It'll Monument.

They had not been married long, so they sat down to play "checkers." In the middle of the game she said:

An Important Decision.

Those persons and institutions that make a
business of lending money ON bond and mort
gage will do we'll to note decision just rem
dered by the United States Supreme Court.
man applied to a firm of brokers in Wash
ington, to negotiate for him loan of $500.
He offered as security certain real estate which
he represented to be his, and produced the cer-
tifcate of a well-known lawyer of Washington
that the title was good. On application of the
brokers, the National Savings Bank of the
District of Columbia advanced the loan, taking
negotiable note signed by the borrower, a
trust deed of the property, and the lawyers
certificate as to the title, which the bank re-
quired should be brought down to the date of
the loan. The note became due in year, but
was not paid. The bank proceeded to sell the
premises under the trust deed, when it was
discovered that the pretended owner to whom
the loan had been made had no title to the
property, but had transferred it before negoti-
ations for the loan were begun. The deed had
been duly executed and recorded, but had been
overlooked by the lawyer who examined the
title. 1t was not claimed that the lawyer in
certifying that the claimants title was good
had acted fraudulently or dishonesty. He had
made fatal mistake, but it was the result of
negligence. The bank now sued the lawyer
claiming that it had sustained loss by reason
of his erroneous certificate as to the title The
Supreme Conrt holds that the lawyer is not
liable. The court fully comedies that an attor-
ney who holds himself out as competent to ex-
anime titles to real estate is bonnd to exercise
reasonable care and skill in his profession az d
that he is liable for damages which result from
his negligence or incompetency. But he is lia-
BILE to his client and not to third person, un-
less, perhaps. in a case of fraud, falsehood OF
collusion. In the case before the court there
had been no contract between the bank and
the defendant attorney; hence, the latter was
not liable for the loss sustained by the former.
Three of the eight justices, Mr.. Justice Hunt
being absent, aissented from this opinion.
Among them was Chief Justice Waite, who
thought that ''if a lawyer employed to exam
inc and certify to the recorded title of real
property, give his client certificate which he
knows or ought to know is to be used by the
client in some business transaction with anoth-
er person as evidence of the facts certified to,
he is liable to such other person relying on his
certificate for any loss resulting from his fail
ure to find on record a conveyance affecting
the title, which, by the use of ordinary profess
sional care he might have found."-N. Y.
