MAKE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

Tho following suggestions
made and advice given by the
Advertiser to the citizens of
Handsboro, will apply with
equal force to the property
owners Of Oxford:
Now is the season when tree
planting can be done to advan-
tage, not only can be, but should
be attended to by every citizen
who cares for the futuro looks
Of the town. This kind Of orna-
mentation is not only cheap but
beautiful, more so than ia per.
haps generally thought. Take,
for instance, Main street-"a
prettier street" strangers have
often said, the prettiest they
ever saw. This beauty is due
entirely to the trees-nothing
else, and surely whore beauty
can be had SO cheap and of such
valuable quality, it is surprising
that attempts are not made to
improve property in this way.
There are many places here
where a few trees, oaks, cedars,
ma Jas, etc., can be planted
to- 4ntage. Such q work
wofs>fot only add to the looks
of the properties, but greatly
increase their value. A case in
point. A few years ago a GER
tain property was offered for
&1,5OO. The present owner has
planted shade trees of different
kinds, and now that they are
growing finely, and adding to
the looks and value Of his place,
he is SO satisfied with the re-
suit, that nots H q cent less
than $4,000 can 40 property be
had,and no sale is desired even
at that price.
Trees are plentiful, and there
10 not q single citizen, who but
by q few hours light labor to
that end, can thus improve his
property. Even the planting
of one treo, . cedar or other
kind, will be better than mono
ct all. The subject 10 one Of
real importance, and if acted
upon time will show good re-
suits, work wonders in tho
of the town and reflect
great credit upon the property
owners.

New ORLEANS. March 21.-The Mississippi
River Commission, which arrived here last
evening from an inspection of the works be-
low Cairo, held a meeting at noon to-day on
board their steamboat, the Mississippi, lying at
the head OF Lafayette street, at which Capt.
Eads was present. He had not teen with the
commission on their inspecting tour but re-
manned IN this city and at the ietties. The
chief topic OF discussion was the alleged dam
ger OF the diversion Of the waters OF the Mis-
sissippi from the present channel into the At
chafalaya, and the best means of meeting such
threatened calamity. Capt. Eads held that
the CITY OF New Orleans was in great danger
from the river seeking this outlet TO the Gull
leaving Il on the ba ks OF dead lagoon. He
found the cloying OF the Atchafalaya outlet
solid wall, the effect of which, he said, would
be 10 increase the velocity of the current and
its ability to Ecour the channel through his
ietties TO the sea. He offered q resolution to
take measures for the clearing Of the At
chafalaya. In this he met with no second, the
otAcr members being content to place sill
across the head OF the river 70 shoal its drain
TO IL feet and prevent further irruption. The
plans Of the suryeysof Major Stickney were
examined and fully diecussed, and they aided
10 strengthening the conviction of the major
iiy that there was no danger OF the supposed
diversion OF the Mississippi through the At
chafalsya, that is, within the next few hun
afed leaff. Inc resolution was finally pnt
TO vote, however, but all voted against 1t ex-
cept its author. The meeting then closed.
The boat was ordered 10 return up the river
The commission dispersed TO their homes.
Capt. Eads exhibited considerable temper and
told the commission he would no longer re-
main with them. He Immediately forwarded
his resignation 10 the President. He recon-
mended, however, the appointment OF Col
Henry Flad OF st. Louis in his place. The
following members OF the commission were
aboard: Gen. O. B. Cometc,k, President:
Judge Taylor, Maj. Il. NJ. Harold, Prof
Mitchell, Capt. Eads, Capt. q. B. Sears and

hign and about twice % wide. His cell was
Just under the ROOT, to which he climbed and

front OF the Jail, directly over the sleeping
apartment OF the warden, and tying his blan-
ket TO a tuiret began ID descend The ground
was fifty feet below, the blanket WIS only ten
feet long, and Prime expected 10 drop the re-
naming distance. After be had descended a
few feet the blanket gave way and he fell forty
feet, striking on fagstone pavement. He
was badly injured in his legs, but managed to
walk and crawl TO his house, six squares away,
where, as he suffered SO much from his bruises
and the scratches he received when he forced
himself through the window, he sent for De-
tective Simons aud delivered himsslf up. He
was taken 20 jail In Black Maria and the
first intimation the jailers had of the escape
was the return of the prisoner. His fall had
resulted in such severe injuries that it is prob
able he will be unable TO walk for weeks to
come.

A Peculiar win Case.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March GA peculiar
will case came up in the probate court yester-
day. About six years ago Albert Goodyear Of
Hamden died, leaving an estate OF $4,000;
three weeks ago his widow died, and March
: Tth hen will and that Of her deceased husband
were offered for probate. 1t ssems the will OF
Goodyear had been In the possession OF his
wife since her husbands death and was ouly
discovered when her effects we're searched by
tho executor, Alfred ID. Goodyear. A bequest
of 5000 was left to the church at Mt. Carmel,
and to his brother George the use of $1,000 dur.
ing life, and various other minor bequests.
The rest OF the property was equally divided
between wife and son, Alfred ID. Goodyear.
Mrs Goodyear makes several bequests to her
relatives The failure 10 have the senior
Goodyear's will pro5ated presents complies
tons. The statute provides that wills must be-
probated within ten years after the death OF
the testator, and that tbg executor having ac-
knowledged the appointment, must present
the will thirty days after the death of the tes-
tator under the penalty fine Of SIT month
until the will Is presented; also any one fraud
uently suppressing tue will, knowing of Its
existence, Is liable to imprisonment for five
years. The executor, Of course, could not
know Of the existence Of the will, and there
fore is not liable. II Ia alleged Mrs. Goodyear
said before her death that she had her hus-
bands will In her possession, and that Alfred
knew IT, and that IL was s matter between
themselves. Numerous heirs are deeply inter-
ested in the case, and the hearing will develop
| strange complications
