TRANsPLANTING.-The ques-
ton is asked, if it makes any
difference whether the same
side of tree is set TO the north
as it stood in the nursery. In
answer, we may state that album
dant experience shows that no
difference whateveroccurs, how
ever the tree may be set, fit is
only few years old; but in re-
moving old trees. which have
stood for many years, the same
side should be set to the sun as
before. The bark on the north
side. having for a long time re-
NAMED in the shade, will not
always bear the SUMS rays so
we'll as the side which has been
long Injured to them. and some
times, not always, the shaded
bark is injured, bIackened or
killed by the sudden exposure.
It is not often that such large
trees are removed, but when
they are, it is safest to preserve
the same points Of the compass.

Help One Another.

This little sentence should be
written on every. heart and
stamped on every memory. 1t
should be the golden rule prac-
ticed not only in every house
hold, but throughout the world.
BY helping one another, we re-
move the thorns from the path
way and anxiety from the mind,
and We feel a sense of pleasure
IN our hearts, knowing we are
doing q duty to a fellow-creature.
A helping hand or an encoura-
ging word is no loss to us, yet
1T is a benefit to others. Who
has not felt the power of this
sentence? Who has not needed
the encouragement and the aid
of a kind friend? How soothing,
when perplexed with some task
that is mysterious and burden
some, to feel o gentle hand on
the shoulder, aud to hear a kind
voice whispering, Do not be
discouraged; / see your trouble
let me help you" What strength
is inspired what hope created /!
what sweet gratitude is felt, and
the great difficulty is dissolved
as dew beneath the sunshine.
Yes, let US help one another by
endeavoring to strengthen and
encourage the weak and lift the
burden of care from the weary
and oppressed, that life may
glide smoothly on, and the fount
of bitterness yield sweet waters;
and he whose willing hand is
ever ready to aid us will reward
ourhumble endeayors, and every
good deed be as bread cast upon
the waters, to return after many
days. if not to us, TO those we
love.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

The Layout of Burtonia Place Com. sidered-Who Owns the Land of the East Street Outlet Sewer-B1lIs Approved.
 A meeting of the Board of Public Works was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Gil bert {presiding), Fuller, Crawford, Feldman, Stackpole and Reilly.
 The Board first heard parties interested in the layout of Burtonia Place, an order for the same having been made by the Court of Common Council and referred to the Board for hearing.
 J. Burton Hine appeared to oppose the proposed layout. He said it would be 8 damage to his property on Bishop street, as it would take land from his lots on that street which are now only one hundred and twenty feet deep. He said he owned the land now occupied by the street known as Burtonia Place and paid taxes on it.
 Martin Greuner, William Krengel and Ed ward Siegel appear in favor of the proposed layout After hearing the parties in interest the matter was tabled for executive session. The Board voted to submit the matter to the city engineer to make layout and submit it to the Court of Common Council.
 Engineer Hill said that the matter of dredging under the Chapel street bridge was referred to him some time since and he had taken measurements of the depth of water at the bridge at high water and found that there was about ten feet six inches. The depth of the channel above and below for some dis tance was about the same depth, varying only an inch or two. If dredging was done at the bridge it should be done up and down the river as well. The matter was tabled.
 Engineer Hill said that in regard to the him and MT. Gilbert, he had found that the cost for draining it would be about one thousand dollars. The motion was tabled
 MT. Stackpole brought up the East street outlet sewer question and asked if the city owned the land or the Steamboat company when the sewer was built.
 He was informed that when the sewer was built that the city obtained the right of way and the right to protect the same from drainage.
 MT. Stackpole said that he had heard the ownership of the land disputed and he thought it would be good idea to have the records searched. On his motion the mat ter was referred to the Corporation Counsel to investigate and report
 The 1'T" rails laid by the New Haven and West Haven horse railroad on Meadow and Portsea streets were approved and permis- sion was granted the company to lay the same kind of rails in Howard and Kimberly avenues.
 Bills for the month of November amount ing to $28, ,338. .03 were approved
 l.. w. Burt, who has the contract for building the Sea street outlet sewer, ap- peared before the Board and asked for per mission to sub-let his contract for the stone work or casing for that portion of the sewer which is built in the water He also asked permission to use Portland stone in place of East Haven stone or Stony Creek granite The specifications call for stone equal to East Haven stone or Stony Creek granite. The Board did not think the Portland stone equal to the others named and so did not grant the request. Permission was given MT. Burt to sub-let the stone work.
