TO CURE o., NOT TO CURE.-That is
! the question, and the only question which
affects in the slightest degree the interests of
such persons as are afflicted with dyspepsia,
disordered bowels. loss of appetite, nervous
headache, constipation. and such other dis
eases as have their oragin in improper diges-
ton. We admit that sufferers had better bear
their ills than resort to remedies that they
know not; out when they have the assurance
BITTERS are an unfailing remedy for these
complaints; that they purify the blood
strengthen the nervous system, quicken the
liver, enliven the mind, and expel all improper
secretions, it is a little strange that all who
suffer do not. seek relief by the use of them.
These BITTERS have now borne the test Of
time, and from their curative powers have be-
come an established family medicine in this
section of the country. Their properties are
purely vegetable: may be taken by all GLASSES

Roadside shade-Schoel-n
Parks,

But few of our road-ways have Ieceifeo snos
special attention which planting snaoe-trees
would produce in pleasing scenery ana IN
comfort to the traveller. The short sections OF
shade which some have is more the result OF
chance circumstances than design. Tne roaos
mostly travelled are generally the least pro-
tected from the SUMS rays and consequently
the most uncomfortable Of all.
The present intensely warm weather. wnen
every person called to pass along our country
roads must experience the discomfort arising
from the burning heat, should be suncient TO
awaken a general desire to seek remedy LOT
future relief. Whilst the mode OF rei1ef Is
not Immediate in its effects, yet 1t Will IN Time
grow to perfection. giving adornment TO the
country as well as shelter from the summers
sun to the weary Traveller.
If each landowner would bestow few days
in season to tree-planting along the ROADS
which pass through his premises, an increased
value of property would soon result from II.
The cost of tho labor expended is all that mas
to be met, and then the permanent pubic
blessing of furnishing relief to the traveller
and imparting freshness and picturesque
scenery along the highways of the country
Will all follow in pleasing results lor httie
labor carefully bestowed.
SchOOl-hOuSe GROUNDS are also Puoiio PioP-
erty. But few of them have parks or shade-
trees. 1t only requires little systematic
effort, united with some taste, to make In
few years handsome groves and parks where
now are often sterility and bleakness.
We have heretofore adverted to the dement's
which would result il Improvements of this
character were commenced. The spirit of
progress would annually increase and the char
acter OF the public highways and the public
grounds all over the country would soon pre-
sent new and changed appearance for the
better.
1t was suggested some weeks since that the
Board of Supervisors could appropriately lead
the way for a general movement by recon-
mending and setting apart one week in No
vember and March of each year, during which
all disposed might give day in each week to
tree planting. and thus inaugurate a COM
mencement which is all that IL needed to Sc
cure the most pleasing results. The sugges-
ton was received then with favor, and is
again renewed, for, if concurred in. the August
meeting would not be too soon to announce
the pleasure of the Board.
