Sunday some hoodlums entered I. N.
Orchards yard, at the corner of Front

and thrown on the ground, while those
too heavy TO be broken entirely off
were torn down and left hanging. If

well caned. Mr.. Orchard deeply regrets
the ruin of the trees, which were six
years old and had been carefully tended
by him since the day they were set out.
