Trustees, Meeting.


A meeting of the Trustees OF the McDo-
nou ii School Fund, was held in this village on
Monday. Ofthe board Messrs Hugh Mitchell,
John l. Jenkins, Richard H. Edelen and F.
P. Hamilton, were present. The purpose of
the meeting was to consider the investment of
the accumulated funds in the hands of the
Treasurer. The board passed an order direct
ing the Treasurer, Mr.. John II. Mitchell, to
invest the same in some reliable security. Mr..
Mitchell states that the yearly income from
the investment amounts to about 1900, but
a part of this sum is not collected, because it
ia derived from the interest on several old
mortgages, and to collect it, the mortgaged
property would have to be sold, and sale
would mean the purchase of property by the
Trustees, and the hoard could not afford to
manage real estate. The pay the Trustees get
is good dinner of the days of meeting and
the Treasurer who also acts as Secretary gets
a small salary of two hundred dollars year.

Popular Naples.

The maple family is a deservcdiy
popular one, for there is no other
family of trees drawn on so much as
this one is for shade and ornamen tai
purposes, says writer in Practical
Farmer. No doubt their ease Of
growth helps along their popularity,
for tree must not be an expensive
one that is to be generally planted.
Fashion is a little capricious in re-
gard to trees, as it is in other mat
ters Some ten years ago the sugar
maple was the principle tree de-
manded of all other naples. Before
that the sycamore maple had been the
favorite. Then the Norway's turn
came. and to-day it is the favorite,
though it has by no means displaced
the sugar, which is still very much
planted. There is again signs of re-
turning affection for the European
sycamore. 1t is really good tree,
is of quick growth, has clean. smooth
bark and large leaves The only
valid objection to it, and it is not a
great one, is, that the seeds do not
ulOp db OuCc WHcH ripe, puO hdliS vi
the better part of the winter. The
common silver maple, or white
maple, used to be favorite tree
for the city, but its very large growth
when of some age unified
it for the purpose, and to-day it is
not so much used as it, used to be.
But it is fine tree for wide avenues
or for pasture lots or elsewhere
whore the free growth will not be
undesirable. The led maple is the
one usually found in low situations
and which is so much admired be-
cause OF the fine display its red flow
ers make in early spring. and the
brilliant hue its foliage assumes in
the fall. 1t is slow growing tree,
but makes a large and handsome one
in time. There are many other medi-
um sized ones and shrubs, but the tree
kinds are embraced in those named.
The sugar maple is planted as much
for fine autumn effect as for its shade.
The bronze yellow OF its foliage in
the closing days of autumn is most
beautiful In this respect it much
surpasses the popular favorite, the
Norway, which changes its color but
little at all, keeping green up to the
time il falls from the tree. This
tree Is more round headed than any
of the others, and has larger leaves
