PRocLAIMs ARBoR DAY.

Governor Morrill, Names April lire
cOmmesds Its Observance.
Governor Morrill, has issued the fol-
lowing Arbor day proclamation:
when our state was admitted into
the Union it was vast prairie. Trees
were found only skirting the numerous
small streams which carry the numer.
GUS waters to the sea. Artificial groves
were almost unknown. Now, IN the
eastern part of the state the prairies
are dotted with beautiful groves, offer
ing shade to the traveller and rest to
the weary husbandman. The whole
aspect of the country has been chang
ed. In many Of the eastern countries
it has more the appearances of 8 tim
Der country which has been partially
cleared.
sit WAS wise suggestion of one of
my distinguished predecessors that a
day he set apart to be devoted by the
people Of the state to planting out
trees. Every sch0OlhOuse and every
church in the state should be- sur,
rounded by them. The highways should
be lined with beautiful shade trees and
every home should be beautifled By
the planting out of trees and shrub.
berry.
II would, therefore, most earnestly
urge that the 18th day of April be sci
apart apart as Arbor day, to be devoted
to identifying the home and the pub.

house. demanding something to eat, which
was refused by the frightened children,
who slammed and locked the door. The
children soon discovered the summer kitch-

out and extinguished the flames. As soon
as the flames were extinguished the tramp
appeared again and demanded food, saying
he would kill all of them If they did not
give him something to eat or If they ever
told of him being there" Again he was
locked out. and soon the large barn was
discovered fire. Afraid of their lives,
the three small children stood inside the
house and saw the flames destroy the
barn, containing thirty tons of hay, wheat,
oats and twelve head of Jersey cattle, en-
