Hughes with forgery and the em- be: element of three thousand dollars, the sum appropriated by the last Legislature on behslf of the Historical Society. It Is claimed that the war rants for the appropriation were se- cured by Hughes forging the names of the directors of tl e society. and he afterwards cold the warrants and ap- propriated the money. Hughes ha. been Clerk of the Board of Sup-ryis- 1rs. He was infor med on Tuesday that if he failed 10 make good the warrants of the Historical Society he would be removed as Cle:k of the Board Of Supervisors. That night an attempt Was made to burn the court house by making Q fire in the cellar under the Board of Supervisors room, whi th wssdi.covered in time to pre- vent the destruction of the building. Yesterday the investigati n looked bad tor Hughes. He soon disappeared from the city. Ills whereabouts can not be ascertsiDed.

The denizens of towns find the pear
one Of the most satisfactory fruit trees for
shade. 1t is deep roofing and many
other things may be successfully grown
right up to thei> trunks. Insects trouble
them little. They grow rather fast, but it
is many years before they get an objection
ably large size. The apple makes a
spreading head, and there is soon shade
under its branches, and besides, the
beauty of its blossoms in spring makes
the tree appreciated fully equal to mere
ornamental one. 1t is not very serious
robber of the soil. The cherry makes a
desirable shade, but birds make too free
with the frui,, and there is the temptation
to break branches. The sour or pie
cherries are, however, not relished BY
birds. European walnut trees grow
rather slowly. 1t is usually ten years be
fore they produce nuts in any quantity,
but after this they are regarded as
treasures with which their owners would
not willingly part. For Utility and
greatetul shade combined few trees can
rival them. -LadieS' HoMe TonrHol
