of Augustine Simmons's Esq, which
took expression In the planting of the
shade trees in front of the Universalist
church in this village some fourteen
years ago. This church stood there
upon the hull for more than fifty years
before anyone thought of planting shade
trees around it. Now the grounds are
adorned with young trees which will
soon form beautiful avenue from the
street to the church. These trees, to
gether with those on the Academy
grounds, will soon make beautiful
grove where picnics and public meetings
can be held, thereby serving mission
of utility as we'll as beauty.
