The :presbytery, organized in Phila-

tennial Of which was celebrated in that
city. few days ago, was the first or
ganized UNCONVENTIONAL body in. the
American colonies to exist independ-
emily. Of European control. Commenting
on this, the Herald and Presbyter says:
"Presbyterians have been most pro
nounced in. their patriotism. More than
one half of the revolutionary. army was
made up Of sPresbyteriaRs, many Of its
most prominent generals beleng ingE to
this body. In fact, it was often called a
Presbyterian revolution. Attic Wash
ington himself was a member of ; the
Episcopal church, he could have done
nothing without Presbyterian sympathy
and assistance. his own church people
being, as members of the Church. of
England, very largely tory in their af-
filliiations. The famous Dir. 1Witherspoon
was the only minister of any dentoomi
nation who, as a member Of the CONT
mental congress, signed the Declaration
of Independence. ~ zssss.Ss.. >,

Or at least whole blocks, with the same
variety of trees at equal distances. No
tree should be closer than twenty five
feet to another, but thirty-fve to forty
feet apart is better. Boxelders and cot
tonwoods are not allowed as street
trees. The elm makes an elegant street
tree, but there are many other trees
worthy of consideration, such as lin:
dens, hard naples, oaks, etc. AS the
elm is at present greatly predominating,
it is desirable to- give some other va

= Trees must be- properly pruned from

ordains that the pruning Of street trees
be done only after securing a permit

pruning. Proper tree pruning requires
knowledge and experience, and mas
much as the park board is willing to
