The elm tree beetle is creating havoc among the fine shade trees in his vicinity. The trees have been hit ! harder than ever before, as evidenced by the windrows of dead leaves which ie beneath some of the finest trees in Fair Haven. It is said that three sea- tons of the elm beetle is usually suf- icient to kill tree. The beetle was < evidence last year, although not to ny such extent as at the present time. Brown and withered leaves are lying beneath the trees in almost as great brofusion as in the late autumn. On bome of the trees half the leaves re- #naining are dead, the life having been baten out of them by the destructive beetle, and it only wants heavy wind 0 almost despoil the trees of their fo- iage.
