A crew of men have been at work the
past week clearing away the bushes
around the bank of Pleasant Pond. We
are glad TO see the underbrush and un-
slightly bushes cleared away, but we
were somewhat surprised to find that
only one shade tree had been spared,
and that the bank of the pond next to
the road had been denuded of every liv.
ing thing and robbed of its beauty. If a
horse should take fright there now there
is nothing to hinder the animal FROM
plunging into the water.
