Willow Tree Uprooted.

Baptist parsonage, gave away to the
forces of nature on Thursday last.
1t is now lying low in the Lackawax-
en-. The extremely high and turbu-
lent water in the stream washed in
and around the roots of this old
monarch which caused it to fall. 1t
has been in an inclined position for
several years. We notice that anoth-
er one of the large trees is so badly
decayed that it cannot stand much
longer, and would suggest that the
improvement society have some
young trees planted in between all
these old trees to take their place
when they are gone.
