A Bad Deed.

Some persons, not having the fear of
the law before their eyes, cut down and
appropriated to their own use several
of ths pine trees growing on the land
which Theodore Frleden purchased last
year from Richard Fitzsimmons. Mr..
Frieden has just completed fine home,
and was arranging to have these pines
taken up and planted near it as they
were of medium size and would afford
protection from storms. But just
before Christmas they were cut down
and taken away by some persons. The
deed cannot be too severely condemned,
and if the parties guilty of the theft
can be found they should be punished
to the extent of the law.
