Messrs. T. J. Gorman and Robinson,

 again been elected by acclamation as 

 town councilors, but Mr. McKenna is

Rosen-Zeitung, Trier, comes to us 

 this month with two colored plates o£ 

 roses, Contessa Cecilia Lurani,

Martin & Sons. St. Catharine street, 

 Montreal, were sold out by bailiff's 

 sale on Tuesday, the 8th inst. This 

 is an old established florist firm, do- 

 ing business in the one store for about 

 thirty years and at one time was very 

 prosperous. 



On January 10th a formal transfer 

 of all the property of the assigned 

 estate of Robert Craig & Son was 

 made by Assignee Burton to Robert 

 A. Craig for the stated sum of twenty- 

 two thousand dollars. Robert A. Craig 

 is presumed to be acting as trustee 

 for the new company, which is to op- 

 erate the plant. Assignee Burton's 

 duties are now purely financial and 

 his connection with the practical run- 

 ning of the Craig place ceased on 

 January 10th. 



H. D. Heminway. of the Hartford 

 School of Horticulture, advocates the 

 liberal planting of white pine trees. 

 He considers it one of the most valu- 

 able of the soft woods, and one for 

 which there is always a market. Two 

 plantations have been started in Con- 

 necticut recently, and there is room 

 for many more. Mr. Heminway de- 

 plores the indiscriminate cutting of 

 everything . that can be sold from a 

 wood-lot. The farmer would be re- 

 paid in the end if he cut only the ripe 

 wood, and replanted at a reasonable 

 time.

The report on the Arnold Arboretum 

 at Jamaica Plain, recently submitted 

 to Harvard board of overseers, recom- 

 mends the addition of two new de- 

 partments, one for the study of dis- 

 eases of trees and another for the 

 study of insects injurious to trees and 

 other plants. It states that the in- 

 ci me of the Arboretum is inadequate 

 for additional work; that an endow- 

 ment that will produce an income of 

 $50,000 will hardly be sufficient to 

 carry on the work already commenced 

 and provide for the new departments 

 mentioned; it suggests an assured in- 

 come for carrying on dendrological 

 explorations in this and foreign coun- 

 tries and for the publication of the 

 results of its valuable scientific work. 

 A warm tribute is paid to the life-long 

 devotion of Prof. Sargent to the Ar- 

 boretum and the contributions from 

 bis personal income in its behalf.
