It is often a matter of .surprise and regret

regret to say, is a common crime in most
parts of this country, and the principle on
euchsubjects is as low as it we!' can be in our
rural communities. "tie not an uncommon
occurrence to have our maim patch invaded

bands.- Property of this kind as well as
other ,fruits, is almost without protection
among us; it is petty lareency, and there are
laws on, the subject, but theseare s31dom or
neverenforced, and of course People are not
willing to throw limey viofley, tinter and
thought, to raise fruit. for those • who might
• raise it eauly for themselves, if they would
take the trouble and pains to do so. There
cab be no doubt thatthis state of things is a
serious obstacle to the cultivation of choice
finite in our towns and vil!azes.. Horticulture
would be in a much higlarr condition were it
not for this evil. But the impunity with
