Dominion line was thought of. Every place is encouraging the citizens to plant trees; would any sane person think that the men of the telegraph companies have power to cut out the linthe from the heart of the trees, eighteen foot long, under the idea of clearing the wires,,when six inches would deit, to clear one or two wires, be- sides leaving the brush in thietreee and strewn over the streets. The Montreal • line mon .lest yefer were careful -not $- cut more than' sufficient to elearlhe Wiree, and they have double the number of wires the other lino has.. ,Will our authorities allow the outrage to pass by and net prosecute the , company and protect the citizens of this town from such vandalism, Let any citizen, who has any interest in trees, take aalk frore Coats' -corner on the Crederith road, west, and up Albert, street toTewse 1 hes ,00..rnere And ego. the Atata.•ox.the- trees.
