EJ(WIlereene.
There is in the penitentiary at Buffalo
a young inn who lute made a reputation
for himeelf as a gey deceiver whin may
land him in state prison for bigamy. Ho
ie John Green, a telegraph operator, nod
so far as known hag three wives, one in
Buffalo and two in Canada, with several
other cities to hear from.
The story of Green's experienees is a
ernarkable one and fall of cluplioity,
On July and he married Min Helen
Tripp, of Buffalo, under the name of
George Howard Severna% The girl
discovered on his linen his real name and
Risked him what it meant, and then he
confessed that his name was John Green
and that be had been married under an
assumed mime, She demanded that he
marry her under his real tame and he
did so and then went to live with her at
bus parent's home. She is rt, well known
young lady and highly thought of.
Gen stayed tvith her two clays and
then disappeared. She appealed to the
polios and sin° then they have been
looking for hitn. He was found in Al-
bany, brought bask to Buffalo and tried
for deserting his wife, and on this oharge
was convicted and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for three months.
In the meantime the police had not
been idle and have gathered enough evi-
dence, it is said, to send the young man
to the state prison for a term of years.
They have learned that before corning to
Buffalo Green worked in London, King-
ston and Toronto and that be was quite
a lady's man in those plane. In Toron-
to he pretended to fall in love with a
young lady well known in the city. Her
parents objected to his attentionand
told him so, The result was an elope-
ment ane when the runaway couple re.
turned they were forgiven. They had
only been gone over night and the next
day Green left Toronto for parts un-
known. It has transpired, however,
that from Toronto he went to Kingston,
where he went to work in the algae of
the G. N. W. He had not been there
more than a week when he. began to pay
attentions to a young girl who worked in
one of the stores there, and in a few
days be prevailed upon her to marry
him. In this case the honeymoon lasted
longer than usual with him and he re-
mained with his wife for over a week.
Then he disappeared as he had in To.
melte and as he had done later in But
fake The police have made their in.
vestigatione very thoroughly and are
satisfied that Green has at the lent half
a dozen wives waiting for him in various
parts of the country. They refuse to
make publio the names of his victims on
the ground that they are respectable
girls and the notoriety of their deserbion
would be too much for them to bear,
Green's brother has written to the
polies to say that his brother has been
the disgrace of the family, and that if his
record in Canada is looked into very
carefully ib will be found to be rather
shady.

plintions in the matrimonial adventures
of Telegrapher John Green. It has been
learned that Green, whose aline by the
way has been Sheviin and not Severance,
has four other wives. One is in Oin-
cinnati, Ohio, and he deserted her a
month after their manage. She has
been looking for him for nearly two
years and is coming now to prosecute
bim for bigamy. He married her nnder
the name of Sherlin, and, after a brief
honeymoon, skipped and left her a grass -
widow. Another wife is Marion Knighb,
of Providence, R. I., whom be acknow-
ledges but says he did not live happily
with, and she secured a divorce ; and in
Jamestown there is a girl named Lottie
King who °lain' him as her husband,
it is said. It was learned from a fellow-
operatoe of Green's, who worked with
him in Canada, that he was married to a
girl in Newbery, thirty milealfr om Lon.
don, and he left her as he left his last
wife in Buffalo, suddenly and witbout
saying where he was going.

FORESTAY.
'no the Editor of Tim Poor.
Som—There is no subject of mop vital
concern to the people of this Province,
and more espeoially the farmers, than
that of the preservation of the forests.
It is much to be wished that the public],
aobively and zealously interested as they
are in public) matters of ten of infinitely
less consequence to themaelyee, weld be
brought to a realising sense of the evils
which are certain to ensue from the des•
emotion of the forests unless a haat is
called in the prooess of devastation. Of
late years the Government of Ontario
has been fully alive to the urgency of the
ease and has done mien to prevent the
needless end wasteful exploitation of our
forest resources, But so far as the set-
tled portions of the province are concern•
ed where the land ut on private hands
man more depends upon individual and
local action and the forme of public opiu.
ion than upon anything within the
power 01 the Provincial anthoribies. It
ought by this time to be generally re.
cognized that unless a certain proporbioa
of the land is allowed lo remain in ticn.
bar the conditions of soil, moisture and
temperature favorable to agricultnee will
ohange rapidly for the worse. This ie
the teaching of universal experience. In
the history of the older nannies of the
world we have ample warning, if man-
kind were capable of learning from the
experience of others, as unfortunately
they are not, of the manner in which
vast and fertile regions have become
barren deserts owing to no other oause
than the destruation of their ferrate.
In the older settled regions of our own
favored oontinent, the beginnings of the
same peones are noticeable. The
natural funotion of the foretell is the reg.
illation of the water supply. Where a
due proportiou of the land on rising
ground and near the head waters of
streams remains in timber the water
from descending rains and melting snow
whin would otherwise run off suddenly
in 4:tenants is retained and absorbed by
the vegetation, roots, and surface soil.
Ib gradually percolates through the
watereoursee maintaining a dandy
flow. Parts of the moisture is given
out into the atmosphere modifying
the dryness and heat of summer. When
the forests are out down the water after
min runes away in a flood often causing
great damage. In a short time the
country is dry and arid, and if a con-
siderable interval follows without rain
there ie a dna-midi and the crops suffer.
The streams dry up instead of maintain-
ing a supply all the year round. Now,
any old eettler will tell you that floods
and drought are much more frequeut in
Ontaeio than they used to be and that
rivers and streams 111 midsummer have
mugh smaller volume than formerly.
This is dne to uothing else than the clear-
anoe of land that ought to have bean
lefb in thnber much of vehicle ie of little
uso for anything ales. Again the trees
ant as a protectiot against the winds, and
deprived of this the ()rope often suffer,
especially fall wheat and olover whin

in their anxiety to dear every foot of

Independent Foresters.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
High Court of Ontario, Independent
Order of Foresters, was held in the
prettily situated town of Banjo, ab which
there were upwards of 800 delegates
present from the 430 subordinate °mute
in this province. This order, which
eleven years ago had a total membership
of 806, and a debt of $4,000, bee nixie
such rapid growth during the past .deciade
that its membership to -day is over 139,•
000, with a reserve fund of $470,710.40.
Althogether there are 1,111 courts in the
Order, 252 of whin were organized dur•
ing the past year. The total number of
members in Ontario at the present time
is over 18,0e0. For every member re.
moved by death 81 new nes were added
during the year. The growth and pros•
parity of the Order, which are simply
phenomenal, are in no small measure due
to the indefatigable exertions of the
Supreme High Chief, Dr. Oronyateltlea,
and the other able men at its head, both
in the Supreme and High Gonne. A
large amount of business was transacted
ab the High Court meeting. The election
of officers resulted as follows 1-3.1ev,
