Tree-lilantiâ€"n‘g on Farms. To the Editor of the Gazette. l Sir,â€" Many inquiries have been made of, late as to the best: method of cstab E ‘ iishing small plantations of hardwood on farms, where the natural supply of; timber has run short. The best reply l that can be given to these is that to in- sure rapidity of growth we must. plant enough young: trees to shade the ground to a considerable extent, that is to say. plant young trees say three or four feet high and about four feet apart each way. This is about four times as many trees as will be ultimately needed, and there- fore, it is well to plant three fourths ma: plcs, which are cheap common trees of easy growth, and make every fourth tree a tree of better and more durable variety, such as ash, hickory, or cherry. As the plantation gets too close the ma- ples can be cut out, and will make good fuel, leaving the more valuable trees, which will yet stand quite close enough to answer the purpose. Of course my readers understand that to grow clear timber fit for manufacturing purposes, the trees must grow closely otherwise they will run to branches. This is the mode practised by the best United States planters. Do not let the maples climb too high above the others.

Last Sunday evening Thomas: Jnn- kin, about; 14 years old. third son of Mr. James Junkin, of Vcrulam, was thrown from a horse of Mr. Wm. Mar- tin’s at his (Mr. Martin’s) place, and had both bones of his right. leg broken about. three inches ab0vo the ankle. He also goLa black eye from the fall. He was reaching.r out fora pail which was being handed up to him by one of Mr. Martin’s children, when the horse, be- coming frightened, madc a sudden bound and threw his rider, with the results above stated. Dr. A. Wilson, who was called, gave chloroform and reduced the fracture. At a threshing at Mr. Jas. Patterson’s, Verulam, on Wednesday, Mr. E lward Kelly, one of the owners of the machine, met with an accident that will stop him from working until near Christmas, at any rate. While shovelling grain he raised his right hand high enough for it to come in contact with the scythe of acradlc that was hanging mar-head, and a deep gash nearly two inches long was cut in the side of the hand, almost parallel with the forefinger. Mr. Thos. Junkin immediately went with him to. the Falls in a buggy, and Dr. Wi|s0u put five stitches in the wound, and then dressed it. Those of our villagers who were out. later than about 8 o'clock last. Tuesday night; had terribly hard work getting home, the streets and sidewalks being covered with glare ice caused by the rain freezing as it fell. Thcrebciug a high wind, pedestrians went. smiling.r be- fore it in spite of their most determined resistence; and one ingenious gentle- man, finding it. impossible to. make. any headway in his boots, deliberately sat. down, (which wasn’t a difficult thing to do,) pulled them off, and walked home~ triumphantly in his stockings. (Joul- paratively few escaped without a fall or two; but. the only person hurt, as far as we know, was Mr. Ric-hard Cooper, who fell whilc crossing a rough piece of ground, and struck the back of hishcad with such violence that a good deal of blood flowed from the wound that was inflicted. He was nearly stunned and saw thousands of imaginary stars, but fortunately there were no serious results from the accident. The T. V. Commission. The sitting of a commission at Peter‘ borough to obtain the opinion of parties interested as to the advantages that the Trent Valley Canal would confer on that locality. may be a way of obtaining their views; but it. is too narrow an en- quiry to have much weight in deciding the important question of building the canal. That being a matter of millions. the whole question of the benefits it would confer upon the Dominion, as well as on the route through which it. was to pass, and its estimated cost, should have been laid before Parliament and the public before one'dollar was expended on its construction. This was not done. and the action of the Govern- ment just before the last Dominion elec- tion, in voting large sums for its con- struction, gave the opposition occasion to suggest. that the object of the vote was to gain the support of the residents along the line of the canal. The very slow action ol the Government since then, and its donothiny.r policy of last year, led not a few to imagine that no thin-3r more was to be done, and that the costly locks at Burlcigh, Buckhorn and this village were to be allowed to crumble into ruins. The present move- ment indicates, though only fecbly, an , intention to take action, provided the ' residents make out a good emu; other- wise the Government may not doany- thing in the, way of asking grants of money to advance the work of construc- tion. We are tired of the Government's dilatorincss in a matter so deeply con- nected with the commerce and the best interests of the country. They were to have placed the engineer’s report on the practicability and cont of the work, to- gcthcr with» its advantages, before the public; but, if thcy'have, there are but few who have seen it. We would like them to come frankly outwith the in- formation they have gained and the course they intend to follow. This would be more manly than to dally with the residents of Peter-borough as if they were. to take their advice whether to go on with the canal or not. We suspect that. those who are anxious that some- thing be done either for or'against the canal will take measures to compel the Government to show its hand They will bear but little more tantilizing on this subject. and will regard the sitting of-commissioncrs a. I played-out farce -â€"a sly means -of‘ warding some of‘ their prominent supporters. The con- struction of the canal as a great. public work in the interest of the country is Y North Verulam.
