Shade Trees.
We presume there is no town in this State
where, within the past tlyiee years, a greater
number of shade trees have been set along the
highways, than in Norwalk, and no one can
adequately realize the beauty these shades
will impart in the short space of three years
to cgme, if they are properly cared for. In
this view we wish to utter a word of protest
against the thoughtless.'nay, almost crimina
carelessness of many persons in tying their
horses to these young trees. We have suffered
severely in this respect, and our experience is
only that of others. In all quarters of the
town may be seen the bodies of these beauti-
l'iil and inviting shades torn and defaced by
the teeth of some restless horse which a
thoiightlcss owner has hitched thereto. May
we not hope for a general reform in this mat-
ter. .M¢mc-_1/ cannot replace or make good a
thi-ifty growing tree thus spoiled, and we trust
every citizen of the town who sees a horse
hitched to a tree, will consider himselfa com-
mittee empowered with authotity to remove
the animal to the nearest fence or post. It is
a shame to see the labor of years thus wanton-
ly destroyed

fir The several religious societies have so
arianged their hours of worship on the Sab-
bath, that all our Divines may be heard the
same day by the same individual. The Epis-
copal, Congregutional and Baptist Churches
hold their morning services as heretofore;
the Baptist in the afternoon at 2, the Episco-
pal at 5, and the Congregational at 7l o’clock.
This town has probably never enjoyed the
ministrations of so able and popular Divines
as at present—a fact that is certainly notice-
able in the increased attendance at all our
Churches.

fl‘ The John Hart Benefit Excursion,
which had been so long on the tapis, finally
came off on Tuesday night last. Amore beau‘
tifiil evening, or more brilliant moon never
lent its golden mcllowness to enchant the
world. A very pleasant company of about
150 persons, ventured to enjoy the entgi'tain-
ment, thus deprivin. the affair of the aspects
of much of a benefit to the worthy owners of
the Boat. Illeclenuon, of the City Island
House, did his best to please, and got up a re-
past that would h ave baffled the appetite of
the most pampered Epicure, and we regret
that, like the owners of the Hart, he had to
find his greatest reward in the appreciation
of those who partook of his sumptuous feast.
We doubt not that the evidences furnished by
‘our friend Van Zandt on the occasion were of
the most satisfactory character,---who, al-
though just recovered from a severe blood-let
ting ordeal, was enabled to say with our poor
friend Biirrall, that “ although he had suffered
miich,he must thank God for a good appe-
tite.” There is nothing like it, especially
when McClcnuon spreads the Board, and we
shall hereafter commend all hungry men to
his kind hospitalities.
We learn that a movement is on foot to
raise a fund by subscription from parties
choosing to participate, with which to charter
the Hart for another “good time” on Monday
Evening. the 3d of August, when moon and
tide will again be propitious.

Dr. Hague delivered the discourse. The

tion froni the Rev. Dr. \Velch. The line
was then formed and marched to the
cemetery, preceded by two platoons of uni-
formed police under the command of Chief
Morgan. The procession was a most im-
posing one; Major General Wool coin-
manded. The hearse was drawn by four
white horses. The mourners were follow-
ed by carriages containing Messrs. Van
Bureii, Pierce, Hunt, King, Seward, Pres-
ton King, N. Y. Banks, &c. These
were followed by the Fire Department,
the Free Masons, and other societies.——
The procession took an hour and a half to

of music in it. The day was fine, and

EXTRACT FROM THE Lnrrun or an AME-
nic.-i.~i Lanv AT PAuis.——“ Our country-
_men must not snub Louis Napoleon. He
keeps Paris as sweet as aunt ; the streets,
lanes and by-ways are as neat as a
Quakei-’s floor, and I only wish he could
go to New York and exercise unlimited
sway for two or three years, until the
horrors of filth and misrule are done away
with. I would not care if all the pens,
ink and paper, and every book in the
place were underloek andf key, if this
was necessary for the accomplishment of
this same restoration to order. The
French must hare a. strong iron will to
keep them in order, and I’ve not one
grain of faith in them. As a lady said
to me lately, “ I like the bayonetts, and
I glory in seeing men made to do what is
for the animal good and health of all.”—
So, long live Louis Napoleon, and may
his shodow and power never be less while
he employs this power with such effect
for the coinmou good of the nation.”

tic, and the ports of Havre, Bremen,
Hamburg, Southampton, London, Liver-

fifty-one. Of these only seventeen have
pa-:ldle-wheels ; all the others, thirty four
are screw propellers with iron hulls. Not
one of these propellers is of American
build. Yet they are the most economical of
steamsliips ; their required steam power
being small, their freight capacity com-
paratively large, their passages regular
and quick, and their reputation for safety
well established. With respect to econo-
my of construction, it appears that the
original cost of paddle-wheel steamers,
when fit for sea, is about £5 95 per tun
greater than that of screw steamers, and
that their current expences for the year
are about £8 per tun more than those of
screw vessels. At the same time the
average measure for cargo for screw steam-
ers is three-fourths of‘ a. tun for each tun
