Ought we not to have every (lead tree cut down within reach of the road? For at least two good reasons: 1stI the law requires it. 2nd It is just like setting a dead-fall on the pub lie highway to catch and kill. all passing by. It would be very wrong to kill a human in this way, or even a horse or ox. If this will not touch the heart of the overseers and hands,there is soniething in connection that will toich the most tender cord, i. e. we would have to pay the damage thus inflicted if the County should be sued. It is possible for 20 or more persons to be kille:1 within a year. From five to ten thousand dollars damage per head would go I a little below the bottom of the heart, and purse too. A jury gave a family $6,500 for a member kill edl on the Air Line RI. R., a fewv dlays agoA Let us remember this. Some of the gullies andl bridges are almost as dangerous as the trees. The scientist tells us if we cut dlown the timber we will have no rain, but I am willing to risk falling:', few dleadi ones at least, and a little brush or limbs cut from over the roads.
