In your issue of Saturday, I notice some statements made by ‘‘Citizen,” which are so utterly false that I simply write to con- tradict them, believing with Carlyle, ‘‘That a liar should be trampled on and extin- guished wherever found.”

wish to produce good fruit in abundance, you must attend to your trees in the man- ner recommended, and which the experi- ence of Nova Scotian fruit growers has shown to be beneficial. Plum trees, which blossom late, generally produce good crops.

Every farmer, no matter how small his farm, should endeavor to beautify it and enhance its value by bringing te perfection a choice orchard. It shows taste and re- finement of mind, it more than repays the outlay, it is an inducement to the beys to remain on the farm, and it adds to the beauty of the country. What is more lovely or a better source of justifiable pride than a good, well-kept farm, with a neat cottage embowered amid a miniature forest of trees, white and fragrant with spring blossoms, or richly iaden with luscious autumn fruit? There is no farmer so poor that he cannot plant a few trees each year and the wonder is that more do not relieve the barreness of their farm residences by so doing.

It is sincerely to be hoped that Arbor Day will become an established institution in Charlottetown, and that year by year tree planting will be attended to, until it shall be made a city of loveliness. Char- lottetown possesses just as fine natural surroundings as any of the neighboring cities. Fredericton owes its great beauty to the trees that ornament its streets and squares. Savannah, Charleston, and other southern cities, would be nothing more than many other cities in point of attrac- tiveness were it not for their shade trees; and there is no apparent reason why Char- lottetown should not, in the course of a few years, rival them. A comparatively smal] yearly outlay of time and money would make Queen Square a magnificent promen-

Thet is poor accommodation especially at this season of the yéar, when horses are busy, the roads bad, and the means of travelling difficult. If the steamer would make a retnrn trip on the day she calls, she would get more freight and passen- gers. Much dissatisfaction is expressed.

A daily mail is very badly needed. There is a mail here but three times a week, and in many places, in the Island, where less business is done, there is a daily mail. It causes many disadvantages. For instance : our business men and farmers require it. It would not cause much additional ex- pense, and as the contract for carrying the maiis from Mill View tu V. R. Bridge is now being tendered for, it is probably the proper time to see to it.
