feels at libertv to set the moun- i
tains on fire, in order to rid him
self of the leaves. Others to
hasten by a few weeks the starting
of the spring pasturage put out
fire in the fall. A great mass of
leaf mould, which would be a
perfect reservoir of the , rainfall,
is thus ruined, valuable timber is
destroyed and the flow of the
streams lessened in - summer and
over-charged into winter torrents.
The statutes are ample in furnish
ing protection against this injury;
but they are not enforced, no one
caring to give information against
the offenders and public opinion
being utterly dead to the destruction-
of our forests, whether in
this or any other way. "I will
not be stripped of my feathers,"
said Bacon when an offer was
made for the woods of ,Gorham
bury that money might be had to
pay the fine of the King's Bench.
That great man would have gone
to jail sooner than part with the
ancient oaks, which he well knew
were to a land what the feathers
are to the bird.
"We know how useless it is to
urge thoughts like these upon
men, who strip a great forest of
bark in order to get their tax
money, deeming themselves own
ers, when they are really trustees
for incoming generations; but
even they may be roused to action
looking towards the suppression
of the fire fiend.
With this in view it has been
suggested to us that if the County
Commissioners would offer a small
reward, say $20, for evidence
sufficient to convict parties setting
fire to the woods that the evil
would be lessened and in time be
abated. This suggestion is from
an excellent citizen, the owner of
8,000. acres of land, a prompt
tax. payer and a man, who looks
farther ahead than his own nose.
"We submit it as we have submit
ted suggestions looking to the
employment of engineers to grade

its adoption; but with perfect faith
