RURAL DISFIGUREMENT. “In this matter of the disfigurement of natural beauty the offender is very rarely a native of the region. It is tho adventurous stranger, who, having no care for the place except for what money ho may make out of it, destroys what is net his own. The fault of the native is too often his apathy under provocation,-Jiis want of proper jealousy for tho beauty mid purity of his neighbourhood. Against every ease of violation some few protest, hut the majority raise no voice; and far too often it is some visitor to the place who calls public attention to its disfigurement. By pointing the way, the. protecting by enactment the regions under its care the local authority can open the eyes of the inhabitants to see beauty and interest which unaided they might never suspect ; and the day when some village petitions to local authority to protect it against such outrage should he a proud day for both petitioners and petitioned.”— “Times” (London).
