During the Fall our surrounding wooda are visited by men, presumably Vepresentativea from city floriats, who ruthlessly attack our trees, regardless of tbe owner's permission, in order to secure autumn leaves and branches for decorative purposes. We have Be,eD a large automobile truck being loaded Thn limit along this line was probably reached when a week or so ago men and teams entered property at the cor ner of Merrick and Camp Avenues, cut down large trees which suited their fancy, and carted them away. The owner, living out of town, discovering the deed and learning that the same thing was done last year, has made ar¬ rangements to be informed of the next depredations. Such a nerve is as¬ tounding.

Robbers blew up the safe in the new one-story Postoffice at Merrick early Tuesday morning, and aecured about $250 worth of stamps and currency and acattered a liberal quantity of Spanish pepper around the of!ice.
When Poatmaater Zeiner opened the office Tueaday u.orning he diacovered aome horae blanketa lying near the safe. The aafe door was blown across th« room, tbe cash box was gone, and aome debris was littered on the floor. A box of the last night's mail was gone. Registered letters were mias¬ ing and other letters bad been looked over- Investigating Zeiner found that en¬ trance had been effected by sawing a square hole in the rear door with a scroll saw. and knocking the piece out with a sledge hammer. Theh a hand Waa put through and the door opened. A chisel stolen from Ftank Miller's, nearby, waa used to open another door. The scroll saw and sledge hammer were stolen from a blacksmith shop across the street.
Mr. Zeiner telegraphed to Waobing- ton, and to the Long Island Railroad Company for the bloodhounds to be sent. Automobile tracks were-noticed near the Postoffice, and it is thought that tbe robbers used this means of travel.
This is the fourth time the Merrick Postoffice has been broken into in three years. Mr. Zeiner has been in office but two months.
There is no direct clue as to the identity of the robbers, though several suspicious persons were in the village Monday. Prince Moravec Pignatelli D'Aragon, who lives near the Post office, asserted that he aaw three men loitering in front of the office as he was returning from the midnight east- bound train. Before retiring the prince took a stroll ap^ incidentally paased the Postoffice. At tbe time, however, he saw nothing worthy of aaspicion.
It is believed that the same gang figures in all the jobs of this section. Seaford. Rooaevelt und Amityville poatoffices were recently rifled and in all cases the methods used show no difference.

Miaa Mary Haynes, the fifteen-year> old daughter of Harry Haynes, of Whitehouse Avenue, has begun through her father, as guardian, an action for $60,000 damages for injuries claimed to have been sustained August 14, as the result of an accident in Brooklyn.
