WE have received a communication, unfortunately crowded out of this issue, treating of the historic landmarks of Cambridge, and deploring their rapid destruction. In connection with this we are sorry to learn that a movement is on foot to cut down those graceful old elms on Brattle Street, which formerly overshadowed the shop of that village smithy whom our Cambridge poet has so sweetly made famous. It is perhaps useless to expect that the influence of professors or students will be effective on an unbridled and Port-pampered government; we can only invoke the aid of the equally unbridled public opinion.
