tifnl fix in regard to their old market house A ma
iority in city meeting few weeks ago. wishing to sc:
rid of the "od nuisance ordered it to be sold to the
highest bidder. and the ground on which it stands
levcled off and otherwise improved. Accordingly
on the 2lst ult it was knocked of to Squire Mix for
the sum OF AS dollars. The Herald states that it
has been discovered since the sale that the land on
which the market stands is not the property of the
city, but now revcrs to the original propretors of
the soil. Thus Squire Mix-always cunning old
fox-has got possession Of property which pays an
annual rent OF 200 dollars for l45 dollars and refu
see to remove it Brother Woodward who has shed
many tears over the intended destruction of the time
honored stalls whence for forty years he has obtained
his daily supply of IA. things, seems to be in excel
lent spirits since the new discovery in regard to the
right to the soil. Long life to the old markehouse!
