To this end. he recently purchased the mansion now occu- pied by Mir Hollister on North street, and will remove his family here in the spring. His old acquaintainees most cordially welcome him back 10 his native town.
 Mir Colt has been for eight or ten years the Cashier of the Phoenix Branch Bank, and as such has secured the confidence of the entire community, and it is matter of graduation that the withdrawal of the old Bank does not take from us so valuable a citizen.
