adorned with many pleasant residences-a
mark of refinement which has commended
it to those who seek either desirable sum-

| attractions than Brandon in this regard.
| Among the foremost of these establish.
ments Is that of Mr.. S. L. Moulton, To-
| Gated at the head of Park street, one of
the most picturesque spots in the village.
1t was erected during the past season, and
timely finished aud convenient in all of its
| appointments with all modern appurten-
ances and surrounded with barns and out
buildings in accordance with the dwelling
The barns are large, fitted up in the pres
ent style with cupaloes, well adapted for
the keeping of the excellent horses owned
| by Mr.. Moulton. The place is surrounded
with 80 acres of'rch tilable land with
SEINE of the best plats of grass in the state.
The whole establishment is well calculated
| for the residence of a retired gentleman
like Mr. Moulton who desires to take life
in an easy and agreeable way.
