A VALUABLE INVENTION j. M. Cur
rier, the undertaken on the corner of Federal
and Temple streets, has recently invented
metallic casket which promises to yield for
tune for some one. The invention consists of
casket which is equal in durability and style of
finish to any which are manufactured, and
which can be sold for less than half the usual
price charged for metallic casket By a pro-
cess known alone to the inventor it is
grained in imitation of black walnut, rosewood,
stone or metal. This work is done SO we'll that
an experienced worker of wood cannot tell the
granting from the natural wood. The best me-
tallic caskets last but few years and cost up
wards of $100. This casket will not cost half
that sum and will last a much longer time.
These caskets can be trimmed as readily as any
and with no more cost, which is great deal to
their advantage. Mr.. Currier is soon to commence
the manufacture of these caskets for the whole
sale trade, and he has already received great
deal of encouragement from undertakers
throughout the state.

A CHANGE William x. Neal ESQ.,, came
to the conclusion the evening of the second
Monday of September last that he would leave
the office of Register of Probate on the first of
January. All those who have had business in
the Probate Court would, if necessary, bear
cheerful testimony to his conspicuous fidelity
and efficiency as an officer. In fact he was as
near model Register as it is possible to be.
Since he has been in the Office, Mr.. Neal has
made an entire index of the records of the court
which are of great value to the county. On
leaving the Registers office, Mr.. Neal will en-
ter the prosperous law firm of Messrs Mat
tocks & Fox as partner. Mr.. Neal was ad
mitted to the Bar several years since and
previous to his election as Register in 1871 was
four years deputy clerk in the Superior Court.
If Mr.. Neal is as successful in his new relation
to the public as he has been efficient as pub
lie official, he can ask nothing better.
