chase was concluded ON very reasonable
terms. and yesterday the Board received
a duly executed deed from the grantors,

sideration being $4,000. The nne
substantial stone hotel building on

No similar establishment will DO al

building. for the prisoners and prison
purposes. and the Warden and family
will occupy much more agreeable and
appropriate quarters. The title to the
premises Is perfect. and the purchase a
most advantageous and judicious one.
