PLYMOUTH.

If Plymouth has got so large an area OF
marsh, she has also large area of excel.
lent land quite new aud productive. The
Topper farm and neighbOrhood presents
some of the best farm lands. Judge Par.
sons has farm adjoining the Topper farm
which not only lies handsomely but is OF
superior soil. The Judge, it seems, owns
considerable land in that neighbOrhoOd,
embracing couple of acres of tImberland
the best to be found in the township.
As is commonly the case, there is ten
delcy to center in the neighborhood of the
railroad station, and several new houses,
which have been heretofore noticed, are
going up on the east and west road that
crosses the track at the station. The road
is pleasant one, and its advantages will
be increased as improvement and settle
ment progress.
John Topper has his cellar dug near
the site Of the old house, recently destroy
ed, and the material for the foundation on
hand for the basement walls. He will
soon reinstate himself and family in a
new house, with a pleasant location, and
surrounded by 100 acre farm of superior
land. There is perhaps no farm Of so good
heart and which lies so handsomely as that
of Levi Blakeslee.
