Minnie and Grace Murkland go to Mas
sachusetts where they find employment
at remunerative wages, Lila has gone
to Clinton, Minnie Caswell has gone to
Springfield, where she will set type for
the Homestead. Minnie and Grace 60
to Lowell, their former home, where they
find agreeable employment, and a home
among friends. If we were twenty-five

about the matter, but we will wish them
all abundant success.
We publish to-day an advertisement
of the Soluble Pacific Guano. This val
liable fertilizer is becoming more and
more popular from year to year, and
large quantities are used in this vicinity.
An editor is not supposed to know much
about farming, although the great Hor-
ace Greeley used to tell what he knew
about it; but we can say that we raised
a crop of excellent potatoes last year, at
the rate of l40 bushels to the acre, on
dry, sandy, WORKOUT pasture knoll with
out particle of manure, by using a
small quantity of this guano.
The ice cutters did big business last
week, using over 100 hands, some of the
time, and several teams. They put up
an ice-house $50 feet long by an average
of,50 feet in width and 20 feet in height
This house, containing over 1000 cords
which weighs about 1000 tons, is filled,
and large addition is to be put to it
this week. 1t is reported that the cost
of shipping the ice to its market will be
SO ton, and that it will sell for from
z to 10 dollars ton when retailed.
This leaves a pretty good margin. A
large number of men, who would be idle
at this season, are finding work at good
wages. and the enterprise will be quite
an advantage to this town.
