they will up after their return for another

any one leaving this evening.
If this penny-a-line Young man were TO over
haul the New York directory and strike out
the names of New England men, prominent in
business and in the professions, he would lind
the directory chiefly valuable afterward as
guide to the record of second and third-rate es-
adjustments Beginning with President Ar

ingham. 1t would be as easy to tell him OF

suggest themselves, devoted more space to the
subject than we designed
