1t is said - be settled that Col. |
Tracy is not to remain in the postoffice, |
It's matter that occasions much regr t. |
No one thinks of impuiing any inter,
tiOnal wrong to him in his management
of the office, and the vast majority of
the patrons of the office have signilied
their desire for his retention. This
now being out of the question, a large
number are in favor of w. S. Goodrich
for the place. His fitness is conced.
ed by all, while his circumstances
would cause him TO give his own undi.

w. ID. Lane has commenced on
quite an extensive scale his gardening
and seed business. He has disposed OF
six hundred pounds of beet seed, and
of various other vegetable seed more
than we can remember. In his green
house he has now over fourteen thous.
and tomato plants of the various stand
ard kinds, such as Trophy, General
Grant, Paragon, ETC., of all sizes from
those only recently started up to fine
large plants for those who want TO |
start their garden early, and affords the |
best opportunity we know of for OBJ
Gaining plants nicely rooted and fresh |
for setting ont. In addition he has a |
large supply of cauliflower plants, of
which he seems to make speciality. At |
ter he gets his acres all seeded with the |
numerous vegetables he raises, his place |
will be worth visiting to those not ac-
customed to seeing them raised on such |
a scale. We shall probably give some
items in regard to his business after the |
the season is further advanced. Mean.
while those in want of Young tomato
and other plants will know where to
obtain them. A sample of his tomato |
plants can be seen at this office.
The Boston Evening Transcript of
April IS gives the following report of
the concert recently announced by
Master Milo Benedict.
Master Milo Benedict, the youthful

master. But careful ear can plainly
detect the Independent musical thought.
To not one of the composers works
he performed did the gifted boy
fail TO do justice. His Valse Capricel

in response to an encore, he played |
the E-fiat nocturne of Chopin. The |
