The most remarkable cluster of pears
of this season were yesterday presented

OF the Louise Bonnc de Jersey variety,

That the Court House property is to
be sold, appears to be he well settled
policy of the Board Of Supervisors. In
conversation with capitals who would
like to purchase it, they have expressed
desire to know just what is to be sold.
They want to buy something that has
metes and bounds. They wish the Su.
pervisors to tell the length and breadth
to which they can give title clear.
The advertisement is not definite. 1t
does not tell how many feet front on
Main or Spring street, and whether the
present promenade on each side is in
cluded in the sale and title. With the
facts fully stated they will bid accord
ing to the size Of the lot What is the
size to which title can be sold? That
will make difference of $40, 900 in the
sale OF the property, and that sum saved
would pay for half large lot for a new
site.
