THE Grange of Milford is receiving
additions to its membership this
spring. BY combining orders,its mem-
bers have been able to purchase Maine
grown white potatoes for seed at fairly
moderate rates-in comparison with
prices asked in New York and Phila-
delphia.
AT the Chapel on next Sunday,the
Will be led by eornet. As
this is the last rehearsal of the Easter

THE neat little trimming store Of
Miss Alice Vineyard in Jumps Row,
near Walnut-st Bridge, is not only
coy, but is filled with pretty and

in kid gloves, form large part of the
attractive articles.
THE comfort and safety of Dorsey
Hall would be greatly enhanced ifthe
rickety stoves and coal oil lamps were

ranged to open outward, the present
arrangement is death trap in case
any excitement should occur.

desiderqtum that city stores offer an
the added advantage of being allowe'

Why don't some other enterprise
