Basford is on high ground west of
the depot aud embraces a whole

far away from his place Of business
to suit him. Mr., Arthur IS nearer,
only one block from the public

An Albany oorrespoudrt to the
Monroe Sentinel says:
1t is safe to estimate that not less
than five thousand dollars worth of
pearls have been raked ont of the
river in this vicinity within the past
four weeks. S1me of the specimens
obtained have been valued as high
rs $3.50 each. Numerous shipments
have been made TO New y Nork trims,
who pronounce them Of the first
water. The only trouble 50 far has
been that they could not get them
fast enough to supply the demand.
The rage is for Sugar River pearls,
which for beauty and adornmeut,
lustrous aud highly oolored pearls
are most admired, and command
higher values than the more com
mon satin white pearls which have
been held as heirloou's from geuer-
alton to generation.
