ClfV Hall Work.

The work about the new City Hall is
now rapidly coming 10 an end.
The dozen or more carpenters who have
been working through the building put
ting In the sash are so nearly through
that Job that they are making the floors.
These have been delayed for the lack of
lumber.
Last week a representative Of a large
firm in the West was here.
He was looking after his contract for
the ornamental iron work on the ground
stairway and on the column In the cor
ridor. He was much pleased with the
modelling work of the home firm OF
decorators in plaster OF Paris, Messrs.
Davis & Delhaye, and Immediately he
made contract with them TO furnish
the models for the iron ornaments of the
building.
The firm commenced the work at once.
There is small doubt, considering the
rapidity with which the work on the
City Hall is being pushed. Of its readiness
for occupancy by June next.

The hfiesinC Druggist.

The account OF the disappearance OF
Morris Bintwanger, the druggist at the
corner OF Fourth and Baker streets, with
woman OF bad character published
exclusively in Sundays Times, created
considerable interest, as Binswanger was
well-known to the trade and was quite
an intelligent and popular young man.
1t is estimated that his debts left UNI
paid will foot up about six hundred dol
lars. mostly due to drug firms. His stock
seized on by one Of his creditors was
OF small value. Nothing further has
been heard Of the clipping parties.

senting facts, and the facts, as far as
they go, were well known at the time.
This horse, Escape, came to Ogdens-
burg, n. Y, and crossed over to Pres

that he had driven him all the way from
Rhode Island. He stood for service,

Lockport, y. Y, said to be of running

of neglect, on an island of but few
acres in extent Just of Adolphustown,
on the coast of the lake. His name was
said to have come from the fact of his
being the only survivor of a voyage
from Europe so severe that all the rest
of the live stock either persisted en- route
or were washed overheard and drowned.
Escape, himself, was reported to have
been once pitched into the ocean, but

to save him. | cannot youch for the
truth of this tale, but am very conf

SCARCITY OF GOOD CARRIAGE
HORSES.

Standardized trotters are quite plen.
ty, but matched pairs and good gentle
mems roadsters are scarce. a subscribe
er in New Jersey, who knows a good
horse, writes: 81 want handsome pair
of readers who can pull either buggy
at three-mnute gait, or a surrey with
four in, at Il ten-mile gait, if desired.
They don't grow on every BUSH"
This recalls recent conversation with
j. l.. Prescott of Pennington, Me-, who
has brought quite number of roadsters
from Franklin county, that State, to
Boston in the past. "'fhirty-five years
ago" said Mr.. Prescott, "when old Eat
on stood in Franklin county, a man could
go out among the farmers and Sbuy a
half dozen good horses from 1872 to 1G
hands high before breakfast. These
horses were goodlookers, square, open
gated trotters, and could show from a
81 to 2 40 clip. They were just such
horses as are wanted in the Boston mar
ket today. They are as scarce down our
way as hens teeth
Judging from what can be gathered
from other sections the conditions are
the same all over New England. Ever
since the cry, breed only from standard
bred animals, was raised the majority of
breeders have been scrambling to get
standard stock, and in too many cases
have secured animals for breeding pur-
poses sadly deficient in those essential
qualities valuable for general use. Breed
ers who aim for quality, symmetry of
form and style, combined with size, do
cility and good road qualities, will find
the raising of horses profitable. There
are plenty of standard bred mares and
stations which possess these attributes
and are worthy of patronage. Those
which do not had better be given a
wide berth by the average farmer. Let
fancy breeders who have plenty of mon
ey have them.-[Ex.
