part of town. Mr. Newcombe has
learned the use of the windmill and
| reservoir, and has also large tank for
supplying water. for household pur-
poses. He has his grounds thoroughly
piped, and from his two ponds and
large tank he can put water on any
part of his premises. And, by the way,
it will pay anyone well to call and see
Mr.. Newcombe when in want of any
thing in the nursery line. He makes
a 81 ecality of all such nursery stock as
he has found well adapted to this eli
mate, and has a large supply of any
thing in that line which you may want.
