Mrs. Hetty Green has loaned 81 900 900
to the city of New York and will probably
loan as much more this week. She gets in
terest at two per cent, which is cheaper
than the city can borrow in Wall street,

Michael Conway, the hag-man of the
Boston * Maine road near the passenger
station, who has been identifying a plot of
ground near the depot by landscape gar
dening, has been employed by the road to
keep the larger park near the Charestown
