 -ssThe Real Mrs. Johnson's Min- l strels" will appear in Odd Fellows
 Hall this, Friday, afternoon al $50
 o'clock. The company has not appear cd in this city for number of years, 1 1 and some new faces will be seen in the 1 grande ensemble, but the show is the
 best in many seasons. Be sure and sec
 "The Real Thing" playlet which l concludes the entertainment. All la- | dies are invited. The proceeds will be
 devoted to the repairs at the Old Gem- etery. Monday morning citizens on Elm street witnessed daring feat that few
 would take the risk for money or even to save life. Joseph Loiselle was the hero and successfully accomplished a feat that seemed almost impossible without serious injury. A horse and carriage that had been hitehed near the store of the Church Clothing company broke loose from fright at hand truck passing in front of it on the side walk, and went dashing up Elm at a
 rushing pace. Loiselle, who works in Pray's meat market, was standing in the street, saw the on-coming frighten- ed horse, and prepared himself to meet it, and as it reached him made leap l and caught the horse around the neck | and managed to gel hold of the bits as it wildly raced along, and thus hung to 1 the frightened animal until he brought |
 it to standstill Some of the witness | es anxiously regarded the bold daring 1 fearing tragedy, and were glad to be l able to compliment him on his daring l deed. We learn on good authority that a | manufacturing concern, with capital Ol 9ob,oNV, IOiulCu Oy outoluS PuihA~'f 1 is likely to locate in the Armory build ing by the first of May. We are glad to know that Mir. Hammond has been |
 able to rent his building so readily. We last year gave list of the new indus tries that have been successfully estab- l lished in this city within the past p | years, and they exceeded in number all 1 that had been established since the | foundation of the town, and an impor-
 tant part of the increase can safely be l credited to the direct and indirect par
 ticipation of MT. Hammond. In the | same period larger proportion still, oi
 the attractive dwellings of the city, | have been erected. MT. E. NJ. Arnold, ! who has not been a resident of the city ! but few years, has had erected with l those now being erected, nearly doz- ! en very handsome and good sized dwell | ings. In addition to these he has put | up two large green houses and an | immense barn. Altogether, giving | large omount of employment to our re-
 sident mechanics. We put these two | incidents together to show how con-
 tinuously our city has grown and pros-
 pered within comparatively afew years | as no other place of the same size in the
 State has done.
 Recently we made visit to the | East Side Greenhouse, on Farrow street,
 and found it still in its winter habiii-
 ments. Both the greenhouses-ground
 floors and basements-had every inch l of space filled to the uttermost with | potted flowers, many of them in full
 bloom, and garden plants. The inn
 mensity of the sight was fairly bewil-
 dering. The owner, MT. E.. NJ. Arnold,
 happened to be on the premises at the time, and conducted us through the i greenhouses, and his explanations . made our bewilderment disappear as
 to how the immense stocks of flower { and other plants were to be disposed f of. lie said that no matter how much [ was taken away the spaces would be
 reiilIed. A large amount of what we 1 saw was for next years market, and I another portion would be sci out in the { garden as soon as the ground WAS safe
 ly warm enough To our suggestion i that so many would be attracted 10 his | green house, that 1t must be annoying
 Not at all, he said, he was glad 10 have
