G. Hay has acoeptedthe offer made by the Couuoilfor the purohase of the Rosbaoh property on Main and Inkerman streets, also the water lots on Bismarck street, including right of way for water- works, the consideration being $1,500 and a deed of the old agricultural grounds. We think the Council have noted wisely in securing bhfe property, both on ac- count of the reasonable figure at which the purohmse has been made and the de• sirability of the townsecnrinr this prop- erty, situated as it is right in the heart of the town and admirably suited for a market site, town hall, manufactory, or other purpose that it may eventually be utilized for. The material and buildings thereon go with the purohase. It is Mr. Hay's intention to lay out the old agri- cultural grounds into building lots and offer them for sato. As they are among in the finest building sites in town, he will • y doubtless find ready sale for some of f them at least.—Standard, T E BRUSSELS POST Peter P.
