keeper of the Manchester Almshouse 
this week, to succeed the late George 
H. Haskell, and he will start upon his 
duties there Monday. Mr. Paige 
passed in his resignation this week as 
driver of the fire horses, to accept the

pointed him.

caretaker of the Augustus Smith es- 
tate, Proctor street. He was ap- 
pointed driver of the fire horses when 
they were installed four and a half 
years ago.

one looks upon his appointment with 
favor.
