In many places daily calls {rom the cartsof the butcher and the grocer, lighten the labors of the housekeeper in great decree. Should the old market, witi its immense variety, ite curious assemblae of all sorts of things, trom mosses and wild flowers of the woods, to the confectionery of the baker; with its beef and pork, its fish and fowl, its vegetables and dry goods; should all these things leave their peesent iocal habitation, and become a memory only amonzst the things of the past, let us hope that the corner rocery will not be the onl: cer’s cart will be an established convenience in our midst. “ —___—— REAL EsTATR Saies.—By Thomas E.
