GREELEY STATUE TO BE REPLACED

NEW’ YORK. —Because of the forthcoming celebration of the centenarjrvSF Horace Greeley in February next, and of the consequent interest that attaches to anything that has to do with his memory, people will be glad to know that that statue of him which gave his name to the little square at Broadway and Thirty-third street, New York, which-last spring reported to be lost, has only gone into temporary retirement. By the time the arrangements for the centenary are completed, the statue will be replaced within a few feet of its old site, and the calm face and resposeful figure will once more offer a vivid contrast to the rush and roar amid which it is seated. Some months ago the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad company began the construction of a subway station at the site of the statue. The work called for the removal of the latter and this was done in a single night. i
