THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The Plant Will be Working by March Pint. Just as we go to press we , learn that our enterprising townsman, B. F. Fergusoq has closed negotiations with a Chicago honse for putting in an electric light plant and work will begin at once, and it is expected that the lights will be in working ordfer by March Ist. The celebrated Thomas-Houston electric light system is to be used, and Mr. Ferguson has shown good judgment in selecting a system which he has good reason to believe the best, although commonly regarded as the highest priced. The people of Rensselaer, who are seldom wanting in enterprise and public spirit, are to be congratulated on being among the very first in the state, for a town of its size, in securing the great advantages of an electric light sys-tem-advantages which we shall refer to more at length, in afntnre article.
