********************************************* The Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY January 3-1865 Central Park. The Central Park, in the city of New York, is approaching completion. Its management has been fortunate enough to secure the cordial support of the people of the city, and the results already developed have been such as to commend it to the regard of its citizens of all parts of the State. The beauties it displays, which are to be increased, indicate for it a marked influence upon the health and pleasure of the people of the city, and that it will be widely useful to the whole country for example and instruction in all the arts that are so well illustrated in its program. * * submitted by Linda Schmidt
