seven thousand yards of "hard pan" in thirty days.  He finished the
work in just twenty days.  Mr. Noe made the beautiful and extensive
improvements upon the grounds of W. T. Garner, on Staten Island.  He
then came West, taking contracts and handling stock.  He bought land
in Greene County, and has one of the best improved farms in this sec-
tion, stocked with the finest breeds of horses, cattle and hogs.  In
politics Mr. Noe is a Democrat.
