There are excellent locations here for Man.
ufacturing enterprise the water power being
of the first order; while the facilities for
transportation by the D. & Fl. Canal, and the
great Erie rail road link us with the Seaboard
and the western world. The population Of
our Village, numbers twenty ive.hundred,
and men of different occupation, are estab-
llshing themselves among us. A number of
large and elegant bulldogs are now being e.
rected, and the splendid HOTEL of Mr.. Har-
vey c. Nash is completed adding very much
to the appearance Of our place.
Faithfully Yours. R.
