In order 10 avoid an Extra Session, thu the Go

may be SET aside, and that the people might go
into the election BY genera ticket. without re-

Improvement In IIiIlsoor0ugil.
II gives us pleasure TO notice the handsome
improvement recently made in our town by Dr.
s. d. Scheduled. in the erection Of a two story
frame building for his Drug Store. The house
il well arranged for business; and the chaste de-
sign of the building, together with the good taste
Of the painter, Mr.. e. Woods, makes it quite an
ornament to the street. The DR.. intends that
the store shall be furnished in style 10 CORES.
pond with the appearance the building; and
in addition to full supply Of Drugs and Mcdi.
'cines which he,is receiving, he has good selec.
ton Of handsomely bound Books, and other Fan
icy Articles which cannot fail 10 atiact the aiten
ton of visitors. His gold fish, which he keeps
for ornament, are a novelty with us worth see
ling, If one has,no other business at the store.
We wish the DR.. great success, and hope tia
his enterprise will stimulate others 10 make simi
lar Improvements. We should like to see on
little town put on the appearance Of thrift an'
liveliness. The advantage would not lie in ap
pcarance only; il would stimulate into activity
aspint Of industry and energy which seldom
fails to command success, and We might hope err
long 10 see our town vcrglng into degree o
prosperity which il has never before known.
