s THE IAPRoyEMENTs.-T borough authorities
have, through their employees, done much, du-
ring the past season, towards the improvement of
our town in comfort and appearance. One thing
particularly deserves our notice and appreciation,
which is. the new and extensive plank walks
constructed in different parts of the borough
there are, however, some few matters which fur
ther deserve attention, and while the days are so
fine we hope they will be attended to.
Some good substantial crossings are much very
much to be desired at various points OH the streets
and especially between I.itzinger and Roberts
corners, and at or near the corners of Capt Muir
ray and Mr. Lohn Dougherty. The alley between
Dr. Lemon and Capt. Murray, as well as the one
between VI. NJ. O'Neill's shop and the property
of Mr. George j. Rodgers, need planking at the
points where they intersect the pavement-wIth
these finishing strokes, and perhaps some few
Others quite as needful as the pavcments to the
Academy and to certain citizens stable, we
might boast of good and continuous walks
WkSTED.-At present, any good steady and
reliable workman, at the business of clock and
watch, coopering, or brick making, could find
We want GOOD watch maker, or none, for
bad watch doctor like bad man doctor, very
soon leaves no time at all. We don't want
knave who will take your .'ticker" on repair,
hang her up, untouched until you call for her
then take her down, look and blow into her, rub
OFF with piece Of buckskn and present her in
stdtu quo for one dollar, warrantcd-not to 90
year. We want good mechanics and we will
patronizc them.
ANOTHER BEAR TAKEN.-A1r. Frederick Ying-
ling of Clearfield Township, whose SUCCESS in
hunting has been brwm for some time past,
caught another large bear, in his bear pen, week
before last, and after viewing his captive for
some time, concluded it was best to shoot him be
fore libcrating-hard time of capitulation, but
the only remedy was to gre and bear.
Mr.. Iingling attacked and killed one of these
animals few years ago, with a large pocket
. knife The black eritter was just about escaping
from pit fall when the encounter took place.
Mr. is built of powerful proportions, and being
man We would as Icfhavc the passionate hug of
one animal as the tother.
Mar OF OUR TowN-AIr Thomas Doran who
has for some time past been engagcdin surveying
and engraving beautiful maps of many of the
towns in our State, proposes, should he receive
subscriptions enough To iststify him, to furnish a
map of our romantic village for the low price of
50. His gentlemanly agent Mr.. B chen has been
in town for some days he has with him some
specimens of Mr.. Dorans' work which are very
neat specimens of workmanship, and which we
know to be very accurate.
