fdsto IN Building.

While We believe Lcwisburg Justly
bears the palm from its neighboring towns
In respect to the regularity and beauty of
its streets, and the comfort and durability
Of its dwellings, the latter arc open to the
objection Of too much uniformity or same
cess of rAngement and appearance. There
are many pleasing exceptions to this gene
ral charge, it is true, for all do not build
spon line with the street, nor copy every
error they may fiud among their neighbo-
ring dwellings. Some Of our houses seem
70 have grown up hap-hazard, or to have
been plsnned by Accident. Among our
latest improvements, are the three homes
prepared by DR.. Ma!com, Prof Bliss, and
Prof James, on the new street yet to be
opened from Third (or Church, street to
the University buildings. These dwellings
differ from each other materially, and yet
e.ch have superior comfort, utility, or
economy displayed in some point. Their
variety will add not little to the general
asiraetirencss they will impart to the
neighborkood.
We recommend no particular model or
plan, but we do urge all who contemplate
building hereafter, to study and mature
cell the location, size, material, divisions,
fnish, and evon the color of the building
Comfort, durability, and economy are all
aided by careful iore,hought. Security
against fire and dampness-good draft and
,cntiiaiion-are all-important points for
health and comfort and little care, and
. little assistance from an architect, will
often save much expense and discomfort
in preparing home for family.

The Convention.

We give today the proceedings of the Demo
cratic Convention including the Resolutions which
we were unable to get for our Extra on Thursday.
The name Of 3Ir Mitchell was withdrawn after
the passage of the Resolutions, and not before, as
our Extra stated, and that of Mr. Eastman inme
diately after the first vote which followed their
adoption.
Il was very evident, at the outset, that major
i,y of the delegates intended to smother every at
tempt at anything like declaration of principles,
or the passage of Resolutions upon the great Issue
before the people. But there were few fearless,
independent in the Convention who were de-
termined they should face the music. and who sue
ceedcd after much shrewd management in getting
the Resolutions before the Convention, and then
BY calling for the ayes and noes, compelled each
delegate 10 show his hand. How far they will
succeed in forcing the masses of their party into
the support OF the measures OF Pierce, Douglas &
Co, and induce them 10 vote for Otis Hoyt for
Congress. thereby signfying their approval OF the
principles of the Resolutions remains to be seen.
But we do not believe any stratagem they can
resort to will win The peopIe-the reliance, the
virtue ard hope of the Nation-are awake, and
