REWorkmen are new busy IN completing
the front Of F. G. Franciscus's establishment,
and it viii soon present handsome appear
ance. The inside has also been fitted mp
with glass cases, which present the large
stock of Hardware, Cutlery, and other goods
In much better style than the old shelf. His
stock Of Cutlery is one of the best to be found
in the country, and those desirous of procu-
ring pen, pocket, or table knives, or any
thing bearing relation to either, are recon-
mended to examine his assortment.
R~N. j. RudisiIl, who has just returned
from the city with a large stock of Spring
and Summer Hats, for men, boys, and chill
dren, has removed his shelves and counters
and substituted therefor large cases, with
plate glass fronts, which enable the visitor TO
examine the entire stock at glance. Such
improvements cost something but more than
compensate the dealer in goods by preserving
his stock.
LOOK OUT FOR THE NEW RAiLRoAD.-A corps
Of engineers yesterday commenced making
survey of the proposed railroad from Lewis
town to Bellefonte. The party started at the
railroad across the river, and yesterday after
noon were in Water street working their way
nsrthward. Once out of town, they viii
probably make rapid headway towards the
Seven Mountains, where we suppose the tug
of war between Science and Nature will be-
gin.
WEATHER.-The weather continues cold
and stormy, with yesterday occasional snow
squalls, rendering the season about as unplea-
SAINT as a scolding wife or nineteen grabbed
children in one family.
