We would advise those Of our farmers who are
dissatisfied with their prospects of success. and
waiting only for an opportunity to sell out, ere re.
moving west, to take morning stroll 10 Ches,nn,
HiIl-and witness the improvements which have
there taken place. To look at the new buildings
recently erected by Messrs. Ford, Law. and Morse
especially the new barn of Mr.. Law. l, tells its
own story "a tale Of patient Industry, good MANAGE
ment, and well regulated economy. There is no
more cheering sigh It in this town than his neat.
convenient. and tastefu!ly arranged out bar and
stables, and when compared with the miserable
structure tina, stood on the same site few years
since. crumbling to decay. leaning both ways from
the hill top as if hesitating which way TO fall, one
turns with pride to the owner, ready 10 grasp the
horny hand, which gives dignity to labor, and
shows that the spiri, of those men,
.sWho hewed the dark old woods away,
And gave the virg in fields TO the day."
has not died out among Us. grown eRsminate
fled to the more luxuriant and easily cultivated
fields Of the West
Since the establishment OF public baths, to the
east of the Mansion House, has become fixed
fact, we would invite the attention of the select
men of the town, to the inconvenient size OF the
bathing tub, in fact it is SO short that those
brought thither to be packed, have to be twisted
and contracted into most uncouth and inconvenent
superintendent to have charge Of the same, lest
some officious servants of good morals among US,
who make night hideous with their shouts over
the poor unfortunate, degree more inebriated
than themselves, shall fall in and be drowned
And furthermore, that they see that the trough is
cleared out after the operation for even the dogs
that formerly frequened the place, reject the
water, made puird by the infusion of old clothes
poor rum, and filthy flesh and blood.
ltis pleasant sight to perceive the long line
young trees, which are growing most thrifty
in the North Street. A few years hence and
many Of the old patriarch eIms Of the village win
have yielded to the rude handling of time, tho
younger ones will be just in time, and as they
stretch ns,their branches. we shall scarcely per
ceive the absence Of the old friends. Will som,
of the property owners who have been thus carefi
to improve the immediate vicinity of their own
d"orsIs, cast an occasional glance at the negleq
ed, glazing, sun exposed, school-house roof, TINT
disgraces west street; building which should
be converted into sheds for COW house. WIN
not some one do something to improve this H.
cinity! Or must the bare common in front, and
the filthy slaughter house and stables is the rear
and vile grosgery the side, impregnate not aIone
the atmosphere Of the vicinity, but the big hearts
of the little children, who there daily assemble.
One graceful elm, stretching it's broad branches
a'hwart ,hatgIoomy roof, where the orioles should
swing their nests, and the robbins sing in tby
summer day. would do more to coun,erbalanc,,
the evils Of The neighborhood, more to soften NE
minds of the children, than hundred lectures on
moral philosophy. r
We are Informed that the vicinity Of the Lake
has been greatly improved, that walks have been
laid out, and ride along the beach opened. We
promise ourselves the pleasure of improving them
the first fine day, and to give our subscribers the
benefit Of the observations in our next issue.
