Dr.. J. RAMSEY, Of this place, on last Sat
urday, raised the frame work of shed on
his farm, just below town, 10 which raising
we had an "invite" and was numbered
among the "raisers." We saw another
member of the editorial fraternity among
the logs.

ably good success.
The march Of improvement in this place
is still onward ard npward-prelty near
running over people. In taking stroll
through our Town the other day we noticed
several marks of enterprise in the way OF
fencing and building. This speaks we'll for
a place, considering the so much complain
ed OF ahard times" The Hartman brothers
are erecting two handsome frame dwelling
houses in the neighborhood of Rock Street
west Bloomsburg, which will be 10 let when
completed.

most excellent beef; ard few butchers there
are, any where, that kill better cattle than
does MIR. Gaoss. This heller was brought
from Bradford county, by DIR. Henry Bitten

size of this animal, as we have seen many
larger ones, but we would boast of its fat
