A Ribs ASour TowE.--To vary the monot-
cny Of our pedestrian excursions about town,
We yesterday ehssrfully accepted The iavita-
ticn Of our friend, Hosmer, and taking seat
in his sasy buggy, behind sip-sop horse, "
proceeded 70 survey the improvements and
80 the sights.
We first went down Fifth street to the low
sr Lsvss. We believe our last professional
visit to this region occurred some two years
ago. whsn things we're just little brighter
and busisr than 1t the present time. Some
ehangss hays occurred since then. Real es-
tate il not qxits 30 high, in one respect, bat
people hod il necessary to make il higher in
another way. And therefore, Msssrs. Cleg-
horn / Bstty, 10 laying the foundation Of
their Pork House, have taken good care to
get above high water mark. They are build
ing on an immense sesle, aud will be ready
for operations In few weeks. We judge
from present appearances that, - Mr.. Batty
says, they viii have about the largest, most
complete and convsnieat pork house on the
river.
Frou their ho.se ~ went up the hollow
to Godman'a Pork House. Mr.. Goldman il
making large additions TO the house which
he purchased Of Mr.. Bassy, and viii also
have . eonplsse establishments. Adding these
two new houses 70 thoss Of Patterson 4
Timbsrnan snd AsCrsa 4 Co., Keokuk will
be better furnished In this linz than any city
in the West.
We continued our trip up tho hollow, NO.
ting the wild scenery Of the gorge, and sew
srai atone quarries, where men we're getting
out exoeilsss lime stone for building.
We have not time, at present, TO remark
upon other items which We noticed, except
the TAnDery. Having heard shas this con.
oern had slrsady finished up : lot Of leather,
" vsnt in and examined it. Mr.. Amsdsn
showed " about the establishment, and sx-
hibitsd specimens OF leather made in sir
weeks. 1t looked to N to be frst rate, and
We we're Surprised ut its strength and tough.
