We assure our friends of the press, and others,
that we are profoundly grateful for the many ex-
pressions of sympathy manifested by them in our
behalf on account of the recent loss which we
sustained by fire. Not only has the State press,
as general thing, spoken words of kindness and
ENCOURAGEMENT, but we have received many let
ters from gentlemen in private life containing ex-
pressions of regret at loss and bidding us
cheer up and confde in Providence and generous
and appreciative public to make all we'll again
Gold is desirable for the comforts it procures,
and that by it's possession may contribute to
the happiness of Others but the unselfsh friend
ship of the good and virtuous and the approval 81
an intelligent public are treasures far more de-
srable and more laboriously to be sought after
than that worldly treasure which csEfses oftener
than it blesses
Though the loss sustained by the recent ca
lamty was severe, for one in condition, we
assure our friends that we have never been de-
pressed for mopr6nt in consequence, and we are
determined that our patrons at least shall not SUIT
fer on az&ount of it. 1t will only be necessary
that we increase our zeal and redouble our exer-
tions and, if not overtallen by other and more
dire calamities, all will soon be well, and in a
year or two we shall hardly recollect that fire
ever occurred.
We assure our friends that their kindly sympa-
thies in our behalf will be gratefully remembered
while our reason maintains its individuality and
mower.

In an old town like this, where there are so many
dilapdated houses and fences that need repairing,
we ought to be able to see new improvements gong
up at almost every point Instead thereof, however.
in passing over our old town only occasional
ly greeted with the inviting appearance of newly
erected masonry and e0rpentry and only now and
then olfactoIies RECALLED with the smell of
paint This tardiness and Indifference to the
elegance, beauty and comfort of place, on the
part of citizens, is, however gradually subsdng,
and constant gradual increase in the spirit of
teiprse and reform perceptibe to the most casual
observer and now, since the erection of Howard &
Cos splendid steam mill in addition that of
Mr. r. N Tayors, before in operation, with brick
factory in the corporation, citizens no longer
have any and it is to be hoped the progress
in this particular will be much rapid and gen
eral
That such spirit is being walked up among us, it
is only necessary to call attention to the elegant
of private residences recently erected by A. T. Jer-
kins, Esq, the Railroad Depot, furnishing as
they do homes for half dozen families, and
at the same time, an ornament to the town little
further down we are pleased with the new and spa
addition which Mr.. conductor Hancock is put
ting his private residence. Still further we
come to admire the beauty and taste displayed in
the arrangements of the fence and front grounds
of the Presbyterian church lot, at the corner of
which stands DR.. Hooker's and elegant Office
displaying, by its external appearance and internal
arrangement a combination of both architectural
skill and a just conception of what constitutes ease
and comfort. In the sam> neighborhood we find DIR.
Chapman adding and valuable improvements
to his premises and last, but not least can but
admire the taste manifested by Geo. S. Stevenson,
Esq, in the retting of his dwelling and the erection
of his neat law Office near the public square on
