Ellsworth Improvements.

In looking over our village we notice quite
an array Of new buildings, and other i'm
rr vemen;s which mark our progress for
lSJ2. We have all been so much occupied
in war matters, IN filling the ranks OF the
Union army, and in procuring all the little
articles, which make for their comfort and
convenience, and in helping swell the almost
universal cry o. hard times that but little
time has OF could be spared t. note the eYi-
dcnces Of th:lft ali around us. We, n in.
sneetion, were almost surprised at the many
changes aud improvements in our midst
We Will desi- nate some of them.
James H. Chamberlain Esq has finished :
this Summer his elegant residence commcnc'
ed L..t. On tile corner Of School and Maine
Streets, pattiag up a Stable aud completing
his oat buildings. This is a prominent polat
Of interest, as the style Of the luadlns is
new for here, as also Is the style Of painting
&c. 1t is altogether an elegant residence
and las the appearance Of beng planned
throusho before its enhancement. The
most Of our buildings seem to have been
erected, in yearly ins,al!ments and without
any regard to the original plan, il there ever
was one.
F. 4. Dalton las also erected an elegant
residence this season. and competed 1t
throughout. 1t is of the cottage style, but
large enough to look imposing, comfortable
and home Ike. 1t makes a fine addition to
Maine Street residences.
S. W. Perkins has built him a fno house
on Hancock street. and 50 far complete 1t.
MS t. have it nearly ready for occupancy
The style Of this house is quite diierent from
any other in town 1t makes neat appear
ance, and is crei, to the designer and
owner.
On Pine Street, Geo. W. GJldins has
erected, in the short time of three months, a
commodious house and novel into it. The
appearance Of this dwelling is that of COM
modiousness, or roomy. 1t is fine addition
to the street.
Still farther up on Pine Street, Charles j.
Perry has neat cottage nearly completed
with all the outbuildings Re, u make a
finely arranged residence.
We do not recoleet. at this time, of any
more new dwelling houses. bat there has been
large amount Of repairing, throughout the
sumner.

in addition to his already extensive accommo-
dations, for the eonperdge business Mr..
Timer. we are pleased to say. has been doing
a good business all through the season. His
orders for goods in lis line such as pals, bar
rels, and coopers stock, have exceeded IN
ability to supply. In addition to this, he
has had 50 much business at his Touring
mill, that the mil has been kept running
night and day for while.
Messrs Albert Smith & 4 l.. Cushman
have fitted up the old Foundry building and
put in machinery for the manufacture OF
packing boxes. They will keep employed eig
or ten hands. This is new branch of busl-
ness here, and a valuable addition to II. as
it gives employment to class Of persons
that would not find employment at the
mills. and uses up much lumber that hereto
fore has not been considered valuable.
Messrs John True & Hamilton Joy, have
erected a large mill on Union river. about a
mile from the village, for the manufacture
OF slaves. shingles, boxes dc. These gentle
men have made a good beginning, having a
good site, good large building, and have
put in water wheel that is the largest on
the river. Phey will he ready for operation
in lew weeks.
We noticed the launching Of tso vessels
