IMPROVEMENTS.

Walnut Streets, is fairly under way.
The foundations are laid, and the
walls are up to the first floor, which
will be several feet above ground.
The main walls are massive, and Of
the most substantial character. The
first tier of joists have been laid. We
noticed one of the cellar or furnace
walls had been slightly damaged by
the late rain, but it can be readily re-
paired, and when the building is fin
ished and the proper cutters on the
street are completed, there will be no
possibility of the water making its
way into the excavations. We notice
Boyd's patent ventilators are being
used in this building, and from
careful examination of them, we are
of the opinion that they are the best
yet invented This school building
when finished, will be an object of
just pride to the citizens of Evans
vile. .r
Johns. McCorkle, one of our dis
tinguished builders, and Mr.. f.. P.
Strong, late of College Hill, Ohio,
have erected spacious carpenter
shop and planning mill, on the corner
of Walnut and Seventh Streets, on
the site of the Picayune Mills, which
will soon be in full blast, and will
cut considerable. figure in the me-
chanical interests of the city.
We notice number of new build
ings erected this season in Hubbard's
addition. There are three or four of
these on Chestnut Street, beyond
Ninth, land two on Chestnut near
the corner of Ninth.
Saunders Sansam has erected very
handsome frame residence on Eigth
Street, between Walnut and Chestnut.
The walls of the new Catholic
Church, corner of Sixth and Cherry
Streets are about half up This will
be, when finished. one of the most
spacious and elegant Church edifces
in the city. We published the di-
mansions and full particulars of style,
&C., ofthis building last Fail. #Uh
The number of new buildings in
process of erection is almost unpre-
scedented, an unerring indication of
the growth and prosperity Of our city.

THE TRINITY STRAWBERRY Sup
PER.-We presume it is hardly nee
essary to remind our readers of the
Strawberry Suppers to be given to-
night and tomorrow night at Mozart
Hall. The we'll -established reputa-
ton of the ladies of the Trinity NJ. E.
Church, in catering to the public taste
in the way of suppers, festivals, ia
bleaux, &c., is warrant that this.
will be- no ordinary entertainment.
The object is one worthy of the most
liberal patronage. Everything will
be arranged with view to rendering
the most perfect satisfaction. We
have full confidence of seeing the hall
full. A magnificent lunch will be set
on Friday and Saturday mornings
