BUILDINGS IN RIDGWAY.-Ridg-
way, we actually believe, is waking up
to a sense of its importance as a
county seat at last. During the past
summer about twenty-five substantial
houses have been pat up. Many more,
we understood, are in contemplation of
erection next summer. Mr., IS, Hyde,
we are informed, intends building res
idcnco, besides a foundry, and several
dwelling houses. This is step in the
right direction, and we hope to hear of
others of our wealthy citizens following
his example. We venture to say that
if there was to-day one hundred houses
to let in our village that they would be
tcnanted in a month.
