IMPROVEMENTS. - Among other visible
improvements in our city, we notice that
of our enterprising young merchant, n.
+. CORNELIUS. He has just completed a
new front in his store, which adds beau
ty and taste to the building and a general
improvement to that part Of the town.
We are glad to see these outward signs
of progress, for they are sure indica-
ton of healthy business advancement.
Success to him, and may he soon find
that more room is demand for his in
creased trade.

FRE.-Our city was startled on Sun
day morning last, by the cry Of Fire.
About 3 o'clock thu Shoe Shop Of Mr..
CHAgLEs RIBLisG, was discovered In
flames, which soon spread TO 1. small
wood building Of JonN WALLAcr's be-
tween his Saloon and the building OF Rib
lings At one time it was feared that the
brick store Of Mr.. Wallace would be
burnt but by the energetic exertions of
the citizens present ii was saved.
The loss by the fire, on Mr.. Ribling,
the owner Of the building, and had a
considerable stock of leather and mate
rial connected with his business, is some
fifteen hundred dollars
The Saddle and Harness Shop in the
same building, probably three hundred
dollars.
joni Wallace's loss, damage to Saloon
and building burnt, eight or nine hundred
dollars.
The loss of Mr.. Ribling is greatly re
GREETED by all Of our citizens He is an
exceedingly industrious, hard-working
man, and had but just got cleverly under
Roadway in our city. With the help of
some of our liberal hearted citizens, he
will soon open out a new Shop, and We
trust the liberality of our people will be
duly manifested.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work Of an incendiary.
DR.. White had o horse stolen the same
night from his stable, We learn; and also
the store OF n. +. Cornelius was entered
and robbed Of small amount Of money
during the progress of the fire.
