Isuppose you have no objection 70 hay-
ing an "occAsional' correspondent from
this place There are matters Of interest
going on here once In q while that would
probably Interest some Of your readers.
Just now there isnothing particular going
on only the work Of des truction on our pub
Lie buildings TO make way for o more mod.
ern structure; In fact, Something very
grand, The new court house, jail, and
sherif's residence win, when completed, be
something that viii be q credit 70 this
county, u not to the Staten 1t will cost
upwards Of too hundred thousand d0!laFs,
The old court house, jail, Sc, have been
an eye.sore 70 the citizens Of this place FOL
a number Of years. OF course, there arc
those who th0ugl Lit It good enough, but q
very large majority thought otherwise
This Is the age Of. progress, the younger
wanting to Keep Up With the times, and
tho old "croakeFs" will not be slow TO al:
nit that 1t was absolutely necessary and
wise to make the improvements when tue
work Is once completed. Our old Jail Is
so fur behind the times that any five year
old boy could break out Of It In half an
hour BY the watch, and Of late It has had
the name Of "Paper Jail" which 1think
Is SANDER on paper; and then that Old
town clock, We gods how are we going
to get along without it, It has been there
upwards oftilly years, and there Is not q
man from the Oldest TO The youngest who
ever saw the hands point to the same
hour on any two Of tho four dial plates.
But It seems we are not to lose sight Of the
dear old clock after all. One Of our little
fat Councilman, John Orr, Esq., very
good and public spirited citizen, bought
the whole rig for twenty-five dol
lars md presented IT. ITO 1.-THE
Catholic Church, where twill be placed
into the stecple for the benefit Of the peg
pie OF the upper part Of Fourth street
but il It don't get up a better tick" up
there than 1t did on the Court House, !
don't see where the benefit will come In.
The beautiful iron fence that has sur.
rounded the court yard for the last ten or
twelve years, was purchased by the School
Commissioners 10 be- placed around the
now school building which was completed
only o few months since, and Is one Of the
finest buildings in this section Of the
country; you have nothing In your neck
Of the woods that will compare with 1t.
The work of widening the paVements on
all the streets Is also going bravely on.
The Market street payements are being
widened some five feet, while others arc
from two to three feet, which helps the
looks Of the place, and Is at tho same
time very beneficial to Ytoot passeng
Our excellent Seminary Is now having
its summer vacation; In the meantime y
will get general Overhauling, and,
think opens about the LIST of September
This Institution has got to be great sue
cess under the leadership Of the Rev. A
II. Reed. The Third Street Seminary
under the management of Miss Nc
Cracker, has become very popular, and
think, q great success. It Is also closed
for the summer season. .'. e.
Our rolling.mill is also having a summer
vqcutton in consequence Of q " strike
among the boilers, which throws s0me
500 hands out of employment. The
strike Is not matter Of dollars and cents
