THE Moore q Disslnger building, on the corner
of Third and Market streets, is finished so as to
admit of the plasterers, who are busily engaged
in preparing to put on the first coating. The
building, when finished, will be one of the
most imposing and prominent business locations
in this place. Several of the rooms have already
been leased and will be occupied as soon as COM
pleted. The corner room will be occupied by s.
Herzfeldor's magnificent clothing store, and the
balance of the rooms on the first floor by N. F.
Lightner as book and stationery, boot and shoe
stores and express Office. The front room on the
second floor will be occupied by ourselves as the
publication office of the SUNBURY AMERICAN, and
an extensive Job Printing office to do every kind
of Jobbing in the most improved style. Another
room adjoining has been engaged for an in
surancc Office by Messrs. Derr & Shipman, who
intend making it central office. The balance
of the rooms have all been examined by different

MoNEY.--We are much in want of money, and
must have it. The printing press, like an ell
gine, must be kept constantly oiled up, and
greenbacks or a mixture of gold silver and nickel
are the best ingredients to keep the press going.
We have q large amount charged on our books
and would be obliged to our friends if they would
make prompt settlement, as we are not In cir
cumstanccs to lay out of our money expended
for stock and wages to hands. Try and do this
much for us you will reap the benefit as we
intend in few months to remove into quarters
where we can give better satisfaction, and make
such improvements as will be beneficial to every
reader of the AMERICAN. We would also be
thankful if our friends throughout the county
would give us further encouragement in our
project by sending us new lists Of subscribers in
their neigh5orhoods. The more interest taken
in the circulation of the AMERICAN, the greater
will be the benefit to each subscriber.
