ance now that he does not have to be out

IMPRovEMENTs.-Few men have done
more in the way of beautifying their homes
than Andrew Hallet, of this place. For
years in front of his residence there has
been an unsightly high bank, leaving his
dwelling in the back ground and hard of
approach, but this has all been taken away
and neat stone wall, about four feet high,
! built along the front of the lot and the
ground sloped off from the top of the wall
and neatly sodded In addition to this,
Andrew has laid neat 6 #. pavement, all
of stone, the full width of the pavement,
altogether presenting as handsome ap-
pearance as any property in town. An
drew is an enterprising man and deserves
great credit for his taste and enterprise.
Other improvements have been going on
in our borough, but owing to the wild eX-
citement Of election times, we have failed
to notice them, although, we aim to give
every one the credit due, that have displayed
the least enterprising spirit. The Misses
Lake have greatly added to the appear
ance of things about their property by the
laying of sidewalk and the erection of a
neat stone wall in front of their property
The neat manner in which they have laid
out the grounds around their house and
the opening Of side street in which their
lot covers in fact, the laying of sidewalk
along the entire length of Courtland street
from the Analomink House to the railroad
crossing, is an improvement that is worthy
Of notice, for many of the citizens along the
line Of this improvement have caught the
spirit of enterprise from our Borough
! Fathers and have danced to the tune of i'm
provement. Among others we will mention
George Plattenburg, Martin Chambers
Mrs. VanWhy and Peter Albert, all OF
whom have erected stone walls along the
front of their respective lots and some OF
them have capped this with a neat picket
fence. The old stoops and celler doors
along the front of the properties owned by
Jacob H. Rhodes and VIM. Wallace, have
all been removed and in addition to the
neat side walk, stoops have been erected
Mr.. John Burt has greatly beautifed his
home by new side walk and painted the
front of his house and fence. The Lacka
wanna House under the propretorship Of
Mr.. John Barlow, has been undergoing
thorough repairs in the way of a new til
roof and neat coat fpaint. Mr.. B. believe:
in keeping things in good order and Mrs
b. is no less anxious about the interior
order Few, more comfortable stopping
places are to be found, and strangers stop
ping there once are apt to find and secure
the same comforts again. Mr.. Theodore
Drake, saddler and harness maker, ha.
been clothing his domicile in coat of paint
