USIoS BRIDGE ITENs.-The spirit of i'm
provement still seems to hover over our
young borough. Mr.. Russell has the founda-
ton of new machine shop built, and Judging
from the number of hands at work on It, il
will not be long before the shop is completed.
Mr.. John Marshal has begun work on his
house, which is to be built this fall II would
be great improvement to the west side of
town if some more paving was done on the
streets, particularly White street, as it would
make the walking to the school house more
pleasant in q muddy time. We would also
suggest that the pavement be put ON the same
side of the street that the school-house is on,
thus saving the Inconvenience of the children
crossing, often in the mud, since that street
becomes very muddy at times.
