Aeonerete walk now adorns the front oi tho Grand Central Hotel, and. with the Other in'- proeements that Mr. Browne has made, the hotel prcseIis . very nne appear niicS. From the Central Hotel down tp Mir. M. c. Hawloy's house the walks arc of concrete, excepting in front of Mr. Henry Sanforl's residence. which is Of stone. Mr, SapforL Sill probably widen his walk and lay . portion with concrete On the east side of the street the walks arc very good. either of stone or concrete. cOncn1e Salk will he laid in front of Dr. Marbles new house ns soon ns tho house tx finished. Mcssrs' Cole & Hinkley have laid these walks in Il manner that is satisfactory to the owners. They personally attend 10 every foot of concrete laid. and my ono watching their movements ean sec that they not only understand their business and do good work. but are not afraid to work themselves.
 The next move that our citizens on the street should interest themselves i'll is the proper grading of the street. If each one n the borough would, be will ing to be taxed small sum to iiil in tine be done. and done well.

We called at the new hat mandatory of $. A. Blackman & Co. of Hawleyville, a few days ago, and found the superin- tendent, Mir. Kellogg Nichols busy at work bouncing hats, with the new machine, getting them ready for the finishers, some of whom are already at work. This factory has every modern convenienees, ,and has been built with the view of doing tirst-class work. The location is good, and the supply of water for machinery, steam boiler, &e., is abundant. Mr. Nichols, the superintend- ant, issa man of experience. and knows practically all that pertains to the getting up of fur hats. The quality of hats now being made compares favor- ably with those made in other towns We have no doubt ourselves of the sue cess of this establishment, and we trust that this new enterprise will be the means of not only adding to the industry of the teEn. but will be the means of drawing more capitalists and introducing more business.

The Concert

Sanford's Hall on Friday evening con- tained a fair audience to hear the Glee Club, and we are pleased to note that the entertainment was we'll received.- The turn out was not very large, yet several persons bought tickets or sent their favors with kind words, which was acceptable and appreciated, though they could not attend. The trial of the man for horse-stealing drew away many who would otherwise have been present. However, we return" oRf thanks, and that of the Bethel Glee Club, who also feel that their efforts were appreciated. It Is highly gratifying to us to know that our first attempt to initiate P. T. B. did not result disastrousfs, and that we are truly thankful for the. good will shown us.
 The next entertainment will be some what after the style of a Chinese tra- gedy, which is said to run through years,- and our part will be to take your sub scripticns, either for yourself or your absent friends. Do not stand upon the order of your doing, but do it at once.
