The boom in our village has not only
commenced, but is already being carried
on beyond the most sanguine expecta
tiOns of the most enthusiasts of the
most hopeful of our most public spirited
citizens. Some things are now located,
aud upon foundations which appear i'm.
movable. The basement walls Of the
shoe factory are above the level Of the
ground. and the engine and boiler are
set, so that with a smoke stack aud pipe
connections for steam, the requisite
power can be obtained for large bust
mes. The benefits of Lincoln Park are
more and more appreciated, not so much
for its beauty, as trees and shrubery
have got to grow, but that it creates a
division of travel coming in and going
out, thereby rendering collisions Less
liable in the hurry and hustle of trade.
The Housatonic Railroad Company
have been persuaded to shun the more
thronged streets and will build their
road through the west part Of the village

the vicinity of where it is possible the
depot or repair shops may be located.
In looking the matter up we find there
are less lots on the market than in either
of the cities of Troy or New York. A
railroad from the East or the North
West has not as yet been surveyed, and
however numerous the rumors, we pre-
sumo the railroad magnates interested
will want warmer weather before com
mencing operations. While everything
is moving on at such speed. the jealous
les so common to even larger places
than ours. are not harbored among us,
Our interests are so observation-disclosures
ness men living in one part and traffic
ing in another, with their residences in
the less frequented suburbs, and bust
ness hours spent where trade is crowd
ing, we come in contact with each 9th.
er so much that there is little to divide
and we all place our shoulder TO the
wheel together and boom everything
along.
