HERE % com Tn4@lffSS r for r" building ma
| terials thus early, and we can see that
! the season is about to open for 1892.
From what we hear as also stated in an
other item we presume there will be
more building in this village this season
than ever before in the same time. 1t is
god business calculation for those who
think of building or repairing, to COM
mtnce now when workmen are not as
much occupied.
The village Fathers should place an
arc light at the point on West Main
street where Mill street and Dewey
avenue intersects it. To say nothing of
the residences Whereabouts, the new
streets opened up in that Locality and
which will begin to be built up this year
there are the large mill interests of Mr..
VIM. Cambell to be affected for the bet
ter by this light. This reminds us to
say that there are several places in town
that should demand!lights placed in bet
ter positions to illuminate the darkness
of nights.
IT is reported that there is at least one
case of diphtheria in this village and one
or two cases of scarlet fever. If such is
the truth the matter should be investi-
gated andprompt measures of quaran-
tine established. Like the treatment of
typhus or ship fever in New York, there
should be no foOling if the plague exists.
Ldter.-We understand from Health
Officer Daley that this case of diphtheria
is rigidly quarantined. The Superinten-
dent and teachers of our schools are
watchful Of the health of the children to
an extent that is not always seconded.

the draft of stove, has been in town
this week. He has placed forty of these
great economi7ers of fuel, into pipes in

with less clinker 1t improves the cook
