It is an incorporated town containing wbout 500 inhabitants, a brisk business place, being a coal and grain centre; has two churches, viz: Free Methodist and United Brethren which are well at» tended : a large school building in which are two schools—grammar and primary —open nine months of the year; two Sunday schools, two stores, steam eleva tor and chopping mill, three smith shops, narness and shoe shop, meat market, public hall, two saloons and billiard halls, The river is well stocked with fish, viz : Buffalo, redhorse, pickerel, pike and eatfish, the latter grow very large; what are called @atfish in the East are here called bu'leads. The surrounding country is a little rolling, but said to be very productive, prospects are good for a big bay crop; grain looks well, but owing to the hard winter fruit will be scarce, as it is nearly all frozen. The wet weather has delayed the farmers with their work, consequent ly there is a great deal of corn to plant yet. Timber for fuel is plenty, varietivs are oak, sugar, maple, hickory, walnut, ete.—~no pine, Town and county is made up princi. pally of people from Penn's and New York, except the Germans we have, all in good circumstances.
