I As the year is about closing, we propose to take a tramp about town, and make a note of what our t .wnsmen have been doing for the few months. We shall confine ourselves to the business affairs and improvements of town-leaving a retrospect of the improvements in the morals of this part of the vineyard to those who have had these matters more particularly in charge. Now my good reader, you who have beeu absent from our little town for a year past, ami whose eon_ temptuous remark on returning, was, that '*Tunk. hannock*hasn't improved any for 15 years Start ing with you from our office door, and confining our examination to what has been done in one, or at most tiro years, we willtestthe truth of yourasser" tlon. You point in confirmation, do you, to the old cor ner building across the way. with its ten or fifteen snialler houses and shops surrounding it ! This is known as the property of the "Nicholson Heirs''—A iuare acre of dilapidated, unpainted, shabby look ing buildings, occupied by tradesmen and dealers ol various kinds, who pay ground-rent to the owners of the soil for the land ujm which their buildings stand. I'nder such circumstances no better class of buildings could well be expected. Many of these houses are urond-huud ones which have been moved on to this acre merely for temporary occupancy; and in ease of a fire, or a sale of the soil, will be burned up or moved again, at the word "go I" True, there has been but little change in this old corner house, now called "Kurt Sumpter." It stands there on the ccrncr of the aere, like an old hen, surround ed with its brood of black, white, yellow and brown thickens—'These chicks are mostly "of age," and might without any violation of maternal rights, leave the old lien. The same huge staring letters, -A. W. RKNSHAW. STuint," painted on the north side of the old fort, re main then- apparently as bright as they were fifteen years ago—an enduring monument "to the honesty ami skill of the painter. Miles llobinson : and to the enterprise of the man who had them painted there, lint we promised to look at new buildings and im provements? Here we go, up Tioga street! Stauding. as if at the cud ol the street, and in its line, —but really at an angle of it, and just opposite the old Mocum House. (so called.) commanding a view of its entire length up and down, is the fine, substantial looking, new house of Win. B. Overfield. liut we are looking too far. there are evidences oi Improvement nearer us. We have come in our walk opposite the -Stansbury House" ( Judge Stansbury built It. we believe)—of late it lias been occupied by various j-ersons as a dwelling. About a year ago it was purchased by the Burn's Bros.; ami now. how changedA new two story front has been built, plump out to the street, and several additions on the rear. In the front lower story through the fine iflass windows we see evidences of an elegant jewel ry store, over the centre of the door i a large clock dial, the hands of which keep moving around and admonishing the passer-by that—time dies.— In the second story are a suite of finely lit ted up dental rooms, where are disylayed in all their terri fying brightness, such a set of tooth carjienter's tools and "slump i>uliing machines," that even the sight of them, will instantly put to iiight the jump in-jetl toothache that ever ft .Hie ted mortal man or woman. On the right, you may notice that R. 11. Little £aq„ has made an addition to his dwelling, and other very decided improvements in the appearance of that corner. Turning up Warren St.. toward the court house, on the right and nearly at the corner of the snare. I- the new cabinet and furniture ware house of Stansbury. Haas & Peekham. Opposite and on tlie corner of ike square, is their work-shop with its •"t-y. little engitia and all the various kind-of la b:r saving machines used in the manufacture of their wares. Further on and directly in front of the Court House i< the new M. K. Church a large and taste tully constructed house, of the Ootkte style,—witli a tall spi <•. This i now nearly ready for dedica tion. its basement rooms, which arc. large and fine are already used for religious services. Pausing to look about the square. iiie first thing 'hat you xrnn't sec. is that unsightly, squabby look ing. old house, once called the "jail, but which, icwr for any great length ol time, was guilty of detaining a healthy criminal after lie wished to dc part from Its dingy, damp, uninviting cells. Now, the old thing.—"dearer to memory," than It ever was to view, has, like the criminals, left for parts un known. ■lust at the head ofClayjSt. and on the west side Ia WW street, miscalled "West street,"—you may • the successor to the old jail. Looking at It from h square you would hardly take It lot>e the Wy oming I 'ounty -Tombs." But rather, a fine resi dence for some wvjii-ttt-do yeoUvman Une of thai kind occupies It now. His name Is M. W, Hewitt, Sheriff. Looking about the square you will note the fact that almost every resident has recently been new painting their houses, and fencing their lots. That cozy looking place on the soutff side with it s pretty porch and iron wire fence is the improved place of D. L. Beckham. Passing to the west side of the square and looking down Putnam St. you will see that Dr. J. W. Ly man, has greatly improved his very neat residence— and that Mr. Churchill, has built a new house just opposite—Farther on, and on the west side oi the street, is the new brick Presbyterian Church, which, if you enter, you will find roomy, finely finished and furished, and altogether a good place to wor ship in, of a Sunday—to say nothing of its soft cush ions and offer accommodations for sleepers. Over on Harrison street, to the north of the square you notice a small new house lately built by Moses Detrick. Further up, Is the large plaining-mill, sash, door and blind manufactury of .lames Young, which has been greatly enlarged within the past few months, and at which place a large amount of work is turned out every week, by its busy owner. Passing along Clay St. to the new Jail, we see on the north of it, two new houses—One owi ted by Al fred Husk, (we wonder that he proposes to sell It) and the other by Oscar Goodwin. Following down this street, south, we pa.-s the new house, of James Shiffer. Near by, on the same side, is the new house of Kitner Kosengrant. We have now come to Tiogti St. again, andc.m see that Mr. Ovefield's house, which first caught'ou r view on starting out, is not a myth, but a real sub stantial solid and convenient structure. A glance up Turnpike street toward the upper foundry, shows us that the people have not been idle up there. On the right is the new house of Mr. L. Cook> nearly opposite, is the new house and shop of Mr. j Georgo Winans. Further on, and south of the foundry are two new houses, one belonging to Mr. Avery, and the other to Jos. Armstrong—Still further on, and to the southwest are tig; new dwellings of Samuel Hurling. Alvin Hurling and oi D. C. Drown. Passing down a newly o;>encd street toward the river, we find a large and splendid house under roof and nearly completed by G. E. Palen. Near by, are the new tenant houses of William B. Overfichl and C. P. Miller, and a new house built and occupied by Samuel Kosengrant. From this point we can take a view of one of the largest Tanneries in Northern Penna ; and probably the most complete in its arrangements of any in the State. Here too are the office, the barn, the long bark houses, and the busy workmen, giving the whole the appearance of a miniature manufacturing town. This is the establishment of the Palen Bros — Gilbert E. and Rutsou. It is managed by them in such a systematic and orderly manner that whilo the greatest results are accomplished, the least pos sible noise is made about It. We see too, across the canal Iroui the tannery, the new house, brickyard and fixtures of Mr. Guernsey. Above the tannery and on the same side of the ca nal and near Grove Spring are the new houses ot Patrick Giluiartin and Owen Madden. Passing down the street from the tannery to Its intersection with Putman St. and looking up it. we see another new tenant house, built last summer by C. P. Miller. We can also see that Mr. Mack & Son. now own ers of the "Clemens'Wagon Shop" have Jbeon ma king important additions to it: so that they now fur nish constant employment to from ten to fifteen men, and turn out, every month, large numbers of the most elegant styles of carriages and cutters. In passing down the canal, we observe that the false works are now up ready for the last span of the new river bridge. Indeed, foot-passengers are now safely passing over it The first half of the new R. R. bridge is also being rapidly put up. We have come now in' oui trampings to the first canal bridge, east oi the centre "of town: crossing over it and turning to the right, up Pine street, we pass a tine new barn built by Charley Harding : and the new house of Jerry Campbell. Going into Third street we find that Nelson Phin ney has built there a very comfortable new Uouse > and on looking over Sand Hill, up along Turnpike street we see, in what was once known as "Little's Grove," the new house of George Stoekel. E. Vor sehimer. Esq.. too. has been making some fine im provements in the way of new bulldlm;*. Nearer by and just across swail brook you see two very neat looking, nicely painted new houses.— These were put up durinir the past summer, one by P. W. Redfiield. and the other by John Steinples. Going along Third St. towards Turnpike, we pass the new house of Michael Croly ; and a new tenant house built by Perry Billings. Turning down Turnpike St. toward the river, we must, out of courtesy to the editor, notice the tact that he has commenced putting up what would seem to lie an additional story- to his house, but tail" cd to complete it—for reason* which may not be very- enigmatical to his delinquent subscribers. Further on and nearly opposite the old M. E. Church, we find that Mr. C. Detrick, has made an important addition to his house on the corner. On approaching the corners, we find that T. B. Wall, has two stories, ot a new three story brick wing or extension to his already commodious Hotel, already put up. This would have been up to full height had not the bricklayers bewn stopjied by the severe frosty weather at the. beginning of this month. The Hufford House too, has undergone such a thorough overhauling and painting, inside and out, as makes it look like another place. So that now, we can claim two as weli kept Hotels, as can be found In Northern Penna. We have endeavored to explain the reason why the Northwest Corner, in the centre of our town, presents such an unfavorable apjiearance, to the stranger, and to the uon-re-ident on revisiting It; and why in looking at It, you were induced to make your fifteen years non-improvetuent remark, at the outset. By a hasty run about town we have proved, by ocular demonstration, that Tuukhannock h(H improved, and rapidly too, within the past law months. True, many of the houses that we haie called your attention to. are small and unpretending one*—and a few of them are yet unfinished. Bui all. furnish homes to their builders. With but two or three ex ceptions the occupants and builders are the oicners— this fact is one of the very best evidences ola sub-tan tial progress and improvement of the town. In our hurried glance about town. It ts quite prob able that we have overlooked some improvements In the way of buildings, which should have attracted our attention. Several other buildings are now underway, and will lie ready lor oc-upaney by the coming April.— Among which we call to mind, one by Thos. D. Stonier, ene by S. D. Bacon and one by R. W. Ban uatyne. The completion of the new three story brick bank building, was prevented by the early setting in of winter.
