Plenty of w >rk is be ing done. 1 have more work than I have men to do it, that is the main trouble with ine. "What wages do good journeymen receive now? "Well from $£25to $i'k> ptr day. There is only about three in.-n iu my employe that receive tut tbey are mighty tiue workmen.

No less thau twelve or llfteen new houses have been erected there this year, and quite a unrulier of men are contemplating building on their vacant lots. Then tlirow yonr eye* over the extreme eastern portion of this eity. I cannot te!l you bow many new oues have been erected, ami so ou all over the city. Small houses are in great demand in this city, and persona having a little money invest it in a house and rent it to the working men. And another cause oI such a boom in house building now, is that any man who owns a pitfOe of 'and can have a house built wittiou* very much capital, by having it built on the installment priueipal—so muc i down and so much money per quarter, the contractor taking a mechanics lein ou the house. This way, of course, a luau has to pay a little more for nis house." The Top mill blast furnace is working nicely. Yesterday was pay d:iy at the River side mill.
