Susquehanna - In accordance with the other extensive improvements all along the line of the Erie, this place is coming in for its share. Within a few months will be constructed here on the bank of the Susquehanna river, new storage track, a new roundhouse, and a number of new shops. For a long time the land north of the present tracks was of no value, owing to the freshets [floods] in the river, but already a large retaining wall has been built along the bank at this point. The well is 446 feet long, 10 feet wide at the base and narrowing down to 21/2 ft. at top and about 30 ft. in height. Much of the ground so enclosed has been filled in and there is now ready for use enough territory to permit the erection of the new shops. The largest of the new repair buildings is the roundhouse, which is to contain 29 stalls, each 95 feet deep. These stalls open on to an 80-ft. turntable, which will be operated by a motor. Close by this, toward the river, will be built a modern machine shop containing all of the machinery necessary for modern repair work. A little further west is a powerhouse equipped with two 4-horse power engines and a water tank with a capacity of 500,000 gallons, which is one of the largest on the line of the road. In the yard will be erected a modern oil house and engineers' tool room and general store house. Further to the west will be built a sand house, two sand towers, a water crane for engines going in or out of the roundhouse, and coal pit with a crane track.

Liberty Twp. - On the farm of Jas. Adams, on Snake Creek, is an 18-inch vein of coal which for several years the people in that vicinity have been digging out and burning. Those who have seen some coal have become considerably interested in it of late and are agitating the organization of a company for the purpose of prospecting in the vicinity of Steam Hollow for both oil and coal. Those interested claim that there is every indication of oil and coal there and they think that the vein which starts on the Adams farm could be located and that a stock company organized for that purpose would have no trouble in disposing of enough stock to do the prospecting.

Uniondale - We had two days of good sleighing, which the people made good use of. To-day they were obliged to use their wagons again in the mud.

News Briefs: "Notice," says an exchange. "This fall when you think a woman is coming toward you she is very likely going from you. They are wearing their waists buttoned in the back and their skirts down in front. Their hats have broad brims in the back and little narrow brims in front. Everything they put on this fall is put on backwards."
