Isom ANNIVERSARY ISSUE Continued From Page 8 second story being occupied by the Standard Printing Office, a Tailor Shop and Millinery Establishment. The other block is designed for a Drug Store, Stove and Tin Shop, and Photograph Gallery, which will be fin- dished about the last of this month. There has also been erected during the pres- ent year, on the north side of Perry street, a large Foundry and Agricultural Implement Manufactory, occupying about an acre of ground, and comprising two buildings 36x60 each, in the form of an L. Engine House 18x36, and Blacksmith Shop 20x40, all of which are nearly completed. Active opera- tion in the way of manu- facturing and repairing all kinds of agricultural implements, and Mill Machinery, have already commenced. This estab- lishment is very much needed in this section of country, and will give employment to a large number of hands. Mr. Gibson, the proprie- tor of the business is spar- ing no pains in fitting up the machinery, having secured first-class work- men, and being a first- class workman himself, he can do anything required in his line, as well as it can be done in Cariada or elsewhere. On North street there is in course of erection a beautiful Episcopal church of brick, 50 by 30, in the Gothic style of architecture Judging from the designs, it will be an ornament to the place and EDITOR OFFFICE MGR a credit to the contractors and Building Committee.

We may add that a parsonage is also about to be erected by the Baptists, 40x30, two story high, with cottage roof. Private dwellings have also been put up which give the place quite a changed aspect. Port Perry has suffered much for want of house accommodation, several families having had to board at the Hotels. Every house in the place is occupied by from one to four families. We under- stand a large number of dwellings will be put up next year to supply the deficiency. We also understand arrangements are being completed by Bigelow Bros. for building a large woolen Factory during the next summer, which will be commenced as early as the weather will permit in the spring. The building is to be 40 by 80, three stores high, of brick, and 'will be capable of turning out from four to five hundred yards of cloth per day,---employing some thirty hands. Messrs.
