while al! things show Ligo. iei is undeniably an old town, yet we would not have any one siipjinse for a moment that it is u.it a progressive place, or that theie is nothing new ubvut it. We know-that many ieople who have never seen the town have that impression but it is a wiong one. We venture the assertion that L'gonier can boast of as many coiufii table, tasteful, and even as b-autiful residences as any other town of its siza in this pait of the country. ofoitun dely for herself, as to giving lirst impressions to casual visitors, she is very much like sonu other towns that we know, in that she does not "put her K-st font forw.ud." Her main street, while adorned with a nuuib -i of buildings of which neisl not ashamed, as a whole does Hot impress strangers as being a line street.

Like tin' other towns of which we sjioke, her modern improvements aiefor the most part contioed to (lie on the side stns ts, and are -nil observed by the chance visitor pacing a'ong the main street. The piiucip.il business of the place is gathered id suit the Diamond, a large square in the nter of the town, at the crossing of the two princ pa! streets.
