The near approach of the railroad has had a tendency to make things quite lively in Cambridge, and on every hand may be seen the work of the various artizans. Quite a number of residences and some store buildings are in course of erection. New business firms are springing into existence and everything points to a most successful summer. Among the buildings nearly completed is one twenty by sixty, two stories, by Green & Bryant, to be used by them as a hotel and restaurant. The location is a good one, and there is no reason why the business will not be a profitable one. —(Sept. 23, 1881.)
Dr. Grafton and Livingston & Rodearmel have nearly completed a large store building forty-six by eighty, two stories. One room is to be occupied by dry goods and the other by Livingston & Rodearmel as a hardware store. They are already engaged in opening their stock.

L. & R. will have a large stock and one that it will not be necessary to go elsewhere for hardware, stoves, nails or any other articles in their line.-—(Sept. 23, 1881.)
Among the prospective buildings is one by Brown & Cronk, who will erect a commodious building for their drug store soon. —(Sept. 23, 1881.)
