Messrs O. ERICKSEN, E. OLSEN, and A. THORESEN are how busy erecting the Norsewood Town Hall, which in design, size, and convenience will be an acquisition to that settlement and a credit to the promoters. The stand is opposite and fronting the school, and the structure will present a very handsome front elevation. The building consists of a main hall 35ft by 41ft, with a stage 35ft by 18ft. On each side of the stage wings are built out, the western being 18ft by 10ft and the northern wing 30ft by 12ft, the latter giving ample accommodation and conveniences for banquets, spreads, small meetings, etc. The building is being pushed on vigorously, and will be opened at a near future date by a grand entertainment.
