Workmen have been obliged to quit work on the addition which is to be made to the Baker Gun Factory. All the heavy timber and joists are snowed under. As soon as the weather will permit an addition fifty feet square and two stories high will be built on the south side. This will be followed by the construction of another building 30 feet square. These structures will be for the heavy machine work. Work is flying at the factory and the necessity for more rooms is imperative. *** Amusement Notes. Pete BAKER, the German comedian of Buffalo who starred in "The Emmigrant" at the Opera House on Saturday evening, made a much better appearance than he ever did before in Batavia, and Billy KENNEDY as Dennis McGraw was funny. The play was cut to some extent and some of the jokes were awfully old, but on the whole the unusually large audience was much pleased. To-morrow evening May Davenport's company of girls will give a performance at the Opera House. *** "Bands of Mercy" in Batavia.
