BROOKLYN
large number of stores have lately been erect
ed in various sections OF our neighboring city. Sc
yeral new churches are also going up. There ar
complaints however, of a scarcity OF dwelling
houses, and there is much less improvement in thl
respect than in the mercantile and business tacll
Ties Of the place. There are rows of elegant struC
cures in the retired streets, but very limited az
Communications for the great mass whose means d
not allow Of large expenditure With few IN
provements of this kind, there would be little LEI
to wish FOR.
