ATTEMPTED Seieitn.~@A white man named

COTTAGE RESIDENCE Passing down Broad
street few days since, our attention was arrest
ed by the graceful proportions and pleasant ex-
terror OF a row of cottage residences (six in
number) situated on the corner of Broad and
Mayo streets. Upon enquiry we learnt that they
were the property of R. w. Hughes Esq. of
this city, and that they had been planned aud built
Mr. E. J. Crump. Feeling DESTROYS of seeing
the interior arrangements. we were politely
shown through one of the tenements and soon
discovered that although the exterior had beeu
fashioned after the cottage style in vogue in merry
Englan 10 the Elizabethian era the interior
comprised all the modern improvements of this
utilitaran age. We have rarely seen residences
more to Our fancy--all things considered-and
learn that nearly every tenement was taken before
being completed. Situated as they on the brow
of the hill overlooking the valley, the view from
the balconies and rear windows is cha, ming,
comprising as it does fine diversity of hill and
dale, and affording an admirable view of the
river, The shipping and the Falls Plantation
When reflect that few years since the site
! of these buildings was an unseemly chasm, and
that all communication with the valley below
WINS cut off by an almost impossible gulf we
can properly estimate the value of the present
Improvements in that quarter.
AS before remarked Mr.. E. J. Crump, Build
err, contracted for the erection of the whole row,
and to him is therefore due all the credit for the
architecture design and finish. TIE brick work
| was executed by Messrs. Glenn & Davis, the
Painting by Mr.. MITCHELL and the Plastering by
Mr. Evans. The whole row has been substan-
! tally built ut small cost and will yield line per
centage in rents upon the investment We want
more houses of the kind in the city, and are
quite sure we cannot serve capitalists who con-
template building better than by advising them
to consult with Mr.. Crump before closing their
bids.
