tendence they were erected. The store taken by
Messrs. Reed, Cutler & Co. Is nearly l75 feet

~ Perhaps no city in the world has been
subject to so many changes in respect to the
location of business. as New York. The most
noted quarters of the town once occupied solely
by private residences, have become orare grad
ully becoming the great business mar's OF the
day. and banks, stores and manufactures
usurp the sites where formerly the homes of the
wealthy stood. The Home Journal in noticing
these changes speaks of Bond street, once the
aristocratic quarter, as fast changing its char
acter and becoming rival OF the busy streets.
Many of the residences of the :" famous men J"
of the past, have been turned into warehouses
and elegant stores. The Home Journal speaks
thus respecting one of these changes which
shows what revolutions the tide of progress has
made in Gotham:
The famous number sixteen, well known to
all New Workers as the residence OF Gideon Lee,
when mayor of this city, has also undergone
change. II was in this mansion-always cele-
brated for the hospitality of its owncr-that
General Jackson, when President of the United
States, was received aud sumptuously enter

wherein 7" Old Hickory" welcomed the thous-
ands that called on him during his visit, is now
a spacious and elegant saloon, filled with per-
fumcry and all the paraphernalia belonging to
Bachelor and Browns establishment, whose
worldwide reputation is as just as II is honor
able. A few years more, and Bond-street,
doubtless, will he among the bazaar marts In
the city. Other business firms will soon fol-
low the example set by Bachelor and Brown,
and the old dwellings will disappear to make
room for stores and shops. AS nation, there
is little regard entertained for old landmarks,
even when historical incidents cluster around

the notice of DR.. James Sawyer, that hc has
made an arrangement for the vaccination of oil
who desire to guard themselves and their fami-

case, the small pox. 1t is well known that per-
sons who have been once vaccinated are, after
a number of years have elapsed, liable to take
