In an extensive stroll which we took yesterday
throughout the First and Fourth Districts of tae
city, with an eye 10 making observations upon the
amount Of Improvements going on in the way OF

considered rather unusual activity In this line,
while the buildings in the course Of erection were
of kind which indicated that capital was seek

Those two subsla ntial residences which are going
up on St. Mary street, between ST. Charles aud
Prytsnia streets, and that splendid residence on
st. Charles street, adjoining the property OF Mr..

all who behold them.

cars and ride the whole length Of the lines, can
fail observing that the spirit of Improvement
appears to have been awakening throughout the
whole city as well as 10 the First and Fourth Dis
tricts, which have been considered the most pop
ular localities during the past ten years.

in the neghborhoods of Esplsnade street and the
railroad lines, one can see tenement after tene.

except In favored localities, but still so general
desire to build homes existing among our popuia-
ton is an almost uneriing sign OF healthy tooe
