northeast corner Of First and Broad
albin streets, to be used for their gro-
Gerry and bakery.
Mr.. Eli Carter is a plucky man, and
is bound to succeed in life. When he
found that 1t was impossible to rent a
suitable Office In which to conduct his
Real Estate business, he Immediately
leased u sufficient space of Montcith's
lot on the southwest corner of First
and Broadalbin streets, and pulled off
his coat and went to work building
him an office. 1t will be ready for oc-
cupation in a few days.
Mr.. Bart. Crooks Is erecting q resi-
denec in Hacklcman's Addition. It's
location Is about the prcttiest in the
city.
Cartwright & McCord arc fast COM
pleting their buildings to be used as n
lard oil and soap manufactory. They
are large and commodious structures
and will add much to the business ap-
pcarance of the East End.
The foundation OF the now engine
house Is under way, aud that building
will soon loom into view.

provisions.
We learn that Mr.. Paxton will soon
quit the picture business, as 1t tells on
his health. Therefore If you want one
of these beautiful Rembrants, go at
once.-Registcr.
We beg leave to inform our Registe-
rial friend that Mr.. Winter will still be
found at the gallery after .Ar. Paxton's
departure, and will always be prepar-
cd to perform work in the highest style
of the art. Mr. Paxton Is q superior
artist, but it occurs to US rs being in
very bad taste to make an invidious
distinction i'm his favor at the expense
and TO the detrimcnt OF flmr. Winters
professional reputation, especially as
Mr.. W. is rs thoroughly qualified TO
perform the duties of his occupation as
many a more favored artist. The Rem
brant will be taken rs well in the flu
ture as i'm the past ut Winters gallery
