C. H. Delano has commenced exca-

his building to be quite an addition to
that part of the town.

Casey & Ward are also laying out
street. We notice two buildings al
ready under way. This street promises
to be quite important, leading from near
the steamer Eddy's landing to the upper
falls. This street wiz be called Block
House avenue, and abounds i'll slightly
and romantic views. The particular 10
cality is also historical, as it will be
situated part of its distance on the ideu-
teal ground of the old military road be
tween Champlain and Lake George.
The turnpike, bitches, Culverts, &c, can
be plainly seen. This road skirts Mount
Defiance. where. at the Block House,
the guns were placed to drive the enemy
from cod Fort ri" and these heavy
guns were taken up over this road.
Your historical society should have held
their field day at Mount Defiance, and
the orator of the day should have ridi-
culed with all his power any military
blockhead, even if born during the cru
sades, who would plan fort within
easy range of a mountain ten times its
height, whose western slope is so grad
ual that ordinary carriages may he

Your correspondent, who idolizes
the old town, notwithstanding its oceans

suggest, (having no axes to grind, two
other streets one commencing near the
old red school house, on the property of

Another street intersecting the above

point of the above streets would not
vary much, starting from the common

called Brooklyn, Weedsville, in the Vi

building purposes cheaper than any yet

some such move is made population may
be driven to the upper falls, in conse-

If the depot on the Champlain and

half way to the upper falls it might
hasten the above changes.
The roads to to the depot and boats
are simply a disgrace to any civilized
