your eyes, from which you are now sui
fcring. you fail probably to perceive
them. aud sou viii please permit me to
supplement- your vision, (Which by the
way. hope will be soon fully rcstored)
Ivy jo!tins down ia a summary way,
these matters.
On tho >. r.. corner of Ma iden lane
anu Main st. the Transformation is i'm
deed very surprising the houses have
all boon repaired, reprinted and rsiur-
bisaed, 80 thut you would hardly rcccg-
nize tue lot. The fencing on main trout
and up maiden lane and on the South
side OF the premises has all been hand
some'y renewed, till it looks like a Phm.
Xix fresh risen from its ashes. This is
tho work OF Mr.. LAMoNrE OF Bound
Brock, who Las exhibited great .ood
taste and judgment in the plan and ex-
ecution and who l understand will oc-
rupy it during the summer with his
family.
In fact tEis whole upper square has
been pretty thoroughly repaired by new
fences. by Mr.. Gilkcson. Sir. Sectors
and Mr. montgomery.

out niee rows OF Shade trees the whole
length Of their lot on both streets, an |
contemplate erecting. each Of them, a
residence on the lot, the same being Of
ample s'zo for two nice residences with
adequate garden and yard room. Now il
the hiatus between Mr.. Taylor's row of
trees TO The end of his lot, was planted
with shade trees, the walk from Main
st 10 The Presby terrain Church would be
made much more comfortable and beau
'iful. Mr.. Taylor know has contem-

greatly To the appearance. Of the street,
