 -F. F. Patten has begun work upon the proposed change of location of the east end of High-st. To effect the change it will be remembered that MT. Patten last spring purchased the Sullivan house and lot at the junction of High and Silver streets and Edgewood. The new street crosses the garden of the Sullivan place and the Central Mill Cos. canal, striking Furnace Avenue just south of Williams blacksmith shop. Considerable filling is required, but the convenience and im- pavement of approach from Main-st. to High-st., Edgewood, etc., will be very great.

 Stafford Street has settled back into it's accustomed quiet. The guests who have brought to us the pleasant stir oi increased life and activity, are, like the birds of springtime, fast leaving us, to seek their winter homes. From Mrs Adams the last to go were Mrs. Paige and family, Mrs. Thacher and daughters with their families. The last from Mrs J. R. Bucks were MT. and Mrs. George Brooks, of Philadelphia, Mrs. Shuit and sons, Alpheus and Morgan, of Parkville L. I. These and others are gone, but they leave with us the gorgeous sunsets
