The Consolidated roads proposed lay out through this city has been complet- led and it is now only a matter of time when the Improvements and changes in road will be made. This will require the taking of much property by the rail- road company. Perhaps the best is that James Sexton & Sons, in East Bridge port. The change thus brought about will compel the proprietor of this well known business to dispose of his entire stock of monuments, headstones and
 statuary, which now fill the yards on Crescent avenue. It is only 8 short time since MT Sexton was informed that the railroad would not need his property so he added largely to his stock. At the present time it contains over $50, 1000 worth of finished productions in marble and granite of all kinds. It is without doubt one of the largest displays that can be found in the yard of any one firm in this country to-day. But the entire lot must be sold and the premises cleared at once. So the prices must be cleared at figure
