Plans of the now jail and proposed guard houso woro presented by Messrs. Kay Sc Hewitson, Architects, and fully explained in detail by those gentlemen. After a free discussion of tho sub? ject, tho following resolution was of? fered by Alderman Radcliffe, and adopted : Resolved, That tho plan for a guard ? house, to be fitted up in the basement ! of thc new jail, bo adopted, aud that, i forty-fivo hundred ($4,500) dollars be appropriated for that purpose, if so mueh bo necessary.

Tho streets are very wide, with water running , through nearly every one of them, j Every block is surrounded with shade j trees, and almost every house has its uoat little orchard of apple, peach, i apricot and cherry trees.
