It will be of interest to the readers of Titin Pon, especially those remote from Brunets, to read a few notes on the al. terntione and improvements made in the promisee of Messrs, Leatherdale during the peat few months. First of all the plate front was remote. ed and new and more modern windows were eubetitnted with fanny glees above the plate. The stairway was taken down and moved to the rear of the front store and the office enlarged. Above the latter are fitted up anbinete for window ebadee, rollers, glace, &e. The undertaking departmeut formerly upstairs over the main store, was planed in the 20x32 annex et the rear of the blook where it ohoapiee the whole room, arranged in a very convenient Corm.
