House Moving
D.N. Hastings has completed the moving of the house, which was undertaken some time since from the wharf on Fifth Street, to the corner of First and D Streets, and makes a vast improvement on 1st street. He intends to divide the house into three apartments on the lower floor, the building being two-stories high, one of which will be his butcher shop, and another division is intended for the Herald Office, and the third for a dry goods store. The upper portion of the bulding is designed for offices.Collection
