J. D. Stevens, Architect and Design- | the most thorough built houses in the coun- er, Saratoga Springs, prints a finely illus- try. Mr. Stevens is an architect of the very best class, and his work does not be- lie either his education or his reputation." trated advertisement on colored page 2. The following complimentary notice of Mr. Stevens we take from the Daily Sara- togian of December 7th, 1870 :
"A MAGNIFICENT RESIDENCE .- A site for a summer residence has been recently, pur- chased by the well-known millionaire of . New York, Col. Price, and Mr. J. D. Stev- eus, of Saratoga, architect, is supervising the erection upon it of a magnificent resi- dence. to cost upwards of $100,000. This splendid country place is located on Lake George. about two miles from Caldwell, midway between that place and Judge Cramer's delightful summer residence. The finest class of work is being put upon this house, and it will be, when finished, one ui the finest residences on the conti- rent, while every one knows who has visit- ed peerless Lake George, that the scenery of that region is beyond compare. Mr. Stevens has several other fine residences in course of erection in Saratoga and else- where, among which we notice the new hotel at Gien's Falls, the plan of which ex- Libit-a very handsome structure of brick &'d iron, four stories'in height, 100 ft. front, rurmounted by three towers and a Mansard roof. It will accommodate, when com- pleted, at least 500 guests, and is estimated Lo) cost $100.000. We also noticed in Mr. Storens' office the plans of several very lindome dwellings, among them one for Jacob Hiermance, of Ellenville, Uleter Iron. Cost $16,000. Another for John Mctihone, of the same town, built in the Gothic style, of brick ; Swiss roof and tow- et. A very stylish house. The residence of a Mr. Smith, of Ulster Co., is also a Do- tirable structure, and is said to be one of | 70.

The Post has been published, under varied names, ever since 1788, taking its pre- sent title in 1840. The many years its publication has continued is sufficient evidence of its appreciation by the people of this part of the country. Any commend- ations from us are unnecessary.

Wm. Reid, of West Hebron.publishes a card on page 218. There is perhaps noth- ine more deleterious to health than impure water, and yet by very many people the necessity of having pure water, uncontam- inated by the poisons with which water passing through metal, particularly lead, pipe is always impregnated, is treated with comparative indifference. Thousands of such instances of Lead poisoning as is re- lated in Mr. Reid's card occur every year. No such cases are recorded where Wooden Water Pipe Is used, which not only does The Sandy Hill Herald is one of the oldest papers in Northern New York, having been established in 1-23. It has noi endanger health or life, but is cheaper, and when laid in moist soils, actually out- In-ts iron or lead.
