THE EAGLE BLOCK - Mr. POWERS is pushing along his improvements in that
portion of the Eagle Block which he had purchased. Two stores are being
constructed in the western portion, one of which is to be occupied by Mr.
McGUIRE as a confectionary establishment. The office of the Eagle is being
altered to become an elegant store. The stone portico will remain, but the
floors will be lowered. This store when completed, will be used as a depot
and salesroom of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Co., and will be
one of the best for the purpose ever used in this city.
Messrs. A. Strong & Co. will ere long make such
improvements in the store they purchased as will adapt it to their wants.
What is to be done with the remainder of the block,
yet owned by Mr. WALBRIDGE, is not known. There are rumors of sale, but
nothing has transpired in that way, but the property is understood to be in
market.

DIED
VAN VALKENBURG - In Bath, on the evening of April 27th, Catharine F., wife of the Hon. B. R. VAN VALKENBURG aged
40 (or) 48 years.
Her illness, which was protracted for more than a year, was accompanied by continued and extraordinary suffering.
It was however, marked by corresponding degrees of divine grace, producing great faith, patience and hope of the
Saviour. In the very extreme of suffering she said, "My will is subject to the Cross." She spoke of the
great goodness of God to her to those who mentioned her pains, and repeated the lines-
"Come thou, Almighty King,
Help me thy name to sing."
