THE BURNT DISTRICT TO BE RE-BUILT
Mr. Scott White, whose business house was somewhat injured yesterday, by the falling walls of the St. Nicholas Hotel, has concluded to have the building removed, and put up in its place a new brick building, one hundred and ten feet deep, on Sixth street, of the width of the lot, and two stories above the Levee. He proposes to go at the work immediately, and expects to have it completed, and be in the new house with a new stock of new goods, by the 1st of September next. We have also been informed that arrangements will be made to rebuild the houses destroyed by the fire yesterday morning, and that a brick building will be erected on the site of the house lately occupied by Mr. George Olmstead. These facts show that there is life and vim in our business men, and that they have confidence in the future of the city.
