BUILDING IN JANEsvILLE.-Theren never
was a season when so much building is il
progress and in contemplation in this city
AS the present. One ofour master work mer
informs us that he has already contracts Il
an amount of $50, 0G0, and others have
large amount of work on hand. These va
rious contracts embrace buildings Of every
description. and the number to be erected
during the season will be limited only by
the supply of material to be obtained. Prop.
erty is changing hands very freely, at ad

in the city. and families are daily compelled
to seek a home elsewhere because nc
