IMPORTANT TO MECHANICS. amount
OF building in Madison during the coming
TWO years will be immense. The projected
capitol extension, authorized by the Legisla-
tuIe, and for which 500, 900 are appropria.

Poruouate height. The main or central

Court House and city Post Office. To this
may be added, two churches, at cost of
ABOUT $4,000 each, several private blocks of
ouiluihgs' and great number Of private
residences IN different parts of the city. All
these building are to be constructed of the
beautiful stone for which this locality ia no.

distant from the capitol.
Row the large amount of cut stone capi-
tais, pllasters, &c, are to be furnished is a
proolem worthy of serious consideration
II Is apparent that machinery viii become alb
sotu'eiy necessary TO accomplish the work,
