The uppcr storey is divided into two large rooms. The outside of the house is tastefully decorated with gingerbread work" The inside is "hard- finished" The outer buildings consisting Of stable, carriage-house. etc, have an air Of com fort not to be fonnd about some houses occupied by members of the human family in this vicinity. It's cost exceeds 5000.
 The house being built for A. Q. Moves will soon be completed. The main building is 2Ox36. has a wing, l6x2O, in the west end of which Is a bay window. We have forgotten the dimen- sions of the kitchen and dining room, but they run nearly the full llength of the main building. The outside is wcather-boarded; the inside is lined with the best quality of lumber. It pre- sents neat appearance. Its cost will, we think, reach s5,000,

IL is built on a lot adjoining their old stand on Good win street, fronting the plaza is 75 feet deep by 2J feet wide. snd has 90 single stalls (l5 on each side), besides an office and room in which ic store grain. Tine upper storey will hold 20 ;oss Of hay. It is throughout, very substantial, comfortable building, and admirably adapted for a horse hotel. C. W. Stanley planned h. Messrs Brooke X Linn deserve praise for the improvement, which was badly needed here.

The brick for the upper storey, is already hauled and piled up on tie lot and ihe masous have commenced hamIering away on the Granite rocks. We hase heard various gen tlemen wish that the Me@rs H. would make of 1t three story building, the upper one to be used Tor haii or . recreation -cc:s ef some snrt- and we hope tl-y vill do so. It would bring them a good revenue.
