The Corner Stone Laid.-Ths storm of
the past week prevented the laying Of the
Corner Stone of the Penitentiary until
Thursday at 8 p. NJ, at which time An as
semblage of almost 100 persons was present
to witness the ceremony. The Corner
stone-a fine block of granite-wa pre-
pared with cavity for the reception of
such articles as it might bs desired to lock
up in the embrace of mortar and stone to re-
main until destruction unlocks the casket to
other generations. A paper was prepared
with record of the principal National,
Territorial. and County officers; the names
of the Secretary of Interior, Commissioner,
and Contractor; population of the town, ETC.,
and signed by about sixty of the persons
present. This with Tribune and World
almanac of 1870 copy Of the Independent
and New NORTH WEST of last week, seve-
raj coins and U. 8. notes, and eight ounces
of pure 'Old Crow" whiskey packed and
Theoretically sealed, was deposited in the
receptacle of the Corner Stone, previous.
ly put in position in the northeast corner.
The ceremonial of laying the Stone was
then performed by Superintendent A. H.
Mitchell, assisted by Contractor George
Mckinney, the slab fitted over the recep-
tacle, and the anvils announced in ring
ing old salute of zoo guns that the Corner
Stone was laid. The officers had provided
a generous supply of champagne for the &C.
casion, and after tipping goblets to the sue
ccssful completion of the work the Assem-.
blagc dispersed, their steps quickened by
threats of an increase of the storm, which
had been throughout the ceremonies drip.
ping the tears of cloudland for the sinful
ness of humanity that rendered such insti-
tutions necessity-or in other words, it
threatened a heavy rain. Work on the
building which was stopped by the storm is
again being rapidly pushed forward and the
first story walls will be up in 30 days.

awarded to Strsng & Richardson the con-
tract for doing the tin work on the .Peni-

roof with TX bright tin, lining cave gutter,
and two five inch conductors on each side.
