Solid Fo,mGation.--The foundation
walls Of the Bradford market house. a,
the corner of Third and King streets, will

under the supervision of Washington
Cox, and they nave been commended by
many persons for their appareLt strength
and durability. The workmanship is
certainly of the best character, and they
look as though they may endure forever.
Too little attention IS frequently given to
the foundation of buildings, the masons
throwing in the stone as though their
only object was to complete the work at
the earliest possible moment, and secure
their pay for the same. We are pleased
to see different course pursued, and
commend it to the attention Of all build
ers and contractors as worthy of imi,a.
ton. !.
