Mr. Walker has spared no pains o,
expense in so fitting up this room that
it becomes an object of pride to the
town. In this he has been well Sec

eral neat articles of office furniture,
besides doing the plain painting in
side the enclosure; frosting the glass
and figuring the boxes.
1t would be difficult to take up by
detail the many tasteful appliances in

describe the pleasing effects produced.

ing and frost work, the metal labels,
placards, ETC., all combine to make up
an establishment the most attractive
of the kind in the county, if not in
the State, outside of Baltimore.
To this also must be added the i'm
provement furnished by the Western
Union Telegraph company, who have
provided for running in six wires and
and the same number out. For this
purpose a beautiful pole has been
erected in front with strong brackets
to conduct the wires to the window
arm, studded with twelves insulators,
thence into the room. From the en-
trance to the telegraph table the wires
are carried on pretty brackets and re-
turned in the same way. This work
is done by Mr.. 7. E. Hardesty of
Cumberland, line agent of the W. U.
I. G. He proposes making a fine job
both in and out of the office.
Altogether we have great reason to
be proud of this tasteful and expen-
sive exhibition Of enterprise on the
part of our excellent postmaster.
With the elegant preparation of the
hall for the interior fixtures by
Messrs. Hitchins Bros, he has made
the latter at once so pretty and con-
venient as to command the applause OF
all. The office is spacious enough to
accommodate any pressure that may
be made upon it, and all departments
are easily available and adapted to
largely increased accommodations.
We may have more to add next
week.
