the room formerly occupied by the Sergeant
at arms of the Assembly and the entry i'm
mediately in front of it into one room, and
connect it with the library. An invoice of fine
books has been ordered, new cases will be put
up and thus the accommodations of this val
liable department will be improved. and its
usefulness greatly enhanced. The library
room has always been too small, and the
change has been long needed. We are, glad
to see it and hope 1t may go on. The offices
OF the Governor, State Mineralogist and Sec
Rotary of State ought to be altered, by run
ming the partitions the other way. This
would give to each two bright comfortable
Offices instead of one good and one dark,
gloomy almost useless one. Our capitol is
indeed beautiful, but within, though not
filed With all uncleanness, is not arranged as
it might be.
