]; DOWNTOWN IMPR0vEHENTs-AN ELE-
CANT AND CONVENIENT STORE AND RESI-
DENcE.- In addition to many other, things,
Old-Market square and vicinity has always
been noted for diversity In its styles Of
buildings. Most OF the property I'm
! that section having been tho architects OF
i their own fortunes, imagined themselves
competent also to act in the same, capacity
for the erection OF their own stores and
dwellings. The consequence has been as
many different designs In architecture as
there were colors In Joseph's coat, or in;
Jacobs cattle, the greater majority OF the,
structures having been erected more with:
regard to strength than artistic beauty and
harmony in proportions.
But times are changing, and on the SOUTH
east corner OF Seventeenth and Franklin
streets Dir. L. Lichtenstein leads in happy
new departure from the style OF our sires
and grandsires in the erection OF build
| ing which, both in internal and external
finish, will compare favorably with any
building of a similar size in the city.
Mr.. Lichtenstein is one OF our oldest mer-
chants, and in his specially Of threads has
acquired more than local reputation. His
commendable effort to improve much
needed locality shows that he is perfectly
sane on more than one subject. The build

feet. In addition to this, there will be
wing on the southeastern extremity OF some
IA feet, extending nearly one half the
length OF the structure. The first floor will
be used as a store, the second and third
floors as 4 private residence, parlors, cham
bers, and sleeping-apartments, and the
wings as a kitchen and servants apart.
ments.
The house will be furnished with hot and
cold water, gas, bathrooms, an elevator, and
all other modern improvements, comforts,
and conveniences. The parlor and other
mantels, fre-places, &C., will be OF the most
elegant description. The front will be Of
the best stock-brick, and the windows Of
French-plate glass. The windows will be
fitted up with granite arches and sils.
The work is the design OF Captain 3. j.
Black, well-known architect Of this city.
The genera! contractor for the work is Mr.
S. G. Flournoy the brick-Work is being
done by MesSrs. Crump & Powers, the
plumbing, gas-itting, &c., by John Bowers,
and the painting by a. J. Vaughan. With
favorable weather Mr.. Lichtenstein hopes
to occupy the building about the last o!
April.
All the material used is Of the best de-
scription, and the house will be finished in
Il manner commensurate with its outer and
inner elegance.

down town witIIithe same object. During
Mr. jacobs absence the rabble from the
city--a set Of half drunken, half-starved peo-
pie, more inYuriated even than the convicts-
assembled and got possession Of the gates.
They came in to pillage. The convlcts
mingled with the rabble, and helped them
selves to the stores OF clothing and shoes

cob could do nothing but be the witnesses
Of excesses they could not prevent. The
convicts spread over the city, and COM

about eighty of them were recaptured.

LOCAL MATTERS.

TELEPHONE SoIREE-SWEET ACCORD BE.
TWEEN NORFOLK AND RICuMoND.--A most
interesting exhibition of the powers OF the
telephone was given yesterday evening at
the offices Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company in this city and in Norfolk.
Through the courtesy OF the managers here,
Messrs. j. W. Hates and X. NJ. j. Paynter,
members of the press were invited 10 wit
ness the experiment. An admirable quar-
tettc OF male voices kindly volunteered to
sing from Richmond, and at the office at
Norfolk, under the management OF Colonel
n. G. Pamplin, some OF the finest lady and
gentlemen singers had collected to add their
sweet voices to the telephone SoirSe, and
delightful music indeed did Norfolk chant
to Richmond. Writing from a one-sided
standpoint, it is impossible to make com.
pariSon between the efforts Of the two cities,
but il the ears OF Norfolk were gratiticd to
the extent OF those which drank in the mel
ody that floated through the 'phones here
they must have been we'll pleased. To Nor
folk, however, without comparison, must
be accorded the honor Of bearing off the
palm, because OF the sweet female voices
that lent their charms to her share in the
soirke. The following are the programmes
from both cities.
From NoJotE.-l. Solo, "Nancy Lee"
Mr.. Frank Craig. 2. Solo, Drinking Song
from Martha, Mr.. Warren G.. Elliott. 3.

From Richmond.-1. "Lovely Night"
quartette, Messrs. John D. Redford, Ed
ward Parham, William II. Grant, and Har-
vey Blair. 3. "Oh! Fond Dove, Oh! Fair
Dove" solo, Mr.. w. Ii. Grant. 3. "Iwo
Roses" by the quartette. 4. "Lost Pro-
scribed," duo from Martha, MessrS. Red
ford and Grant.
The working OF the instrument was very
successful, the songs and conversation COM
ing over the wires with great distinctness.
This, when it is considered that the distance
is 105 miles, is almost incredible.

RAYMOND AT THE THEATRE.-The comedy
of Risks; or, Insure Your Life" was pre-
sented at the Theatre last night by Mr..
John II. Raymond, supported by Miss Marie
Gordon and fairly good company. MIR.
Raymond's part was that OF an insurance
agent, 4 persistent but good-natured soul,
ready, in and out of season, to talk busi-
ness and to take policy. He makes the
character all that it is, and is irresistibly
amusing. Mr.. Raymond has made deep
study OF the worthy but not always
properly appreciated class Of fellow-citizens
whom he represented, and was satirical
without being odiously unjust. Miss Cor
don has considerable reputation; but her
part last night probably did not enable her to
exhibit the finest qualities with which she
is credited. Mrs. Charline Weidman as
Dorothy, an English sewiDg-girl, was first
rate. She never fails. cast her where you
please. The lady who personated Mrs.
Newton is also deserving OF praise.
The house was not large one, but it was
above the average. The piece was unknown
here, and it was only Mr. Raymond's repu-
tation which drew. Many insurance-men
were present. They enjoyed probably more
than any others the industrial endeayors OF
Mr.. RAYMOND rs the insurance agent. To-
night Mark Twain's greatest play, "Colonel
Mulberry Sellers" will be presented. II
will surely command a fine audience. 70.
morrow night "London Assurance" with
Mr.. RAYMOND as Mark Medde and Miss
Gordon as Lady Gay Spanker.
