it to the most popular man at the

We venture to assert that there is
not a more imposing and elegant
structure of its kind, from an out
side view, and certainly not a more
convenient or better arranged build
ing inside, in the whole state, than
our new courthouse. 1t is now fast
approaching its completion, and
will soon be so far finished as to
permit the clerks and other officers
of the courts to occupy their respect
i've apartments.
We took a walk the other day
through its wide and spacious corri-
doris and the two large court-rooms,
and were greatly pleased with the
appearance of the work SO far as it
has progressed. The ~plastering of
the walls and frescoed ceilings, as
done by Mr.. r.. W. Jackson and his
skilled corps of workmen, already
presents a beautiful, neat and well
f1nished appearance, and reflects
great credit upon This gentleman.
While the woodwork of the inte-
rior has not as yet sufficiently pro-
crossed for us to pass an opinion
upon it, we can safely say, as it is
being done by Messrs. CT. B. Wilson
& Co., that it will come up to the
highest style and grade Of work.
nanShip.
Mr.. Redman, the efficient super
ntendent of the contractors, de-
ierves great praise for-the care and
vatchfulness with which he has
attended to every detail of the cree
ion of the building. He has made
many friends here by his genial i,
manner and g~entlemanly deport- {
.ent, and we almost regret to see
he building completed, if we are to 6
ose him. :

Tnat Bad Rurglar Awnin.

During the past winter we have
frequently noticed i'm our columns
the antics of some persistent and
daring burglar, who seems to have
a passion for entering business
houses. Not over three weeks ago
we recounted the playful pranks of
one of these midnight providers in
crawling over the transom of Mr..
Tom Wenzler's place of business,
and supplying himself with a little
pocket change and a lot of the
fragrant weeds" and now we
have the reporters pleasure of
chrOnicling a similar visit to the
store-house Of Messrs. Kincannon,
Wood q Co., on last Tuesday night.
The thief entered the basement of
their house by raising the covering
of the coal-hole ON the sidewalk and
dropping below, where he made his
way to the steps leading to the
upper story, but here was met by a
strong door, which retarded his
progress. After failing to get into
the upper room, where all the
lighter goods are stored, he retraced
his steps, and undoing the bolts of
the back door, walked out, leaving
it open. Messrs. Kincannon, Wood
