The Coburn Classical Institute building at
Waterville, now stands forth in all its beauty,
the stagings having been removed, but its
prettiest side is not in front. Its north and
south sides are much more agreeable to look
at though on its south side good view is
not had, owing to the uildings in its imme-
date vicinity. The building has hardly
elbow-room sufficient to show to advantage
on the side. The rough plastering of the
building is all done, and workmen are put
ting in the steam heating apparatus. OF
course it has occurred to those interested
that it will cost no small sum to keep this
building in running order.
