In going through the prison yard yesterday, we
felt curious to know what progress was being

the second floor, while the portion, in which
are the cells, is up to the top of the fifth or
highest tier, and the center portion at the top of
the fourth. The front part in which will be the
tower will, when finished, according to the plans
shown is to be exceedingly handsome. The
facades are of new design, having a rather fiat
arch with peculiarly castelated appearing caps.
The main tower, to the top of the railing, will be
1O2 feet in heighth, the top part being finely pro-

third story of this part will be the library which
will be supplied with excellent selection of

making the grant of $780, 000 for the town of ten
years, as the $4,000 yearly grant would only

buildings whilst now they having a structure
that will last for century. Thanks to Senator
D. N. Sabin for the present efficient work.
