 One of the buildings recently erected on Commerce street, between Congress avenue and Temple street, is occupied by Mr. l.. Fl. Johnson, the horse shoer. Mir. Johnson has for several years carried on the horse shoeing business at No. 51 Whalley avenue and at No. 170 George street, near Temple street. The business which has been done at the George street shop will soon be transferred to the new and commodious building on Commerce street. The new building which was erected for MT. Johnson is we'll adapted to the horse shoeing business. for which pur- pose it was erected. The experiment. which Is tho blacksmith shop, where the four forges are located, is large, we'll lighted and can be thoroughly ventilated when necessary. It is evident that the ventilation will be all that is desired, especially in summer time when the warm air can pass up through the the large
 Another apartment, which is larger than the blacksmith shop, is for the accommoda- tion of horses and carriages that are at tho shop. Many wagons can remain under cover in the large room while horses are being shod, which will cause this apartment to bs appreciated by horse owners who will much prefer, on account of safety, to have their wagons in the building instead of in the street. Durirs. indictment weather this large experiment. will be much appreciated. The office of the building is conveniently located between the blacksmith shop and the larger experiment., and will be connected by telephone. Taking the premises altogeth- CT they are probably the best for the purpose iE the state.
 Mir. Johnson will continue to give the same personal attention to the horse shoeing in the new shop that he has in the past at his other places of business.
