 To the kindness and courtesy of James H. Clough, the architect, we are indebted for this graphic description of the new county buildings:
 The new jail buildings, erected to take the place of those burned last September, are now ready for occupancy. They are credit to the county, being substantial in construction, convenient in arrange ment and artistic in design, fitted with necessary and modern culinary arrange n ents, sanitary conveniences and heating facilities. The annex, 25x28, is of brick, two stories high. and connects the jailor's residence with the jail. The first story of the annex is divided into kitchen, pantry, two store rooms, stair case and railways leading up to second story and down to boiler room in basement. The second story contains the hospital, poor debtors room bath room and water closets, and convenient rooms for women prisoners. The basement contains the boilers for heating the entire buildings, including the jail, also large and ample room capable of storing 40 tons of coal. The outside walls and partition walls between the jail OTIS residence of the annex are of brick, to more thoroughly guard against fire, and the roof is covered with metal. The jailor's residence is of wood, standing in front of the annex and jail. extending 30 feet, 10 feet back of the front line of old hotel, and fronting 46 feet. The jailor's office, 12x14, is in the front south first story, and has a separate entrance from the southeast, on Jail-st. front. The back hall connects with the office and leads di- rect to the annex, opening into the dining room, directly back, and connecting with the office. The dining room is 16x17, with large bay window on the south. The main hall is to the left of the office in the Main-st. front, is 16x14, has a handsome story. To the left of the hall is the par Tor, 14x16, connecting with sitting room, 14x12, through large drapery openings. Between the sitting room and back hall, on the rear, is the iailors bedroom, con- meeting with both. The back hall has stairway leading to the bath room and chambers. The second story is divided into five commodious chambers, with clos cts, halls, bath room, etc. In the attic are two large sleeping rooms, halls and store rooms. The style of architecture is modern classic. The Main-st. front is broken with two story verandah, 7x16, the front door being from the verandah. The Jail-st. front is cut up by porch over office door, and bay window, first story, and covered balcony oyer bay. window in 2d story. Both Main and Jail l-st. fronts are broken by shingled gables, belts and hoods. The front hall is finished in black ash; the parlor, sitting room and three bed rooms in white wood, with light fin ish; the office, dining room and three bed rooms in imitation of cherry; the back halls, bath room, pantry and kitchen in hard pine. The entire work has been done by the day, and the county commis- sioners have spared no pains to have it of the best workmanship and material with in the appropriation. The plans were made and work executed under the gen. eral supervision of J. H. Clough, archi- tect. The mason work on,,t the annex was by MT. Newton of Rockville, the wood work by MT. Arnold.

 The Congregational church was very beautifully decorated on Sunday with Mowers and potted plants, in recognition of Easter Sunday, The services were very impressive, the choir singing appropriate selections, and the discourse by Rev. A. H. Post was an able and powerful one, holding the attention of large and ap- preciative audience. There was meeting at the town hall at 3 o'clock Sunday p. m., under the aus. pices of the seventh day Adventists. They have had several meetings last week ir the same place, and all quite we'll attend. ed, many attending who are not churcI goers.
