next week. He has not yet decided
to what use to put the building.
The historical atlas and gazetteer

piled by the Central Publishing COM
pany, will be of inestimable value to

the work complete in every detail, and

ture into the upper stories. Many
changes have been made on the first

larger and more roomy than many
suppose. Partitions have been put
up and doorways cut through, and it
will be conveniently arranged.
