Fraxxttxn Excixg Hovst.—The progress of this new structure seems to be jogging along, nevertheless, with weary moments to the comnpa- ny. This building was commenced in the early part of April last, making, upto the present time, over four months that it bas been in hand. The building is two stories high, containing two rooms and a passage. ‘The floors of the hall and mone? are at last laid, and the engine room | - Thus it is somewhat consoling that it rsa setublance of completion. There is yet the window sash to make, the staircase and stee- le to build, blinds or shutters, trimmings of loors and windows, plastering, painting and gla- zing, and of course cleaning out yet to do; sup- ng the latter items to take four months more, it will require in ail eight months, which is cer- tainly a very reasonable time in which to com- ene such a building, especially when done by jays’ work and paid for oF the General Govern- ment. The completion of the job will, no doubt, be a cheering event to the indomitable old time- honored FRANKLIN Company. We give place to the above communication, be- lieving that the delay complained of can be satix- factorily explained by those whose duty it is to see that the work is done.
