In the counting room there will be several very handsome offices for the conducting of the business department of the Henacp, {including a room for the Superintendent ahd another for the shier, The counter will be very ental, le of marble and bi walnut, mounted with screens, as used in benks, &o.

Dressing rooms are on cach floor, and water brought tnto every section of the buliding. The accommodations in the ediior'al department, as in ail the others, are of a first class order.
