He enlogised the valuable servicos rendered by Mr. Arjanee to the ponr tenders of the community by quietly getting selacrip tions for them from the more fortunate mem-

The facade is all of granite, richly scalp tured with allegorical and mystical devices, the only fault perhaps to be found with it being that it appears somewhat over-charged. Only the frent was of granite: the walls were massive structures of a kind of emerete. composed principally of ferruginous sand from decompus- ed granite, mixed with mud from the river and a little lime.
