Nmv Post-Office.-*—The miserable , ,old apology for a Post-Office, which has so j long disgraced Central ia, will soon be among i•• ithe unpleasant remembrances of the past.If Solomon was here “in his glory,” he would take back his assertion about therebeing nothing new under the sun. We cannnow boast of a new post-office, and as neatand pretty, in every respect, as can be foundthis side of the “leading cities. It is aere lit to the city. The carpentering work,which evinces great skill and excellent taste,was done bv Harris, Pfeitfcr Co. The% .lettering of the boxes and drawers is the work T. J. Johnson, whose skill with the brush is so web known. It is a job of which he has just cause to feel proud. Gen. Grant has heard of our new post-office, and has “ signified his intention ” either to call and see it, or write somebody a letter, just to see how the establishment works.
