Tho plan worked splendidly, and what is remarkable in this case very few of tho brick were broken and nearly all wore cleaned of the mortar by the fall.

All of the walls aro to be brought tho same manner. Mr. Millikin witnessed the of the south wall this morning, and said it was the slickest job he ever saw, He regards Mr. Bramble as the right man in the right place, and is very much pleased with tho now plan of tearing down brick blocks. Monday twenty men will be put to work hauling tho brick away and piling hem up at somo distance from tho lot.

tousiderable progress will be made next veek in getting tho old material away, that the handsome new six-story tool building may go up, A Celebrated Trial. John H.
