PROGRESS OF ACADEMY BUILDING.
Since our last, the frame of the building for the intended Academy in this city, was raised on the site heretofore fixed on in Burke-square. The timbers are of the best kind, and we have no doubt, when the work is finished, it will reflect credit on the contractor, Mr. John M. Goodloe. May the Institution meet with that liberal support which it certainly deserves, and prove (as we have no doubt it will) a blessing to the community, and more especially to the rising generation!
