CONTRACT FOR PRINCIPAL'S HOUSE LET.
Mr. William Jones of this City has contracted to build the House for the Principal of the Raleigh Academy. We think this will be a handsome specimen of the chaste, elegant and correct style of building, and hope it will contribute somewhat to eradicate the Vandalism that so generally pervades our architecture. The House is to be completed in the course of the present year.
