A marked event of the year has the completion of the State Capitol, and Its occupancy by tho State officers.

The building has been so often described that we do not care to give a sketch of the building at tills time. CIIUKC'UES. Two church edifices have been com pleted in Topeka the past season. The Baptist Church, on VanBureii street, and one of the colored churches. The form was designed by a foreign architect, Mr, of Ottawa, but Topeka mechanlos have done nearly or quite all the work.

The stone work has all been done by Mullady Del rich, contractors this city. The church Is 51x84 on the ground, and Is divided Into a main audi ence room, a lecture room, rooms for in fantaud Bible classes, refectory, vestry, and a baptistery, The arrangements of the church are very complete. The United Brethren church in Ritchie's addition, Is not yet completed. Altera tions have been made within the year on Episcopal church. I1UILD1SO IN TOPKKA We had intended to give In our Issue this morning, a full and complste list of buildings erected lu Topeka during past yoar; but on examination, we found Topeka much larger than even the "oldest inhabitant" dreamed of.

Many houses were built by the owners, with the intervention of a contractor. carpenters and builders 0 the city have furnished us the following list, which Is as correct as our limited time allowed us to make it. The esti mates have been generally made by car penters, and are only approximate, It must not be supposed that this list represents the total amount of business done by our builders.

Program of J'ubUe Improvement. Wlint llit Hunkers and climiiM liuvn loiic. SPLENDID SHOWING. The year 1809 has been the moat pros- porous that Topeka has ever witnessed. Her Inereaso In population has not been less than two lliousiind souls, and every Uepnrtnient of Industry has kept, pace with tho iucroaso of population.

This niomlug we propose to notice a few of the many changes which our city has witnessed since Jan. 1st, 1809. RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS, One year ago the Kansas Pacific was our only lino of railroad. Within the year, the Atchison, Topekaand Santa Fo has been commenced and completed from Uils city to Burllngame. The river lias been spanned by a bridge costing $50,000, and the company have built a fine depot, engine and supply uouse.and other build ings, aud have given employment to many Topeka men In various capacities.

On tho other side of the river the Kansas Fnclflc has expended considerable money In Hide track, in enlarging the offices and providing for the constant Increase of business. OAS WORKS. Late In lho summer the Top ka Gas Co, was organized, and soon after com. menocd the erection of their works near the foot of Monroe street. A series of unavoidable hindrances have prevented the consummation so devoutly to be wished," the Illumination of our city, beyond the time first announced, but It Is confidently expected that tho first gas lights will be lit in Topeka, on this, the first night of J870.

The Company have, so far, expended without recelV' lug a cent in return, but we entertain no doubt that the enterprise which com monccd, and has carried on this will be suitably rewarded 1 SCHOOLS. The Record has never ceased lo keep the public posted on tho educational matters of Topeka. The progress of this great public Interest the past year has been truly gratifying. The rapid Increase of population has rendered It difficult for the Board of Education to provide suitable accomodations for the children. Two new school houses have been built within the year, and a founda tion is completed of a fine school build- lug, to cost $40,000.

At the opening of this edifiee, which Is expected to occur next August, Topoka will-at one step have-placed herself alongside the, most favored cities of lho State. TUB I'll ESS. uom or the newspapers liere may be said to have started within the year the ComWontoeallh taking its first start in May, and the Record taking a new start, enlarged and beautified, after the fire of April lust. In nothing has Topeka seen a greater advance during the year than In the typographical appear ance of her newspapers, A little crow ing is allowable on New Year's morn lng, and we are justified In pointing to the State Record as a favorable speci men of Topeka workmanship. The year has seen It Installed In new quarters, furnished with new material, and its close finds it seeking new fields conquer In 1870." CITY We have already alluded to therec-tion of the gas works, as they are really the property of a prlvato corporation.

We come now to speak of the work done tho city of Topoka. During tho year, eleven miles of side and cross walks have boen built at an expense of $30,000. For guttering and curbing, there has been expended For grading, bridg ing, ami ('inverting, tne city mm expended $8,000. This work has been accom plished without running the city Into dwbt. Topeka has learned the golden rule, "pay as you go." Her scrip Is at par, and the only thing resembling a debt banging over her is in the shape of 50,000 In 20 year four percent, bonds, having sixteen years to run THE BHIDOE.

We regret to say that the dawn of the New Year finds tha old pontocn bridge slill in position, but we have the conso lation of knowing that It will disappear long before the close of 1870. The new bridge Is rapidly approaching completion. During tho year 1809 $21,000 was expended in building the piers, Ac, and supointruettire to be built upon them cost more. TUB TAX ABLH PROPEBTV the city on the 1st day of March, 1808, was $1,200,000, and the valuation lho 1st of March, 1800 was $2,084,000. To-duy, the amount of taxable property, the lowest estimate, is 12,800,000.

VCWSVM or TOPEKA. The amount paid by any city for freights atTbrdi a safe Indication of its business. Our people have paid the Kansas Tacifio during the last year, for pounds of freight. The Atchlton, Topeka and Santa To rwd, during the six months It be a In operation, hag received for freight find passenger, $5,378, 01, and of stun, Topeka ba paid her full proportion.
