READABLE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM A C*ODER'CH "OLD BOY."
Wnyamin Allen, of Chicago, Writes in
Appreciation of J. J. Wright's Re-
cent Article in rhe Signal and
(wives Some Reminiscences of His
Own.
Mr. J. J. Wright, wbu, as our read
en will remember, contributed a rem-
iniscent article to The Signal a few
weeks ago, was greatly pleased to re-
ceive the following letter from Mr.
Benjamin Allen, of Chicago, a Gode-
rich "old boy" who. as many readers
of The Signal kuow, is the proprietor
of nue td the great commercial houses
of Chicago. a wholesale jewe'lery eo-
tablishment :
"Mr. J. J. Wright,
O -siert ch.
"My Deem Ma. WRIGHT.-Being a
reader of The Sig. I was muchSigrid.ln-
terested in the artirle by you to the
publication of the fah inst. You are
to be colon sate/tied on the occasion of
reat-hing your seventy-eighth birth -
lay, anti..also ori .your capacity of
writ cog so inter. sting a letter on his-
torical h..ppening..4 tlfty years back.
As • school boy 1 can remruiber many
of the occurrences and many of the
choract.rsas stated. If I ant correct
you opened the fit et telegraph office
in dude!ich in a little building
nppoeite the old Huron hotel. Life is
not so short as is often claimed, as
that seems ro be A long time ago. I
hope you will live long to cherish the
kindly memories of the past, and take
this opportunity to seed my tent
wishes. Yours sincerely,
"BENJAMIN ALLEN."
Mr. Wright„m acknowledging Mr.
Allen's Fetter suggested that be give
his permission for its publication in
The Signal, and Mr. Allen, complying,
added the following interesting ref-
erences:
' Judge Doyle as well as myself and
many others heard with regret of the
passing away of our old teacher and
kind friend John Haldane. which has
come to my knowledge only recently.
He was an amiable man of correct
poise of character, and a Christian
gentleman. It is forty-seven years
since i attended his school, but it has
been my privilege to meet him a pew
times in the interval in Toronto and
eleewbere. 1 entertained him at my
house in Chicago. i think in 1881, and
have a most ple•l.ant recollection of
his charmingt
mariners and gentle
presence. His great age may he
attributed to his humane disposition
and the quiet attitude taken in laily
Concerns.
I trust you will not cease noting
down such matte's as are recollected
regardin; the past history of the
town which has been your home ao
many years. 1t is a pleasant occupa-
tion.
I Am a member of the Chicago
Historical Society. which has a record
of the people and events of the city as
well asof the State of Illinois."

Toronto, May 23rd. -Tse annual
statement rat the Sterling Bank of
Canada, just issued, shows that this
conservative vet progressive young in-
stitution did very well hi its year's
operations. While up to the present
time not very mach has been beard
about the Sterling, still it hoe gone
along very quietly building around it-
self a very etrong chain of !ranches
throughout the Province of Ontario,
and bas alread rounded out its
oxganixaUion by hranchee in Montreal
and Winnipeg That its branches
must he well located is indicated from
the showing they were able to make
during the past year, when, as is
generally known. banking conditions,
more particularly in Ontario. were
somewhat unsettled. The Starling's
net profits for the yrar amounted to
1$W)1,82&00, equal to 10.25 per rent. on
ebe capirsl, which compares with
192(3$00 in the previous year and
164,141{.(10 in 1909. Out of the net
profits the sum of *47,025.00 wap a►.-

showed that, owing to tbe somewhat

had prevailed mor•* esp.eielly in
Ontrriu during the pest year, a gnat
measure of conservatism had bstee

THE TOWN HALL PLANS.
Outline of Architect Berclaj s Designs
for the Municipal Building.
The plane for the new town hall,
which were submitted by Arthur J.
Barclay, architect, and chosen by the
town council as worthy of the first
prise, call for • frontage on the pres-
ort site on Kart street of 132 feet, 8
inches. The front line of the main
building has been kept back T2 feet., d
inches from the present line of build-
ings, giving much architectural effect
and dignity. The front of the fire
hall is back slightly from the bee of
the main block rod is to the wart aide,
so that a good perspective view of the
maiy building may be had from the
Square at the opposite side nf the
atteet. The exterior of the building is
proposed to be of dark ted brick and
grey stone columns and trimmings.
All pitched roofs are to be slated and
the flat roofs covered with rubber
roofing. The interior of the building
is to he tuinished throughout with
Geo. gia pine. The town clerk'&.. treas-
urer's and collector's offices ..n the
first floor are readily accessible one to
another. UK the main hall a larg..
and well -lighted corridor is arranged,
giving ae..xsa to the Mayor's office,
the council chamber, the court room
and L►y;Wriest, making a simple, ecun•
ontical and well-balanced plan.

DR. DOUGALL
ON CHURCH UNION.

Paster of North Street Methodist Church
Tells Why He Favors IL
A LANDMARK GONE.
ITHE LATE EBENEZER WOODCOCK
AN OLD RESIDENT OF TOWN.
.r
Came to Canada to Live Six Months
and Made It Sixty Years -come In-
teresting Notes on His Lite Con-
tributed by a Friend.
The hand of'ath has removed a
most familiar figure in the town of
Goderich and the county of Huron, in
the person of Ebenezer Woodcock,
wbo passed away at Alexandra hospi-
tal Let Friday morning. Mr. Wood-
cock, although unknown to many of
the younger generation. Wan a man of
noteworthy character, and a friend o(
the deceased, who knew him well and
appreciated him, gives The Signal the
following sketch:
The deceased was born in the parish
of St Ieonard Shoreditch, London,
England, on May 19th, 1821, and thus
at the time of his death was over nine-
ty years' of age. At the age of four-
teen he was Apprenticed to (he Sta-
tioners' Company for a term of seven
years, in the establishment of McIn-
tosh & Co., off Fleet street. He was
the youngest member of h's family,
which eame originally frrm Wales
and settled in Kent in the fourteenth
century. The family had some distin-
guished members, among them the
Lord Mayor of London who, during
bis tetra of office in 1406, freed the
River Thames from tbe encroAch-
menta of the wealthy landowners.
These men had erected dams and
webs contrary to the charters of the
city. Many of the deceased's family
were identified with the cathedral
church of Canterbury and held livings
in Kent. Being of a delicate constitu-
tion, the late Mr. Woodcock found the
position of foreman in such an eatab-
lishmeot se that with which be was
connected too arduous or exacting,
and was advised to come to the back-
woods of Canada with the prospect of
living for six months, or a year at
most. Arriving in Canada. at Hamil-
ton, be and Mr. Tioie, ■fterwards a
schoolmaster here, walked to Gode-
rich, leaving tbeir baggage to he for-
warded by the carrier, Mr. Doyle.
He, however, micceeded only in bring-
ing it M 1A.• am Stratford, se the roads
thence were so submerged hat a boat
seemed • more feasible nt .le of con-
veyance than r wagon. This was in
the fall of 1847 and tbe trunks and
cases came up early in 1838. After A
short stay, during which bis health
was much improved, he went back to
n
England
t arrange tlnanctal matters
and [Dake arrangements foe bringing
out" a newspaper plant. He was ac- ,
compaoied on this 'lip by his broth• r,
wbo *48 an a^vumplished musician.
The newep *per. ala- ! was a losing in-
vestment, not fr. w lock of patronage,
but from the inability of the patrons
to give cash fur their papers, while
presses, paper, ink, and the many nec-
essaries ot a printing otHce had to be
paid for in coin of the realm. The
climate of Canada and the colonial
living seen[,' however, to have been
the meats of prolonging the six
months' lease of life to a period of
over sixty pearl., during which time
Mr. Woodcock was variously occu-
pied. A11 his life he was an "old
Tory," a reality on which you could
ay your fingers. "Conseryative" is a
mere name : the man who answers to
it today was something else yesterday
and may be something else tomorrow,
nor does be even know today very
clearly what he ' is. But the "old
Tory" never changed. The world --
his world -moral, political -might fall
to pieces. hitt he remained immov-
able. He was ttorn •Tory, he lived a
Tory, and he died a Tory. The patty.
the church and music were the three
engrossing subjects of his activities.
Apart from politica, his d'ieposiUon
was amiable and he would do much
for • friend. Although very much
failed for the last two or three year•-,
he bore the weight of his decades eel,.
His retentive memory was • store-
house of the sayings, doings and hap-
penings of the town in bygone days,
some of which may he saved from
oblivion by • record in the columns
of The Signal.
Mr. Woodt'ock is survived by his
widow and one daughter, who live at
Boulder. Colorado. The funeral of
the deceased took place last Saturday
morning. An appropriate funeral
service was conducted over the re-
mains by Rev. M. Turnbull in St.
George's church and the interment
was made in Maitland cemetery. The
pallbearers were E. N. Lewis, Capt.
Shephard, Jas. Mitchell and O. F.
Carey.
"I'll try to be sure that i am not op-
posing a movement that is right and
which comes from shove," This was
statement made by Rev. Qr. Dougall
last Sunday evening in Not th street
Methodist churnh, when he discussed
the question of church union and gave
reasons why he *min favor of it,.
His text was taken fro.n the six-
teenth'else of the tenth chapter of
John : "And other sheep 1 have,
which are not of this fold : them also
1 must bring, and the shill bear my
voice; and there shell be one fold and
onesbepbeed."
One thing which influenced bit. in
favor of union, the 'pester said, was
the way the widespreadthe rit of
union bad been aroused and strik-
ing argument. advanced in its behalf.
The idea came spontaneously from the
hears of the church People and the
proposition was a sudden and spon-
taneous movement towards such is
thing as they all believed in. He
cheract.eriz..t the world's pewee move-
ment as a similar one and something
that was not born yesterday. it was
not the striplings and the fervent
young fellows who had given birth to
the thought. it was those who had
given their life service to the church
with which they were connected.
continuing. the reverend gentleman
stated that if he considered Method-
ism and his own pettishness h, might
vote against church union. He dearly
loved Methodism and the name togs
•vert to him, hut there was some-
thing bigger than Methodism. The
greet truth. of the three religions
which it was proposed to unite were
eternal and they wooled he gathered
tosether and live nn There wits
nothing distinct and separate about
