A Large and Extensive Building,
On Tuesday last we paid .a visit to,
and were shown through Mr. R. Ir.
win's mammoth storehouse, situated at
the Grand Trunk station. This exten
sive building was erected during the
present season, to supply a want long
felt •uy Mr. Irwin, in the matter of
room for storFSig tii6'" grain. It is 90
feet long by 60 feet wide. and is four
stories high. In the lower fiat our at-
tention was first drawn to the large

bins, like the .8 divisions of a circle,, at
the centre of which runs the main ele-

deep in the. centre, each of. the bins
having a slant toward it. The main.
elevator is one hundred arida twenty-
6Ve feet long, having '$0 . cups .with a
capacity of three pounds each and
making two revolutions per minute.
The elevator is run by ' -horse power.
On the lower fiat we also noticed a set
of scales at each end of the building,
manufactured by the Buffalo.Soale Co,,
and put in, 'by'Mr. R.M. Macey.- Each
of these is a combination scale with
poises for wheat, barley and oats, and
with a tare beam for ,oddpounds,
weighing' from one to five hundred.
Any farmer unloading his grain can
put it all into the scale at once, either
of the poised can be toed according - to
the kind of grain,, and the tare beam.

will at once show'�,tbe weight of the

death of Miss Maggie McKay, who ; '
died on Saturday morning last after a
short illness: The•deoeased, wliowas

That tile. town of Clinton has. been
the most progressive and liveliest town.
in the west during the present season
everybody who has paid it a visit will
admit- Below we give a list of: the
buildings erectea or in course• of erec-
tion, and also the improvements made
daring the present season in our town.
'Thesei-mprovements have ` not been'
made through arty' wild • freak of 'ex-
citement orbuilding mania, but be-
cause the country is in a prosperous
condition, consequently our town is
prosperous and the buildings werere-
quired to supply the wants of the bus-
loess men: Some four or . five years
ago Clinton was spoken of ' as a dead
town, but since the N. P:• came into
force, our town has assumed .new life
and energy, and we can now boast • of.
having a real live, business centre.
Again,a number of them were required:
because of the increasing business, as
for instance :Doherty dry Co's organ
factory, and the addition to Cooper &•
McKenzie's plating factory. Following
we give theptatistics as far as can be
obtained .1
