AN 01;) LAND -MARE GONE.—Ode of
the old land -marks of about forty-five
years standing was demolished last.
week, when Mx .McLennan, of Loch-
alsh, tore down the old store and hotel
on front street and intends movingthe
timber, to his,horne for the purpose of
building an addition to:his-store there;
the land on which the building stood
has been purchased by Peter Clark, .of
this place. This building was pub up
by John Clark, of Hamilton; who kept,
store for.a number of years, having
charge also of the post -office, when Mr
McKay left the post -office was given
over to Wm. Gordon and John Whel-
don succeeded Mr McKay in the store
and run it for a number of years until
he failed in business; while here Mr
Wheldon also,had charge of an ashery.
Next came Mr N. McHatrdy (brother of
the. late J. H. -McHardy,. formerly of
Clinton) who was in neatness hare un-
til the time of his death. Afterwards
it was used a couple of times as a hotel,
but after that seemingly.failed to be of
much use for anything Unless one could
call it a "sparrow -rookery,' for, al-
though an imposing . building In its
day it had stood vacant a number of
years. Of the many who helped to.
raise the frame of this massive build-
ing but very few now remain, vividly
reminding us of the dissolution of all
things in this world, but "we know if
our earthly house of this tabernacle
were dissolved, we have a building of
God, an house not made with handle
eternal in the Heavens." . .

had recently resigned his pastorate so
that he might take a much needed
r est and recuperate his run-down con-
dition. He was absent front home for
a few days, returning on. Monday, -
when he took suddenly . and seriously
ill with stomach trouble, from which
he had' previously suffered. Every-
thing was done for him by lovirg and
willing hands, but he passed away on
Tuesday evening. Mn Henderson was
pastor of the Auburn and Carlow
Presbyterian churches for eight years,
previous to which he was pastor of the
Bayfield Presbyterian church. He
was at one time principal of Blyth pub-
lic school. He leaves a loving widow
but no family. The funeral was held
