Pkehistoiuc—The opinion is. en­ tertained now by many men of sei* ence that the art of making artificial stone, for structural purposes is pre-* historic, and-that the pyramids were, in fact, built of artificial blocks manufactured from the surrounding plain. One would judge by the' large orders W. H. Cooper, of Clin­ ton, is receiving for artificial stone of his manufacture that he had soured the prehistoric secret. However this may be, whether Cooper makes his artificial stone on the pre or post- historic basis its durability will attest to coming generations its intrinsic worth.

HeI got jq,AlpeJia.Ri).d from thM’e.no- fur.t11er .trace of him could biyfound. Aft.er several months of anxious waiting by his friends without heir- •ing from hitn his brother-in-law, George Montgomery, was despatched to-Michigan to find out what had become of.Heuderson, Beyond find­ ing that his extra suit of clothe**,val ice etc, were at a saloon or hotel at which he had stayed and that lie had gone “to'see a jfriend,” no trace*of him could be- gleaned?‘ This hotel did not bear a very good .character, , -as persons who had stayed at it had been found drowned off tho (look in front of it. It was at once sui’inis*' ed that Henderson had met with foul play, as there are always about such places in lumbering centres sharpers "who 'will “spot” a 'stranger and relieve him “ of what spare-cash he happens to have, even if they have to resort to murder to accomp • iish their'object, and Henderson had a little money. The fact of Hender­ son leaving liis working clothes "bet hind him at the hotel showed, that he had not gone to the lumber woods nor was elsewhere employed, Weeks and months rolled bv arid yet no tid** itigs from “Jamie”, There was therefore nothing for his distracted parents and anxious frienlls to fall hack upon other than the assumption that be had been foully dealt with or had met with an accident. Such surmises have unfortunately proved too true, Mis friends here were in­ formed last week that the body of Jas, Henderson had been found, identified and buried at Alpena, Michigan. We are not informed if any stops will bo taken to inquire into the cause of his death.’ He, was « kind hearted, honest young man was “Jamie” and with, his many pierids wo deplore his untimely end.
