It is thought they will have to g6 about 150 feet before they, strike the lead.

Another store is in course of erection, not far from the flax mill • iii fact, building appears to be the order, of the day in the township. Some of the houses are nice looking and commodious, but. others, however comfortable they may be inside,have an enlarged- sentry-box appearance about them, which, does not add to the beauty of the township. -, *
