Anyone passing along Water street in the early part of the past summer would undoubtedly have noticed some old dilapidated and rather ancient looking buildings a short distance from the railway track on the south east side, but pass along there now and you would think Alladin had been around with his magic lamp and ring, so great a change has been wrought. But it was not so, for all has been accomplished by human hands, and day after day might have been seen the proprietor, Alexander Campbell, amid the heat, dust and debris pulling down the old structures that have stood there and done service the past sixty years, and to-day he has the proud satisfaction of beholding a tinned and in the centre is an iron kaai«mtaiM4 chimney which seems to be coming into use these days. It is a frame and covered on the outside the same as ths other buildings described, and tastily i painted. It stands with the side to the street and the main entrance is in the centre which upon entering is the winter kitchen and dining room ft at Gi7n«7ft^VhieldTa^ g Maggie (yReilly announces her inten-; Capt j.

In connection with this she n.a'its an important announcement. IF a chimney or flue catrh on fire, close all the windows and doors first, then hang a blanket in front of the grate to exclude all air. Water should never be poured down the chimney, as it spoils the carpets. Coarse salt thrown ! which I will endeavor to, describe, as it I may stimulate others to go and do like- * j wise. The main building is 24x30, two i stories high, with a wing standing paral- | lei, of one and a half stories in height, Pi»vxDENCsRivnOT B T«i t .oUd meats, ! ^ h hi P/o° fe d coverod with stxinglea. balloon frame, double boarded, double papered and clapboarded. In front and back of wing are verandas made even with the main building under the pro- jection of the roof. On the verandas nd portico over the front entrance are 40ets per quart, at Norton's. SHORTLY after four o'clock Sun- day morni ng a terrible accident occurred at the new C. P. R. bridge over the canal at Laohine, by which whole freight I down the flue is much better.

The stairway to the upper flat is situated in this room and at the hack underneath is the stairway to the cellar, which is tho sire of the building in which is a cistern, a very great convenience, and one I think I could appreciate as I would not have to be ordered to \bring in some water\ every little while. The kitchen is pro- vided with a sink and pump from the cistern and other modern conveniences. To the right is the parlor, 12x12 ft, and a bedroom -off that at the back. The upstairs is divided into two large bed- rooms. The woodwork is soft wood, grained in the kitchen and dining room, and painted white in the other rooms. Although it is not large it is a good comfortable and well built structure, and there is no reason why happiness may not prevail within its walls as if it were a castle. JAMES SUMMERS. On this same street Mr. James Sum- mers has erected, this past summer.quite a large heavy frame building 26x38 feet with Square roof two stories high, board- ed, papered and clapboarded to the same extent as the other mentioned buildings. The lower part^Mr. Summers uses as a wheelwright shop, where he busies himself at present in the con- trtifttfiilJL divided into three apartments, and as j they grow they are changed from one apartment to the other and when re- moved from the last one it is commonly ' nto a wagon which is backed up to the irest end of the pen the floor of which will be even with the wagon box, there- fore very convenient for loading and easy for Mr. hog, but he does not always appre- ciate these things from his inate stubborn- ness, he will do anything rather than what is wanted. I have seen a two legged kind of much the same disposi- tion, but this is wandering from my subject. Through the centre of the pen is a gutter which slopes to one end and the flooring slopes from each side of the gutter, therefore Mr. y~ '~~ - 1 J — and clean. As Mr. M of my visit was not at not find oat what the cost improvements were, but I find that the people generally want to keep that to themselves, for some reason.

It must have been dork, and no cue beard his cries if be ever cried out at all. Thanksgiving day was spent by large numbers of friends in searchiitK for the body, but there it no trace of it. An oar is missing from ths boat, which might be a clue but that has not been found. Mr. Me* Donald was a itralghtforwerd, honorable business man, and was beloved by all who knew hi in.

Off the dining room to the right is a bedroom. From the front entrance is a hallway, and ths stairway to the upper fiat, which is divided into bedroomSi.the front one being an extra large and pleasant room. The wood work is all of ash, oiled and varnished, and the walls and ceilings with rough plastering as it is the intention to paper both wails and ceilings. The building undoubtedly is well built as anyone may know when they are informed that Donald McKinnon was the builder, and if the ooeu|>ant don't take comfort it will be no fault of the conveniences, site, and merits ot ths building. JAMBS a. HMILUK'B COSY KKW norts. Near by Mr. McKay's stands the neat looking residence of Mr. James R Smillie. It* dimension* are 19x25 ft. one and a half stories high, built with stptei* tool an4 nrther » steeper pTlco than eomwou old style, Tto roof The eastern mow is 30x42 ft, and the western one 20x42, and with the space over the cow stable you may imagine what an amount of room there is for the be used (one of them) for a root cellar, box stalls or a cow hospital. The other portion is fitted up for cattle, and con- tains stanchions for forty head of large stock and for nine calves. The stan- chions are far enough away from the wall to allow of a pasea^e along in front i of the animals to distribute their food, which is passed down from the barn i floors by fourshutes. By drivings team I through the centre the manure is loaded \ and carried out to the fields daily. The ; barn is divided into two floors, 14 fee* | wide each, and into four mows of 18x42 j feet each, so from each floor there is an ! IS foot mow on each side. The frame is ! somewhat different from tho others, the j post supporting the pur line coming down ; to the floor, with an extra number of | beams and braces, which presents a very ( strong appearance. It is hardly neces-; sary to say that there is a hay fork, for : there would be no way, hardly, to get i LATCHES, KNOBS, HASPS, SCREWS, along without one. There are also sta-i — ••— • B»BI#%W Uil • ie ; tionary ladders for ascending the mows, i THE LENV/A IIISVBW* :1 f The entrance at present is only on the \ barn. There l a a wide passage way across the horse barn next to the main one 8 ft wide, where the Used is dropped in and fed to the horses in the same manner as in the cow stable. In the hone stable which is 16x30 ft, are five open single stalls and one box stall, then comes the carriage house 164x30 ft, ex- cept a small room for sundry articles. Between floors is over 9 ft and over head is of hi d i* a large place also lor the storage ot nay. dc. There is a hay fork in each of the barns. Take a look over the in- terior and see the heavy timbers, braces, 4tc., as being interwoven one into an- other that there must be strength and durability to last for ages. The \Ui Id ing was put up under the direction of Capt McKmnon, Dundee's h«*d architect, and the framing, by Donald, his brother, which it a guarantee of its being well done. A new pig pen has been erected f i b whic done. at the and h . w e westerl against pig pen y end o nther n has been er y end of the main barn another barn and stable d ft h fi hi h i and against another barn and st that was erected after the fire, which is on either tide.
