art ud eoau memonea haant thy time k am pables like the ttxifs that ronnd them throng but not only was the old town tha scene of military bnstle and activity in these long gon days but in civil pursuits lbs sumo energy and industry was perceptible prominent among these was the niagara harbor and dock corapiny with its immense workshops ard ship wards at that day in the very zenith of their prosperity but loday alas a mass of unclaimed mini 1 this was long befoie tlia giaud trunv or great western railway bad crushed oat lake navigationand gigantic steamboats did the work of cartying freight and pas angers from hamilton toronto ni agara aud intermediate parts along the use to montreal and quebec these were halcyon days for the old borough town and the writer remeiubeta well when as a bif miergoiic coooty beat niagara with its 5000 inhabitants held its own aide by aide with far more pretentions places the dock yard is it was nsaall termed was at the time to hicb refeience- ia

religion replied gsorge aitd thus he was ever alter known as professor poor gsorge be waa called upon to stffer much perrecution frcm he eons of bchal by whom he was aurroanded aud who cared nothing for the fact that george waa a class leader and incal preacher and really strove to live a chriatun life which fact was certainly apparent to some of ill fellowwotkmen who accordingly gave him cedit for at least good lolsnuons hendersons position in the com- panya works was as keeper of tha general stores used in he shipyard especially such aa oakum pitch bolts cordage ipikss etc which he served out on demand in detail when not thus engaged he filled in the time in cleaning castings where the clink of his hammer might be heard keeping lime to some such old revival tefrain aa this is the way i long have songht aadtsoarned because x fonnd it dos he also had the receiving and storing of all the above supplies as tber wenj brought irom toronto or montreal and each day might have been seen with anxious eye on the wharf scanning ihe freight just loaded from he boat all ibis it might be noted george performed for the tint overly munifl ciant stipend of seventy five cents per day which fact insfgnificent as it appears has a bearing up jn the present succinct narrative on the day on which sergeant forbes and his special guard with the broad arrow marked ordnance track marched to the steamboat landing to receive the oipocted specie georgs beuderson with several dock yard drags waa also awaiting tha arrival of the 8teamr trantil from toionto with a large consignment of dock yard

passengers together with consider able confusion relative to baggage etc among the freight waa george hen dersons supplies and tle tegs ol specie on which sergeant fjrbes had fastened his eager eys these latter were quickly taken possession of by the military delsil who plaoing the kegs in the ordnance van proceeded with them to the goveinmeut depot at butlers bar- ticks whtre they weie safely stoied in the vaults while ge irge henderson and his gang loaded up their drays with the dockyard stores which were soon deposited in the varebouse on which george after seeing that his invoice was
