Kingston, April 20.-- (To the Edi- tor): With reference to the article in the Whig of the 18th inst. headed "Murney Tower," the following in- formation may be of interest to your readers fn helping them to visualize to some extent what the locality looked like close on a hundred years ago. Some years ago the writer was in- formed by the late John Moxon, mer- chant and stove manufacturer of Picton, that his birthplace and boy- hood home had been situated on the north section of what is now known as Macdonald park. 'Among his ear- liest recollections was that of stand- ing on the shore with his mother in the early thirties watching the ships and "Cherokee" break the ice in the spring. His father was a captain of dragoons and a but- cher, and held lease of the property from the military authorities. The house in which they lived was situ- ated between the present bathing pavilion and bandstand, a vacant house standing along the shore to- wards Emily street. Besides thesa there was a compound surrounded by tall pickets, with slaughter house and stables atta®hed, nearer to King street. There was also a garden with fruit trees and bashes. In the vicinity of the present band stand and on a line with foot of Bar rie street was a block house. The whole piece of land was surrounded with a rail fence with gateways lead- ing from King street. He sta'ed that a low stone wall divided the point of land, and on the south or smaller part was a small house occupied by 3 man named King. There were fruit trees in this section also. Towards the corner of King and Emily streets he said were a number of oak trees, and here gathered at different times Indians to whom blankets and other things were is- sued. The land now comprising the City park was used as an artillery parade grounds, and across this he went to school in the vicinity of | Sydemham street Methodist church, to what he termed 'the old line har- racks," where a Miss Mason taught the girls and a Mr. Hamilton the boys. He mentioned thers were a few small houses on the park side of Barrie street near King, while at the southerly corner of Kin: and Barrie lived Dr. Dean, and a Major Sadler, hefore coming to the Cunningham Lome. Going nor herly along the water front from the new Macdon- alé park was the home and grounds of the Murney family. Then came Bowers tannerys with what he ¢alled 'Tan Bark lane" (possibly now Sim- coe street). dividing this property from that on which stood the resi- dence of General Boonytastle on King street front (removed to make way for residence of M. Sullivan), and Molson's brewery on the water front. Mr. Moxon's father had lease of the property for life, but at his death it was transferred to his mo- ther, through efforts of General Bonnycastle and Sir Henry Smith, the rental being paid to a Mr. Prior of the militia department. The wi- dow held the same till surrendered to the government in preparation for the building of the present redoubt. He mentioned it as Murray tower, but later through deference to the Murney family it was called after them. --E. E. HORSEY. INSPECTION OF ROADS Will Be Postponed by the Heavy Snowstorm. At a meeting of the county good roads committee held on Saturday at the court house, it' was decided that the members of the committee would make an inspection ,of the road included in the good roads gystem on Tuesday morning and they would be in a position to de- cide what work would be underta- ken during the year. The inspec- tion will now have to be postponed on account of the heavy snow. James Seabrook of Seeley's Bay was awarded the contract to furnish the tractor for the stone crusher for the year. Mr. Seabrook's price was the lowest. Is Seeking Damages. C. W. Livingston, Toronto, son of Charles Livingston, Kingston, is counsel for plaintiff, Philip Faulf- ner, Toronto, who is suing Dr. John A.

At Gospel Hall on Sunday even- ing, one felt the truth of the words of Pierre Loti, French naval officer and literary genius, who Waid, '""Those who still bow before the feet of Christ are the only happy people on earth. They know nothing of the anguish of passing time, they go on their way confident and calm, they know nothing of the peril of coming extinction. In default of this faith could we but anchor our- selves to something, some hope, some immortality--but there is no- thing. Outside this ever-shining personality of the Christ everything is darkness," . So it seemed herp,, The hall was filled with radiant faces which spoke of having put Christ to the test of experience and found an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast. Mr. Jones' address, which dealt with the fundamental principles of salvation was extremely simple and earnest. Mr. Ernest Thomas' clos- ing message in song was most im- pressive. A Former Kingstonian Passes. Tidings have reached Middleville of the death at Vancouver, B.C., of Rev. BE. C. W.

Another Remand in Knowlton Case Two Tipplers Up. Albert Knowlton, who pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the theft of a bicycle in the police court on Saturday morning, came be- fore Magistrate Farrell on Monday morning and a further remand -was made in the case in order to give the accused time to make restitu- tion. Two tipplers were in the line-up and both admitted that they had been drinking extract of lemon. One stated that a fellow gave .him a mouthful of Jemon extract and that it made him dizzy. He said he was on his way to get a ham sandwich when a couple of police constables rounded him up. "I would not take any more of that stuff if I had a house filled with it," said the accused, who was taxed the usual $10 and costs. The other tippler did not make any kick about the "kick" in his extract of lemon, his only kick be- ing in the fine of $10 and costs. | IH ARNE CRS Despite the heavy snowstorm of Sunday there were no irregularities reported in marine circles and any boats that were out, landed safely, according to marine officials on Monday morning. There was some anxiety felt on Sunday for the Tree Line boats which left Kingston on Saturday but it was fearned that they had arrived at Port Colborne on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock without any mishap. The tug Donnelly went up to Col- lins Bay on Friday afternoon to draw a large dump scow belonging to Mr. A. M. Rankin off the ways in the marine gailway where it had been rebuilt during the winter. Or dinarily a ship will launch of its own accord but these ways are so con- structed that the craft has to be hauled into the water.
