From The Markda 1e Standard. 1 On Lot 17, of the Ninth Line of Euphrasia, there resides a \enei- 'able patriarch who, if he lives un- ;till next January, will attain h s one hundred and first year. Mr. {John Henning is his name, and lWhen we .111te11'1e11ed him the fiother day he said he 11 as in good ihealth, and suffering from no gphysical ills.

He recalls the sensation occasioned in his home by the enforced absence of his father, who in order to release other men for the field at Waterloo, was obliged to join the yeomanry. When his father re- turned he brought home a mus- ket, which his son John, the sub- ject of our sketch, shortly after- wards ruined in trying some orig- inal experiments, which he laugh- ingly described. When 16 or 17 years of age, he joined the Orange Order; so that will leave him an Orangeman of more than eighty years’ standing. At the age of 19 he left home to seek his fortune, and worked for several years in England and Scotland. In the lat- ter country he aided in building the great Caledonian railway from Edinboro’ to Carlisle. Subse- quently, he took to the sea, and worked not only with the fishing fleets around the coasts of the British Isles. but also upon the freighters which ran from Belfast to Dundee, and to many other ports in England and Scotland He speaks like an experienced seaman, who know something of tide and tempest, and he was the witness of the wreck of some noble vessels.
