Grant's team a few days ago made a dash from McGowan's mill down Mill street and came tearing down with headlong impetunusity straight for McKechnie’s big window. As luck would have it em: cf the horses fell on the street and the grand smash of a team of horses through a plate glass window was just averted. Twice before an accident happened to this threatened window and on both occasions Lock Elvidgc was around, and strange enough this time he was in the store and saw the mad rush. We dont mean to insinu- ate Lock's presence is in any way responsible tor the threatened mishap. but Mekeehnie's won't be a bit sur- prised in future it the glass crack while Lock is around. A NARROW EscAPE.--To:day Wed: nesday. the river is in full flood, and while Messrs Hal-bottle and Blackwell Were removing flood gates at the dam they got into the raging ttood and are not likely soon to forget their expori: ence. Mr. llarhottle was lashed near enough a post to get hold of it till assist: ed Mr. Blackwell was not so fortunate. He was sucked right into the Rood and disappeared. His time had not yet Cottte however for he liohhed up again and was able to hold on to something till Adam Robertson waded out must deep and by stretching a pole succeeded in reselling him. As the lied of the river there iarorky there was danger of a fatal smash against rocks and we congratulate both on their narrow escape. An interesting wedding took place " the residence of Mr. Geo.

THE LATE GEORGE RUSSELL. SALE REGISTER- HUGH MACKAY, Auctioneer. itttrttrtt i The history of natural or rock cement (the product of an Impure lime. "tone, composed of lime, magnesia and clay in more or less definite proportions, jfound in the native state) extends hack nearly four thousand years to the time lot the Egyptians, and through the succeeding ages many substantial structures were erected therefrom, but it was not until 1824 that a man named Apudin. iof Leeds, Yorkshire, England, manufactured by mixing and treating marl and wlay in certain definite proportions . much superior quality of cement strongly resembling a stone much used at that time in building, which was quarried at ,1’ortland Bill, on the Cornish Coast. This he called Portland Cement and The industry in North America ls practically new.. ttnly a few years ago ull cement of this lintnre was imported from England and Germany. Gradually Ene. lish makers lost control and the German product became the standard. but to-day the Portland Cement manufactured in America outclasses the foreign product by fully 20 per cent. This is extremely gratifying to know. when the amount of technical skill required in making a high grade article is taken into consideration. The reason as given by our eminent chemists and engineers for the (inferiority of Amencan Portland Cement, lies not only in our superior raw material, but also in our modern improved method of manufacture. Nuturel or rock cements are lighter and weaker than Portland Elements because the natural condition: wxll not aiiow a proper mixture of the ingredients. was the origin of the name, which has now become inseparable from energetic artificial hydraulic cements. The quality of the cement depends greatly on the thorough admixture of the two materials. The Portland Cement manu- facturer has it in his power to control the proportions of the materials which he uses and renders it possible for him to make his products uniform. Careful attention to proportions and mixing and care in the matter of calcination will pro- duce it cement that seemingly leaves little to be desired. The chemical combin- rtrums and method of manufacture have been continually perfected, until to-day Portland Cement is regarded throuuhout the world a: tho best known building ma. terial, and one of the necessities in all modern conetruction. The mill site at Durham has a central location as regards the largest mar- kets, has firielags shipping facilities. and specie! advantages for transportation of the prodrct to all parts of the country hive already been secured from the transportation companies. This book is published for the purpose of bringing The National Portland Cement Co. before the people and inteiesting them in this enterprise. It will treat briefly the subject of Portland Cement, the quality and quantity of raw materials. and the factory to be constructed. It will also touch on modern adaptations in the use of cement. illustrating late developments, and suggesting in a plain, honest and sensible manner the future possibilities for the cement business. This Company offers a wonderful opportunity for investment. one that will equal or surpass in earning powers the great industries of the world, and one that Will be safe, sure and permanent. A careful Study of the whole question cannot result in anything but favorable and important deductions. and a conclusion that the greatest possible. benefit will be obtained by investors in this enterprise. The properties intended to be utilized by The National Portland Cement Co. consist of about eight hundred acres of marl and clay lands in the vicinity of Durham, Ont., a great deal of which is adVantageously located about two hundred feet above the level of the factory site. which renders it practicable to transport the material by means of the compressed air system. or otherwise, to the factory cheaply and conveniently, and numerous analyses show the de- posit to be of exceptional value and purity of quality, and fully equal, if not superior. to any known property in the world. The objects of The National Portland Cement 00.. Limited, as expressed by the Letters Patent, are to manufacture, buy, sell and otherwise deal in Port. land Cement, to own, purchase, or lease marl or cement and clay lands. develop- ing and dealing in cement properties. With their products. and such other things as may be necessary or convenient to its business. Rooms have been secured in the James Building, cor. King and Yonge St., i.

We? make no apology for again regretting that more of the stock has not been sub. ( ' scribed round here. True, much more has been subscribed than was even thought possible a year ago, but when such a fine dividend-paying concern is to; t, be established at our doors it seems unfortunate that more of the dividendal should not remain in the locality furnishing the raw material and the site.’ All the same we rejoice to have Clinton, Goderioh.
