and cheered us in the midst Of much
harassing work naturally attendant OIL

Hard Cellar Digging. i.

John C. Lavery, contractor for dig.
ging cellars and grading streets, has just
finished digging twelve cellars for the
Mechanics Home Association on Rod
ney street between Shallcross and Low
erinp avenue. The cellars on an aver.
age were probably the hardest and most
difficult cellars to dig in the city. The
stone taken from the cellars was more
than sufficient to wall tho whole of them
there being nearly a hundred perch
more than they wanted.
Where there were not solid rocks, ths
ground was as solid as if cemented
together and was with the greatest dll'
ticulty it could be parted with picks.
Most contractors would have given
up the contract but Mr.. Layery
held on and picked away at it until hf
finished his work. He still has the yard.
