coal and wood carriers have become so ac-

A Very Old House.

A Very Old House.
The large brick mansion occupied by
Mr.. John j. Clark, on his farm near
Kcrshow & Chamberlin's Mills, about
two miles northeast of Pennington, was
built by Governor Reading, in 1760,
while this prosperous State was one of
the British colonies. 1t is brick struct-
ure, aud it stands there to-day as sound
and solid as when first erected 1913 years
ago. At the time this house was built
this section could have been but little
else than painless wilderness. The
brick used in it were brought over from
England, and MS may easily be imagined
much expense and trouble were involved
in getting them upon the spot where
they now stand. The inside work is of
yellow pine of first quality, not stick
of any other sort of timber being used.
That the masons in those early days
knew how to mix mortar so that it would
hold in its position is manifest from the
sound condition of the ceilings and walls
inside. They are SO hard that COM
mon nail cannot be driven into them.
The mortar in the brick walls is of the
same durable quality. Considering its
age this is wonderfully well preserved
house. With new roof it will probably
stand for century yet. There is no
sign of weakness or decay anywhere
about it, Just think of it; il stood there
FOR sixteen years before the Declaration
of Independence, and for twenty.three
years before the close Of the Revolution

that the notice of the hearing was not
