J. J. MASON,
(SUCCESSOR TO F. M. WILLSON,)
The compiler respectfully presents this the fifth edition of
the Hamilton Directory to the public, with the earnest hope
Accouplant, Insurance and General Agent, that it will meet with the same favor and consideration his
former efforts have received from the citizens of Hamilton.
No effort nor pains have been spared to make this edition,
011ietal Assignee, County of Wentworth, even in its mechanical appearance, equal to any similar
publication issued in the Dominion.
Office 3 King Street West, Few realize the labor and patience requisite to collect
together and arrange so much matter, and that from so
many different sources ; and for what few errors and omis-
HAMILTON, ONTARIO. sions may appear, the compiler would a.sk the indulgence of
his numerous patrons.
By referring to the indexes it will be found that in addition
to the usual Alphabetical and Classified Business Directories
this year, is given a Street Key or Directory, which it is
A. HAMILTON & CO., hoped will be of groat use to business men throughout the
city.
31Z, 3FIL.ir X ffl eir There is an increase of 351 names in the present edition
over that of 1868, and 709 names over that of 1867. This
Wholesale and Retail Dealers in shows that the city is increasing in population at an annual
rate ofabout 1800 to 2000, assuming five persons as the ave-
rage to each householder.
PATENT MEDICINES, PERFUMERY, The compiler desires to present his acknowledgements to
the secretaries of the various societies and other gentlemen
PAINTS, OILS, for the facilities afforded him, and kindness experienced at
their hands, in giving cheerfully every information at their

Varnighefft Colfers t command.

To the advertisers and subscribers his especial gratitude
is due, for the very liberal support they have given to the
DYESTUFFS, &C. enterprise.

Presbytery of York, and it was not till toward the end of 1836
that the Synod constituted the Presbytery of Hamilton, which
was to comprise the Niagara, London, (;ore, and Western dis-
tricts. Mr. Gale, seceded in 1844, and was succeeded in the
pastorate by the Rev. Alex. Mackid, who was inducted to the
congregation, in January, 1846. Mr. Mackid at the same time
also administered to Saltfleet, Dundas, and Anoaster. Mr.
.llackid demitted his charge in June, 1848, and accepted that of
Goderich.
In Uctober,1850, the Rev. Daniel Dlacnee, became the minister,
and after laboring in the province fbr three years, returned to
Scotland.-During the incumbency of these c.ergymen, the con-
gregation worshipped in the wooden structure which now stands
on Maiden Lane and Charles street, which had at various times
undergone enlargement.
In 1t553 the induction of the present minister, the Rev. Robt.
Burnet, took place, and shortly after the congregation agreed to
erect the present St. Andrew's Church on James street, The
foundation stone was laid in 1855 by John Young, Esq., Trustee
and Senior Elder of the churea. The erection was completed in
1857, and on the 8th of March of that year was opened by the
Rev. Dr. Mathieson, of Montreal, and the Rev. Professor Weir,
Queen's College, Kingstou.
The main portion of the building is of mountain stone, of plain
dressed work; the tower and spire, together with the doorways
and other ornamental portions are of Cleveland st.one, of smooth
finish. It is strengthcncd throuhout by massive buttressas,
which give a very substantial character to the exterior. The
principal entrance is from James street, bp a doorway of most el-
egant proportions, wrought in an elaborate manner, there is a
door also on either side. The spire is 198 feet from the level of
the siric-walk to the finale stone, and eight more to the top of the
vane. The tower is a handsome 'and lofry pile of masonry, taste-
fully ornamented with carved canopies and pinnacles. This por-
tion of the work was donc by Uco. Worthington, Esq. The

windows, glazed with diamond-shaped stained glass, imported ex-
pressly from Messrs. Chance and Sons, of Birmingham, except a
portion from the establishment of C. March, Esq., of Toronto.
The seats, both above and below are well arranged and convenient.
They are all grained, oak pattern, except the cappings which are
solid oak. The pulpit is very handsomely ornamented with carv-
ed wnrk. Two hot air furnaces are used to heat the building.
There is a large basement story under the whole, which is used
as a Sunday School-rootn.
The carpenter work was executed by Messrs. Simpson &.; Son, of
Hamilton. The painting by Mr. Robertson. The glazing by
Mr. Toms, and the plasteiing by Messrs. Mercer 8: McIver. The

Knox Church ((anada Presbyterian.) Corner of James and

Cannon streets. This is the oldest Presbyterian congregation in

the city. It was organized in the year 1833, under the name of
St. Andrew's Church, as a congregation of " the Presbyterian
Church in Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland."
Its first pastor was the Rev. Alex. Gale, who afterwards removed
to Toronto, and its first place of worship was a small building on
the site of the present St. Andrew's Church. The disruption in
Scotland in 1843 hsving been followed in July, 1844, by the dis-
ruption of the Synod in Canada and the formation of the Synod
of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, otherwise known as the
Free Church, Mr. Gale and the large majority of his congrega-
tion decided to connect themselves with the latter body. By this
act the congregation found their right to the place of worship dis-
puted, and to prevent interruption and litigation,they resolved in
November of the same year to abandon it. For a short tinte
they occupied the Secession Church and afterwards a Methodist
Church on John Street, through tha courtesy and kindness of the
Trustees of these congregations. Their present place of worship
Wa8 completed in the year 1846, and has since, during a period of
21 years, been occupied by the congregatLn, under the designa-
tion of Knox' Church. As then completed, it was a substantial
edifice of cut stone, in the Roman style of architecture, and capa-
ble of accomodating at least 800 persons. In the year 1847, Mr. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.
Gale removed to Toronto to resume the duties of his professorship
in Knox College, and the Rev. Ralph Robb was soon afterwards
settled over the congregation as his succA3sor. Mr. Robb was
removed by death in 1850, and the Rev. George Paxton Young
was called to be his successor. In 1853, Mr. Young removed to

Knox College. In the following year the Rev. Robert Irvine,

charge. It was now in a very flourishing condition, and the
church so full that it was deemed advisable for a number of fam-
ilies to separate from Knox Church and form a new congregation
The result was the organization of McNob street Presbyterian

A. B. Simpson, its present minister, was called to become its fifth
pastor. The congregation of Knox Church still continuing largo
and constantly increasing, it was resolved in the year 1856 to en-
large the Church by the addition of a large transverse wing, run-
ning across the whole eastern end. A commodious stone manse,
immediately adjoining the church and fronting on Cannon street
was erected at the same time. The valueof the whole church prop. ts.
erty is 825,000, and the church, as thus enlarged, is capable of' ac-
commodating not less than 1200 persons. The church has under-
gone a thorough renovation during the present year, including a
new pulpit, repainting of all the woodwork, frescoing the walls cia
and re-carpeting the aisles and platform. The ceiling is adorned,
and the building illuminated by two large reflectors of corrugated se
glass, which greatly enhance the whole effet of the light. Tho tTj

cost of the repairs was about $2000. The church was re-opened
on the 13th of May by Dr. John hall of New York, and is now
one of the most comfortable and commodious in the city. Al-
though it has passed through many changes and some trails, and
although its former members are to be found in al parts of this
country, and many of them in other churehes in this city, it is .._ _____.

this church has been removed and is now replaced by an elegant
stone edifice. In 1833, the year of the union of the Can-

54 NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODIOAL&

The Canada Christian ddvocate.-This paper was commenced
at Cobourg in 1845, the first number being issued on the second
of January of that year. It was started as a private enter-
prise by Revds. T. Webster and J. H. Leonard, but devoted to
the interests of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada.
It was purchased by the general conference of the church, and
removed to Hamilton in 1847; Rev. T. Webster, who had
edited the paper when tmder private control, being the first
editor appointed after it became church property. Mr. Web-
ster held the position until 1850, when Rev. G. Sheppard
received the appointment and occupied the editorial chair till
1858. At the general conference held that year, Rev. G. Abbs
was elected to fill the office, but resigned the year following,
when the Rev. S. Morrison was chosen to fill the place. Th:a
gentleman resigned in the spring of 1863, when Rev. G. Abbe,
the present incumbent, was again appointed. The Advocate,
though the property of the M. E. Church, is free from sectarian
bigotry, the great object being to make it a first-class religious
and family newspaper.
The Crafteman.-This is a monthly periodical conducted by
T. & R. White, and an able staff of contributors, printed at
the office of the Hamilton Spectator. It is devoted to the
diffusion of Masonic light and literature, for the improvement
of the craft and the advancement of the Order. It is now
ciosing its third volume, and since its commencement has met
(and deservedly) with unexampled success in Ontario and Que-
bec, as well as a very large circulation in the Maritime Pro-
vinces. A publication of this character had become a necessity
to the craft of Canada. Although many worthy and ex-
cellent magazines and other Masonic periodicals have been
and are still published in the United States, the craft in Can-
ada were desirous of having a publication of a home character.
This desideratum is obtained in the Craftsman. Its articles
are sound, conservative, entertaining and instructive, and its
pages are laden with the gems of Masonic literature and kin-
dred sciences, such matter as improves with time, and affords
healthy food for the minds of the craftsmen as well as others.
Terms, one dollar and fifty cents per annum.
The Hamilton Evening Times, which now ranks amoug the
most popular, flourishing and influential journals in Canada,
was established as a morning paper in January 1857, on the
basis of the Daily Banner. In February, 1860, it was changed
from a morning to an evening paper, under the editorial man-
