Threk-fourtqs of tub rntibb fbopitb of the Society are divisible amongst the Life Policy Holders on the Profit Scale of Premiums. In consequence of the profits of the Guarantee Department (which show a large anndal increase), already more than paying the whole ex- penses of the management of the Society, Life Policy-holders are placed in a peculiarly advantageous position in respect of Bonuses, seeing that in addition to the unencumbered profits of the Life Business, they parti- cipate in the continuallv-increasing profits of the Guarantee also. Thus, persons assuring with this Society, not only pay a very low rate of pre- mium for Life Assurance, but get, in addition to thifee-fourths of the Life^ profits, three-fourths of the Ouaraitteg cdso— 'the two together being equal to, if not more than, the whole of the profits of the Life Business. In every case where a Life Assurance is effected in connection with the Guarantee, a considerable reduction in the rate of premium is made ; and as Policies of this description will be enhanced in value by their due proportion of Three-Fourths op the Profits of th^ Society, the Guar- antee Premium will in course of time cease altogether, and the payment of Life Assurance will cover both the risk of Guarantee and Life., m V- IS- >*, LIFE DEPARTMENT. *4 :% » %" This Society, from its peculiar constitution and the large amount of its income, from both Premiums and invested Capital, is in a position to transact Life Assurance business upon terms unusually favorable to As- surers. ■ All claims, Life or Guarantee, paid without reference to London.

It is bounded on the North by Georgian Bay, or Lake Manitou : East by the County of Siracoe ; South by the County of "Wellington ; and West by the County of Bruce. It contains seventeen townships, viz. : Artemisia, Bentinck, Collingwood, Derby, Egreraont, Euphrasia, Glenelg, Holland, Keppel, Melancthon, Normanby, Osprey, Proton, Sarawak, Sullivan, St. Vin- cent and Sydenham ; and boasts the largest inhabited area of any County in Upper Canada. It is in square miles, 2,321. This is a little larger than the State of Delaware, and about half the area of Connecticut, The population, by the Census of 1861, was 37,750 ; Grey standing, in this respect, thirteenth among the 42 Counties of Upper Canada. In 1851, the population was only 13,217, showing an increase of nearly 200 per cent, in 10 years. As however, the County was then very new, and being filled up with settlers taking up new lots, the same ratio cannot be expected to be maintained now. The population may be safely set down at the beginning of 1865, at 42,000 or 43,000. Of the 37,750 population in 1861, the natives of England are set down at 2,732 ; Scotland, 5,614 ; Ireland, 6,263 ; Canada, 21,398 ; other British Colonies, 248 ; United States, 590 ; other Countries, 891. Included in the above are 209 coloured persons. HISTORY. In 1833, the only inhabited portion of what is now the County of Grey, was the " Old Survey" of Melancthon, consisting of the Eastern four Concessions of that township. The Indians had " surrendered" to the Government the country as far West as the present line be- tween St. Vincent and Sydenham ; and the survey of a portion of the newly-acquired territory was taken in hand. During 1833, Col- 18 HISTORY. ■! i.\ Ijii ! i ' I 1 p-l ^1 1 ^m lingwood Township, then called " Alta," and St. Vincent, then called " Zero," were surveyed. St. Vincent was the earliest of the northern settlements. Euphrasia was surveyed in 1836. All the townships, as far West as the line above-mentioned, were included, at that day, in the County of Simcoe, and the Home District. The Townships in the Western half of the County were, when organized, attached to the County of Wellington. A line, starting from the N. W. corner of Garafraxa Township, bending at first N. W., so as to avoid the great swamps reported to lie at the head-waters of the Grand River, and then striking North to the waters of Owen's Sound, was run by Charles Rankin, Esq., D. S., now of Owen Sound, in the year 1837. This road has always been known in the Northern Townships as the " Garafraxa Road." In the County of Wellington it is known as the "Owen Sound Road." The breaking out of the Rebellion interrupted the surveys, and nothing more was dpne till 1 840. In that year, John McDon- ald, Esq., of Goderich, the Canada Company's Surveyor, was em- ployed to lay out a tier of lots on each side of the line. The line finally adopted by Mr. McDonald, somewhat diverged at certain points from Mr. Rankin's original line. The same year a considera- ble portion of the road was settled on the " Free-grant" principle, under James McNab and John Telfer, Esqrs., Agents, under the orders of Hon. R. B. Sullivan, then the head of the Crown Land Department. In 1848, the " Durham Road," a line leading directly across the County, East and West from Durham, was laid out, with " Free-grants," for settlement ; as also the " Toronto and Sydenham Road," a diagonal line running S. E. from Chatsworth to the limits of the County, through Holland, Artemisia and Melancthon, and touching portions of Glenelg and Proton. From these leading Roads the settlements soon extended to every portion of the Town- ships. On the organization of Grey into a County, the Eastern Townships were detached from Simcoe ; and for several years Grey consisted of fifteen Townships. The County Buildings were erected at Sydenham (now Owen Sound), in 1853. Further information respecting the various Townships, Villages, and leading roads, will be found under their appropriate headings. PHYSICAL FEATURES. 19 PHYSICAL FEATURES. It is a common complaint with immigrants, who have settled in the inland portions of Upper Canada, and seen but little of the coun- try, that the Province " has no fine scenery." Doubtless some por- tions of Upper Canada are tame — rather rich than romantic ; but the County of Grey is undeniably both rich and romantic. With some of the finest scenery in Upper Canada, as well as some of the most productive lands, it has claims to consideration which are becoming generally admitted. To the Tourist, who first sees its bays and head- lands from the deck of the Steamer coming from Collingwood, it presents a pleasing picture of woods and waters, fertile slopes, moun- tains and valleys. The geological formation belongs to the Upper Silurian, the limestone occasionally cropping out to the surface, or presenting cli£fs generally facing the N. E. or S. E., the rock having a backward dip toward Lake Huron. The limestone ridge of Niagara Falls, skirting the lake to Hamilton, and thence running Northward in the vicinity of Orangeville, comes out on Gedrgian Bay in the County of Grey, rising in altitude all the way, and pre- sents some bold landmarks to the mariner. From a distance, on Geoi^an Bay, three " Mountains " are conspicuously visible in the coast line of Grey ; the heights in rear of Cape Rich and Vail's Point at the entrance of Owen's Sound — the " St. Vincent Mountain" in rear of Meaford, dividing the valley of the Big Head River from the valley of the Beaver — and " Collingwood Mountain," in the Township of that name, dividing the valley of the Beaver from the area drained by the Nottawasaga. The latter ridge, more particu- larly designated as the Blue Mountains, attains the not insignificant altitude of 1,500 feet above the sea, or over 900 feet above the level of the lake. The Townships of St. Vincent, Euphrasia, Colling- wood and Artemisia, have most to show in the way of attractive scenery. The Blue Mountains are worth climbing, if it were but to enjoy the rugged picture of lake and forest scene from their summits. The valley of the Beaver river, from Heathcote fifteen or twenty miles up to Artemisia Falls, is, and will become more and more, one of the most beautiful valleys in Upper Canada. The view from St. Vincent " Mountain," a mile or two South of Meaford, is one of the w^ '"^™ 20 AGRICULTURE. most varied and lovely that can be imagined. A sail round the magnificent Inlet known as Owen's Sound, presents also some fine shore and island scenery. Nor are the environs of the various branches of the Saugeen in the Southern portion of the County, wanting in attractive scenery ; which every day is improving, as the country advances. The falls of the Beaver river at Eugenia, Glenelg fulls, Walters' falls in Holland, Inglis' falls in Derby, and Indian falls in Sarawak, are all beautiful objects, and much visited. And in a calm day there is not a more beautiful sail in the world than rounding into Colpoy's Bay, with the Indian islands on the right, and the settled slopes and wooded cliffs of Keppel on the left. I AGRICULTURE. The Agriculture which settlers are compelled to adopt in the bush is not of a kind to which Agricultural Science can very well adapt itself; though it is astonishing in how few years a settlement is cleared up, stumps got rid of, good fences built, improved dwellings and barns erected, and modern appliances to lessen labour one by one introduced. Many examples might be named, where ten years have changed an uninhabited forest to fine farms, with thrifty Canadian husbandry, improved implements, well-bred stock, w'th case and competence. The establishment of County and Township Agricul- ti.ral Societies has done much to promote farming interests ; and every year is produced, not only a larger quantity, but generally speaking a better quality of the various agricultural products. Ten or twelve years ago, 10,000 bushels of Spring Wheat was about the largest amount annually shipped from Owen Sound. Now the quan- tity is about 200,000 bushels. According to the Census Reports, the amount of Spring Wheat produced in Grey in 1860, was 718,148 bushels ; Fall Wheat, 43,731 bushels ; Barley, ..! 26,261 bushels ; Pease, 140,165 bushels ; Oats, 367,350 bushels ; Potatoes, 544,41 9 bushels ; Turnips, 1,022,915 bushels ; MANUFACTURES. St Hay, 20,884ton8; Wool, 58,1871bs.; Pork, 8,067 barrels ; to these figures, if correct at the time, it would be safe to add now 25 or 30 per cent. ; but from a careful comparison of the returns in other departments where data exist to judge by, we are led to believe these figures are considerably below the mark. The culture of Fall Wheat has been very much extended since the date of the census. MANUFACTURES. Manufactures are always slow to take root in a new County. The great requisites, motive power, capital, facility of obtaining raw mate- rial, and for exporting manufactured products, are seldom all found in conjunction in the newer parts of the country. In Grey, there is abundance of Water-power. Under their appropriate heads will be found descriptions of ten different Rivers, on every one of whicL are water-privileges more or less numerous and extensive. No County in Upper Canada exhibits more water-power in close proximity to navigable water, than Grey. And we note the fact that by far the larger portion of it is unemployed. The manufactures of Newstadt and Clarksburg have risen into importance during the last five years ; Mount Forest during the last eight years ; and within the last three years, iron manufacture in Owen Sound has, from comparative insignificance, attained its pre- sent proportions. The attention of the Manufacturer and the Capi- talist is requested, in the following pages, to the many openings for profitable enterprise, in the various Townships and Villages of the County. • * Saw-mills are numerous ; but being a hardwood County, Grey will never have any Lumber to export. Grist-mills are latterly greatly increastd in number ; and Merchant Flouring, for export, is becom- ing an important branch of manufacture, whose field of extension is almost limitless. Iron manufacture, from the facility of obtaining iron from Montreal and coal from Lake Erie, without transhipment, presents peculiar advantages. There are three important Foundriei? in Owen Sound, a very extensive one in Durham, beside three or . t li 'I iw 2m MUNICIPAL OFFICERS. four in other places. Wool manufacture might be profitably engaged in to ten times its present extent. Wool-growing in Gre7, as it will always prove itself in an upland, rolling, limestone country, is found to be a very profitable and successful branch of rural economy. Clarksburg takes the lead in woollen manufacture. There are seve- ral extensive Tanneries in the County ; and where hemlock bark and hides are so easily obtained, an article of such universal consumption as leather ought to be very largely manufactured. From the Census Report of 1861, we glean the following figures. They are without doubt much below the truth : but we give them in preference to giving no figures respecting the domestic manufactures of the County. The returns of "Mills and Manufactories" are so glaringly defective, that it would only be misleading the reader to introduce them. For instance, only four Grist and ^Flouring Mills are set down for the County, although it contained then about twenty ; only two Woollen Factories and Carding and Fulling Mills, although it could show seven or eight; no Foundries, although there were four or five ; and no Fanning-mill Factories, although there were two well-established Factories in Owen Sound alone. Distinct from the returns of Mills and Factories, we find the following figures : Fulled Cloth, 10,225 yards; Flannel, 43,731 yards; Flax and Hemp, 1,571 lbs. Maple Sugar, 194,117 lbs. Butter, 591,155 lbs. Cheese 37,441 lbs. i ,' Municipal Officers. — The County Municipal Officers are as follows: — Warden, William K. Flesher, Esq., (Artemisia, P. 0.) ; Co.

ARTEMISIA P. O. Since the Village has been laid out, the place is known as Fleshcr- ton, although the Post-office still retains its old name of Artemisia (see Fleshcrton). ARTEMISIA TOWNSHIP. Artemisia is a flourishing and well-settled Township, in the Eas- tern half of the County of Grey. Tn ISGl, its jiopulation was, by the census, 2,575, standing in this respect seventli among the town- ships of the County. In its general aspect Artemisia is somewhat uneven and hilly. Tho soil is pronounced very g(»od. The Nor- thern part of the township has a descent toward the Lake, dropping down toward Euphrasia and the valley of the Beaver; but the chief -nrr—ir 26 ARTMESIA TOWNSHIP. m i I II I ( part lies very high. The timber is chiefly maple and elm. Arte- misia was surveyed out into lots in 1849 and '50. In 1848 the " Toronto and Sydenham Road " was runout, as also the " Durham Road," and the next year the " Grant Lots " of 50 acres were laid out and apportioned to actual settlers. George Snider, Esq., late the Sheriif of Grey, acted as Agent in the settlement of these roads. After the lots belonging to these two Road systems were taken up, the rest of the township soon followed. For several years the set- tlers felt themselves at a great distance from markets ; but since the roads have been improved, and the trafiic set in toward the Northern Railway, they are able to realize within a very few cents the highest rate for all their produce. In common with most of the townships in the County, Artemisia has suffered somewhat from Spring and Autumn frosts. A much greater attention is now paid to the rais- ing of Fall Wheat than formerly. The indications at present are that it will supersede to a large extent the lately more precarious Spring Wheat. Artemisia contains three villages, Priceville, Flesh- erton and Eugenia. These will be found described in their proper We wish to correct an error in the orthography of the name ; an error which is apparently countenanced by the Post OflBce Depart- ment. The name is frequently spelled Artemesia. This is false spelling ; and like every other error, large or small, is worth correct- ing. The name is Artemisia — from her whose dev'otion to the memory of her husband Mausolus gave to the ancients and to us a new name in funereal Architecture. It is also the name of a plant — but it is never spelled Artemesia. A very large amount of the land in this township is yet unpatent- ed ; and as every man is described in the Assessment Rolls as a " Householder " only, who has not a deed ft-om the Crown, and none as " Freeholders " but those who live on patented lots, no useful purpose would be attained by following the distinctions thus made, here. It will be observed there are three systems of survey in the township— lots " South " of the " Durham Road," those " East" or " West " of the " Toronto and Sydenham Road," and those " North of the Durham Road ;" in the latter are included all the concessions not included in the other sections of the Assessment list. There are twelve School Sections in the township; and another, a " Union " Section, the other portion of which is in Glenelg. Of the twelve, ten have been in operation the past year. No. 1 [Union].

The Beaver is a beautiful stream falling in Georgian Bay at Thorn- bury, after a winding and rapid course of a little over forty miles. It is the most considerable river entirely within the limits of the County of Grey. It rises from springs, in Osprey, three or four miles East of Feversham, at which place it has become a strong mill stream, full of cascades, and running through canons in the lime- stone rock. After running westerly for about 15 miles, plunging over a precipice of 70 feet in Eugenia, it turns Southward through Artemisia, Euphrasia, and a portion of Collingwood, and discharges its waters into Georgian Bay. After the falls at Eugenia, and the rapids below, the river having left the high interior table-land, thence- forth pursues its way through a gradually widening and beautiful valley, known in its upper reaches as the " Cukoo Valley." This valley is one of the most noted resorts for anglers in Upper Canada, especially in the vicinity of and above Williamstown. The water is BENTINCK TOWNSHIP, 35 clear, the bottom generally hard, and brook trout abundant. The river is utilized for milling purposes at Feversham, Eugenia, Clarks- burg and Thornbury ; but at dozens of other points, the waters, now running waste, might be made equally useful. The Beaver des- cends, from its source to its mouth, about 1,000 feet. BENTINCK P. O. * The Post-office at Durham has continued to be called " Bentinck," though the village is known throughout the Province as Dvrham. It creates great confusion, as there are several other Post-offices in Bentinck township. The name of the P. 0. should have been changed to " Durham " years ago. [See Durham.^ BENTINCK TOWNSHIP. The Township of Bentinck is one of the best settled and most wealthy townships in the County. Its population in 1861 was 3,331 ; only Normatfby exceeding it in numbers. The present population will be about 4,000. It derives it name from the late lamented Lord George Bentinck ; and was surveyed as a township by John Stoughton Dennis, Esq., P.L.S., in 1850. The portion of the Dur- ham Road which passes through this township, had been surveyed in 1848 by Mr. Brough, and was already pi'itty well lined with the cabins of the locatees on the " Free Grants." Bentinck is exceed- ingly well watered by the Saup'een River and its numerous branches, and possesses a vast amount of watei; power ; but a small portion of which is as yet in use. The central and western parts of the township are good soil, and well situated. The Eastern part of the township is inclined to be a little hilly and stony ,except in the immediate vicinity of Durham, where are some fine farms. In the west, towards the Coun- ty-line of Bruce, the farms are yet very new, and much clearing is still to be done. The Garafraxa Road [gravel] passes from N. to S. on its Eastern limit ; and the Durham Road, also gravelled, passes through the Southern portion from west to east. Bentinck has no villages, except on its boundary limits, but contains two or three Post-offices, and several Grist and Saw Mills. As the latter are not distinguished, otherwise than in connection with the respective town- ships, we append a list of them : — DalglisKs Sawmill. — At the junction of the Rocky Saugeen vdth the main stream ; about 4 m. N. W. of Durham. The proprietor calls it "Junction Mill ;" the place is often called by the country people " The Crotches." McTavish^s Sawmill. — Lot 11, on 3rd Con. South of Durham Road.

This is Shallow B;iy [shallow in the sense of not running far into the land], between the two Inlets, Owen's Sound and Colpoy'sBay. It indent? the North Sliore of Keppel, and is four miles across from point to point. A line thus carried across would be from a mile to a inile and a half from the deepest recess of the Bay. -Just there, a mill stream debouche.'S into the Bay, and the new village of " North Keppel" is struggling into existence. ( See " N. Keppel") The Bay, though apparently well protected by GrifFeth's Island lying directly in front, is liable to be vexed with baf3ing winds and cur- rents setting in from two or three directions between the Islands ; and in former times it was not always possible to calculate the time a boat would take in getting past the Bay. Some of the earlier voyagers, vexed at these unwilling delays, gave the place the name of " Purgatory Bay." The name " Big Bay," is however that given by the Indians to it, and used by the settlers on its shores. BIG- HEAD RIVER. • This is a very pretty River, and deserves a better name than the rather rude oi.o it bears. A generation ago, the mouth of the river formed a .safe and convenient, shelter for the batteaux, which served nearly all the purposes of lake navigation for Surveyors, Explorers, and Traders. Some of these parties, camping for the time on its shores, found, washed out by the freshets, a skull of remarkably large pro- portions; probably belonging to some Indian warrior, whose fame i' IIH r! 1 i\ \i i m illl ;i !• 46 BURNOOtJRT MILLS. has missed reaching us. The river where the " big head" was found, or the " Big Head River," was from thenceforth the rather unpoeti- cal name of the stream. Its farthest source is in Holland near the Toronto Line, about 5 m. below Chatsworth. The South fork rises on Lot 7 or 8 in 12th Con. Holland, and runs through the village of Walter's Falls. The general course of the Big Head River is N. E. Its length is but little over 20 m. It turns various mills ; but might be made use of to a much larger extent than at present. This is also one of the trout streams of the region ; and certain favorite parts of ita course are well known to anglers. It falls into Georgian Bay at Meaford. It is unfortunate that its mouth is impeded by a sand- bar, so that it is of no value to shipping unless dredged out. BLANTYRE. A Post Office in the N. W. part of the Township of Euphrasia, about 6 m. from Griersville, 11 m. from Meaford, and 4 m. from Walter's Falls. James Patterson, Postmaster and General Merchant. There is also a Blacksmith shop at Blantyre. Mails Tuesdays and Saturdays from Griersville, Meaford, and Walter's Falls. BLUE MOUNTAINS. These are continuations of the Hamilton and Niagara formations ; and in the Township of Collingwood end abruptly in a steep wooded slope toward the lake. The altitude in the immediate vicinity of Georgian Bay, [in rear of McMillan's Hotel, 3 m. E. of Thornburyj, is 750 feet above the lake level. About 5 m. in rear of Craigleitn P. 0. and somewhat nearer Collingwood Harbor, the altitude is 900 feet. Large strstohes of table land are found upon their toyis. Be- low the limestone of which the Blue Mountaitis are composed, is found bituminous Shale, as under the cliff at Niagara Falls. A few years ago a Coal Oil Refinery was put in operation near Craigleith. Sume oil was made ; but the discovery of oil in Enniskillen so cheap- ened the article that it could not hold out against the competition, and was abandoned.

A Grist Mill, (one run of stones), and a Carding Mill built by and belonging to tho estate of the late John Wilson. Situated in the Township of Sydenham, about three-fourths of a mile from Leith Corners, and between six and seven from Owen Sound ; (on Lcw 30, Con. C. Sydenham.) CARSON S MILL. 47 CAPE RICH. A village situated on Georgian Bay, in the Township of St. Vincent; 10 m. from Menford, an*' 19m. from Owen Sound, by land. Population about 100. It contains a Post-office, two Coopers' shops, one Carpenter's shop, one Shoemaker's shop, and a Whnrf with Storehouse attached. In summer, the mail is daily, both ways, by Steamboat ; in winter, mail on Wednesday and Saturday, from Meaford only. The Steamer " Clifton" calls at 9 a.m. on her way from Owen Sound to Collingwood, and at 4 p. m. on her return, dur- ing the season of navigation. The principal interest in the village is the fii^hcries. Seven fishing boats are employed, belonging to as many different fishermen, and manned by two and sometimes three hands each. A number of extra hands are employed during the season, who are not considered as residents, and not included in our estimate of the population. As many as 1,200 banelfit of frcsl^ fish have been shipped to Collingwood in one season. In 1864, the number reached 800 barrels. Most of these were for the Toronto Market.' Navigable water is very close in on shore; and the wharf, though only 60 feet long, has, at the present low water 12 feet depth at the end. It is exposed to E. and N. E. winds, though protected from gales from other points of the compass. The absence o^' water- power has been adverse to the prosperity of the place, and it has been rather non-progressive for some years. Sabbath services are regularly held by the Baptist denomination, and occasionally by the Wesleyan Methodists. Brinan, John, Fisherman. Davis, Mrs. (widow Orris.) Kyfer, Richard, Fisherman. Knox, Wm.

A Grist and Sawmill, in the Township of St. Vincent, on the Shore of Georgian Bay, one mile W. of Cape Rich. It was built in the early days of the settlement — about the year 1842 ; and comprises , under one roof, the Gristing department and the Sawmill. Though the machinery is of a primitive description, the mill is a great conve- nience to the neighborhood. The Grist Mill has one run of stones. 48 CHATSWORTH.

A thriving village on the " Garafraxa Road," at the intersection of the Toronto and Sydenham Road, 9 miles south of Owen Sound, and 19 north of Durham. About the year 1842, a settler named CHAT8W0RTH. 49 3 residence of Coyer, built a log shanty, and called it a Tavern. He was succeeded by Devine, who dispensed such cheer as his house afforded, for some years. " Devine's" was reckoned the first stage from 0«ven Sound. It was the first house built in the settlement, and stood where Camp- bell's Tavern (occupied by G. Follis) stands now. In 1852, when the '* Toronto Line" was projected, Mr. S. II. Breese bought the lot at the intersection of the roads, and put up the " California House" which he still keeps open as a Hotel and Grcneral Store. The " Cali- fornia House" (so called by its proprietor, who is a returned Califor- nian), soon became a well-known point on the great northern road. Six or seven years ago, the Messrs. Deavitt, of Holland, laid out part of their property in village lots, and called the survey John- town. The Post Office is called Chatsworth; Henry Cardwell, Postmaster, We have no desire to enter into the merits of the dispute about the name of the village, but merely mention the fact of such a dispute. In fact there may be said to be two villages, but the public fail to recognize them as two. Chatsworth is the name re- cognized by the Post Office Department, but Johntown is the name generally known to the public. In the village arc a Post Office, " Stores, 3 Taverns, 3 Blacksmiths, 2 Waggon-makers, 3 Shoemakers, a Tannery, a Foundry, Saddler's, Tinsmiths' and Cooper's Shops, several Carpenters, a Town-Hall, 3 Churches, a Schoolhouse, 2 resi- dent Clergymt i, and a physician. Population, 170. About 7 years ago, the place began to grow ; but nearly all the improvements made are the work of the last 3 or 4 years. The 3 churches, Presbyterian, .N. C. Methodist, and Iloman Catholic, arc each of wood and somewhat handsomely built. The Townhall, built in 1864, will seat about 250. It is used for Courts and public , buildings, and on Sabbath for public worship by the Wesleyan Methodists. The Foundry was established in 18G3, and is growing in importance monthly. The village plot is partly in Holland, and partly in Sullivan. Mails daily, north and south; and down the Toronto line on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Also on Saturday to Massie P.O. and Marmion P.O.

In the old maps, and in others which, though not old, are care- lessly got up, is a line of road from the Garafraxa Road, near where Johntown now stands, in a diagonal direction to Southampton. Such a line was at one time contemplated, and actually surveyed (at least as far as the County Line of Bruce). Nothing more, however, was done with it ; and when Sullivan was surveyed, IMr. Rankin — who surveyed the northern part of it — was directed to pull up the stakes and make a square survey of the township. But, though communication was not needed between Southampton town plot and the centre of the County of Grey, communication was still needed with Owen Sound and the navigation of Georgian Bay. An attempt was made a dozen years ago to get a direct road opened out between the two towns, and the Indiann were induced to cede a half-mile strip adjoining the northern limit of Derby and Arran. Whether it was that the land on this strip got mainly into the hands of absentees and speculators, or that the crossing of the Aux Sable and the Saugeen Rivers became too formidable an undertaking, or both, we cannot CLARKSBURG* 61 say. The toad, however, as a thoroughfare betweeu the two points, was not opened out. In the meantime, Derby had become well settled, and Arran had filled up with inhabitants ; and the main leading road through Derby, known as the Centre Eoad, became the stage road and thoroughfare. It runs directly across the centre of Derby, westward to the County line. It crosses the Garafraxa lload at " llockford Castle," 4 m. S. of Owen Sound ; though the stage generally turns off two or three miles before reaching the Garafraxa Eoad, and comes down the valley of the Sydenham River. The most noted point .on the road is Sloan's Hotel, near the centre of the township. The place is now called Kilsyth. This road was laid out by the Government as a ** Colonization Road," and presents some admirable specimens of first-class causewaying. (See O.S. and Saugeen Road and Kilsyth.) CLARKSBURG-. It is now some years since W. J. Marsh, Esq., took up 400 acres of wild land adjoining the northern boundary of the town-plot of Thornbury; with a roaring stream pursuing its headlong way through his domain. In 1856 he settled on his land. Thornbury then contained a Grist and Saw Mill, and a few houses. In 1859, W. A. Clark purchased of him a water privilege on the Beaver River, with 95 acres of land attached. Mr. Clark made immediate preparations for building his woollen mills, and a residence for him- self. Ill 1860, John Tyson came in, and purchased of Mr. Clark water-privilege and land for a flouring mill. The flouring mill was » put in operation in January, 1861, and the woollen factory in October of the same year. The parties who owned the ground ad- joining,— W. T. Marsh, W. ^ Clark, and A. J. Whitney, — offered every facility to parties wishing to settle in the new village ; and soon Stores, Inns, and Mechanics' Shops began to make their ap- pearance in the new village, as yet without a name. The inhabitant.s wished it called Clarksville, after the enterprising proprietor of the Woollen Works; but tlio P.O. authorities seem of late years to have set their faces against any more villes, and so they compromised the matter by establishing a P.O. under the name of Clarksburg. At first it was merely a sub-oflBice in connexion with Thornbury, but for a year past it has been independent, and receives daily mails from Colling wood. Clarksburg is a little over a mile from Georgian Bay, having only the town-plot of Thornbury (a square block of 900 acre^ between it and the shore. The population is nearly 200. The whole place, as it stands, is the result of four years' enterprise. It is fortunate for the present and future interests of the village, that its " chief men THE NORTHERN WOOLLEN MILLS, CLARKSBURG, C.W., ARE MANUPACTPRINO CLOTHS, FLi^LlSriSrELS.

'•iq,',,y;S?wr , CLARKSBURG. 53 EL83 ;g, may rely "or ESSING and fathers" are men of such stability of character, enterprise and perseverance. The "Northern Woollen Mills."— W. A. Clark, Esq., Proprietor, — were, as already stated, put in operation in 1861. They are in- tended for two sets of manufacturing machines ; and will work up, when all completed, 80,000 lbs. wool per annum. The main build- ing, which is four-and-a-half storeys high, stands 34 m 62 feet on the ground. A Sheepskin Factory is attached, finished in 1864. At present the pelts are exported in pickle to the United States ; but Mr. Clark intends, as soon as arrangements to that end can be com- pleted, to have them dressed on the premises. About 20 hands are employed in the various departments of the works. Custom carding and fulling is likewise attended to. Tweeds, fulled cloths, beaver cloths, blankets, flannels, &c., are all manufactured, and are now known all over the Province. Mr. Clark has filled some very large orders during the last two years, for Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton wholesale houses. For this trade, his twilled scarlet flannels and checks are in special request. The establishment of the Northern Woollen Mills has greatly stimulated the growth of wool in the county. The " Beaver Valley Mills" are the property of John Tyson, Esq., and form one of the chief establishments in the village. The build- ing is of wood, neatly painted, and in its various flat.M affords ample storage for grain. There are three run of stones. Flour to a large amount is manufactured at these extensive mills. There are 3 Stores, -1 comfortable Hotels, 2 Shoemakers, a shop for custom Spinning and Weaving, 1 Harness shop, 2 Waggon shops, a F'.acksmith, Tailor, Cooper, Tinsmith, and several Carpenters. The Potash works of Mr. B. J. Marsh, were erected last year. There is no church precisely tn the village, the English Churjh being just within the townplot of Thornbury, though answering for both vil- lages, which indeed are likely ere long to grow into one. An ex- cellent school is in operation. There is an excellent opening in Clcrksburg for both a Foundry and a Tannery. These wants will no doubt, be soon supplied. There is a spare water privilege above the mills, and ?,wo privileges below, where the whole volume of the Beaver River could be made available ; and at least 3 other privileges in the village, supplied from the surplus water, which is very abundant, averaging about half the force of the stream. Clarksburg is in the township of Collin^wood, 1 m. N. of Thorn- bury ; 14 m. N. W. of Collingwood Harbor ; 8 m. S. E. ofMea- ford; and 28 m. E, S. E. of Owen Sound. 54 CLARKSBURG.

It is astonishing how far distant, thirty years ago, the shores of Georgian Bay seemed from the settled portions of Upper Canada. Up Yonge Street to Holland Landing, down the sluggish Holland River, and northward across Lake Siracoe to Orillia ; across the country some twenty miles to Coldwater; then batteaux (in after days a steamer once a week) from Sturgeon Bay coastwise along Georgian Bay to any of the new and struggling settlements on its shores. The opening of the Northern Railway in the winter of 1854-5, put a new face upon matters. Up to that time the north- ern pa-- '^f Grey had been comparatively isolated. Penetanguishene and sou. -^ < on the southern shores of the romantic inlet upon which if ;, were the only settlements on the waters of Georgian Buy. Penetanguishene was a Naval Stntioii as far back as the war of 1812. Looking across, then, at a distance of 20_mile.s, from the strait between the Christian Islands and the shores of Tiny, CoUing- wood Mountain must have loomed up in silent and forbidding grandeur. But the spirit of progress, (and the wants of speculators ! ) are never satisfled. The settlements had reached Barrie; audit was desirable to extend the surveys northwesterly ; especially as there were a great many floating " U. E. Rights" still to locate. People in the present day can scarcely have an idea of the persistence of the speculators in lands and land scrip before the Union. No sooner was a township surveyed than a shoal of these speculators pounced upon it, and secured the best portions of it ; and being, many of them, in the Upper Canada Parliament, they managed to get the " actual settlement" clause in the grants modified or set aside, in their particular cases. To a considerable extent CoUingwood was acquired by absentees, under U. E. and other land scrip. As men- tioned in another place, the Government had bought up the Indian title to the lands as far west us the perpendicular line between St. Vincent and Sydenham ; in fact us far west as the old limits of the County of Simcoe. Mr. Rankin, now of Owen Sound, was employed to survey two townships on Georgian Bay. There was then no Col- 56 COLLINGWOOD TOWNfiHIP. lingwood Town, with its low water-margin, Railway Elevator, dark background of cedar, and sentinel Lighthouse ; no farms and fields smoothed out of the shaggy shoulders of the mountain ; no Meaford nestling in the elbow of the Bight of St. Vincent, with its cultivated slopes in rear, and tenace-like farms extendi g down to Cape Rich — nothing but the rude unbroken forest. In the eastern portion, good land was found on the top of the mountain; and as for the western half, it may i be sot down as pretty good land, and sufficiently well situated ; tailing down toward the valley of the Beaver River, or occupying its bottom. An incident of the survey is worth preserv- ing. Chief Wahbatick, of the Ojibways, now an infirm old man of 70 or 80, at Cape Croker, called upon Mr. Rankin, and ordered the Surveying party to desist, and leave "his land." Mr. Rankin reasoned with him ; showing him that the Government did not pro- fess to claim the land further west than A'^ail's Point, but that up to that headland they had bought out tho Indian rights. Wahbatick had probably never consented to the transfer ; as, in after years, when no longer considered as a Chiefj he dissented from the surrender of tlio Saugecn Peninsula to Lord Bury. Be this as it may, he threat- ened the party; but having implicit faith in his "Great Father" at York, Sir John Colborne, the Lieut. Governor of Upper Canada, he would first try peaceful means. He departed ; and within the short space of about ten days re-appeared, having been, by canoe and on foot, to York (Toronto) in the meantime. The clerks at the Crown Land Office had imposed on the fiery little Chief, and giving him a paper which they asserted would cause all unauthorized trespassers to decamp, got rid of him. The paper was but a printed handbill, '- Lands for Sale;" and this he had carried, carefully folded, in his bosom, all the way from York. He "served it" upon Mr. Rankin with all due importance; but seeing no immediate effect, grew confi- dential, and admitting ho was '^ huckatae," (hungry), got something to eat and drink, and made peace with tho party. Tho surveying party came across in boats from Penetanguishe" v, which, durin;_' the season was their "base of supplies." The " Bhie Mountains" were then considered so far away and so forbidding, that some apprehensions were felt for the nafety of the party — from Indians, wild beasts, and distance from civilization. Thy Naval Lieutenant in command was extremely delight ' to see tho party safely return at the close of the season. When the plans were all sent in, th' new Township was called by the (^lovcrnor " Alta," from the great Height oF land within it. Capt. Moberly, a retired Naval officer, drawing his grant of land in the Township, disliked tho name "Alta," nnd prevailed on Sir John Colborno to change it to "CoUingArood," as well as the other Town- r >\ CENSUS RETURNS. 57 "Zero," to " St. Vincent," after those two Naval ship from heroes. The natural outlet of the traffic of the eastern half of Collingwood is down the Beaver Valley to Clarksburg and Thornbury ; while the Western or fountain half of the Township find their market and outlet Westerly toward Collingwood Town and the Villages and Sta- tions of Nottawasaga. Hence there are two interests in the Town- ship, almost as distinct as if there were two Townships. The Council meet somewhat centrally in the Township, and try to reconcile these conflicting interests as best they can. There arc three Villages in Collingwood; Thornbury, Clarksburg and Williamstown [Heathcote]. The Township is rapidly improv- ing and filling up, as may be evidenced by the fact that the number of acres held in 18G4 is 14,000 more than in 1860. A pleasing i'eature in the statistics of this Township is that by the Census reports, it raised half as much Fall Wheat in 1860 as all the rest of the County. The injury to the Spring Wheat by summer frosts has forced the farmers to thi* experiment; but independently of that, it is found to be fully as re.iiunerative a crop under all circumstances, and is now being increa.ungly cultivated throughout the County. The soil is generally clay, through the Township of Collingwood. The Owen Sound and Collingwood Gravel Road runs along the Shore, across the front of the Township, and forms an excellent commercial outlet. Were a wharf erected at Thornbury as at Mea- ford, and the Owen Sound and Collingwood Steamer making daily calls, it would be still better. This is an improvement which the future must provide. Trout anglers in the Beaver take up their quarters in one ot the throe villages above-named, as taste or convenience decide. Deer- hunters make their head-quarters at Milligan's Hotel, at the foot of the Mountain, 4 m. E. of Thornbury. 3Iany a deer is tracked round and round the Mountain by the hounds, and finally shot in Milligan's clearing, or overtaken in the waters of Georgian Bay, to which in their desperation they often betake themselves.

A beautiful Bay washing the northernmost part of the County, and an arm of Georgian Bay, named after a pilot in the exploring expedition of Capt. W. F. W. Owen, R. N., at which time the shore of Georgian Bay was an uninhabited wilderness, with the solitary exception of Penetanguishene and immediate neighbourhood. Col- poy's Bay has the Township of Keppel on the South, the Township of Albemarle on the North, and the Town-plot of Wiarton at its Western end. It opens out North-easterly into the Lake, having White Cloud Island lying directly in its mouth. Further out, like the second cordon of a blockading squadron, lie Griffeth's Island and Hay Island ; in such order that when within the Bay, the view of the open lake is entirely obstructed, and the shelter is complete. The Bay is of great depth ; nine miles long, from White Cloud Island to the head of the Bay, (Wiarton is as yet only a " Town" on paper), and has no shoals, sand-bars nor rocks to obstruct the navigation. As the visitor enters the Bay both shores are guarded by a high pre- cipitous ridge of rugged limestone, a short distance back from the shore, that on the N. W. side being the highest and most irregular. These ridges, lessen down toward the head of the Bay ; in fact almost disappearing. On the Southern shore, for two miles before reaching the head of the Bay, a beautiful succession of improving farms is presented. This was formerly an Indian Reserve, but given up and sold some three years ago. Here we find a P. 0. lately established for the convenience of the settlers — " Oxenden P. 0." The mail from Owen Sound is carried across by boat to " Colpoy's Bay" P. 0. directly opposite, (1|- m. across), in the Township of Albemarle, and County of Bruce. In the latter vicinity are also some good farms. Colpoy's Bay is a favorite resort for summer pic-nic parties by Steamer, from Owen Sound. The two Post-offices above named are 30 m. from Owen Sound, by water. In former years all communi- cation with Colpoy's Bay was by coasting in boats. Lately the .:;*^^ if ' iiii » k CRAWFORD. County line has been opened out, and Owen Sound is brought 10 ni. nearer. From Colpoy's Bay across to Lake Huron is only 7 ni. CORNABUSS. A Post Village in the N. E. corner of the Township of Glenelg, on the Toronto and Sydenham Road, 26 m. from Owen Sound, 17 m. from Johntown, and 6 m. N. W. of Flesherton. In the village are 3 stores, a Post-ofl&ce, an Episcopal Church, a Wagon-maker, Shoe- maker, Carpenter, 2 Blacksmiths, and a tavern. A large quantity of wheat and other grain is purchased in the winter. Messrs, Mc- Farland and Reynolds are General Dealers; Mr. Van Felsen confines himself principally to Drugs and Medicines. Mails on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Flesherton and Johntown. The Post-office was formerly known as " East Glenelg ;" but last year, tlie name " Corn- abus" was given by the P. 0. Department.

'■4-.^ ^:y DERBY TOWNSHIP. 65 CUCKOO VALLEY. The name popularly bestowed upon the upper part of the valley of the Beaver River. This valley commences as a narrow gorge between limestone precipices at the bottom of Eugenia Falls, but soon widens out into very respectable proportions. On the east side of the valley, the Collingwood or Blue Mountains slope down with a descent of sometimes two or three miles, as yet chiefly covered with wood. The Western slope is more abrupt, and apparently less elevated. The river pursues a pretty swift course through cedar swamps and partially-cleared farms, toward Georgian Bay. The valley, including the slopes, is frequently three to five miles in width. The time is coming when this valley will be ( ic of the most attractive spots in Upper Canada. The attempt was made, two or three years ago, by some of the residents at its upper end, (o call it " Queen's Valley;" but the old name is likely to remain, not- withstanding this expressed desire. The Cuckoo Valley is a. noteti resort for anglers. (See also " Beaver River.") DAYWOOD. A Post-office in the Township of Sydenham, on the " Lake Shr «i Line;" 8 m. from Owen Sound.

As elsewhere stated, the Government had, in 1833, when the survey of St. Vincent and Collingwood was taken in hand, acquired by treaty with the Ojibway Indians, the Eastern portion of the pre- sent county of Grey. In 1836, the Government, by another treaty, acquired the remainder of the county of Grey as far north as the original Northern limits of Derby. Though a part of Owen Sound town was surveyed in 1840, and the township of Sju "i ^am wholly completed in 1842 and '43, it was not till 1846 that J • ay was sur- veyed. It was named after the late Lord Derby, the father of the present Earl. It is scarcely as large a township as some of the others, its distance from North to South being so.aewhat less. The number of acres assessed in 1864, is 40,147. Derby lies in the N.W. of the county, being bounded N. by Keppel, E. by Sydenham, S. by Sullivan, and W. by Arran. Its general aspect is even. There are large tracts of pretty level and very good land in Derby. In the East, toward the Garafraxa Road, especially between that road and the Sydenham River, is a very stony tract. West of that, some places show a friable, sandy soil; but more generally clay. 5 66 SCHOOLS. Timber, maple, beech, elm, and ash. There may be said to be no oak, but there is a good deal of pine in several of the cedar swamps. These latter prevail to some extent in the vicinity of the Pottawatamie River, There are few better townships to be found, as a whole, than Derby, whether we consider sol, timber, convenience to market, or enterprise of the settlers. There is an air of thrift about the appearance of most of the farms in the concessions, not by any means universal in the county. The population has considerably increased since the Census was taken, many new settlers having come into the Township. There are on the Roll for 1864, 320 resident Householders. Taking the very safe " Rule of Five," we find these would represent a population of 1,600. In 1861, the population is given as 1,243. There are no villages in Derby, except Kilsyth, which is now beginning to be considered as a " village." There are two Post-offices — Kilsyth and Alvanley. Some years ago, an addi- tion was made to the Township by the " Half-mile Strip" being added to its Northern side. — (See " Centre Road, Derby." Mills.-There are two Grist Mills— "Derby Mills." and " Inglis' Mills"; Five Sawmills, viz.: Coulter's Sawmill, on Centre Road, on a branch of the Pottawatamie, 5 m. from Owen Sound— Jones' Saw- mill at the Falls of the Pottawatamie, on *he Gravel Road, 2 ro. West of Owen Sound — Ingiis' Sawmill — Herriman's Sawmill, on Centre Road, 3 m. from Owen Sound, on the Sydenham River, 3 m. from Owen Sound — and Cross' Sawmill, on the Sydenham River, below Inglis', 2J- m. from Owen Sound.

It stretched across the Southern part of the Townships of Osprey, Ar- temisia, Glenelg and Bentinck, from Nottawasaga Westward. Nor did it stop at the limits of this County ; for the same survey was continued through the Township of Brant ; and, after meeting the diagonal survey of the " Elora Road" at the S. W. corner of the latter Township, continued its way, at first West, then N. W. to Kincardine on Lake Huron. The lots on this Road were " free- grants," and from 1849 it may be said to have been fully settled. The portion oJ' it from Durham Eastward, was surveyed by the late David Gibson, Esq., P. L. S. In common with other Roads laid out by Govermient for Colonization purposes, it follows to some degree the inequalities of the country, while preserving its general course. From Durham to Collingwood is about 50 miles. Durham lies prin- cipally on very high ground, on the right bank of the Saugeen, and the road Eastward follows the ridge for 1^ miles, then takes an elbow Southward, crosses the Saugeen, and continues Eastward on lower ground. At 3^ m. from Durham is McArthur's tavern, an \ . Black- smith's shop. The place 1:- sometimes called " Pringlevillc. The Gravel Road is now found u quarter mile or more South of the origi- nal " Durham Road," avoiding thereby a range of hills over which the line luns. When it comes out on the straight line again, the traveller finds himself 5 ni. from Di.i ^m. We have just passed a smiill wayside Inn (Mrs. Black's), and sec on or left a small Church belonging to the Canada Presbyterians. As v»i enter Price- villo, (10 m. from Durham), we find the Gravel Road has again made a ditour to the South, and passes through the village not only oflF the line, but with a zig-zag to humour the ground, and save cutting. fW DRUGGISTS, SEEDSMEIi AND WINE MERCHANTS, OWEN SOUND, DURHAM & GOKERICH, DEALlvKS rS' Pure Drugs and Chemicals, Perfumery ?ind Patent Hedicines, Oils, Paints, Varnishes, Dye-Btuifs and Colours, Canadian and Pennsylva^na Cioal Oil; Lamps, &c., WIHES, LianORS, TEAS, COFFEES ' - jvtij. DURHAM. 73 \T, Pkase and There is good Hotel aooommodation at Prioeville, though there is none on the way thither. Here the Road, instead of going Eastward on its old course, turns oflf N. E. toward Flesherton and Maxwell, crossing the Toronto and Sydenham Koad at the former place. There are no Hot^els till we get to Flesherton, and the 5 miles between the places is found to be pretty hilly. A Gravel Eoud in these regions does not necessarily involve deep cuttings and easy grades. Contrast the Road with what it was, and be thankful for what you have got, especially as it costs you nothing in tolls ! From the village of Flesherton it is three or four miles to the next tavern (T. Mun- shaw's), then another mile and a half to Miller's tavern ; and about :{ m. farther to the village of Maxwell, in Osprey. We are now going East through the centre of Osprey, in a beautiful and level country, 3 or 4 m. North of the real " Durham Road." Therv<^ is one Hotel at Maxwell, new and commodious. From thence we go about 7 m. East on a straight and beautiful road, to the County line of Simcoe. We are now in sight of Singhampton, and only ^ m. S. of it. Wo turn North on the County line, put up comfortably at Singhampton, and when we go on again toward Bowmore and Collingwood Har- bour (the latter 13 m. from Singhampton), we find we are out of the County of Grey, and have lost our Gravel Road.

Proceeding Westward from Durham toward Walkerton and Kincar- dine, on the " Durham Road," now gravelled as far as the County Line at Hanover, we descend from the high upland on which Durham is situated, and when about three-fourths of a mile distant, cross the. Sau- geen, which here takes a considerable bend to the North. After re- ceiving the " Rocky Saugeen," it bends more Southward, and we shall see it again. Another three-fourths of a mile brings uh to a high ridge and a deep cut on the road, immediately after passing which a beau- tiful piece of woods, about a mile long, opens up, with the road through it as straight as an arrow, cut out fifty yards or more wide. We observe an unusual amount of pino in this tra'=!)s, &c. Average attendance for 1864, 39. . S No. 6. William Reid, Teacher. House, log. Furnished wi*h Maps, &c. Average attendance for 1864, 24. S.

The number of acres on the Assessment Roll — " Resident" and "Non-resident," is 73,296. The value of Real Estate in the Township, is set down, (under the curious system prevailing in the County, of assessing at one-fourth the market value), at $226,364. Say one million of dollars. The return of Personal Property ($6,200), is so utterly worthless, that it does not even furnish us with data for an estimate. In Egremont there are twenty-two Concessions. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd, are parallel to the Garafraxa Road; the 4th to 22nd, inclu- live, lie from East to West ; the 4th being on the Southern line of the Township, and the 22nd on its Northern limit. In the eight Townships forming the Southern two tiers in Grey, the Cdaoos- sions run East and West, and are numbered from the South. In t^o Northern half of' the County the Concessions lie North and .: juth, and are numbered generally from the East. As in Egre- mont all are set down as " Housoholders" who have not yet obtained their patents from Government ; we have omitted the distinction made in the Rolls between "Freeholder" and "Householder" — it would be invidious here.

A town plot in the township of Artemisia, at the Falls of the Beaver River, 4^ m. from Flesherton, 20 m. S. of Meaford, 26 m. from ColUngwood by present route, and 35 from Owen Sound. In August, 1858, Messrs. Purdy commenced operations in Eugenia. A house was run up, a small clearing made, ko, near the brink of the Falls. The saw-mill was built in 1859, and the flouring-mill put in operation in 1860. The town plot consists of 800 acres. None of it except the mill plot is yet sold by the Government. A few in- habitants have taken possession of town or park lots, and some improvements have been made. In 1864, the Municipal Council of Artemisia memorialized the Crown Land Department in favour of selling the lots in Eugenia and Prioeville. The people of Eugenia opposed it, as far as their town was concerned, and the " Depart- teUOENIA. 9» ment '* took their view of the subject. Residents giving the County Grown Land Agent satisfactory proof of having built on the town lots, or n^ade improvements to a specified extent on the Park lots, are allowed to purchase them of the Government at fixed reasonable rates. The inhabitants think this \b more to the interest of the village than having the town plot sold by auction, as in the latter case a large pro- portion would get into the hands of absentees. The place has now outgrown its first difficulties ; mills have been built, a village site cleared, roads to some extent opened out — and a steady growth may reasonably be anticipated. The place was surveyed nine or ten years ago, during the Crimean War, and the names of the " streets," Alma, Balaklava, Raglan, Codrington, &c., bear witness to the exciting interest of the time. The village contains a Postroffice and store, a tavern, three or four carpenters, a grist mill, a saw-mill, a plasterer, a painter, a boot and shoemaker, &c. There are two first-class water privileges, not in use, above the Falls, in the town plot, besides the rapids below the Falls, and the Falls themselves, which latter, it is hoped, may be long unvexed with labouring wheels, to give pleasure to the lovers of the picturesque, the grand and the beautiful. The Grist Mill is 45 x by 35 ft , 3^ stories high, contains two run of stones, and water power and room for more. The River is very swift, and the water abundant, and " no dam " is required. The mill is a very short distance above the brink of the Falls. The saw- mill is a little further up. At another excellent water-privilege, a quarter of a mile above, the frame of a Woollen Factory was erected, but has not been finished. El)!'"" Thomas, Boot and Shoemaker.

' ** Mails on Tueadaya and Saturdays, to and from Flesherton, on " Toronto and Sydenham" Gravel Road. 1 M. \ 96 EUGENIA FALU. EUGENIA FALLS. The feature for which Eugenia is most noted and oftenest visited, is the far-famed Falls of the Beaver Kiver, known as " Artemisia" or "Eugenia" Falls. The River, a very considerable stream of clear cold water, plunges over a precipice of 70 feet, in one unbroken sweep. The view, especially from below, is sublime. The rocks are precipit- ous on either side, and on the Southern side a steep hill rises from the brink to a considerable height above the falls. The descent into the wild ravine below is attended with some difficulty. We were unable, on the occasion of our last visit, to make the descent, being in mid-winter. The cataract shot out, from under a jagged curtain of blue ice, and disappeared in the huge crater of a rising ice-cone that had crept up one-third the height of the falls. All was silent, majestic, and most beautiful. Adventurous visitors in summer some- times go behind the sheet of falling waters, but it is an operation attended with difficulty, at times rather dangerous, from the blinding and stifling force of the spray. The fall is much visited, and will amply repay a day's journey to see it. The best route from Owen Sound is by the Toronto and Sydenham Gravel Road to Flesherton. Eugenia is two miles from the nearest point on the Gravel Road, which would be three; miles East of Flesherton. From Collingwood, the route would be via Southampton ana Maxwell. In either case, the best return route is by the descent of the Beaver River Valley to Meaford. The magni- ficence of the view will more than compensate for the newer and rougher road.' R. McLean, Purdy, Esq., the courteous Postmaster at Eugenia, exhibits in his Store the antlers of an immense Moose, found in a chasm of the rock below the falls. The animal had probably fallen into a snow-covered chasm, and perished by wolves or hunger. From tip to tip the antlers would measure when uninjured (^nc is com- plete), 4 ft. 8 in. The whole weighs, with one antler mostly gone, and the lower jaw wanting, 16^ lbs., or about 30 lbs. when complete. The unbroken antler has, for the length of 16 inches, a breadth of 8 inches on its "flat" ; in other words a piece 16 « 8 inches might be sawn out of one Jiorn. Mr. Purdy also shows the curious visitor, some specimens of the " Fools' Gold" of 185*2 ; and '* thereby hangs a tale." In 1852, when the country was very new and wild, some- body thought ho had discovered gold in the rocks below the falls. The secret at first was known only to two or three, or at most half a dozen ; and they wrought like beavers to make their *♦ pile" before the whole country should come flocking to the diggings, and the Gov- ernment interfere with their free mining. But " murder will out," and rumours of gold seem carried by the very air; and it was not i>'-^ EUPHRASIA TOWNSHIP. 97 many days till another prospecting party discovered them from the brink of the precipice, hard at work in the chasm. Seeing they were discovered, they laid down their picks, and held a parley. The new-comers were anxious to be assured that it was the " real stuff," being a little doubtful on that point. "AVell." said the old man, wiping the sweat from his brow, and sittinj:^ down on a very respectable pile of the purest and most glittering " rooks" he had been able to find. " Well, if it's gold^ I've got enough ! and if it is'nt gold, I've got enough ! One adventurous waggon-maker, from the County of York, happening to be in the r^on, made a rush with the rest to the diggings, and soon departed homeward, several days' journey through woods and bush- roads, with u back-breaking load in a bag. All the way home he was revolving what use to make of his wealth. He decided on selling his shop,buying and stocking a good farm, and living in com- fort the rest of his days. He got home, and before he slept kindled up his forge fire to melt down a little of the precious stuff. The catastrophe was entirely unanticipated. The sulphurious fumes and horrible stench of the vile stuff choked him, and well nigh drove him out of the premises. The harder he blew, the more horrible became the stifling fumes, till in despair he pitched the whole lot into the street ! He had carried home a back-load of worthless iron pyrites / EUPHRASIA TOWNSHIP. A township in the Northeastern part of the County of Grey. It is South of St. Vincent, West of CoUingwood, North of Artemisia, and East of Holland. Its N. E. corner comes to within about 2 in. of Georgian Bay. None of the County gravel roads touch Euphra- sia, though the improved roads pass very near its N. E. and S. W. corners. St. Vincent was sui-veyed in 1 834 ; and in a fow years a desire was felt to have the lands South of it opened up for settle- ment. The speculators, also mentioned in connection with CoUing- wood Township, desired to have Euphrasia surveyed, but they did not get hold of it, as they did of CoUingwood. Mr. Rankin was the Surveyor. Euphrasia is becoming well settled throughout. The Southern part is pretty new, but most of the lots are occupied. The soil is generally clay. Timber, hardwood — maple, elm, &c. Pine is scarce, and oak is only met with at rare points. The Northern and Western parts of the Township are high upland. The Beaver River enters Euphrasia about the middle of it« South line, and goes out near the N. B. corner, forming a broad valley, with j. mile or two of slope on each side. This valley and its slopes take up about one- third of the township. There are very few townships in which sucli distant views can be obtained as in Euphrasia. From certain points 7 J? 98 SCHOOLS. almost the whole township can be seen. There is not much stone, though some, in certain localities. Euphrasia contains 72,000 acres, and (in 1861) 1,472 inhabitants. There are no villages ii the township. Post Offlces.— Blantyre and Epping. Churches.— Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (frame), on "Fourth Line," one mile S. of Griersville. Another Wesleyan Chapel (frame) on the same Line, near Epping P. 0.

Siaw Mills.— In the South end of the township, 5|f m. from Eu- genia, on " 4th Line," is a Sawmill, lately erected, the property of William Purdy, of Eugenia. In the same neighbourhood, on 5th Concession, is a Sawmill be- longing to Mr. John Hurlburt. , George Beid's Sawmill is on Lot 25, in 7th Concession. ,,' There are no flouring or other mills. Census Reports.— In 1861 the number of occupiers of land is set down at 245.

Situated in the Township of Bentinck, at the mouth of a small stream that falls into the Saugeen, less than a mile East of Allan Park P.O., on tlie North side of the Durham Road. The Mills consist of a Grist Mill, with one run of stones, and a Sawmill. The Sawmill is said to be one of the best in the County. Fensom, John, Proprietor Grist and Sawmills. Fcnsom (Messrs. Richard, George and James), Lessees of Mills. FEVERSHAM. A thriving little village in the Township of Osprey, a little N.W. of the centre of the township, situated on the upper waters of the Beaver River. It is 1^ miles North of the Durham and Collingwood Gravel Road, the nearest point on that road being about a mile East .>^'»t-»j(l'i rLKBHBBTON. 108 of Maxwell. It. is 18 m. from CoUingwood, 3^ from Maxwell, 12 from Flesherton, 42 from Owen Sound, and 27 from Durham. Feversham was not a Grovernment Town-plot; but began to grow into shape six years ago, when the late Edward Horton, Esq., laid out a portion of his property into lots. Mr. Horton built the GriM and Sawmills in 1860. The Flouring Mill has two run of stones, with conveniences for Oatmeal mill, if required. The Sawmill is a first-class mill, and will turn out 4,000 ft. .lumber per day. There are still two spar« water-privileges at Feversham. The River here is a considerable stream, yet of a very manageable size for milling purposes. It runs between precipitous rocky banks of about 20 ft. in height, having as it were cut its way through. The river is quite rapid, and a short distance below the village forms a pretty cascade of 6 or 8 feet. The Mills are now the property of Arthur Mc- Roberts, Esq. The village contains a Post-office, 2 Stores, a School House, 2 Churches, both frame buildings; Grist Mill, Sawmill, Tavern, Cabinet-Maker, Tailor and Carpenter. In the Canada Presbyterian Church, there are religious services every second Sabbath, by Rev. Jas. Greenfield, of Stayner. In the Episcopal Methodist Church, services every second Sabbath, by Rev. John Foster, of Eugenia. There is a Loyal Orange Lodge in Feversham, and a flourishing Temple of the Independent Order of Good Templars. Mails, Mon- day and Friday. Brownell, Rev. D.

A growing village near the centre of the Township of Artemisia, at the intersection of the " Toronto and Sydenham " and Durham and Collingwood Gravel Roads. A few years ago, W. K. Flesher, Esq., 104 FLESHERTON. for some years Reeve of the Township and Warden of the Oouniy, laid out a portion of his property in village lots, and named the place " Flesherton," by which name it is generally known, though the post- office is still known by the original name " Artemisia." Had the other owners of property co-operated with Mr. Flesher, the place would doubtless have been larger by this date. Until the Gravel Road was opened up, there wa« little at " Flesher'i! Corners " but the two taverns, and a Hawmill not now in eiistencc. After the gravelling of the two intersecting Iloads, the place began rapidly to improve. The Sawmill, the fulling mill, the stores, &c., are all the result of the last two or three years. The village has a post-office, 3 stores, 2 taverns, several carpenters, a pump-maker, a blacksmith shop, a Hawmill, a carding and fulling mill, 2 churches, 2 resident clergymen, and a resident physician. It is 5 m. from Priceville, 37 m. from Orangeville, 30 m. to Owen Sound, and 30 m. to ColHngwood Harbor. The Post-office was first established about 12 years ago, at the first settlement of the " Toronto Line," J, P. Fowler is the present Postmaster. Mails daily to and from Colling- wood and Durham; on Wednesdays and Saturdays to and from Chatsworth; on Mondays and Thursdays to Orangeville, and on Tuesdays and Fridays from Orangeville. A section of the Town- ship Library is kept in the village, W. K Flcshor, Librarian. There is at present no Grist Mill in the villogo, though one is con- templated, and partially erected. There is a very large traffic through the village, setting Eastward toward Collingwood. The Mill stream is small, a tributary of the Beaver River, sometimes called " Boyne Water." The N. C. jMcthodist and Wesleyan Churches are both frame buildings ; the latter was erected in 1864. Ainsley, Julius, Farmer. Bonnar, Dr. D., Associate Coroner, &c., boards Jones' Hotel.

In the year 1837, no township.s were surveyed North or West '^f Garafraxa township It was the Ultima Thuh of civilization 'r that direction. Before that date, Lewis Burwell, Esq., afterward of Brantford, had been sent up to lay out some townships at the head waters of the Grand River ; and in the year mentioned Charles Rankin, Esq.j now of Owen Sound, was directed to carry a line tlirough to the waters of Owen Sound. He started from Garafraxa, near Fergus, through what is now the townships of Peel and Arthur, to the present site of Mount Forest. Here dropping the formal survey, he explored tlic route Northward. In 1840, the line was opened out in a fashion — a few necessary removals of logs and small trees made. In 1841, a new survey of the line was made by Mr. McDonald, of Goderich. The now line is the one now used. The variiilions between the two were not very important. The first horse- team that ever came through was in the summer of 1842, driven by a person named Boulton. The road began to get better after tho "grant lots" were pretty well taken up along it, and settlers had oi'cusion to travel it. From about the year 1848 it became an im- portant highway to the Northern Townships, though a bad enough road at certain seasons. Within tho last four years it has been gravelled from below Arthur all tho way to Owen Sound. It has always been called in the County of Grey tho " Garafraxa Road," from the circumstances of its first survey. But in the County of Wellington it is spoken of as the " Owen Sound Road." (See also " Owen Sound to Durham and Mount Forest," and the article " Maitland.") GEORGHAN BAY, or LAKE MANITOU. This beautiful sheet of water is in the Northwestern part of the inhabited portion of Upper Canada, and lies between 40° 30' and i^^rnf^-i^^ffi^n - 3-.^- yp^vrz. ■,"■ T* aJT!ffl^*»>«pTt^ 106 GE0B6IAN BAY, OB LAKE MANITOU. 46° North latitude, and 80" to 81° 30' West longitude. In its longest direction (N. W. and S. E.), it is 120 m. long, with a pretty uniform breadth of 50 m. It comprises, therefore, 6,000 square miles of water, exclusive of the long, land-looked channel North of the Manitoulin Islands, known as the North Channel, which is 150 miles long, and contains 1,700 square miles. Name. — It is much to be regretted that the old name, familiar both to the French traders and Indians of former days — Lake Manitou — (the " lake of the Great Spirit") — should be now almost disused. It is, perhaps, not yet too late to remedy this want of taste, and restore to the lake its proper name ; and as " Frontenac" has within the last fifty years been entirely supplanted by ** Ontario," the Algonquin name for the lowest in our chain of the Great Lakes, we may hope that the insipid " Georgian Bay" will gradually give way to the more vigorous and appropriate name conferred by the In- dians, who deemed its waters and islands sacred to the Great Spirit. " Georgian Bay" was so re-named after the Province came into the hands of the British, out of compliment to George III. Discovery and Exploration. — Samuel de Champlain, Governor of Canada, was probably the first white man who ever sailed over the deep waters of Georgian Bay. Having, between 1603 and 1607, ex- plored the St. Lawrence as tar as Three Rivers, and discovered and explored Lake Champlain in 1609 ; and having already founded Quebec (3rd July, 1608), he bethought him of a great Western ex- ploring tour in 1615. He ascended the Ottawa and reached Lake Nipissing by the portages, and descended the French River to its mouth. His expedition was not altogether a peaceful one. He was in league with the Algonquins, Hurons, Ojibways, and Eries, and virtually at war with the Iroquois and all their English and Indian allies. He had several encounters with the Iroquois. He found the Hurons in possession of the Northern and Eastern coasts and the Islands of the Lake, having been driven thither with great slaughter by the victorious Iroquois half a century before. In fact their ** star of empire" westward was only fully checked by the great battle at Point Iroquois, on Lake Superior, in 1564, where the Iroquois "Six Nations" (then, however, only Jive natio s), were utterly defeated by the Ojibways, aided by the fugitive Hurons. We have no trace of the inhabitants on the shores of Georgian Bay anterior to the Hurons and the Petuns. The latter occupied the Saugeen Peninsula, but were driven out by the Six Nations in 1650, and fled to Missouri. The Huron tradition is that they came down from the North and spread themselves on the she -s of the Upper Lakes, before the dis- covery of America — about 1450. OEOROIAK BAY, OR LAKE MANITOiJ 107 From the time of Champlain, Georgian Bay* was little visited, ex- cept by traders and Indians. Jesuit missionaries early established themfselves on its shores. As early as the year of Champlain's first visit, a Recollect Father preaohed to the Indians at Matchedash Bay. In fact, Ghamplain brought Jesuit missionaries witK him, who could either preach or fight, as occasion seemed to require. More than a century ago a flourishing mission existed on the largest of the };roup now known as the Christian Islands. Some small stone ruins of their buildings are still visible. The mission was ruined by the victorious and implacable Iroquois, then in the height of their power, and it is said some of the converts were tortured to death ; — whence the Hurons, and their friends the Ojibways have ever since called the group ** The Christians' Islands." Shortly before the breaking out of the American Revo- lution, when Sir William Johnston was virtual Dictator among the Indians of North America, a (jrand Council was called ; and as all the tribes were then at peace, delegates came from all quarters Among others, a deputation came down Georgian Bay from the iforrh Shores, landed at Cape Rich, struck across to Christian Is'ands, ascended the Severn River, crossed Lake Simcoe, descended probably the Trent, crossed the foot of Lake Ontario, and ascended the Oswego River to the place of meeting, among the lakes of N. York. During the war of 1812, a small Naval depot was established at Pene- tanguishene on the Eastern shores of Georgian Bay. In 1817 Lieut. ( afterwards Admiral) Bayfield, having already assisted Capt. Owen for two years in the exploration of the Lakes, became an Admiralty Surveyor, and was appointed to the survey of Erie and Huron, in- cluding Georgian Bay. He spent six years in this work; and the accuracy of his charts is a theme of wonder and congratulation to the present day to all navigators. lis Navigation. — When the settlements first began on the South shores of Georgian Bay, the only vessels navigating its waters were oc- casional trading schooners among the Islands, gathering furs, feathers, cranberries, maple sugar, fish, &c., from the Indians, and giving them manufactures in return. One of these, the " Wanderer" of Cnldwater, McGregor, master, is noted in the annals of Owen Sound, as the first vessel that is known to have called at the port. The " Fly," W. C. Boyd, owner-the " St. Joseph's," Messrs. McNab, owners— the "Anne Brown," George Brown, owner — the '' Eliza White," Messrs. Stephens, owners — all of Owen Sound, and the " Ann," of .Meaford, kept up, till 1845, communication between the S. W. shores of the Lake and Pcnetanguishene and Coldwater, from whence communication was had with Lake Simcoe and Toronto. In 108 GEORGIi^N BAT, OR LAKE MANITOU. 1843 a little Government Steamer looked into Owen Sound ; but it was not till 1845 that any regular running steam-vessel appeared. In that year Chas. Thompson, Esq., brought on the Steamer " Gore," which made regular weekly trips from Penetanguishene, to Owen Sound and Sault Ste Marie, up to 1851. In 1852, the fine Steamer Belle, intended to replace the " Gore," was wrecked on Cape Croker. The Detroit, the Telegraph, the Kaloolah, the Phughhoy, the Rescue, the Algoma, the Bruce and the Georgum, have, at different times, and for longer or shorter periods, run on the same route ; though latterly Gollingwood has become the first port of departure, instead of Penetanguishene. In the winter of 1854-5, the Northern Railway was finished to Gollingwood ; and. in the latter part of May 1855, the " Louisiana," the pioneer Steamer of the Chicago line, arrived at Gollingwood. The line consisted at first of four large side-wheel Steamers. After- ward a line of propellers was substituted ; but for two or three years past the Company have ceased to subsidize or employ Steamers at a loss, and the communication with Chicago has been mainly kept up by large Schooners which come down with cereals and take back lumber. Since 1855 a daily Steamer has plied between Collingwood and Owen Sound, calling at Meaford and Cape Rich. The Jtfitizqopa, the Oxford, the Canadian and the Clifton have, at various times, been employed on this service. General Aspect, Depth, Islands, dc. — Georgian Bay is 578 feet above the level of the sea, there being no difference between it and Lake Huron. It is 800 feet deep in the wider parts. Its great depth accounts for the coldness of its waters, on which the summer sun seems to have little infiuencc. Its chief entrance is between Isle of Coves (on the N. point of which is a first-class revolving light) and Fitzwilliam Island, or rather the small Yeo Island, S. of the latter. The channel is six miles wide. There are three Islands at the mouth of Colpoy's Bay, Griffeth's Island (on E. point of which is a Light-house), White Cloud, and Hay Islands; — in the Eastern part of the Lake, Christian Island, Beckwith I., Hope I., Pr. Wm. Henry I., Parry I., the Western Isles, the Limestone Islands ; and many thousands of small granite Islands, lining the coast and tilling the Inlets, from Penetanguishene to the French River. This latter part of the coast is utterly worthless for Agricul- tural purposes. From 10 to 20 m. inland, the land grows a little better. It is uninhabited, except at two or three lumbering Stations, where Sawmills arc erected. In the North and North-western part of the Lake are Lonely, Club, Squaw, Half-moon, Fitzwilliam, Cove, Bear's Rump, and Flower Pot Islands, and others of less importance. OLASCOTT P. O. 109 la the North Channel are others, some of which are of several miles extent. The County of Grey occupies by far the larger portion of the South shore. The shorcc>- of the Saugeen Peninsula, bordering on Georgian Bay, are generally " bold," a rocky escarpment, facing the East, following the bend of the shore, with generally a narrow wooded slope between the cliff and the water. The Kastern shores of the Lake present a granite formation. There are many valuable fisheries in Georgian Bay. The Fisheries at Collingwood, Capo Rich and Vail's Point, are there conducted on the largest scale. At many of the Islands in the Northern part, much fishing is done. As the restrictions on taking lake-fish at certain seasons, do not extend to the Lake Huron waters, Georgian Bay fish are in much request at times when fishing is prohibited in Lakes Erie and Ontario. Georgian Bay is justly celebrated for its clear bracing air and beautiful scenery. A trip from Collingwood or Owen Sound through the North Channel, to Sault Ste. Marie, presents some of the finest lake and island scenery that can be imagined ; and most of the way in sheltered water: The route is becoming fashionable; but the public have not been as well provided for in the matter of good accommodation with the proper kind of boats as they or the route deserved. The opening of the "Georgian Bay Canal," or the "Ott-awa Canal," or in process of time of both those great works, will make this Northern Lake a most important link in the great Marine Highway to the mighty West. And, contrasting what L akk Manitou is now, with what it was twenty years ago, when its blue waters were scarcely ploughed by a single keel, it is difficult to pre- dict what twenty more years may not do for it. GLANDORE MILLS. Situated on Lot 32, in the 2nd Con. of Melanctbon, G^ m. di- rectly south of Singhampton, 6^ m. North of Horning's Mills, atid 1^ m. from Osprey P. 0. The mill was first put in operation in 18G1. One run of stones at present, but it is intended to put in another run. The building is frame, 50 x HO feet, and 4 stories in height. It is often called, after the name of the Proprietor, " Plewea' Mill." Water-power is supplied by a fork ol" the Mad lliver, which tails into the main stream a little above Cremore.

The river, a pretty and swift- flowing stream, becomes very rapid, and then plunges ovci" the rooks in a perpendicular fall of 16 feet. The cascade is considered very pleasing. There is a Sawmill near the property of H. Rowswell, Esq., of Durham. Glenelg Falls are 8 m. N. E. of Durham, 2 ra. up the stream from ChaflFey's Mills, and about 3J E. of the Garafraza Road. GLENELG P. O.— (See " Latona.") GLENELG TOWNSHIP. The Township of Glenelg lies somewhat central in the County, having Holland on the North, Artemisia on the East, Egremont on the South, and Bentinck on the West. It was settled about the same time as the central and Southern Townships of Grey, viz. : about the year 1850, and received an unusual proportion of immi- grants from Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. The names of residents will show this fact. At elections, the Returning Officers have often to invent distinctive appellations for several persons of the same name who come forward to vote. In population, Glenelg stood third in the County at the Census of 1861, being set down at 3,0G5. The first settlements were on the several roads touching or running through the township, on which " free grants " were made by the Government. The reader is referred to " Durham," "Garafraxa " o.nd "Toronto " Roads for further information regard- ing them. Glenelg was surveyed by John Stoughton Dennis, Esq., P. L. S., in 1850. The land is generally rolling. Many of the farms are yet far from being cleared up. The Western part of the township, along the Garafraxa Road, is pretty stony — an almost universal feature on this Road — but not so much so elsewhere in the township. The survey of the township, on account of the three Roads above named, shows no fewer than four "first," "second" and " third " Concessions; so that in the list which follows, we have been obliged to keep these four systems distinct to avoid the multi- plication of initial letters to distinguish the different surveys — a thing very puzzling to a person consulting the work to find some one's locality.

N. of Cape (Commodore, the N. ¥1. point of the Township of Keppel, and isouiewhat in front of the entrance to Colpoy's Bay. It is Indian territory, the title never having been acquired by the Government. No Indians, however, reside on it, except occasionally in the summer. About seven years ago the Government built a very excellent light- liouse on the Eastern front of the island, the blocks for which (white " Solomite"), were obtained from the eliifs West ot Owen Sound ti \vn. The land on the island is elevated and well covered with timber. Some swamps are said to exist on the table-land ; but the island is little visited, and only about the shores. The Indians have a tradi- tioTi that all the three islands were once connected with each other and with Cape Croker peninsula. We can say nothing as to (lie truth of this hypothesis; for the old Indians, whoso boyhood IcarncMl it from their grandfathers, can give us nothing more than the asser- tion of the doubtful fact. The water is, however, by no means deep between the islands; and when we remember what has been done in our own day at Long Point and Toronto — islands being made whore formerly there were mne, it is not impossible that u century or two ago it may have been ti.^e ease.

An important village on the " Durham Road," 11m. West of Durham and 7 m. East of Walkerton ; on the County line between Grey and Bruce, and partially in the latter County. The Townships of Bentinck and Brant, between which Hanover lies, contain many German settlers, and Hanover is largely composed of German households. The main stream of the Saugeen River runs with a Westerly course, a quarter of a mile or so North of the village. The mills are ■•;?": HANOVER. 123 the property of H. P. Adams, Esq., and were built about nine years ago. They consist of a Grist and Flouring Mill with two run of stones, a Sawmill, and a Carding and Fulling Mill. The niilldam and the dwelling house of the proprietor are on the Bentinck side, and the mills are on the Brant side of the road. After the mills had been built a year or two, Mr. Adams, A. Z. Gottwals, Esq., and the Messrs. Hahn, and others, laid out portions of their property in village lots. This was in 1857. There was already a Tavern, rost- Officc and ^tore. The name Iftmover was bestowed by the Po8t- Office Department. " Adamsville," and other names were suggested, but the Post-Offici; officials have always on hand a large array of borrowed, original, and especially of ill-sounding names, and on the slightest provocation throw one at the Post-Office that has not been fortunate enough to select a name claimed by no one else, and as short as it ought to be. " Hanover," however, is appropriate enough for a British-German village, and is not far away from " Hiihnover," the name proposed by the Messrs. Hahn. The place wears a thriving appearance. There are three well-stocked Mer- chant Shops; a somewhat extensive Foundry; four Hotels; a Brewery ; the mills already mentioned, the new Cabinet factory of Mr. Crispin, the machinery of which is driven by a small stream winding throuiih the village; ii Waggon Makers, 4 Blacksmiths' Shops, G Churches, 8 resident Clergymen, a Physician, &c., &c. An Orange Hall is used for School purposes at present. Average attend- ance of resident pupils, 58. The Foundry was established in 18GI} ; it turns out ploughs, kettles, stoves, &c. The population is about 400, and increasing. Mails to and from Durham, Walkerton, Kin- cardine, &c., daily. Elmwood and Carlshrue Post-Offices, (in Co. Bruce), are also supplied from Hanover. The Southern fork of the Saugeen (the " Maitland," of former days), falls into the main stream 1^ mile East of the "Corners." These streams afford ample scope for trout fishing, and Hanover for several past seasons has been much visited by Anglers from a distance. They could irot get a pleasanter place to put up at.

It is situated in the valley of the Beaver River, and the stream runs through the village. The river is placid in its course through the village, but there are some mill-privileges (unemployed) in the immediate neighbourhood. There is at present no machinery at Williamstown ; and the place is not apparently as progressive as was anticipated for it a few years ago. Still, from the fine settlement round it, it must in time becomo a place of business. Almost the only buildings erected for the last five years, have been in the way of Churches and Halls; and these, for so small a place, are very creditable. There is a new Presby- terian Church (llev. John Gould, of Thornbury, Minister), and a new Episcopal Church (Rev. J. Hutchinson, of Meaford, Minister), scarcely yet finished. We note also a neat Episcopal 3Jethodist • Church, a Friends' Meeting House, and an Orange Hall (frame). In the village is a Post-ofi&ce (Division Court office in same building), two Stores, a Tavern, a Blacksmith, Slioemaker, &c. At the Post- office is kept a Section of the Township Library of CoUingwood. The village is a sort of "headquarters" for summer tourists, who come to fish for speckled trout in the far-famed Beaver River. The sti'fiam may be waded and fished for miles in either direction. Mail on Tuesday and Saturday, to and from Thornbury. "Heathcote" is the name of the Post-office, and will probably quite supersede " Williamstown," especially as the latter nmue is already applied to a Post-town in Glengarry. It is 10 m. S.E. of Meaford, 5 m. E. of Griersville, 5 m. W. of Thornbury, 3^ W. of Clarksburg, 17 m. from CoUingwood, and 29 m. from Owen Sound. Bradbury, Luke, Boot and Shoemaker. Donaldson, Wm., Blacksmith.

The Township of Holland is centrally situated in the County of Grey, having Sydenham on the North, PJuphrasia on the East, Glenelg on the South, and Sullivan on the West. It was named after the late amiable Lord Holland ; and though the " Garafraxa Road " on its Western boundary was laid out as early as 1840, the survey of the township at large was not taken in hand till 1849. Charles Rankin, P. L. S., made the survey in 1849 and 1850. The survey is rendered complex by the " Toronto and Sydenham Road " being projected through the township from N. W. to S. E., with five and sometimes six ranges of lots parallel with it in its diagonal course. The township is somewhat hilly, and will be in some prrts, when a little older, very romantic. Portions of Holland, especially in the vicinity of the Garafraxa Road, are stony. The soil is generally clay, and for the most purt very iertile. When the time comes that these Northern townships can bear the expense of undcrdraining on a moderate scale, the productiveness of the soil will be immensely increased. The timber is almost exclusively maple, beech and elm, with an occasional sprinkling of hemlocks, and some cedar-swamps of no great extent. The township is well watered by many springs, some small lakes, and several mill streams, that, running in different directions, forui the head waters or become tributary to the Big Head, Sydenham or Saugeen Rivers. 128 SCBOOLS. The Villages are Chatsworth or Johntown, (partly in this town- ship), and Walter's Falls. Post-offices nre foumd at the two places just named, besides Berkeley, Sullivan and Massic Post-offices. There are three grist mills — one at Walter's Falls, Masaie's and Conger's ; and another building a short distance from Williamsford, up the so-called " Sable." There are a number of Sawmills. In the Southern and central part of the township, are Lillburn'e, Hamilton's, and Lawless's Sawmills. In the Nnrthein part of the township are Conger's, Massie's. Ceasor's, Waller's, and another building. Census Reports.- The population of Holland was in 1801, 2,317, standi -ig in this respect eighth among the Municipalities of the County.

A Post Village in the Township of Egremont, 6 m. from Mount Forest. Jlr. M. D. McKenzie is the Postmaster, and likewise keeps a General Store. There is a Blacksmith's Shop and a Saw- mill at Holstein ; the latter the property of 3Ir. John Shells. Mails are supplied from Mount Forest. HORNINQ'S MILLS. A village in the Township of Melancthon, between the first and second Concessions, in what is known as the "Old Survey" of the Township. Homing's Mills P. 0., is 12 m. South of Singhampton ; but although the road runs direct South from Singhampton, Hom- ing's Mills is not situated on the County line, like the village just named. In Melancthon, the County line of Grey projects, as it were, 0M« Concession into Siuicoe. This village is 6 m, N. of the end of the " Toronto and Sydenham" gravel road, and about 22 m. N. of Orangeville. The place is very scattered; a few houses being in the vicinity of the miMs, and nearly a mile South, a few more near the 186 HORNING S MILLS. Hotel ; with the Post-office and Mr. Jarvis' Store midway between . The South end of the place is sometimes called '' Masonville," having beea laid out as a village under that name a few years ago by the late John Mason, Hotel Keeper. Population of Homing's Mills about 100. Within the bounds of thc.village are 3 Stores, a School, a Grist-mill, a Fulling Mill, a Sawmill, a Post-office, 2 Blacksmiths' Shops, a Waggon Shop, a Tavern, 3 Shoemakers, a Tailor, &c. ' The Grist-Mill'is the property of W. Airth, Esq. It has two run of stones. It is the oldest Mill in the County, having been built 30 years ago by the late Mr. Horning. The Carding and Fulling Mill belongs to Mrs. Johnson, and is leased by Mr. E. Creech. These, as also Mr. John McGhee's Sawmill, are situated on the headwaters of the Pine River, a tributary of the Nottawasaga River. The fall on Mr. Airth's property is as much as 200 feet, affording almost un- limited water-power. Being fed from springs, none of which are more than two miles distant, it shows little or no variation in the volume of its water at any time of the year — neither affected by droughts nor floods. Adjoining the School House, is a pretty little Cemetery, the property of the public, containing over an acre. There is an Epis- copal Methodist Chapel, and a Wesleyan Chapel (the latter not quite finished) near enough to be considered in the village. The Wesleyan and New Connexion Methodists, and the Canada Presbyterians wor- ship at present in the Sohool-house. The School Section possesses a Common School Library. A melancholy tale hangs round the early settlement of this place. Thirty years ago, four children, one a son of Mr. Homing's and three other children named Van Meer, wandered into the woods, perhaps in search of the cows, and were never vwre heard of ! It was sup- posed, it does not seem to be known on what grounds, that they were carried off by Indians. The mystery was never clenred up. No traces were discovered, nor were any remains of the little unfortu- nates ever found. It is easy to refer to, but impossible to describe the desolation of the parents, the sickness of "hope deferred ;" the catching at every atom of probability on which a hope might hang, only to bo again disappointed ; and at last the utt«r darkness and the blank despair. Twenty years after, a young Indian-looking man ap- peared in the settlement, and gave out that he was Mr. Homing's son, but his contradictory accounts of himself gained no credence, and he was set down as an impostor.

A small stream that rises in the Eastern part of the Township of Keppel, and after a short course through a part of that township, and the Township of Sarawak, falls into Owen's Sound about 4 m. from the Town of that name. At present it drives no machinery except a Sawmill at its mouth, in Sarawak. Its upper course is generally sluggish, flowing through a series of flats and swamps, which it occa- sionally overflows in spring. Its lower course is sometimes visited for trout-fishing ; but it is rather too small a stream for good fishing. It is chiefly noticeable on account of its Falls, ^ ni. from its mouth. Its mouth forms an excellent boat harbour. INDIAN FALLS. For want of a better name, these Falls, and the small river which forms them, have been called " Indian," because they are found on lands until lately constituting an Indian Reserve. The Ojibways sometimes call the stream "Drumming River," from the resemblance of the noise of the Falls to t'^e " drumming " of u partridge, aa fre- quently heard in the woods, 'lu.se beautiful Falls are, we are most happy to say, yet in a complete ctate of nature. No work of man is 138 INOUS MILLS. visible from the chasm below, or from the brink, except on the latter the cawing of ''many a long forgotten name " on a beech rooted in the rock. The descent is sheer. The height of the Falls, as we once found by actual measurement, is 41 ft. ; and behind the curtain of falling waters it has become customary for all visitors to pass. It is a favourite resort for summer pic-nic parties from Owen Sound, who proceed to the mouth of the river in boats. INGLIS' FALLS. Sometimes also called *' Sydenham Falls." They are three miles south of Owen Sound, on the Sydenham River. The river here plunges over rocks from a height of 70 ft. above the bed of the stream below. The fall is broken and irregular. When the water is very low, the rocks show their black, mossy faces, and the waters dart hither and thither in jets and streams ; but, when the river is full, it is a rude tumbling cascade, descending in a sheet of foam to the bottom. Nothing can be more picturesque than these Falls as seen from below, and the rapids and rocks round which the visitor has to pick his way to reach the bottom of the cascade. The people of the town and neighbourhood are justly proud of them. Lord Elgin, when Governor General, paid a visit to these Falls in the autumn of 1851, when in Owen Sound. The road from Owen Sound, for a quarter of a mile before reaching the Falls, is beyond all cavil the prettiest and most romantic bit of road in the County. INOLIS' MILLS. Situated just above the Falls of the Sydenham River, 3 miles from Owen Sound, and in the Township of Derby. In 1842, when the embryo town of Owen Sound was scarce discernable to the eye, and Derby as yet an unsurveyed wilderness, Mr. Elliott, a Millwright, from Goderich, came in Mr. W. C. Boyd's schooner, the " Fly," and commenced putting up Mills at the Falls of the Sydenham. Either in '42 or '43, before they were quite finished, he sold out to Mr. Boyd, who, in 1845, sold them to Peter Ingl'j, Esq., the present proprietor. The Mills consist of a Grist-Mill (with two run of stones) and a Sawmill. The original Grist-Mill was superseded in 1862 by a newer structure, handsomely built, 2^ stories high, adjoining the old site. The residence of the proprietor stands on an elevation near the Mills, and commands a most extensive prospect Northward. The Indian shore, as far as Cape Commodore (20 m. distant), is distinctly visible, with the blue waters of the Lake East and North, and the Town of Owen Sound, and the intervening valley, lying, as it were, KEPPEL TOWNBHIP. 189 almost at the spectator's feet. Little over a quarter of a mile above is Mr. Herriman's Sawmill, and at the turn of the road, between the two, is W. McMeekin's Inn. Dickson, Thomas, Miller.

Bounded North by Colpoy's Bay, East by the waters of Owen's Sound, South by Derby, and West by Amabel. Keppel, and tha other Townships forming the Saugeen Peninsula, were surrendered to the Government by the Ojibway Indians residing at Newash and Saugeen, in the early part of 1855; a grand Council of the Tribe? assembling to consummate the treaty with Lord Bury, then the he.id of the Indian Department. Keppel was surveyed the same year by Charles Ran- kin, Esq., of Owen Sound, and an efficient v-taff of assistants. It was sold by auction at Owen Sound, in the autumn of 1856 ; an upset price having been put on each lot by the Surveyors. For two or three years thereafter, Keppel, along with Sarawak, was attached for Muni- cipal purposes to Derby, and is still attached to Sarawak. The soil in Keppel is unequal. Some tracts are of Very excellent quality, and moderately free from stones ; other portions are stony 140 SCHOOLS. and contain rocky streaks, and occasionally rock ridges of several feet perpendicular height. There are a number of small lakes in the township, most of which are surrounded by cliffs of limestone of no great elevation. A diagonal line of road was surveyed through the township, from the vicinity of Owen Sound Northwesterly. Of the three roads shown on the survey, the Southernmost is the one improved best and most travelled. The " South Diagono' " as it is called, in conjunc- tion with the County Line, lately opened up and improved, makes a land communication between Owen Sound and the settlements at the head of Colpoy's Bay; the only communication until the last two years having been wholly or partially by water. The only village in the Township is North Keppel, on a bight of the shore opposite Grif- fith's Island. The Census Returns of 1861 give us extremely little information respecting this Township of any practical value now, as it waa then only beginning to be extensively settled and improved. The popu- lation of Keppel, Sarawak, and the town plot of Brooke, is set down as being at that date 592. The Assessment Roll for 1864 contains about 280 names of residents, representing a population of 1,400, which would be about the number for the united Municipality in the summer of 1864 ; but there has been a considerable and steady influx of new settlers during the year, and the Roll of 1865, when completed, will show a large excess over that of 1864. Magistrates.— There are three Magistrates in the United 3Iuni- cipality, viz. : William McNaught, Lockhart Ormiston, and George Lee, Esq'rs. Of these, Mr. Lee is the only resident in Keppel ; the others are in Sai'awak.

A village in the Township of Sydenham, on the Eastern shore of Owen's Sound, 7 m. (by the road) from Owen Sound Town. John LEITH. 145 Telfer, Esq., the Government Agent in the settlement of Owen Sound town-plot and vicinity, removed to Leith (so named by him) about 19 years ago, took up a lot or two of wild land, built a Grist- mill, and laid out a village. A very pretty little trout and mill- stream, named the " Water of Leith," gives power to the mill, and empties into the Sound at the village. Its mouth forms a convenient boat-harbour, but is not valuable for navigation, properly so called. Adam Ainslie, Esq., the present proprietor of the mills, &c., ran out a wharf (finished in 1861), which showed 8^ ft. water at its end at the time, but, from the recent fall of water in the Upper Lakes, is less now. Mr. Telfer's interest in the place was bought out by Mr. James Wilson (formerly of Gait, now of Owen Scund), who erected a Distillery, not now in operation. Mr. Ainslie succeeded Mr. Wil- son in the ownership of Leith. The Grist-mill has been enlarged since its first erection. It has two run of stones. A little further down the shore, on a different stream, is an Oatmeal Mill, the pro- perty of James Ross, Esq. Messrs. Boss & Sons have also in course of erection a Tannery, in the vicinity of the Oatmeal Mill. There are several Mechanics in the Village — Blacksmith, Tailor, Shoe- maker, &c. The present population is 110. Mails to and from Owen Sound on Tuesdays and Saturdays. There is a neat frame School House, well furnished with maps, &c. Henry Moore, Teacher. The average attendance of scholars for 1864, was 30. Religious services are held in the School House every Sabbath, in connection with the Scottish Kirk ; Rev. Alex. Hunter, B. A.

" MAITLAND" RIVER. In order to begin aright, it is nt;ces8ary to prcmim; that the Mait- land River (named after Sir Peregrine Maitland, Governor of Upper Canada; and falling into L. Huron at Goderich), docs not in any MAITLAND RIVER. 147 part of its course touch the County of Grey, nor derive a drop of its waters therefrom ; and the only reason for introducing its name in this work arises from the following circumstances. In 1837, Charles Rankin, Esq., P. L. S., received orders from the Crown Land De- partment of Upper Canada, to proceed to lay out a line of road be- tween the head of Owen's Sound, and the settlements of the Wel- lington District. Before this date, Lewis Burwell, Esq., P. L. S., of Brantford, had been sent up to near the head waters of the Grand River, to lay out some new townships. When Mr. Burwell came to the township of Luther, he merely ran lines around it, and reported it " all swamp." Though time has proved Burwell's report to have considerable foundation in fact, it seems the Government of that day had serious doubts about its correctness. Mr. Rankin, however, was allowed to go about the present business in his own way ; and being certain of the reliability of his friend Burwell's report, after com- mencing at Garafraxa township, near the village (or rather then the settlement of) Fergus, he bore off N. W. through what is now the township of Arthur; intending to turn North when he was sure of being round the great Swamp. When he struck the " Maitland," at what is now Mount Forest, he judged from the high banks and swift water that there could be no great swamp in the immediate neighbourhood. Newash, the Ojibway Chief of Owen's Sound, told him it was '* a Saugeen." Having always found Newash's topogra- phy marvellously correct, he never had a doubt about it ; and " Sau- geen" it was in his report. For the next three years, nothing was done. Emigration and settlements were at a stand-still. The County was slowly recovering from tae effects of the Rebellion of 1837. In 1841, the Government, not liking on the map the appearance of Mr. Rankin's line, sent John McDonald, Esq., of Goderich, a Sur- veyor who had been in the employ of the " Canada Company," to run out'a new and straight line — one that would serve as a Town- line between the new townships to be laid out. Mr. McDonald's survey extended from the " Maitland" to the South limit of Syden- ham Township. Coming from Goderich, and finding a swift stream running directly toward it (though it soon turns N. W.), his first thought would naturally be that it was the Maitland River ; though he might have judged that a stream as large as the Saugeen at Mount Forest would make a larger river than the Maitland by the time it reached the Lake at Goderich. Whether he consulted the Indians on the Bubjoct, or consulting them paid no attention to their state- ments, the fact remains that he duobed the Southern Fork of the Saugeen with the name " Maitland," and that it was many years before the blunder began to be popularly corrected. A.11 persuns who had occasion to travel the " Garafraxa Road," 10 or 15 years 148 MANDERS CORNERS. ago, knew about the " Maitland hills" and the " Maitland woods" ; the latter a mile long, through the then nameless town-plot of Mount Forest. When, some years after McDonald's survey was made, some persons followed down the stream, searching for land, till it joined the Saugeen (near where Hanover now stands), and followed up the main stream of the Saugeen to Durham, and reported at the latter place that the " Maitland" was a Simgem, people would hardly be- lieve them. And at the present day there will be people found read- ing these pages who will dispute the fact, of the " Maitland" being 710 Maitland. The large Provincial Maps of Tremaine and Tackabury have this river correctly laid down ; but the smaller Maps of Ensign, Bridgman «& Panning, Now York, both in the editions of 1855 and of 18G1, have it down according to the erroneous tracings of McDonald ; and so widely has the error taken root, that in the Map of Upper Canada, given in Chewett & Co.'s "Canadian Almanac" for 18G5, the river goes from the South corners of Egremont and Normanby, where iMount ¥oxe%i ought to be, gajloping away towards Goderich! — the old error again repeated. MAD RIVER. An affluent of the Nottawasaga River, rising by various streams in Osprey and Melancthon, and falling into the Nottawasaga near Angus, As Osprey and Melancthon occupy some of the highest table-bind in the settled portions of Upper Canada, these streams, on their entrance into Nottawasaga Township, descend very rapidly, and might be utilized to a very large extent for manufacturing purpo.ses. The main stream of the Mad River, then not far from its source, passes through the rising village of Singhampton at the (.'ouuty line of Simcoe. MANDERS' CORNERS. A well-known country Corners, in the Township of Sydenham, at the foot of the "Lake Shore" Road, and on the (1 ravel Road be- tween Owen Sound and Meaford, 15 m. from the former place. There in an excellent brick School House at the Corners, which, with a well conducted Hotel by Mr. Wilkinson, and the farm-house (formerly the tavern) of Mr. R. Mandcrs, constitutes the hamlet. The School House Avas built three years ago at an expense of $1,000. Average attendance of scholar! in 18G4, 30. There is ns yet no Post-office nearer than 0\ (>n Sonnd. The Sydenham Township Agricultural Society always hold their Annual Exhibition, and the Township Council generally meet, at Manders' Corners. MANDERS, RICHARD, Farmer.

There is a large traffic across the country continually setting in toward the Railway at Collingwood, and its influence is tending to build up Maxwell and other places on the route of the Gravel Road. As an example of the amount of trade ~ /ch may be done even in a small place by enterprise and capital, . may be mentioned that the firm of Sutherland & Bowes, Merchants, took in, in the winter of 1803-4, 32,000 bushels of Grain, and 50,000 lbs. of Pork, and teamed the whole to Collingwood. Mr. Maxwell has erected and removed into a new and commodious Hotel during the past few months. The two chapels belong to the Wesleyan Methodists and the Canada Presbyterians, respectively. They are new, and scarcely yet finished. Rev. James Greenfield, of Stayner (Presbyterian), preaches every four weeks. Rev. D. E. Brownell, of Feversham (Wesleyan), every two weeks; and Rev. I.

When t' J Township of St. Vincent was surveyed, which was as loTif:; a^o as 1833, the town-plot of Meaford was left in a block of no f/;rcat extent. In 1845, when the township was pretty well filled up, tiie lute W. R. Gibbard, Esq , P.L.S., was instructed to lay out the villa^'^u. Wo helicve we are correct in stating that the name was bestowed by Mr. Gibbard. As the former iiamo of the township liud bcon changed sonic years before to St. Vincent, in honour of the naval hero. Admiral Jervis, Earl St. Vincent, it seemed a happy thought to call the principal village in the Township by the name of his country seat. In the same manner, Mr. Gibbard named the streets, Nelson. Collingwood, Sykes, Bayfield, &c., — all names of naval heroes. The place did not spring at once into importance ; for, three years after its survey, it yet contained but four bouses. s. t We if iW4mf , GENERAL DEALERS IN DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, AND COUNTRY PRODXJOTi], BAYFIELD ST., KEAB THE WHABF, ^30* CA.SI3: FA.IO I'-'OR.

Below the Milk, on the river edge, is the new Pearlash Factory of Mr. A. Lawson. Above the Grist-Mill is a spare water-power. Once over the bridge, the Gravel Road takes the nirae of Seymour street ; and on it we find the establishments of Messrs. Henderson & Mcintosh (General Dealers and Merchant Tailors), Drunimond's Cabinet Warehouse ; Pillgrem's General Store ; Dr. Maclean's office ; Wilcox's Boot & Shoe shop ; the Methodist Episcopal Church, HEAFORD. 155 finished a year ago, cost $2,000, brick ; Stubb'3 Hotel, &c. In this portion of the village are also the Fanning Mill Factory of Mr. C. Watt, turning ouU 150 Mills and a large number of Straw-cutters, &c., annually; the Episcopal Church, a neat Gothic wooden build- ing ; the Masonic Hall ; Cain's Job Printing OflSce, &c. Creek Mills.— A mile North of the centre of the village, on the Lake shore, are " Creek Mills," so called by Mr. Fuller, the original proprietor of the water-power. They consist of two Sawmills, one above the other, on a creek emptying into the Lake there. The upper mil! is the property of Mr. James Spratford ; the lower, of Mr. Joseph Cox. Both have upright b.^ws and lath saws, and are run with vigour. A Grist-Mill is spoken of. There is a spare water- power above the Sawmills. The population of this suburb is 100. For convenience, it is treated as a portion of Meaford in this work, as the town will soon grow down to it. Magistrates.—Charles Carney, David L. Lay ton, Thomas Donovan, Thomas Harris, William D. Taylor, Jesse T. Purdy, James Stewart, John Johnson. Meaford has grown rapidly since the wharf was built, and especi- ally since the gravelling of the Owen Sound and CoUingwood Road. It is stated, on good authority, that from 60,000 to 80,000 bushels of wheat are bought and stored every winter. An excellent Agri- cultural country surrounds it, its manufactures are increasing, and there is every reason to anticipate it will become a large place. Mail stages pass daily in both directions ; and during the season of navigation the steamer '* Clifton " calls both going and returning, between Owen Sound and CoUingwood. It is distant 18^ m. from Owen Sound, S^ m. from Thornbury, and 22 m. from CoUingwood. The Post-office is still officially known as "St. Vincent PO.;" and the name Meaford, pomewhat to the disadvantage of the plr^cc, frequently fails to appear in connexion with the village. It is 1o be regretted that advantage was not taken of ti fire some years ago, by which the Post-office was burned, and the official stamps, &c., had all to be renewed, to have this needful change of name made. The wharf stands at the W. side of the mouth of the river. There are 10 to 12 ft. water at its end. Were the wharf somewhat lengthened, and a breakwater extended at right angles to it, or the river-bar dredged so as to form an iuner harbour in the river itself, it would add greatly to the trade and prosperity of the town. The site of the town was originally covered with beautiful hard- wood timber; and on retired streets and vacant lots, and frequently in gardens and around dwellings, beautiful specimens of " second- growth" maple^ &c., arc found, singly or in groves, giving a pleasant 156 MEAFORD. and attractive air to its summer aspect; for, after all, beauty is often cheaply obtained. North winds prevail to some extent in winter, and are sometimes very cutting ; but the inhabitants accept the occasional discomfort as the price they pay for being situated on navigable water.

MEAFORD TO EUG-ENIA. From Meaford, on Georgian Bay, to Eugenia, at the falls of the Beaver River, in ArtemiHia, is '20 miles, direct South ; at least as direct as the township lines run, which is slightly Vj. of S. This road is between the 4th and 5th Concessions in St. Vincent and Euphrasia townships, and is called the "Fourth Line" in each. From Meaford to (Jriersville is 5 m. The Road may be said to be up-hill all tiio way. A mile in rear of Meaford, a beautiful prospect is presented on looking lakeward. Arrived at (Jriersville, through a tine improving country on each side, the traveller linds that the " up-hill " is not yet quite linished. Hcforo him, at a little distance, lies a perpendicular escarpment of the limestone rock so freijuently seen in this county, and which he must ascend through a narrow "cut," (juanied and bliwtcd out of the m ' . Having probably rested and dined at Wilson's Hotel, (iiriersvillc, the rock-ascent is soon and easily made, and the t.-iblo land of Kuphnusla gained. At the town-lin(! between St. Vincent and Euphrasia, a Methoilist Chapel (Mount Zion Chapel) stands on East side of the road. About 3 m. further is Duke's tavern, a , Miall wayside Inn. Shortly after passing Duke's, the road begins to descend \ < the South, opening out into the valley of the Beaver River. II the traveller iuquircH MELANCTHON TOWNSHIP. 163 diligently and watches closely, he will discover the isolated Post- office of Epping ; a great convenience, however, to the inhabitants around. The view southward is most beautiful. The slopes of the Collingwood and St. Vincent ** Mountains," partially opened up, but nearly all yet covered with wood, and the magnificent valley of the Beaver, present a fine picture. The road is now none of the best, unless a good time of the year is taken to make the journey. An occasional school-house, or small Chapel, is met with on the way, showing that the people are not insensible of their moral and educa- tional interests. About 1^ m. from Epping, the bottom of the descent is reached. In the midst of a pretty long "causeway," through a cedar-swamp, the Beaver lliver is crossed ; and shortly after, the Road begins to ascend. A School-house is seen on the right, and Purdy's Sawmill on the left. It is now G m. from Eu- genia. The traveller keeps on up-hill, through a rather winding road; nearly all forest; thinking, perhaps, that the descent of this new road is much pleasanter than its ascent ; and, looking back, or to the right, occasionally, to admire the exhilarating forest scenery of the " Cuckoo Valley," that not oven a new bush-road can alto- gether spoil; and having gone .about three miles up-^'.ll, gets to the high table-land of Artemisia. In fact he has been in Artemisia for the last mile or two, without knowing it. In due time he reaches the village of Eugenia. Wc have given prominence to this Road for the reason that, though as yet not much travelled at its Southern end, it must eventually become a leading road between the " Toronto Line " and the Lake ; and partly because of the wild and beautiful ,'cenery surrounding it. MELANCTHON TOWNSHIP. The Eastern four Concessions of Melancthon, comprising rather more than one-third of the township, were surveyed in 1880, and settled and improved to a considerable extent within the few years next following. The "Old Survey" of Melancthon is a fine set- tlement. The land is somewhat rolling, the soil rich and productive, and the neighbourhood is not troubled with those spring and autumn frosts so damnging to crops in some of the neighbouring townships. In 1848, the "Toronto and Sydenham Road" which traverses Melancthon diagonally, from N.VV. to S.E., was laid out; and the next year the ranges of lots parallel to it, making in all a breadth of about 4 m., were laid out. As if to humour this diagonal sur- vey, the other concessions in the township (except the "old survey,") arc also diiigonal, to the township boundary linos, giving Melancthon the distinction of being the only township in Upper Canada whose '^' ^-'7;' 164 MELAKCTHON TOWNSHIP. parallel to one or more sides of the town- Eurvejr was made in 1850 by the late David Concession lines are noi ship. This latter Gibson, P.L.S. Melnncthon contains a large cmount of " Cedar" and "Tama- rack " swamp. Occupying, as it does, the water-shed between the four Lakes, it might be supposed to be hilly or mountainous ; but the water-shed is a dreary level of swamps, thinly covered with tamarack or stunted cedar, out of which the headwaters of the various rivers ooze in sluggish rivulets. Perhaps it was in conse- quence of the Eastern concessions being settled so long before the rest of the township, and the great swamp abutting on the West, that the ridiculous canard about a Silver Mine somewhere in the recesses of the swamp obtained currency. It was asserted, with more or less of bel'ef in the assertion, that a silver mine existed in a rocky " island " in the impenetrable re- cesses of the Melancthon or Luther swamp, known only to a few Indians, and some fortunate schemers among the whites. It is unnecessary to say that this Northern I'otosi was never found, nor is likely to be. Toward the N. E. corner of the new survey, about the 8th and 9th concessions, exists, we have reason to Lolieve, the highest land in the Peninsula i^ Upper Canada. On the " South line " of Osprey, Mr. Gibson and other Surveyors estimated a point a short distance West of Osprey P. 0., at 1180 to 1248 feet above Georgian Bay. (The estimates were made separately, and at dilferent dates.) But about No. 28, on 8th Con., of Melancthon, a point is believed to be a few feet still higher, A large portion of Melanct'uon is yet in the hands of the Govern- ment. Conditions of actual settlement were made in all these town- ships by i/he Government, on the sale of the lots ; and very many of them have been abandoned. Though beneficial in most instances, thid rule does not appear to have wrought well in Melancthon. Five or six years ago, had there been no " settlement duties" required, thousands of acres would have been paid up by "absentees;" — but " settlement duties " being demanded by the Govornnicut, they could not get their patents. So, i o "duties" were done, and no tuxes were coUecU'd, and very many forfeitures were made. The lots could probably li-<' icon sold, live years ago, for $1 50 per acre; now they "c bac iii the hands of the Governiiient, and when sold will not probably bring 25c. un acre. The gravelling of the " Toronto Line " lia:: been of much boneiif to Melancthon. The twoiity miles of rather poor road to Orange- villo is, however. . drawback to the advantage * otk^wise accruir'igfroni the gravelling of the diagonal line. Communication with the C )unty CHURCHES. 165 Town is greatiy facilitated ; but from the position of Melanothon, its business interests rather lie toward Toronto), South-east.

A large, prosperous and important incorporated Village on the Southern border of the County of Grey, partly in the township of Egremont, and partly in Normanby, with a smaller portion belong- ing to the township of Arthur, in County of Wellington. It is iu a beautiful, upland situation, on the North side of the Southern fork of the Saugecn River, formerly (but erroneously) called the " Mait- Umd River." The village has been of very rapid growth, the own- plot being bush, broken only by the Garafraxa Road passinj. \' >ugh it, ten years ago, and now containing; 1,200 inhabitants, 'j uc Wei lington side of the town-plot was surveyed and sold by the iSlovern- ment in 1854. In 1855, . considerable number of settlers began to come in, take up lots, and clear off the timber. In 1856, the Grey MOUNT FOREST. 171 per annum, in side of the town-plot was sold; and operations to "make a town" were vigorously commenced. The " Maitland Mills," now called " Martin's Mills," a half mile down the stream from the Garafraxa Road, had been built in 1850. In 185G, D. Ycomans built a Saw- mill in the village, and started what by way of pleasantry was called a " pepper-mill," ii temporary Grist-mill, with stones H feet in diam- eter ; .-'hich, however, answered for the time a very good purpose. In 1859, the present Flouring-mill of Mr. Yeomivns' was built, super- seding the " pepper-mill," which had done duty for three years pre- viously. Mount Forest Mills. — David Yeomans, Esij., proprietoi' ; situated in the river valley, at S. E. end of the villtigo. They consist of a Grist-mill (frame), with H run of stones.; William Henderson is the Lessee ; and a Sawmill, Elijah Whelpley, Lessee. A quarter mile further down the stream is Mr. Yeomans' WoUen Factory, John Campbell, Lessee. The ^\^)ollen-mill has one com- plete set of manufacturiijg machines, :md also docs custom carding, weaving, fulling, &c. It was built about (5 years ago. Martin's Flour-mills. — Built in 1850. A little distance below the Woollen-mill last mentioned. Formerly known as '' The Mait- land Mills." John Martin, Esq., is the proprietor. Mr. Martin has ain) a Sawmill attached to the property.

Vulcan Foundry. — A new Foundry on Wellington-st. At the time these sheets were prepared for the press, the foundry was indeed in operation, but scarcely yet in complete order, the buildings having only been got ready during the past winter. The main building is not yet erected ; but the iron-planing and wood-planing-machines, iron and wood-turning lathes, &c.,s!tc., are all in operation. The Engine is 8-horse power, but can be wrought up to 12. Everything connected with this new enterprise is being pushed on vigorously. The card of the proprietors will be found in another place. Hartley, Ashley, & Co., Proprietors. Ainley's Tannery is in the N. W. part of the town, near Bentley's Steam Mills. Business commenced in 1861. Steam is not yet used, though it is contemplated, and the arrangements of the building cal- culated for it. Thomas Ainley, Proprietor. Public Buildings.- Beginning at S. end of the town we first come to the Episcopa-1 Church (St. Pauls') a plastered building, con- siderably enlarged last year. It is near the Market Square, on high ground, overlooking the river. The Roman Catholic Church (St. Mary's) stands a little further North on somewhat higher ground, and is distinctly visible from all portions of the town. It is an imposing brick edifice, the finef^t of the kind in thecour.ty. Erected last y6ar, at a cost of $4,000. The outside is finished, but work is still going on inside. It will cost, when finished, $6,000. llev. P. S. Maheut, priest. On the opposite corner of Queen street (at corner of Fergus street) is the new Wesley an Methodist Church (brick). It was opened for Divine worship in January, 1865. A neat and commo- dious building. Rev. S. C. Philp, Jr., Supt. 174 MOUNT FOREST.

(on the Kgremont side (»f the town) are Fergus and E,i];reniont-sts , parallel with the principal st.cet; and on MOUNT FOREST. 175 the West or Normanby side are Elgin and Normanby-sts , likewise parallel with Main-st. The cross streets are short, and as yet unim- portant, with the exception of Queen-st., which ibrnis the County line, and extends out ihto the country in both directions. Tiie bridge over the Saugeen on Main-st. is the (>nly bridge of importance in the municipality. It was carried away by the bursting of the dam three or four years ago, and; after a long delay, re-built. Incorporation, &C,— About a year ago steps were taken to have the place incorporated ".s a village. Joying as it does in two (V)untie.s, there was, as might be expected, a difference of opinioji as to which County it was most expedient to be attached. A vote taken by direction of the Co. Council of Grey, in the latter j)art of 1HG4, re- sulted in a majority of 30 in favor of connection with Cilrey; but it was claimed that the result of the Municipal Election in January, 1865, neutralized that vote, a.s three Councillors out of five were returned favourable to Wellington. Meanwhile, first the Wellington County Council, and then tliat of (irey, severally, by by-law, attached Mount Forest to their respective Counties. The question was there- fore left to the Governor-in-Council to decide, and by Proclamation to give legal notice of the decision. As the.se sheets are passing through tiie press, the Proclamation is daily looked for ; and if possi- ble will be noted in the Appendix A Railway has long been talked of, from (Juelph, through Fergus or Elora, and Arthur. Such an extension would place Mount Forest in a very favoured position, as the centre of a new and ri(;h ai^ricul- tural country. But times are at present unfavourable for su<*h enterprises.

There are two small Lakes in the County of Grey called " Moun- tain Lake." The first and best known is in St. Vincent TownBhil^, within ten miles of Cape Rich, and near the residence of Col. W. Watson, which overlooks it. It is about a quarter of a mile wide, and a mile and a quarter long, lies embosomed in hills except at its Eastern end ; is at a considerable altitude above Georgian Bay and has no visible outlet. The surplus waters of the lake percolate through the gravelly ridge that bounds its Eastern end, and form, a short distance below, a small stream, which, somewhat reinforced by other springs, turns Carson's Mill at the shore of Georgian Bay. The other " Mountain Lake" is in the township of Keppel, between the 17th and 18th (,'oncessions. It is irregular in shape, about two miles long and from a quarter to three quarters of a mile broad. Its waters are clear, and are reported to abound in fish. It is almost entirely surrounded by perpendicular limestone cliffs. MURRAY'S CORNERS. Otherwise known as " Mclnnis' Corners," and sometimes as "Holland Corners." This is a hamlet in the township of Holland, on the Toronto and Sydenham Road, 3J m. from Chatsworth. This Road, running S. E. and N. W. cuts across the meeting of a Con- cession road and Side-line, making "Six Corners," by which name indeed it is sometimes called. The Township Council of Holland hold their meetings at the " Corners." It contains a small public Hall, built by Mr. Jacob Rose, and used for public worship by the Baptists and Methodists, and for other purposes — a Tavern, a Store, and a Blacksmith's Shop. There are two Shoemakers, a Farrier, and a Tailor at the Corners ; and a Waggon-shop near by. There is no Post-ofiice as yet — but should be. Population 70. Chatsworth is the neairest P. 0.

NEWSTADT. A thriving village in the Township of Normanby, half a mile from thd County line of Bruce, and 5 m. S. of the Durham Gravel Road at Hanover, and about 20 m, from Mount Forest. It is 7 m. direct N, of Clifford, on the Elora and Sau2;een Road, to which point great efforts are being made to get a Gravel Road, to start from Hanover, passing through Newstadt to Clifford, the whole length of which would be 12 miles. The work will probably be taken up by a pri- vate Company, as the County Municipalities do not seem inclined to assist. Newstadt (signifying " New town," a name applied to several places in Germany), is exclusively a German village, and lies in an exclusively German settlement. Its population is 300, and increasing. It contains a Flouring-mill, Sawmill, Flax-mill (near by). Brewery, Tannery, Post-office, 3 Stores, 3 Hotels, 2 Blacksmith- shops, &o., &c. There is also a School-house, in which the resident Lutheran Minister preaches every second Sabbath, and a Roman Catholic Church (unfinished). Newstadt was not (like Ay ton) a Government " town-plot." D. Winkler, Esq., " squatted," as it is called, in 1855. In 1856, he obtained, by purchase, 400 acres, where Newstadt now stands. A beautiful little stream runs through it, a tributary of the S. fork of the Saugeen, which latter flows past the village in a N.W. direction, about ^ a mile to the East. Mr. Winkler put up a f^awmill in 1855, and a Flouring-mill in 1857 (finished in 1858). In '65, all was " bush." In '56 the village plot was surveyed, and a few settlers began to find their way to it. In '57 the Post-office was established, and Mr. Winkler appointed Postmaster, a situation he still holds. The village stands on a piece of uneven ground, chiefly in a hollow beside the mill stream. If contains some good buildings, among which may be mentioned Zettler's " Commercial Hotel," a handsome stone structure. A Woollen Mill is needed, and opera- tions are commencing for the building. A Waterloo firm have also purchased a site on which to erect a Foundry. The Flouring Mill is 3^ storeys high, the lower storey being stone. Has two run of stones. The Sawmill is supplied with water from the same dam. David Winkler, Proprietor. The Tannery is the property of John Wienert. Business was commenced in 1859. Mr. Wienert has since added Boot and Shoe making to his business. The Brewery was built in 1859. Stone building. H. Hue- ther, proprietor; who reports his operations to be extending ©very year. NEW8TADT. 187 Hue- ©very The Flax Mill is nearly f mile East of the village, on the S. fork of the Saugeen. There is no manufacture of linen at the mill; the flax is merely "scutched." Messrs. Ferine & Hendry are the Proprietors. The mill was put in operation in 1864; and has, therefore, at this present writing, been in operation but for one season. The products of the mill are sent to Canestoga, where Messrs. Ferine hnve a similar mill ; and the flax from both mills is sent to Doon, in Waterloo, and there spun, woven and bleached. The coarser and stronger fabrics only are made as yet, but arrangements are in progress to manufacture fine bleached linens. The proprietors of the Newstadt Flax Mill are anxious to get all the flax straw they can ; and are ready at all times to furnish, without expense, seed to parties willing to grow flax. An equal quantity of seed may be returned in ihe fall ; or, if the farmer pre- fers it, the value of the seed will be charged against him when he sells his flax-straw. The '* straw," as pulled and dried in the fields (without rotting, and with the seed on), is worth from $9 to $10 per ton at the mill; or, if of extra quality, perhaps $11. If the farmer should thresh and rot it himself, he may seed the segu and get the flax scutched on " shares ;" in which case the scutched flax is weighed, and he receives the half. He may then either manufacture his half, or sell it to the mill at the market price ; usually about 10c. per lb. The winter of 1864-5 was the first season for the Mill. The business of the coming season is anticipated to be very much larger. In fact, but a limited number of the farmers round heard in sufii- cient time that a certain market would bo found for their flax ; or, hearing, had perhaps full confidence in the arrangements being car- ried out. Now, with the, Mill in active operation, and seed offered them in any quantities they choose to sow, the case is different. The proprietors are prepared to buy all the seed they can get at $1 12i per bushel, or to rent all the suitable land they can find. aL about ^5 an acre, prepared for sowing ; the farmer harrowing in (but not finishing), the seed. The flax is all " dew-rotted." The streams in this limestone country are found to be too " hard" to answer well. Last autumn was a very favourable season for rotting ; but the long droughts of the summer effected the yield of flax, as it did of all other crops. The motive power is derived from the Saugeen River. In fact, a large power is not needed. The mill is frame ; one end somewhat barn-like, for storing the " straw." The other half contains the scutching machinery, which is very simple. The flax (being already rotted and threshed), first goes through the " breaker," a heavy sharp- ribbed iron roller, several times ; and then through " roughing" and 188 NBW8TADT. "finishing" processes; when it is "scutched," and ready for ship- ment. The "waste" is likewise baled up and sent off ; and after undergoing a cleaning process, finds a market as " oakum," &c. About 16 bands are employed ; 13 of whom are in the mill. The New Flouring-mill, standing close beside the Flax-mill, is a tall four-storey building, erected during the past season by D. Winkler, Esq. At the present writing, the building is enclosed and roofed, the lower floor laid, and part of the machinery within, ready to put to its place. The lower storey is stone, the superstructure frame. It is intended for four run of stones. An Hydraulic Canal of considerable length, conveys water from the dam of the Saugcen direct to the Mill ; and the water is discharged again at a lower bend of the river, a few feet in rear of the Mill.

NEWASH. The name of the Indian Village over against Owen Sound Town. So named from Newash, the Ojibway Chief, who was dwelling there among his tribe when the settlements began in this County. Newash, used to say that he had lived there all his life, as had his father and grandfather beforo him. It is much to be regretted that the ambition of Lord Bury (for a short time Chief Superintendent of Indian Affairs) to celebrate the name and exploits of his family (vide the names Keppel, Albermarle, Sarawaik, Brooke, Bury, St. Edmund), should have tempted him to change the name from Newash, to Brooke on the surrender of the Reserve. For further description, see the article " Brooke," in the Appendix. NORMANBY TOWNSHIP. The Township of Normanby, named after the British nobleman of that name, lies at the S. W. corner of the County of Grey, having the Township of Bentinok on the North, Egremont on the East, the Township of Minto, in Wellington, on the South, the Township of Howie, in Huron, at the S. W. corner, and Carrick, in Bruce., on the West. It is one of the best townships in the County, one of the newest, and by the census of 1861 the most populous. As elsewhere mentioned, the Garafraxa Road (forming its Eastern boundary) was run out by John McDonald, P.L.S., of Goderich, in 1841. At that time only one parallel Concession on each side was laid out ; but in 1845, a second and third tier of lots were laid off on each side. These constitute what may be called the " Old Sur- vey," in Normanby and other townships. The front lots were given in 50-acre "grants" to actual settlers, and the road soon began to be lined with a thin fringe of settlements. In 1861 the survey of the rest of the township was taken hold of by the late David Gibson, P.L.S., and finished either that or the following year. The "New Survey " was first held for sale by the Government in 1866. For a year or two before that date, however, there had been a great influx MUNICIPAL OFFICERS. 191 of the of German immigrants, filling up Carrick, and parts of Normanby, Brant and Bentinck. These squatters purchased the lots on which they had settled ; and the face of the country soon began to show the hand of improvement. It is remarked through Canada that not only do Germans make enterprising and reliable settlers, but that they seldom 'Mocate" on poor land. Normanby is no exception. The Western and South-western half of the township is excellent land, not troubled with excess of stones, and lying handsomely. The Saugeen River, in its passage from Mount Forest to Hanover, divides the township diagonally into rather unequal parts, the N. E. being the lai^er. The part S.W. of the river is the finest part of the township, and is chiefly in the hands of the Dutch. While there are some beautiful landc at different points on the Garafraxa Road, the Eastern part of the township has a considerable amount of swampy and gravelly land." The prevailing soil in Normanby is clay. Normanby has two villages entirely within its limits — Ayton and Newstadt, and Mount Forest and Orchardville partly within it. It has several Grist and Sawmills, Stores and country Taverns. A curious system has been in vogue respecting Assessors and Col- lectors. An Assessor and a Collector is appointed annually for each Ward in the Township. The latter may work satisfactorily ; but, with five Assessors, the Court of Revision must have an unusual amount of business.

It is on the North Shore of the Township of Keppel —hence the name. The land in the vicinity is good, and a large and flourishing settlement has spntng up since the land was sold in 1857. Mr. John Home put up a Sawmill five or six years ago, and is now making preparations to erect a Grist Mill also. A pretty little stream falls into the Bay at this point ; and there is a break in the bluffs that fringe the most of the shore, the land descending gently to the water. North Keppel is 18 m. from Owen Sound town. Mail every Tuesday from Owen Sound. BOYD, WILLIAM C, Farmer. DEWAE, ROBERT, Postmaster. HORNE, JOHN, Proprietor Sawmill. PICKEN, ROBERT, General Merchant. NOTTAWASAO-A RIVER. The Nottawasaga is a Branch of Simcoe River, and had the County line been three or four miles further West, would not have touched the County of Grey at all. Some of its tributaries rijein the Eastern edge of the County ; the Mad River in Osprey, and two branches of the Pine River in Melancthon. ORCHARD OR ORCHARDVILLE. A new village on the Garafraxa Road, 8 m. S. of Durham, and 8 m. N. of Mount Forest. It is partly in Normanby, and partly in Egremont. It was laid out as a village by the Proprietor of the 902 OSrRST TOWNSHIP. ground, John Orchard, Esq., in 1858, and named Orohardville. When a Post-office was applied for, it was granted, under the name of " Orchard." The P. 0. authorities have a great horror of un- necessarily long names, and an especial dread of multiplying villes. It may he stated, as an item for the curious, that there are fewer names of Post-offices ending in villc now than four years ago ! About that time we ran over the Post-office list, and found there were 1600 Post-offices in Canada ; and of those 130 ended in ville; a class of names wc took occasion to say, that seemed alarmingly on the in- crease. At the close of 1864, there wore within a dozen of twenty one hundred Post-offices, and only one hundred and ten villea among them ; an actual diminution of the number, which no one will regret. It thus happens that though Orchardville is the name of the vil- lage, as set forth in all the title deeds, '' Orchard" is the name of the P. 0., and is likely soon entirely to supersede the longer name. There is no water-power at Orchard. It contoins, in addition to the Store and Post-office of Mr. Caldwell, a Tavern, a Blacksmith-shop, Shoemaker's-shop, &c. . Mails are daily in both directions ; being on the Htage-road from Guclph to Owen Sound. Population, 80. Allan, James, Boot and Shoemaker. Allan, John, Shoemaker. Batey, Isaac, Farmer.

This is one of the Eastern Townships of the County; having CoUingwood township on the North, Nottawasaga (in Simcoe) on the East, Melanothon on the South, and Artemisia on the West. It is a high level upland township, of the richest soil ; soil clay loam, on a gravelly subsoil. It ought to be one of the finest and most productive among the Agricultural townships of Upper Canada. Cij OSPREY TOWNSHIP. 203 For some years past, however, it has been much uffeotcd with lute frosts in Spring and early frosts in Autumn, or rather in the end of Summer, very greatly to the damage of Spring wheat and Hay crops. During the last two years, a much larger breadth of Fall Wheat has been sown ; and, as it has been found to succeed well so far, high hopes are entertained that things will yet turn out well for Agricul- ture in Osprey. It is a curious fact that there are scarcely any forest trees in Os- prey other than maple or elm. Pine, Hemlock, Beech and Bass- wood, arc almost unknown. A fine growth of almost exclusively maple covers the uncleared portions. OHprey occupies the highest of the elevated plateau between Georgian Bay and Lakes Krie and Ontario, and sends waters to Georgian Bay both by the Beaver and Nottawasaga Rivers, and to Lake Huron by the Saugcon. Its ele- vation will be from 1000 to 1200 feet above Georgian Bay. SpringH abound in the township ; some of them magniiicent fountain-heads ; making pools that never freeze, many yards across, with hard bot- toms of marly limestone, and forming mill streams at once. Thus at Foversham, the Beaver is (juite a river-like stream, though only three or four miles from its highest source. The air is of the purest and most exhilarating character; and the general health of the township always most excellent. Is it too much to look forward a generation, and see in fancy water-cures and Hygienic retreats established on this airy upland, beside some of these pure head- springs ? Osprey, though an inland township, is well situated for Markets. Its nearest corner comes within about seven miles of CoUingwood Harbour. CoUingwood is, and always has been, the chief Market- town for Osprey ; as, before CoUingwood town was in existence, Osprey contained but a very few settlers. The " Durham and Col- lingwood " (iravel Koad runs directly across the township, as nearly as possible in the centre, and gives a good access toward market in either direction. Feversham, Maxwell and Singhampton, also ofler home-markets for merchantable produce. Artemisia and Osprey were surveyed by Chas. Rankin, Esq., P.L.S., in 1849 and '50. A few settlers had come into the Eastern part of Osprey, next Nottawasaga, before the lands were in market ; but it was in 1855 and the two following years that the bulk of the lands were " taken up." It was chiefly settled with people from the (vjunties of York and Peel ; jjeople who had some experience of Canadian life, and calculated to " pu.sh." Their industry and per severance would seem to deserve better success than has attended their olForts for two or three years past. Perhaps if Fall Wheat, &c., supersede the precarious Spring Wheat, so liable to injury from 204 OSPRBT TOWNSHIP. tr- ibe frosts, a brighter day may be dawning upon them. The Sonth- Eastern part of the township is occupied by Highlanders, mostly from the " Islands." The second generation will make excellent settlers ; but the original immigrants (and the same remark applies to the majority of the Irish immigrants in the County), have so little idea of life in the bush, and are so apt to sit down contented with any condition that is somewhat better than they had at "home," that they do not "go ahead," as do settlers reared in the country. Osprey, as well as some others of the Eastern townships, was ori- ginally attached to the County of Simcoe, and then to the County of Wellington ; and handed over to Grey, upon the latter being erected into a separate County. In consequence, the Municipality has been, for several years, paying instalments of the old County debts of both these Counties, and though nearly through with such payments, is notyet quite clear. Tlie original " Durham Road" crosses the township from East to West about two miles from its South border. Three Concessions parallel with that Road are laid off on each side, in 50-acre lots, and originally granted to actual settlers, free. It is a fine tract of land. The Southernmost of the three lines of road especially, called the " South Line of Osprey," presents a series of beautiful farms ; the land lying very handsomely, and being of the richest soil. On this line (lot t)5, 3rd Con. S. Durham Road), about two miles from the town-line of Nottawasaga, is the highest land in the Western penin- sula, actually measured. The late David Gibson, Esq., P.L. S, made it 1,180 feet above Georgian Bay. Other Surveyors have made it as much as 1,248 feet. Census Reports.—Population in 1861, 2,201 ; natives of Eng- land and Wales, 183 ; Scotland, 344 ; Ireland, 344; Canada, 1,307 ; all other countries, 21. Occupiers of lands, 402 ; of whom 24 held less than 50 acres each ; 65 held from 50 to 100 acres each ; 311 from 100 to 200 acres each; and 2 upwards of 200 acres each. Fall Wheat raised, 118 bushels; Spring Wheat, 38,733 bushels Barley, 2,713 bushels ; Pease, 5,257 bushels; Oats, 19,272 bushels Potatoes, 29,872 bushels; Turnips, 75,385 bushels; Hay, 675 tons Maple Sugar, 8;760 1bs.; Wool, 1,766 lbs.; Butter, 19,145 lbs. Cheese, 409 lbs.; Pork, 362 bbls. With respect to the above figures, it may be observed that the four years that have intervened since the Census was taken have done wonders in the way of increase of products, notwithstanding the drawbacks of " Summer frosts." As an instance,— one ^rm in the township purchased last year 32,000 bushels of grain ; although the OSftlEY TOWNSHIP. 205 Eng- ,307; whole amount of grain raised (not " sold"), in 1860 was 66,093 bushels. The same firm purchased last year 50,000 lbs. pork; although the w?iole amount slaughtered in 1860, was 72,400 lbs. Fidl Wheat is also now taking its place as an important product in the township, though it figures in ^ery insignificant proportions ^.n the Census of 1861.

In giving a rapid sketch of the town of Owen Sound, the County Town of Grey, it is not necessary to go very far back into the past ; for the "oldest inhabitant" has not yet, by virtue of his residence, become very venerable. The place dates from the year 1840. In that year, John Telfer, Esq., formerly of Dumfries township, was appointed, under Lord Sydenham, then Governor-General, Agent for the locality, and arrived via St. Vincent, in a batteau, early in the fall. A small portion of the town-plot had been surveyed in 1837 by Charles Rankin, Esq , P.L.S., as well as the original line of the Giirafraiia Road, leading South to the settlements of the Wellington District. Mr. Rankin and his party were again ordered to Owen Sound in 1840. They landed at the river edge, at the foot of Union Street, under the overhanging cedars that almost hid the sky, coming from Pcnetanguishene in batteaux. Mr. Telfer got up the " body " of his first log-house while they were there." They laid out a portion of the valley into half-acre lots, and went off" again on the 11th November. At that time the site of the town had a very forbidding aupcct. Tangled cedar, hemlock and balsam, covered the whole flat. The River was choked up with decaying logs. The cedars leaned iicroBs the stream and met overhead, almost shutting out the light of day ; and near the mouth of the river was an unsavoury marsh on cither side, alive with frogs and mosquitoes. in 1841, the first settlers began to come into " Sydenham," as it was for many years called. During the summer, Mr. Telfer had Union Street chopped and Poulett Street "slashed." The latter wuH "logged up" next year. The first tavern was erected by Mr. 11, G. Campbell, on the present site of Coulson's British Hotel. Mr. W. C. Hoyd built the older part of the " Exchange Hotel," corner of Scropc and Union streets, and opened a house of entertainment and a Store. He was the first Storekeeper. Mr. Ilinchcliff was the pccond ; and Mr. George Brown, the present Postmaster, was the third.

OWEN SOUND. 215 For some time, Mr. Telfer acted as Postmaster, but without the appointment. The nearest Post-office was St. Vincent P.O., Mea- ford, kept by the late W. Stephenson. Mr. Stephenson would send over letters and papers, as he found opportunity, to Mr. Telfer ; and kept a " petty account " with him. When the place seemed to need a Post-office, the present Postmaster, (Jeorge Brown, Esq., was ap- pointed. For some years the mail route was from Barrie, via St. Vincent. In 1844, Bishop Strachan visited "Sydenham," coming round on the steamer " Gore," Capt. James Dick. In 1851, Lord Elgin visited the place, arriving in the Government steamer " Mohawk," and remaining a couple of days. In 1848 the first Division Court was held, Judge Powell of Wellington presiding. In 1851, W. A. Stephens was appointed Collector. R. Carney, Esq., had previously held the office ; but, on being transferred to another port, he resigned. In the same year the " Comet" newspaper was established. In the fall of 1853, the " Lever " and '' Times " were started ; the latter being still published. The Court House and Gaol were built in 1853. The first Quarter Sessions for the County were held in the Spring of 1854. Tk<) late F. T. Wilkes was the first County Judge. In 1856, the population of the town was found to be 1,985. A Special Act of Incorporation as a Town, under the name of Owen Sound, was applied for, and passed ; and the first election of Coun- cillors took place in January, 1857. Richard Carney, Esq., was the first Mayor. > The population of the town is now 2,400. OWEN BOUND Id situated at the head of the Sound of that name, an arm of Georgian Bay, and at the mouth of the Sydenham liiver, which runs through tlie town. The valley in which the town is situated, opening out upon the waters of the Sound, is about half a mile wide and a mile and a half long; skirted with hills on each side about 100 feet high. Above the hills is a beautiful upland, which in process of time will be a favourite spot for private residences, a few of which already make their appearance. The town occupies a considerable space of ground, and is not yet very closely built. Poulett Street is the prin- cipal business street, and contains some substantial .ntonc and brick buildings. Thtf River has been improved in its navigation, and ad- mits vessels drawing seven to ten feet of water, up to the Swing iiridu;e, near the centre of tlie town. {Sce^^ The River.'")

The Court House of the County was erected in 1853. It is a plain structure of stone, standing on slightly elevated ground, over- looking the harbor and mouth of the river. The gaol is attached to the Court House, occupying the rear wings of the building. The insecurity of the latter has become a proverb in the County; as scarcely a year passes but some prisoner escapes. The ground-floor of the County Buildings contains the offices of the Registrar of Deeds, the County Treasurer, the County Court Clerk, the Sheriff, and the Clerk of the Peace, opening upon a central corridor that traverses the building. Above are the Court llooni, a fine lofty apart- ment; the Judges' Koom; the Grand Jury Boom, and two Petit Jury Rooms. The Common and Gramipar {Schools are accommodated in a sub- stantial and plain stone building, on Hill-st, not far from the Court House. The building is the property of the School Corporation, and was erected seven or eight years ago. The number of pupils in the various departments has been so great, that for some years a junior division has been accommodated in a separate building. St. George's Church (Episcopal) stands at the foot of Division-st. hill, at East side of the town. Tt is a rough-cast frame building, built in 1852, and enlarged three or four years ago. It has a small tower surmounted with a belfry, containing a bell of moderate dimen- sions. The Wesleyan Chapel stands on Scrope-st.. near the centre of the town. It is a stone building erected in 1851, but greatly enlarged a few years ago. It is now the largest church in the town. The N. C. Methodist Chapel is a neat stone building on Baker-st., toward the Eastern side of the town, erected seven or eight years ago. The United Presbyterian (now Canada Presbyterian) Church Ironts on l)ivision-st. It is a frame building, plastered to intimate stone. A large and comfortable house. The Free Church, (now Canada Presbyterian), is a frame build- ing on Boyd-st , near the foot of Union-st. hill, built about 5 years. The Congregational Chapel is a frame building on West side of the River, midway between the bridges. Built in 185G. The Baptist Chapel is occupied during the week for a junior di- vision of the Common School, as v.oll as by the congregation on the Sabbath. It is a frame plastered building on Hill-st., near the school.

Manufactiires. Harrison's Flouring Mill is a very large and substantial frame building, at the South end of the town, on the Sydenham River. The present Mill was erected in 1857. It is 100 x 49 feet, 4^ storeys high, including the stone basement storey. It is well finished, and contains three run of stones. The premises are calculated for six run. A large amount of flouring is done at the " Owen Sound Mills;" the flour being shipped via Collingwood by steamer in sum- mer, and teamed to that town by road in winter. Harrison Brothers, Proprietors. Harrison's Sawmill is built upon the most approved modern principles, with large circular saw, lath saws, &c. Average cutting, about 500 ft. per hour. The present mill was built in 1863 ; the old Sawmill being pulled down to make room for it. Harrison, Brothers. Harrison's Carding and Fulling Mill is situated between the Flouring-mill and the Sawmill, occupying the stone building formerly used as a Grist-mill. It contains 2 Carding Mills, and the usual apparatus for fulling and finishing cloth. Chatuoin <«» > < PERFUMERY, PAINTS & OILS, Horse & €attle Mediciues, Field & Garden Seeds. C. E. BARN HART, M. D.

These are the "broken fronts" along the River. Many of them have been leased out by the Corporation ; for which, as it would now appear, there was no authority. Whatever may be done with the River frontages on East side of the River, the public will, we hope, see to it that the frontages on West side of the river, between the two lower Bridges, are reserved as a spot of orna- mental ground. It would be vandalism to do otherwise. The Marsh. On both sides of the River, near its mouth, is a tract of marshy ground, but slightly elevated above the bay ; which is valueless at present, except as an occasional grazing spot for cattle. When the River wis dredged five years ago, it was urged that the material should be used to " make land " on the Marsh ; but it was found expensive, and abandoned. Merchants and Dealers. Among so many in the same line it might appear invidious to particularize, and a general list comes more appropriately in the Alphabetical lists of Trades and Professions ; to which the reader is referred. There has been a very great improvement in the appear- ance of the MerchantrShops within the last eight years. Before that time there was not a handsome shop-front nor a shop of large dimen- sions in the place Now, Owen Sound can compare favourably with any similar town in the Province in these respects. The shop-fronts of Buchan and Price, x^arker & Cattle, and in James Butchart's new Building, are conceded to be very handsome. Institutions and Societies. Mechanics' Institute. Established in 1855.

WINDOW SASH KEPT ON HAND AND MADE TO OEDEE. WM. KENNEDY & SONS. OWEN SOUND. 235 Within " Squaw Point" (4 m. from the town), is considered the Harbour. The anchorage at this distance from the town, is about 20 fathoms. It gradually sho's toward the head of the bay, having a clay bottom ; till after passing Boyd's old wharf (in 12 ft. water, at present), the bottom becomes fine sand and the '' Bar" is reached. At the outer stake, which shows the North end of the dredged channel, the water is now 8 fc3t ; but is to be deepened. At some points within, it is even less ; a state of affairs which has led, during the past winter, to an appropriation of $10,000 by the town, for the pur- pose of re-dredging the channel and riv^er to a depth of 10 or 12 feet. The Harbour is tolerably well sheltered from almost all winds. The only wind that raises a swell is N. N. E. As the prevailing winds are N. and N. W., the shelter is found very complete. The advantages of Owen Sound Harbour pointed it out as the natural terminus of the Northern Railway, intended to connect Toronto with Georgian Bay ; but the interest of parties holding wild lands at the Hen and Chickens, secured its terminus at that place, and the form- ing of breakwaters and artificial protection at Collingwood. The Sydenham River, which occupies so conspicuous a place in a survey of the town, makes an exceedingly poor show on the Admiralty Charts by Capt. Bayfield, made 40 years ago. It is put down as a creek too shallo^^ at the mouth to admit boats ; and " half a mile up, the stream becomes rapid." The probability is that the silt at the mouth of the river was more of an obstruction then tnan when the settl< ment was begun ; for no one now residing in the place asserts finding at any time less than 2^ feet w.n.ter on the bar. The depth generally found on the shallowest part was 3 feet, sometimes 3^ feet. Or the oft-noticed rising and falling in the Lake might partially account for it. It might have been a season of very low water ; or more probably, it might have been after a long-continued N. wind, which sometimes drains Georgian Bay, at least its Southern shores, of a foot or more water. Fite years ago a channel was dredged across the bar, several hun- dred yards in length, about 100 feet broad, and 12 feet deeyy (the water was then nearly two feet higher than at present). Inside the river the improved channel follows a bend in the river, and then reaches the " Basin," a triangular dredged space sufficiently large for a Steamboat to be swung round in. From the Basin to the Swing- bridge at Division Street, the river banks are perfectly straight. This was all brought to an uniform depth of 11 feet five years ago ; and though the fall of the water and silting of the channel has reduced the depth two or three feet in some places, its former depth will be restored during the summer of 1865. $25,000 were expended on JAMES DOUGLAS, T4II^st.

It is a beautiful sheet of water, and one of which the inhabitants of the county town are justly proud. It opens out to the N. N. E. into Georgian Bay or Lake Manitou. being 8 miles in breadth at the headlands bounding it — Point William or Vail's Point, and Cape Commodore. From these headlands, it runs up into the land 12^ Geographic, or about 15 Statute miles. It is remarkably free from islands and shoals. With the exception of a shoal at Vail's Point (extending out about a mile), there is neither island nor shoal in its whole extent. Its safety and easy access make it a magnificent sheltering bay for heavy weather. With all possible respect for the inestimable services of Capt. Owen and Admiral Bayfield, we must say that the name of Sound, as applied to this sheet of water, is a misncmer. It is neither a Sound, with respect to its shallownes'^^ • ? water, nor as being li? any sense a channel connecting other waters. It is a Bay, and a vc;; , fine one. Its depth, on a line betwficn the two outok* headlands, s 360 feet. The water shoals toward each shore, and decreases in depth toward the head of the ** Sound," with considerable regularity. It becomes, from 60 fathoms, 50 fc,rhv'ms, then 40 ; at Squaw Point, 4 m. from the head of the bay, it somewhat suddenly comes down to 20 fathoms in depth. From that it deceases steadily, till the bar is reached outside the mouths of the Sydenham and Pottawata- mie Rivers. Owen's Sound is sheltered from N. and N. W. winds, the prevail- ing winds of the region. It lies somewhat open to N. E. ani' ^ N. E. winds, and vessels are sometimes wind-bound in OTsres, s. cd harbour till u shift in the wind gives them a chance for tacking. The bottom is generally clay. On each side of the " Sound," a ridge runs with more or less r^u- !arit^' parallel with the shore, but generally about a mile back from the water. The Eastern shore (in the township of Sydenham), lies in man^ places pretty lov overed with hemlock and other timber lovirr « 'Id moist soil, i n consequence, th*? well cleared-up farms 264 OWEN SOUND TO COLLINGWOOD. lie on the higher level back, and the shore has few cleared openings. On the Western side (Sarawak and Keppcl townships), the land is drier directly on the shore, and it is becoming well opened up. We much mistake if the Owen's Sound slope of Kcppel and Sarawak docs not yet become (^/^l (ol r\s it is from the North and West), the best fruit grow* li^ loci-iiii.; in these Northern counties. The Sound generally fro3Z(!S in the winter about half its distance out ; the outer half bein^ only frozen for a mile or so next the shores. There is seldom much ice till late in January. Floating ice is sometimes brought in from the North shore in the Spring by Nortliorly winds ; but navigation is generally open two wf*<^^ ' after Lake Ontario ports ; in fact, as soon as vessels could ii; ilvu iioia. belj.7. This bay is becoming a favorite resort for summer tourists ; and is much used by the people of Owen Sound town for boating and sniUng. During the summer months, there is great regularity in the w?'^ I. A light South wind prevails in the morning, blowing off the lanii, which changes about 10 o'clock to a Northerly wind of delight- ful coolness, lasting till four or five o'clock in the afternoon. About o'clock there is generally a dead calm. Pleasure parties, awake to these peculiarities, can generally manage to get a fair wind both to go down the bay and to come back. The vicinity of the Indian and Indian Fails, is a favorite resort for pleasure parties. OWEN SOUND TO COLLINGWOOr. The road from Owen Sound to Collingwood is gravelled to within five miles of the latter place, the improvement ceasirtg at the county line between Grey and Simcoe. Before the gravelling, the route, except as a winter road in sleighing, was scarcely practicable for loaded teams. It is now a well travelled road, all the year round. After rising out of the valley of Owen Sound, and attaining the first table-land, at the distance of 3 m. from the town, we come to Manders' Corners, where the Sydonham " I^ako Shore" road comes in from the North (our direction toward Collingwood is Easterly). W. Wilkinson keeps a comfortable Hotel at the Corners. We shortly after rise to a higher table-land, by a rock-cutting in the road, and our next stage is to Woodford, 9 jn. from Owen Sound, and half way to 3Ieaford. We look in vain for a village, but there iire two taverns and a Post-office. Hill's N. American Hotel is a good and popular house. Before arrivinrr at Woodibrd we had crossed a great gully and ascended a steep, ci Ing up the side of a perpendicular rock, and had passed througl . irip f the stoniest land to be seen for m'^jny miles. We must nov judge the township of Sydenham by this strangely unfavorable sample of it. About a mile from Wood- OWEN SOUND TO DURHAM AND MOUNT FOREST. 265 ford, we arc in the township of St. Vincent, and have passed over the highest ground between Owen Sound and Meaford — about 600 feet above (icorgian Bay. When witliin about 5 ni. of Meaford, we eoine out on a high piece of the road, and see .stretched before u.-t the broad waters of the Lake in front, with the shores of Nottawasaga Bay and the Christian Islands in the far distance, and u large portion of St. Vincent town- ship to the right and left, and in front. From this point to the Lake seems all descent. Before we reached there, we have passed Leavens' Post-office on our left distant about 15 m. from Owen Sound. After reaching the shore, the gravel road turns to the right, and follows shore a mile to the village of Meafoud, 18^ m. from Owen Sound. From Meaford, we rvn back from the shore nearly a mile, and just before commencing a very long slope, turn off to the left and resume our former Easterly course. The road is a little winding in plnccs, but on the whole keeps pretty near the f hore ; and in due time we arrive at Thornbury, between 8 and 9 m. from Meaford, or 27 m. from Owen Sound. The road from here to Collingwood is pretty level, and ibllows the shore closely, the traveller being seldom out of sight of the Lake. Three miles E. of Thornbury is Milli- gan's Hotel, a comfortable stopping-place. Four miles further is Mrs. Cook's tavern ; and near by, but at a most inconvenient distance from the Road, is Craigleith Post-office. At Milligan's the " Blue Mountains" come out quite close to the Lake. The road just skirts the base. At t' iS point the mountain is 750 feet above the Lake. In rear of Craigleith P. 0., a point is 900 feet high. We see, as wc skirt the foot of the mountain, where the Shale Oil works were once in operation, but now abandoned. (See Blue Mountains.) A mile from Craigleith, we enter the County of Simcoe. The road is gravelled no more, but pursues its way through sandy cedar swamps ; a passable road, considering all things. Five miles then bring us to CoLLiNawooD, distant by the road 41 m. from Owen Sound. OWEN SOUND TO DURHAM ^ND MOUNT FOREST. The great Northern highway, leading from Fergus to the waters of Owen's Sound is known in the County of Grey as the ' Garafraza Road;" as, when first run out it led from Garafraxa township, then the most Northerly settlement of the Wellington District, North- ward into the wilderness. At its lower end, it is generally called the ''Owen Sound Road." It is now gravelled throughout; the County of Grey portion having been done 4 years ago, as a part of the County Scheme of Roads, and the remaining portion (to a little beyond Arthur), done shortly after. 266 OWEN SOUND TO DUBHAM AND MOUNT FOBl^f.?. Commenoine: at the Eastern part of Owen Sound town-plot, on ihe high land overlooking the bay, we proceed South ; passing, at a dis- tance of two miles from the town, the North American Inn, and J. Thompson's Inn. Three miles further is Home's Inn. A mile further, on high upland, stands " Zion Chapel," a neat placd^ of wor- ship belonging to the Wesleyans. Within a mile of Johntown, or 8 m. from 0. Sound, we pass St. Paul's Church (Episcopal). Near ^by, is J. Green's Inn. At a rather romantic spot in the road we pass over the umall river Spey, an affluent of the Sydenham ; and soon come to Johntown or Chatsworth. This is 9 m. from 0. Sound. The Toronto and Sydenham Road, familiarly called the " Toronto Line " (a diagonal road running S. E. through the County for 40 m. and all gravelled), joins the Garafraxa Road at this place. A mile from Johntown, the traveller sees an unenclosed rolling stony tract on his left, and asking ''why so?" is informed that it is the village-plot of Grantown — a village which was surveyed out and sold in 1857, but has failed to be built. About 2 m. S. of Chatsworth P. 0. we come to a very complete Ashery belonging to the estate of R. B. Conger, Esq. It has been very little used ; though intended for the manufacture of potash on a large scale. A short distance E. of the road at this place, are the Grist-mill and Sawmill of Mr. Conger, called by him the " Spey Mills." Three miles further on is Sullivan P. 0. Five miles from Johntown, or 14 m. from 0. Sound, and just half-way to Durham, is the village-plot of Williamsford. The traveller, however, will hear of it only by the name of the "Sable." This is a general stopping place between the two larger towns. About 5 ra. from the " Sable" is " Griffin's Corner," where is a tavern and Htore. Latona P. 0. (late Glenelg P. 0.), is IJ m. beyond Griffin's Comer. We have here Bentinck on the right and Glenelg on the left. From Latona P.O. is 1^ m. to Grant's tavern ; then 1 m. to Dono- hue's Corner, and another mile to the Rocky Saugeen, 24^ m. from 0. Sound, and 3 J m. from Durham. J. Mcllroy's Hotel, at Rocky Saugeen, is one of the best houses on the road. Here is also a good Store. Here we pass the " Rocky" branch of the Saugeen, aj^cend a long hill, and drive into Durham, 28 m. from 0. Sound. From Durham to Mt. Forest, 16 m., the road is pretty heavy for the first half — long heavy hills, which though considerably cut down, are yet sufficiently formidable to the teamster and traveller. Three miles from Durham is the hamlet of Enniskillen, where there are two taverns and a store. Four or five miles more bring the traveller to Orchardville, a small village half-way on the road to Mt. Forest. Between two and three miles further he comes to Rogers' tavern and Burns' tavern, not very far apart ; having passed the store of Mrs. Buchan, and shortly after to the " 40-mile Swamp," so called, as it OXENDBN P. O. 26r at also 'hree are vreller jrest. and Mrs. as it is about 40 m. from Owen Sound. The next point is at Egremont P.O. (3 m. from Mt. Forest), where are two Hotels, Cringle's and Fries', and a good Store. Three miles more, through a prosperous settle- ment, conducts him to MpuNT Forest; where at the tall brick Store of D. Spence (Queen Street), he crosses the County line into Wellington. (See also " Tables of Distances" under articles " Mount Forest" and " Owen Sound.") OWEN SOUND AND SAUO-EEN ORAVEL ROAD. This road runs nearly direct West from Owen Sound, and is intended to connect that town with Southampton on Lake Huron. The distance between the two towns, in a direct line, is about 22 miles. The distance, by the Stage-route through the centre of the townships of Derby and Arran, is 32 miles. The Gravel road reaches only to the County line of Bruce, a distance of 9 ni. from Owen Sound. Here the travel turns off South toward Tara and Invcrmay. The great obstacle in getting the new road opened through to Southampton has been the Sable and Saugeen Rivers in the route, both of which would have to be bridged ; and the latter is a large and heavy stream. A grant from Grovernment has, however, been obtained this Spring (1865), to assist in bridging the Saugeen, and probably in another year this shorter route to Lake Huron will be open for travel. At the distance of two miles from Owen Sound, the road rises by a long cutting up the side of the rock to the table-land of Derby ; passing close to the pretty Falls of the Pottawatamie. Jones' Saw- mill and the Pottawatamie Biver are soon passed ; and at the distance of 8 m. from Owen Sound, we come to Alvanley P. 0. and T. Thomp- son's Inn. A mile further, near the end of the gravel is C. Ekins' Inn ; both in Derby. This road is through what is callel "The Half-mile Strip," a tract in Derby bordering on the township of Keppel, and acquired from the Indians some years ago for the purpose of running a Bead through it. (See " Centre Boad, Derby.") OXENDEN P. O. A Post-office on Colpoy'sBay (South side), about 18 m. in a direct line from Owen Sound, about 20 by the nearest opened-out road, and some 25 by the mail route via North Keppel. It is 30 m. from Owen Sound by water. It is in the N. W. part of the township of Keppel. There is a good settlement growing up round it, on the recent Indian Beserve, vacated by the tribe two or three years ago. Mails from Owen Sound (via Sarawak and N. Keppel and en-route for Colpoy's Bay Post-officeb), every Tuesday. James Atkey, Sr., Postmaster. 268 PRIOEVILLB. PINE RIVER. A Western branch of the Nottawasaga River, rising in Melancthon, and falling into the main Stream near Angus. It passes (then very near its source), Homing's Mills, driving the machinery there. Its descent from the high table land of Melancthon is astonishing ; fall- ing hundreds of feet in a mile or two. A large amount of water- power, now running waste might be had from this stream. (See ''Homing's Mills:') rOlNT WILLIAM. The name bestowed by .\dmiral Bayfield on the Southern outer headland of Owen's Sound ; since that day generally known as " Vail's Point;" which see. POMONO P. O. A Post-ofiice in township of Glenelg, 5 m. S. W. of Coma- buss P. 0. on " Toronto Line." The P. 0. was established in 1862. Mail every Saturday from Durham, distant 13^ m. There is a tavern at Pomona, John Martin, proprietor William Martin is the Postmaster, POTTAWATAMIE RIVER. A small river ri«ing in S. W. part of Derby, and after pursuing a N. E. course of 12 or 14 miles, falling into the waters of Owen's Sound, near the town of that name. There are three Sawmills on the Pottawatamie ; Coulter's near the centre of Derby, on one of its forks; Jones's, 2 m. from Owen Sound, near the falls; and Ormis- ton's, between Owen Sound and Brooke, about ^ mile from the mouth of the river. The river is very deep and still for a quarter of a mile up from the mouth. The Falls of the Pottawatamie are a short distance below Jones's Sawmill ; about 2 ni. from Owen Sound town. The river falls by two leaps twenty or thirty feet ; and when the stream is full in Spring and Fall, the sight is very pretty. It is within a gun shot of the new Giavel Boad to Saugeen. The rivor is a good deal fished for trout ; .'oo much indeed, and too near the town to be first-class fish- ing ground for the professed angler. It derives its name from a scattered portion of the Pottawatamie tribe of Indians settled at Newash among the Ojibways, when the settlements began in the neighbourhood. PRICEVILLE. A rising village of 250 inhabitants, in the S. W, part of the town- ship of Artemisia. It lies on the " Durham Boad." 10 m. East of Durham, where the main stream of the Saugeen River crosses the \V PEICEVILLE. 269 Durham Road, the river runoing in this part of its course North- westerly. A block of 1000 acres was reserved by Government when the Durham Road was laid out in 1848 and '49. The " Mill Plot," containing 309 acres, was sold by the Government some 7 yeu ^ ago, to David Yeomans, now of Mount Forest, who made the first im- provement, and built a Sawmill. Nex*, he built the Grist-mill. The mill property afterwards became the property of Alex. McDonald. Mr. Joseph Dickson is the present lessee of the Flouring-mill, and Mr. Donald McDonald, of the Sawmill. Though the town-plot is nearly all taken possession of by various parties, who have improved, fenced, and in many instances built on their lots, it still remains in most part the property of the Govern- ment. The Government were petitioned last year to bring the town- plot into market. They have dene so — not at auction — but by the usual and ordinary system of granting Patents to parties who are hona fide, occupants or holders of the lots, on their paying a certain fixed rate. These rates are very moderate ; showing that those who " squatted" on eligible lots at the right time, did " a good thing" for themselves. Half-acres on the Front Street are thus sold by the Government for $;}0 each. Priceville stands upon a piece of uneven ground, and a hilly country is round it. The Gravel Road is made to humour the ine- qualities of the ground, and even within the town-plot is winding and crooked. One of the " back streets" represents the original line of the Durham Road. Immediately East of the town-plot, the Gravel Road bends N. W. toward the Toronto and Sydenham Road, leaving the old line of the " Durliam Road" altogether, and going Eastward through the centre of Artemisia and Osprey, about 4 m. North of the original Durham Road. The place contains a Grist-mill, Saw'tiill, 4 Stores, 5 Churches, Post-oflice, 2 Hotels, a Poarlash Factory, tS:«-.; with 2 Blacksmith's Shops, 2 AVaggon-makcrs, a Tannery, 1 Cabinet-maker, 1 Harness- maker, 2 'J'ailors, :> Sluuniiaken »&c. Tnen; is one resident Clergy- man, and a resident IMiysieian. The Churches are, -Wesleyan Chapel, a frame building; Church of Scotland, frame; Cansitla I'resbytorian (/hurcli, lram<- (Rev. Chas. Cameron); Baptist Chapol, frame, Rev. Robert Mclntyro, Minister, lives in (Jlenelg. 5 m. from Piiceville; Roman Catlioiie Church, in course of erection. The (J.

A Township in the South Eastei n part of the County of Grey ; having Artemisia on the North, Melanchton on the East, Luther (in Wellington Co.) on the South, and Egremont on the West. There are no Gravel or other leading Roads in Proton, with the exception of the Toronto and Sydenham Koad, which runs along its N. E. boundary three or four miles, cutting oflF, as it were, a corner of the township. The four townships of Proton, Melanchton, Luther and Amaranth, are popularly credited with a large amount of Swamp.< And to a considerable extent, this reputed character is correct. We have nothing special to do in this work, with Luther and Amaranth, which are out of the County of Grey ; but Mclanctkon contains a large amount of swampy land, and the same is true of Proton, The swamps are covered with a not very heavy growth of cedar, tamarack, balsam, &c., while the land between, composing ridges of a very few feet elevation above the swamps, and of smaller or greater breadth, present generally excellent land and good hardwood timber. It is little consolation to tell a poor settler in the bush, whose land is so moist f..r. not to allow him to get in his Spring wheat in good time, and where Spring frosts heave out the young plants, and Autumn froFts nip the crop before it is ripe, that a century hence the district of country in which he lives will be one of the richest grazing t>'acts in the Province, rivalling in richness the Western prairies ; yet such will undoubtedly be the case. At present, his land seems to produce little but telegraph poles, and these are not wanted. Yet, with this drawback, there are yet many good farms and many thrifty settlers in Proton. Since Mt. Forest has become a large place, a good market is there aflPorded for farm produce, and it is but about 15 m. to the centre of the township from that place; and Priceville is convenient to the N. W. portion. The Northern and Southern concessions are those best settled. In some of the central concessions, except near the middle of the town- ship, there are but few settlers. And the South-Eastern part has but few settlers. The population in 1801, was, by the census, 1440. If the census was correctly taken in Proton, and the Militia lloll of 1864 com- plete, there can be but xi very slight increase of population in the interval, for the latter shows 289 names of men between 18 and (10, representing a population of not over 1445 ; a result obtained by multiplying the number of men by 5. Proton was surveyed by the late David Gibson, Esq., P. L. S., in the year 1850. The Ranges parallel to Toronto and Sydenham Road were surveyed before.

It is supplied with a weekly mail (on Saturday), from Clarksburg. Being somewhat central i'or the w'lote township, the Township Council meet at Ravenna ; general'y once ji month. Ravenna is in an old-settled part of the township; (he ly.;''. in the vicinity is good ; clay soil. There is a Blacksmith's Shop and Shoemaker's Shop at the place ; and two Sawmills in the neighbourhood. An Episcopal Church within 3 miles, and Wesleyan Chapel about 2 ni. distant. ROCKY SAUG-EEN RIVER. A well-known branch of the Saugeen, crossing the Garafraxa Road 3^ m. N. of Durham. So named from the cirvumstance of the road 278 RONALDSAY P. O. passing through an exceedingly rocky or stony piece of ground just at the crossing of the river. Its course resembles very much that of the other branches of the same river ; a pretty swift >> > rent, over a hard bottom of limestone pebbles. The farthest-,, xhing branch rises in Artemisia, in the vicinity of the Toronto Line. Other branches rise in some small lakes in Glenelg. It flows through the latter township in a S. W. direction, and after crossing the Garafraxa lload into Bentincl' joins the main stream of the Saugeen near Dalglish's Sawmill, about 4 m. from Durham, jibout 5 m. above the bridge at the Garafraxa Road are the Falls of the Rocky Saugeen. (See Glenelg Falls.) There are five Sawmills on the river ; Travis's, Rowswell's, Chaffey's, Dinsmore's, and Dalglish's ; and two Flouring- mills, Chaffey's and Mcllroy's, as also a Carding and Fulliig-mill at Chafiey's. Its whole course (we can only give an approximation), may be about 2.5 miles. " ROCKY SAUGEEN" MILLS. Close by where the Rocky Saugeen crosses the Garafraxa Road, stands the popular and well-known Hotel of John Mcllroy. There is also a Store close by, a branch establishment of Messrs. Vickers & Johnson, of Owen Sound. A short distance S. of the road are Mr. Mclroy's Flouring-mills, the "Rocky Saugeen Mills;" a sub- stantial stone building, with 4 run of stones, and abundant water- power. Dis'^ance from Owen Sound about 25 m., from Durham, 3^. The Hotel aval .Store are on the Glenelg side of the road ; the Mills are in Bent jack As business begins to centre round the Mills, Hotel iiii 1 StOFf^, a Post-office will probably be established before long.

This River is properly " Aux Sable of the North," to distinguish it from the Sable River emptying into Lake Huron in the township of Bosanquet, between Sarnia and Bayfield. The river under review rises a little South of the centre of the township of Sullivan ; and after giving power to Conger's Sawmill, near Marraion P. 0., flows Westerly into Eldorslie in County of may and Tara), through I falls into Lake Huron a ■ig Islands. Just before • outlet of a chain of Ipoy's Bay and Lake ; ilege ; but the neigh- 1 iiu oable also drains Arran Bruce; and then Northerly (passin the townships of Arran and Amabf little South of Chief's Point and reaching the Lake, it receives Pil small lakes occupying the water-slu Huron. At the junction is a tine bourhood is scarcely as yet settled. Lake, in the township of that name ; and (except when the Summer heats have dried up the outlet), Shallow Lake and several others communicating with it, in the township of Keppel. The Sable is a noted trout stream. It is not navigable ; though, like the Saugeen, it has some deep water near its mouth. The " Sable," of which the traveller hears, 14 m. S. of Owen Sound, (see " Williams/ord'' j, and which he sees crossing the Gara- fraxa Road at Strathy's Sawmill — a beautiful broad stream of clear water, brawling over a pebbly bed, is the Northern Fork of the Sau- geen. The naming it " Sable" was a mistake of McDonald's in running out the Garafraxa Road in 1841 ; Csee ^' Maitland") Though, from the force of old association, it generally continues to be called the "Sable," it is now pretty well-known to be a Saugeen. From Strathy's Mill it runs W. S. W. to Scone P. 0., turning Bear- man's Sawmill and Elliot's Grist-mill, in Elderslie, and from thence it runs W. and N. W., till it falls into the Saugeen a little below Paisley. Many people near its source, in Holland township, still believe it to be the Sable ; just as some people still believe the Southern Fork of the Saugeen to be the Maitland — but both are equally wrong. SARAWAK P. O. A Post-office near the shore of Owen's Sound, in the township of Sarawak, distant about 10 miles from the town of Owen Sound, from whenc J it is supplied with mails every Monday. The Post-office was established in 1863, Benjamin Jones being appointed Postmaster. John McKenzie now acts in that capacity. Though only settled 7 years, the neighbourhood is rapidly becoming a fine and prosperous settlemeiit. SARAWAK TOWNSHIP. In 1855, the Indians residing at Newash and Saugeen, chiefly Ojibways, surrendered to the Government the title to the Saugeen ^p - IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) <" 1.0 I.I U|2£ 12.5 150 "^" !■■■ ■^ 1^ IIII2.2 •u .3.

Peninsula, (now surveyed into the townships of Sarawak, Keppel, Amabel, Albermarle, Eastnor, Lindsay and St. Edmund, tKe latter three as yet uninhabited,) with the exception of a Reserve at Saugeen and another at Owen Sound. The latter Reserve had 9 miles front- ago on the waters of the Sound, with a depth of between 2 and 3 miles. Becoming discontented, and perhaps thinking that their annuities would be greatly increased by handing over this Reserve, also, the Newash band, in 1857, accepted the offer of the Government to erect houses for them and locate them at Cape Croker, and surren- dered the Newash Reserve. Itwac immediately surveyed, and was sold at auction at Owen Sound in September, 1857, along with such por- tions of the townships sold the year before as yet remained in the hands of the Government. It received the name of Sarawak, in honour of Major Brooke, the English " Rajah of Sarawak." (See " Ncwanh.") Sarawak is a small township, perhaps the smallest in Upper Cana- da ; and might very well have been added to Keppel, which bounds it on the North and West. It is united to Keppel for Municipal purposes. The oflScial title of the United Municipality, is more sounding than convenient — " The United Townships of Keppel and Sarawak, and Town-plot of Brooke." This little township, lying so handsomely on the shores of Owen's Sound, within easy reach of the town, and presenting on the whole, tolerably good land (some very good, other portions a little stony), soon began to fill up with settlers ; the majority of them came from the older settlements " down below " (as they themselves would term it), and knew just how to go to work to make a good township out of a wilderness. Sarawak has three Concessions, lengthwise of the township. That nearest the shore is called the " third" Concession. Between the 2nd and 3rd Concessions, a leading road has been well cleared out and improved, and will soon be, all the year round, as it now is in winter, a very good road. There is only one Post-office — " Sarawak" — as yet. The Council of the United Townships meet at Brooke. Municipal Officers, Magistrates and Schools, in the United Municipality, are noted under Keppel — (which sec.) The following list (from Roll of 1864), scarcely does justice to the township, as a good many settlers have come in within the last few months ; but it is impossible to obtain later statistics than those we are using.

The Saugecn, though not a navigable river, is one of the three or four larger streams found in the Western part of Upper Canada. It rises in Osprey, not far from the old " Durham Road," and flows with a general West course through Osprey, Artemisia, Glenelg, Bentinck and Brant to Walkerton ; thence with a general Northerly course to Southampton, where it empties into Jjakc Huron. Its course is very devious ; fjom its source to Walkerton is about 40 ni. in a direct line, and from that town to the mouth of the River is but little over 30 m. direct, making 70 m. for the course of the River ; yet, from its many windings, il must flow over 100 miles. The Saugeen is remarkable for its many branches. It has no fewer than five large tributaries, some of them dignified with tlio appellation of '* Rivers." In the Countv of Grey, on the main stream, are the villages of Pricevillc, Durham and Hanover ; on the South Fork 282 SHRIOLBT. (the 80 called " Maitland" of former days), are Gedarville, Mount Forest, Ay too and Neustadt. The Saugeen, and all its numerous branches, present an almost unlimited number of water-privil^es ; not a tithe of which are as yet used for manufacturing. Normanby, Egremont, Glenelg and Bentinok, in the county of Grey, are wholly drained by the Saugeen ; and Proton, Melanothon, Osprey, Arte- misia, Holland and Sullivan, partially. Most of the branches of the Saugeen have been used, during the last two or three years, for float- ing down elm timber, intended for the St. Lawrence ; and all of them are more or less visited in the season by anglers, for trout- fishing has become all the fashion of late in the Northwest. At the mouth of the Saugeen, a pier has been projected into the Lake, which not only gives shelter to vessels entering, but by narrowing the channel, tends to deepen the water over the bar. The depth, however, is not great, and large vessels do not often come into the river. Half a mile up from the mouth, swift water is reached. The bottom of the Saugeen is generally hard ; full of limestone pebbles, such as are found in red clay. The limestone rock of the region occasionally crops out on its banks. On the banks of the river in the vicinity of Walkerton in the county of Bruce, two valu- able discoveries have been made lately — the existence of Hydraulic Cement and Lithographic Stone. Both these are found there ; and may yet become a source of wealth and employment to many. SHALLOW LAKE. Shallow Lake is a small sheet of water in the township of Keppel, about 9 miles from the town of Owen Sound. It is about a mile long, and nearly as broad. It receives a considerable stream from the N., the outlet of some small lakes, as well as a stream from the South, and communicates with the Sable river Westward by way of outlet. In point of fact, however, the lake is a dry bed of thin, coarse grass, with a slippery, chalky soil, full of boulders and rocks, for several months in the year. Hence the name " Shallow Lake," as the waters are at no time deep. The bottom has been found to be a chalk deposit of considerable depth, and may sometime become valuable. The lake might be easily drained and turned into pasture. SHRI&LEY. Shrigley is the name of a new Post-oflSoe, in the township of Me- lanothon; established 1st .of January, 1865. It is 12 m. from Singhampton, where it is supplied with mails every Saturday. SINGHAUPTON. 283 SINGHAMPTON. A r'mnfi village on the County line, between Grey and Simcoe, partly in Osprey and partly in Nottawasaga townships ; the principal street being the County line. Water power is furnished by the Mad River, a tributary of the Nottawasaga, which flows through the village. There are said to be no water privileges on the Mad River above Singhampton. but any number immediately below. The mills were built about ten years ago. They consist of a Grist-mill, with two run of stones, and a Sawmill. A Fulling and Carding-mill was unfor- tunately destroyed by fire in 1864, and is not yet re-built. The village, under tlie name of Singhampton, was laid out in 1 856 by Messrs. C. R. and J. R. Sing, whose property the village site and mills were. During the next year or two a considerable improvement was manifested in the place, and it still grows. For some years after its first establish- ment the Post-oflSce was called " Mad River Mills P. 0.," but has been changed to " Singhampton." The mills are about ^ m. East of the principal street, and are in township of Nottawasaga. The Post- office, Store and Common School are also oA the Simcoe side. There are two very good Hotels in the place ; also 2 Blacksmiths, 1 Shoe- maker, 1 Weaver, 1 Waggon-maker, 1 Lime-burner, 2 Carpenters, kc. The Gravel Road running East from Durham toward Colling- wood, strikes the County line ^ m. S. of Singhampton, and the gravel ends there. The traffic then continues South through the village, and then turns off East again to Huron tai'o street, leading to CoUingwood. Singhampton is 13 m. from CoUingwood, 6 m. from Bowmore, 10 m. from Nottawasaga Station. Westward, it is about 8 miles to iVlaxwell, 17. m. to Flesherton, 22 to Priceville, and 32 to Durham. The School-house, a comfortable stone building, with a large attendance of pupils, is used on Sabbath by the Canada Presbyterians ( Rev. James Greenfield) every four weeks ; and by the W. Metho- dists (Rev. D. E. Brownell) every two weeks; and occasionally by other denominations. There are, in the village, a Lodge of the Loyal Orange Institution (No. 586), and a Lodge of British American Good Templars. Mails are daily to and from Durham and CoUingwood and interme- diate places ; and once a week (Saturday) to and from Osprey and Homing's Mills Post-offices. Algeo, James, Boot and Shoemaker.

A very small river, rising in Holland ; and, after giving motion to Conger's MUls (" Spey Mills"), flowing N. W. into Derby, and falling into the Sydenham River. It passes a few hundred yards East of John town, bdt, unfortunately, has not fall enough at that place for any useful purpose. SPEY MILLS. The Spey Mills are situated in the township of Holland, about \ m. East of the Garafraxa Road, 2 m. from Chatsworth P. 0. and 3 m. from Sullivan P. 0. They are more generally known as " Conger's Mills," after the name of the proprietor, R. B. Conger, of Picton. The Mills are on the small river Spey. The Grist-mill has one run of stones. A Sawmill is also in connection with the Grist-mill, capable of cutting 3,000 feet lumber in 12 hours. The mills are on Lot 9, on 1st Concession E. of Garafraza Road. Handley, Newlove, Miller.

Squaw Point is the Northern limit of Owen Sound Town-plot. Inside Squaw Point is considered the " Harbour." As a part of the survey of the town, Cbas. Rankin, ST. VINOENT TOWNSHIP. 285 Esq., P. L. S., was instructed to sound and examine the Harbour, all indide this Point, in 18.^7. The Point is covered with a dense growth of small cedar and balsam ; while a little nearer the town the shores become marshy. Half a mile from the Point the shore is again firm and dry. A quarter of a mile behind the Point, and out of sight from the town, is Butchart's Steam Sawmill, on a little bay that opens out to the North. Leith lies about two miles N. tl. ST. VINCENT P. O. The name *' St. Vincent" has continued to be applied to the P. 0. at Meaford to the present time ; though it ought to have been changed years ago. (See " Meaford.") ST. VINCENT TOWNSHIP. St. Vincent is one of the Northern townships of the County of Grey ; being bounded on the North and East by Greorgian Bay. South by Euphrasia, and West by Sydenham. It is the oldest, and one of the best townships in the County. Surveyed in 1833 and settled extensively in 1834 and following years, at a time there was comparatively little immigration, it was taken up largely by people from the older settlements, who came, if not with means, at least with Canadian experience, and knew how to make the best of a backwoods township. It was surveyed in 1833, the same year that Collingwood township was laid out. Chas. Rankin was the Surveyor. The Government, at that time, did not proiess to have extinguished the Indian title to the lands further West than the perpendicular line bounding St. Vincent and Euphrasia on the West. Many retired Military and Naval ofiicers drew allotments of land in Collingwood and St. Vincent ; chiefly in Collingwood, as it was not quite so far removed from civil- ization. A Captain was entitled to 900 acres. Much of the land scrip, however, passed into the hands of speculators. Tl)e early ficttlcrs have many stories to tell of hardships and discomforts in the bush, so far removed from other and older settlements. Every year, how- ever, made matters better; and when about 1842, settlements West of them began, the people In St. Vincent were able in some degree to be a " base of supplies" for their newer neighbours. The land is generally rolling; the timber maple, elm, and beech, with occasional cedar-swamps; the soil clay, but not too heavy. St. Vincent has always produced a considerable amount of Fall Wheat; standing in this respect second among the townships of (jrey in 18G1. It might be to the advantaue of the other townships to dispute this distinction with Collingwood, St. Vincent, Euphrasia, and Sydenham, which four townships reported in 1861, 27,747 '^"^^w^'^^'y^!^^^^^^!^^^'^^'?^''^w^^^^T*'^'^'^ ' 286 ST. VINOBNT TOWNSHIP bushels, against 5,642 bushels for all the other 13 townships. The amount was not very large for the four y but it was very small for the thirteen. In consequence of its early settlement, St. Vincent presents many very fine farms as the traveller passes 'along the various Concession lines. Much attention has been paid to the Roads. It has been the practice for several years to appropriate about $500 to each of the five Wards, for Local Improvements. These sums, in addition to the Statutory labour on the Roads, ought to keep them in model repair ; but the amounts are not, perhaps, always expended to the best advantage. The township Corporation possesses a fine new brick Town-Hall at Meaford, erected in 1864, and a Wharf with Storehouse attached, built about 8 years ago, and under lease at present to Mr. L. Menere. In 1861, the number of acres of land held in the township, is set down in the Census at 35,463 ; in 1864, the number, of acres held was 64,393 ; of which 51,176 acres were held by Residents^ and 13,217 acres \ij Nortrresidents. St. Vincent contains the villages of Meaford, Griersville, and Cape Rich. Four Post-offices ; at the three villages just named, and Leavens' P. 0. There is a commodious brick Chapel (W. Metho- dist), on the " 9th Line/' built a year or two {^ ; and some tasteful School-houses. There are several Sawing and other Mills in the township, viz.: C. R. Sing's Sawmill, and Fulling and Carding-mill, on the Big Head river (6th Con. Lot 14), about a mile above Mea- ford; on lot 12 on 6th Concession, the Sawmill and Factory of Messrs. Trout and Jay, where Rakes, Grain-cradles, and Laths are manufactured to a large extent; T. N. Converse's Sawmill, on 9th Concession ; and Marshall B. Purdy's Sawmill, on lot 11, Conces- sion 11. It will be understood that in these statistics we do not include Meaford. • Census Returns, 1 86 1 (including Meaford). — Population, 2,993 ; Natives of England and Wales, 290 ; Natives of Scotland, 140 ; Natives of Ireland, 297 ; Natives of Canada, 2,145 ; all other Countries, 121.

Vincent, in the vicinity of Vail's Point, to Manders' Cor- ners near Owen Sound. The Road runs N. E. and S. W. at the distance of about 1^ m. from the Shore of Owen's Sound, having 3 ranges of lots parallel to its course, on the N. W., and one range on the S. E. Its length is about 12 m. A succession of fine farms, in a good state of cultivation, is presented on each side of this Line, for its whole length. It is almost exclusively a Scottish settlement ; indeed, the Government Agent at Owen Sound was accused, wc cannot say with what truth, of exercising some skilful management to secure that result. The principal points are Manders' Comers, at the lower end of the line. 3 m. from Owen Sound ; Leith Corners, 6 m. from 0. S. ; Daywood P. 0. 8 m. from 0. S. ; Johnson P. ,0. 12 m. from 0. S. ; Moulton's Tavern, &c. (Balaklava), 13 m. from 0. S.^ and the end of the Line at the 12th Con. line of St. Vincent, 14 m. from 0. Sound. SYDENHAM RIVER. The Sydenham River, is a pretty little stream falling into Owen's Sound at the County Town, and forming the Inner Harbour there. It has a course of about 20 miles. It has its source in a small lake in Holland township, about 2 m. E. of the Garafraxa Road, and about 14 m. from Owen Sound. After running W. 3 or 4 miles ; crossing the Garafraxa Road into Sullivan, it pursues a general North 304 STDEKHAU TOWKSHIP. course to the Sound, being never more than about a mile from the Gbrafraza Boad ; sometimes only half that distance. It turns El- liot's Grist and Sawmills, and Hinds' Sawmill, in Sullivan ; and Herriman's Sawmill, Inglis' Grist and Sawmills, and Cross' Sawmill, in Derby ; and the Mills of Messrs. Harrison in Owen Sound. Some portions of its course are very rapid. It forms a beautiful Fall at Inglis' Mills, in Derby ; and below the falls the water is almost a continuous rapid for some distance. It is navigable for half a mile from its mouth, and has been improved by dredging. (See " Owen Sound;" also "Inglis' Falls:') SYDENHAM TOWN. The name Owen Sound or Owen's Sound, was first applied to the large inlet still bearing that name; secondly, to the village that sprung up at its upper end ; and thirdly, to the whole district of country round about. In 1840, the first part of the town-plot of Owen Sound was surveyed, and an Agent sent up to superintend the settlement of Immigrants. The new Town was named " Sydenham." Why the Post Office, which was established a year or two afterward, was called " Owen's Sound," and not " Sydenham" we have never heard explained. Though the place continued popularly to be called "Owen Sound" or " The Sonnd," Sydenliam was its official name (except with the P. 0. Department) from 1840 to 1856, inclusive. The name of the Post-office was never changed, except that it was miide Owen Sound instead of Owen's Sound. In 1856, when a rp< cial Act of Incorporation for the town was obtained (to go into operation January, 1857), the name was made " Owen Sound," in accordance with the petition for Incorporation. It cannot be denied that there was always a measure of dissatis- faction with the name Owen Sound ; and if" Sydenham" had been less pre-occupied or used elsewhere, — first, for the name of the ad- joining Township, — second, for a River in Kent, — and most of all for the Great Crystal Pal^^o in the suburbs of London in England, — it would probably 'Rflfi%J}een retained. The objection urged against the name Oil^n Sound, was that it was the name of the adjacent sheet of water, anU could with no propriety be applied to the town. The name, however, is not now likely to be disturbed (See Owen Sotind.) • SYDENHAM TOWNSHIP. Sydenham is one of the Northern Townships of the County of Grey ; being bounded North by tiie waters of Owen's Sound ; East by St. Vincent ; South by Hoik 1 : and West by Derby, Owen Sound town-plot and Owen's Soan'l. It is a long township from S. SYDEKHAM TOWKSHIP. 305 ad- all wen S. to N. stretching to the headland of Vail's Point or Poiii' William, projecting into Georgian Bay. Sydenham is a well-settled and populous township. Tt was sui veyed in 1842 and '43 by Chas. Rankin, Esq., P. L. S., and imme diately began to fill up with settlers. The soil is clay, well adapted for wheat-raising, though some tracts in the township are stony rtiid rocky. It is unfortunate for the reputation of Sydenham with strangers, that the Owen Sound and CoUingwood Gravel Road, run- ning across the centre of the ('iwnship, should happen to pass through the only considerable fvnc o* r( oky land in it. The two or three miles West of Wood-)rd T. v'. .wo very inferior on this account; \vhile, a mile North or South, the land is excellent. The timber i.s hardwood, — marl;?, be. jL, •id elm, with a sprinkling of hemlock, basswood, ond a.'-K . no oak, and no pine, except an occasional tree in the cedar-8wani()S. The state of agriculture may be judged of from the fact that though .Sydc^^ham, by the Census of 1861, stood sixth among the townships of Grey, with respect to the number of ** occu- piers of lands," and fourth as to the number of acres held, it stood fourth with respect to Fall wheat raised — (the report shows 27 bushels to the acre) ; first as to Spring Wheat ; third as to Barley ; second as to Peas ; third as to Oats ; second as to Potatoes ; eighth as to Turnips ; fi/rst as to Carrots ; third as to Grass Seeds ; first as to Hay ; first as to Hops ; second as to Maple Sugar ; first as to Wool ; third as to Fulled Cloth ; first as to Flannel ; second as to Flax and Hemp (Normanby will be first now, Egremont was first then) ; first as to Butter ; first as to Cheese (quadruple the quantity of any other) ; first as to Fish ; second as to Cattle ; fourth as to Horses ; second as to value of Live Stock ; first as to Sheep ; zxA first as to value of Farms, Farming Implements, and produce of Orchards and Gardens. The Concession lines of Sydenham run N. & S., the Concessions numbering from the East, and the lots numbering from the South. As already noted, the Gravel Road from Owen Sound to Meaford and CoUingwood, runs across thetownsli^from Westto East, about its centre. The Garafraxa (Gravel) Road faoaSKls it Western side. The " Lake Shore Line," and several of the other lines are also well- trfivellod Roads. There i*^ but little absolutely level land in Syden- h;r; '.u is gen . '.y undulating, and in some parts a little hilly, '^^ae outhern part of the township is well watered by the Big Head River, and several of its branches, and thatNorth|tert by the " Water o'Leith," and several other creeks falling intcwlli^en's Sound. A very high upland separates Sydenham from St. Vincent ; and the township is traversed in its central part by a couple of rocky ridges (and a streak of rocky land belonging to each), running N. E. & S. W. 20 306 SYDENHAM TOWNSHIP. Post Offices.— In Northern part of the township are Woodford, Leith, Daywood, and Johnson Post Offices. Hoath Head P. 0. is toward the 8. end of the township.

It is and 27 m. frof mile South. Mails a][^ jlai^ East and West. Daily stages connect Thornbury with CqllAcwoO^ and Owen Sound in winter. It would greatly add to the prolperily and business of the village were a wharf run out, as at Meaford, tp ensllblc Steamboats to call. There is no Lake-port in this rcgion'where there are as good natural facilities for making a Dry-dock as at Thornbury. The mill-dam, with a high fall of water, is convenient to the mouth of the river and the lake, to supply such a Dock. \m THORNBURY. 311 When the township of Collingwood was surveyed in 1833, a block of 900 acres was left at the mouth of the Beaver River, for a town- plot. It lay for many years before anything was done with it. At length, in 1852, it was surveyed out in streets and building lots. A Sawmill (not now in existence), had been put up the previous year. In 1853, the present Plouring-mill was built. It has two run of 8tOT.es. It belongs to the estate of the late Judge Wilkes ; David Reid, Lessee. The present Sawmill was built in l85G. The Mills are close to the Owen Sound and Collingwood Gravel Road, which crosses the River between them. There is in the villrge a Post-office, 2 Stores ; the Grist and Flour- ing-mill already mentioned, lately refitted, and now in very complete order ; Sawmill ; 2 Taverns ; a Brick-yard ; and among Mechanics resident are a Tinsmith, a Boot and Shoemaker, a Tailor, a Pump- maker, a Grain-Cradle maker, a Blacksmitli, a Waggon-maker, a nujuber of Carpenters, a Watchmaker, 2 Masons, &c. There are three Churches — Church of England, Presbyterian, and Episcopal Methodist; an Orange Hall (Lodge No. 1067); and a brrnch of the Township Library is kept in the village (Mr. Samsoi. Webb, Librarian). Belonging to the mill property is much more water-power than is needed for the Grist and Sawmills, making a good opening for other manufacturing establishments. The inhabitants speak of a Tannery and a Foundry as being especially needed. There has lately been found light coloured clay, which makes yellow bricks, and by using white sand, which the proprietor of the brickyard was sanguine ol' discovering in the neighbourhood, bricks almost white could be pro- duced, and of most excellent quality. The principal Street i.^ Bruce Street, rurtning from the Lake • Shore, Southward toward Clarksburg. In a very few years, the two villages will have become, to the eye of the stranger, one town. The site of the town is very pretty — rising very genV " "' ' ' '' the Lake for a little distance, and then risingji feet to a level table-land. * The piesent population of the villagf^ijs, Wf^a about 300. * '^*^ from the level of bank of a few eful estimate.

W. and S. E., nearly from ooril^to corner of the County of Grey. It was intended to afford as direct communication as possible, between Sydenham (Owen Sound), and Toronto — hence the name. It is familiarly spoken of in the County as the " Toronto Line." It was surveyed in 1848. The following year, three Ranges of lots on each side were laid out ; or, to speak more correctly, 6 ranges of lots were laid out, and the Road-line carried through the belt of land thus surveyed, though not invariably in the centre. Along this line, the lots were given out free to settlers — 50 acres each. George Snider, Esq., late Sheriff of Grey, was the Agent of the Government for settling the Road; and resided in Artejnisia^^TI^ irbad runs diago- nally through the centre of Holland, i^* touching also Glenelg and Prot(|a.. Jts the Garafraxa Road, to Jelly's H^tel,j thon and of the County, is abotti|42 entire length, four years ago, '«P ^ County Roads then carried out Grey, it is free of tolls. In Hollarf Artemisia, the slopes are less abrupt for a number of miles, into a nearly ui Melancthon ; Johntown at r of Melanc- elled for its scheme of ty Roads in ItSbewhat hilly ; in on, it subsides el. About 7 level, cleared m. may be said to be all swamp on each sn out to a great breadth, and as straight as an arrow ; a splendid drive in sleighing, or in good weather anytime. Though not so much travelled as the Garafraxa Road, the Toronto Line is a great high- 320 VAIL S POINT. way, and its recent improvement a great boon to the townships through which it passes. The following table will show the various points and distances on the Road. Though, perhaps, not absolutely correct in every instance to a quarter of a mile, it is us correct as our infor- mation, collected at tv«^enty different places, and carefully collated and compared, could make it. The principal Hotels are at Johntown. Allen's, Flesherton, and Jelly's. I Table of Distances. Intermediate From From Places. diKtanct'H. Owen Soiuul. * )rangeville.

Vail. WALTER'S FALLS. A small village in the N. E. part of the township of Holland. It is 14 m. from Meaford, 18 m. from Owen Sound, 10 m. from Oara- fraxa Road at Chatsworth, and 7 m. from Owen Sound and CoUing- wood Gravel Road, at Woodford P. 0. Population, 80. In 1852, John Walter, Esq., took up 300 acres of wild land, with magnificent water-power, on the S. branch of Big Head River. The first Sawmill was built in 1853. The proprietor has lately (18G4), erected a new one further up the stream. The Grist Mill was built in 1854 or '55. The Fulling and Carding Mill was built in 1856. It was leased by Mr. John Hogg, who in addition to the usual work of carding and fulling, kept a power-loom in operation. During the preparation of these sheets, .^n accidental fire has destroyed the premises. The Grist Mill has one run of stones. In the place, besides the P. 0., Mills, and Tavern, may be found a Blacksmith, a Waggon-maker, 2 Carpenters, a Millwright, and a Tinsmith. At the Present moment there is no Storekeeper in the village. Mail on 'uesday and Saturday from Meaford, by way of Griersville'and Blantyre. There is a resident Wesleyan Minister, and religious services are regularly held. The Big Head river is not a large stream at Walter's Falls, but the water is very abundant for one mill, and the descent of the stream is such that a number of mills might stand one below another, and plenty of fall for each. The Grist Mill and the ^old , Sawmill were both supplied from the ssmiojlume at onoe. Mr. Winter says that the water falls several hundred feet, within the Imnds of his pro- perty. The fall in the village is perhaps 50 fe^ ; ^l^caaoadc being about 20 ; and a little below the mills b ttie gteat fll, a beautiful cataract of 40 feet perpendicular, into fl wild MdMcnitifuI wooded glen, between limestone rocks.

A village in the township of Normanby, on the S. Branch of the Saugccn Kiver. It is not far from the centre of the township, and is 14 m. from Mount Forest, 5^ m. from Neustadt, 10 m. from Orchardville on Garafraxa Road, 18 m. from Durham, and 46 from Owen Sound. Population, 150. In the original survey of the township, Ayton was not reserved as a town-plot ; but after the survey was made, the Surveyor, the late David Gibson, Esq., reported good water-jf^er on the River at this place, and the Government reserved 600 acres for a town. In 1855, 200 acres of this was laid out into village and park lots. The other 400 was the " Mill-plot," which was sold in the first instance to Geo. Jackson, Esq., M. P. P., but resumed again by the Government, and re-sold three years ago to Thomas Robertson, Esq., of Dundas. The Sivwmill was built in 1861. The Grist Mill, a substantial and well- finished frame builditig, 40 m 50 feet, with two run of stones, was put in operation in 1864. A Carding Mill is in progress, and is expected to bo ready for the season of 1865. The Grist Mill has the reputa- tion of being one of the very best Mills in the County. The water i|jibundant. The channel is narrow, and the wooden dam is fastened seoiwely to the solid rock in the bed of the stream. Mr. Robert Squair, is the Manager of the Mills, &c. Mr. Robertson has laid out a portioqi of his property contiguous to the Mills, into village lots, and proposes "to ft cect a Store, &o., this year. Ayton stan^l^n ground sloping toward the River, with a Southern aspect, and Heasantly situated. The village contains the Mills already ment^n4||j 2 Stores, by G. Naisraith and A. Rcid ; a Black- smith, a WaMon-niaker, a Tailqr Bovcral Carpenters, 3 Taverns, &c. A Pcarlash Factory is In progrci, by Mr. G. Naismith. A small Orange Hall, kt STcndof the village, is used for Divine worship, by several dcnomfaiationa OB S^baths. The Common School of the Section, is about a mile NWffi. Mr. MoPhillips, the present Postmaster, was one of the first settlers. Joseph Dickson was the first Postmaster, the P. 0. being established in 1857. Most of the town-plot is held by sijuattcrs. The Government have not sold the lots. It is a universal observation AYTON. 325 that squatters and free-grant locatees excel more in easy good nature, than they do in enterprise and industry. During the last year many of these have sold out their " rights" and migrated, and their places have been filled with others more enterprising. With the Mills, &c., now in operation, the village is in a fair position to improve ; and will doubtless become a place of some importance. There ia an excellent country round it. If the " Guelph and Saugeen H. R." is ever built, it will probably follow the valley of this River by Ayton and Neustadt ; and the preliminary survey shows the route to be very favorable for the construction of the Road. Mails on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, to and from Orchard and Neustadt. AYTON MILLS, Robert Squair, Marnier. Atkinson, Joshua, Miller, Ayton Mills. ' Biasing, Frederick, Tailor.

Brooke is a village in the township of Sarawak, pleasantly situated on the Western side of Owen's Sound, just at its head, and opposite the County Town, It was formerly called Newash, and was a village inhabited by Ojibway and Pottawataniie Indians, chiefly the former. In 1837, beyond which we have no connected account of anything around Owen's Sound, Newash, the Ojibway Chief, was living alone, with his family, where Brooke now stands. He had lived there all his life, and his father and grandfather before him. Newash is now a man in extreme old age, living at Cape Croker, The writer heard of him but yesterday (31st March, '65). Meeting old Chief Wah- batick (seep. 56), we inquired about some of the old brave?, now at Cape Croker, Part of the conversation was very amusing, eked out by a good deal of pantomime : — "You— know— Newash?" "Yes," "Ifefash see good?— walk?" "Yes; see— walk— c/wj9 /" " Old man ?"WYes, o/r/ m«u." "You — know — Mose3 ?" "Yes; Moses — no see; walk — two stick.^' " Newash walk — two stick ?" " No, Newash — one stick," " You— know— Saco?" ''Yen,— dead." "Cahpenais?" "Dead." "Where J T W ?" "Fergus.' "Drink?" " Yes,— all time- few year." In 1840, when preparations were first made for the settlement of Sydenham town and township, and country around, a few Ojibways and Pottawatamies had settled beside Newash. The Indian village had a pretty appearance. It was a fine dry sandy site ; small clear- ij^Bbrere made, and the forest around presented majestic elms and iJHHpDds, jpith a sprinkling of hemlock and cedar, interspersing the invariable nafie and beecli. Vessels could drop anchor within u cable's length of tBd^thore. The beauty of the site for building a town was st^, that that side of the harbour would probably have been selectedj'^y^ for incommoding the Indians. Time has shown that this woul^iave been a mistake ; but at that time the present lound town wo^e a very forbidding aspect. , Cowan, Edward, Carpenter, Market-st. 4**;'^ Duke, Wm., Labourer, Park lots.
