the Year that Many apple orchards

that time was the fact that from Jan-

Although Monday's. terriberature
was -30 belotv, Sunday was probably
the colder day, with a sub -zero tem-
perature and a howling Wind ,fteim
the north. It reached 11 below zero
On Sunday morning and thrtnighout
• the day --never got above 8 below.
The high. wind whipped up a bile.-
zsard in the afternoon, that reed°

The wind calmed -down on Sunday
evening .and the Mercury started

and, at night dropped well down
again, with TueSday teeming dawn-

When thia Village was young one
of the most ContentiouS and bitterly

those who had property on the north

were equally firm in holding out

the Council protested to the GoVern-

of 1872, against Thomas Farrow, M.

The' winter following Mr. Semerr
ville's settlement, Mr. :M. Canipbell
• arrived and opened the fleet store.
At the same time also (wither of
1858-59) the: LtiCknow Post Office
• was established, Mr. Campbell being
coiiimissioned as postmaster, a posi-
tion whiCh he has ever sine :re-
tained:
From this time 'forward settlers
came in thick and fast, till the ex-.
tent; wealth, and population of the
plebe had so developed by 1.873, that
steps were taken for incorporation;
and in Connection -with the conium-
-nuitioneofetnia-muehedesireeteresulte
there was fromfirst to lasts.e much
selieming, wire-pit/ling, gerryman-
dering, and Sheep preen& generally,
that a brief statement of the facts
may not be out of place. It shotild
be 1 reentioried by way of preface
that the point at issue Was -whether
,the new village should belong to the
Coenty, of Huron or to 8ruce. From
what facts are' at Our COininand We
cannot but conclude that the adva;
• cates of the former Schenie, were
intist Unjustly and .irbitraviise &edit
• with in order to furtheirothe politiesi
prestige of. parties having irifluenee
at "headcivarters"-faCtS and cif.-

the great preference Of the inajority
to'be attached to the County' of Hine

we may tnentieri that the greater

determination; but the resolutions
embodying their protest and petiticin
were barren • of result,' except to:
place upon record their disapproval
af the arbitrary act of the Govetn-

aeert but few changes in the person-

till D. A. :Crimmon Was elected
