a very eventful day in • the life
of the lad; it was the, first da

settled, for a wave of the hand
and cautioned' "Be a good :boy.

of these two :congregations there
never was any known strife ;be

,Many stories; have been writ -

we Huronites ' can be justly"
proud : of our native land. 'Moses;

land .which' ye ' shall go in to
pgssess is a land; of hills 'arid
:valleys ` where ye shall .• drink

Huron County certainly is : 'a
land of hills and ..valleys with
,little streams and rivulets flow

'Huron County is. Jost, but
late I,.have been gathering many
stories . of . the 'sturdy, pioneer
