Mr. Jordan is of English birth and extraction, but has been so long a resident of Canada, that he has fully identified himself with the interests, political and commer- cial, of his adopted country, of which he has proved a most useful and energetic citizen. In most of the basinest ventures that have been put on foot since his advent to Goderich he has taken a live and liberal interest, and although, like many others, he has found that all is not gold that glitters," he has nevertheless been able to amass a considerable portion of - this world's goods, and to occupy a prominent position in our busi- ness community. At the time of the Trent affair, lie was one of the first to volunteer for service in the Goderich Artillery Company, anti in lhfifi, when the company was called out for active service at Sarnia, he relinquished his ex- tensive business for the time -being and took his place at the front as a private. in lt(fi7 he was gazetted (Quarter -Master of the acrd Batt., a position which he held until about five years ago, when he was gazettes( Paymaster for the Battalion- —a tc► eIn' I hesi still do rcial circle, having been a resident since The ..1.1....t t: , .- ___ in .own is with l`ifil.

In the morning on looking out, it was discovered that several itches of snow had (ellen during the night. Before moving any further we determined to abandon our waggons, and peck all. our provisions and effects. on our horses backs. This took censider- ak1e time, as we lacked the expermeno.. of the old pioneer packers, who it is said, would stow away enough staff on a mules' back, sufficient to last a small family for a month.

The country which we now traversed was both pleasant and easy of mese— ample feed for our horses, with here and then fine streams of water every few mile.. This continued Fur several days with nothing of particular interest to note. Al last we arrived in a locality possessing the singular feature of stumps of trees some seven and eight feet from the ser - face of the ground. We were of coarse much surprised at so unusual a sight,and wondered if a ram of long legged giants had preceded us. Later on we were informed this was the very spot where She unfortunate party of the year before had been ovter•ei t nr Tee ea[anrt•i snow amity, rid so many lives had been lost, and Clutch I referred to in the commence- ment of say narrative.
