that would have given blood like water '
kw the cause they se warmly cherished.
Unconscious of his powers as a venter.
as he was heedless m the exercise of them.
Dunlop assuredly had it m to give
ei m tum
the rested sentiment
of the riled Highlander. whether the in-
spiration came from the chanting of the
Gaelic dillies. or from his own dreams of
the Hebrides. One six) enjoyed tbs friend-
ship and esteem of men of genius like
Lockhart. Christopher North and Hogg;
who was considered worthy of a eat at
the table of the "Fraserians." round
which grithered such literary gigots as
Coleridge, Southey. Thackeray. Carlyle
and Hook, must have been more than a
"good fellow ' and a raconteur of jokes
and anecdotes. And when all the circum-
stances have been considered --his
Highland descent and Celtic spktt, his
associations with Gaelic boatmen on the
St. Lawrence, his friendship with Lock-
hart and Wilson. his position as a con-
tributor to Blackw•ood's Magazine. and
the fact that he was in Upper Canada
when the poem was published—there
seems nothing unreaaonabk in the view
that as surgeon. soldier. traveller. hunter,
literatteur, pioneer and colonizer, the
claims of "Tiger" Dunlop to be remem-
bered may not improbably include that
of having enriched our literature with the
' 'Canadian Boat Song."
Laziness isn't exactly a crtgsa'but it is
the nest thing to it.

To the Editor or The Signal.
Sir.—The seaetary of the London

needs ((arm help. seed, etc.) of the
farmers' of this immediate district." a
paragraph from his letter being as fol-
lows:
"As representatives of the Organiza-
tion of Resources Committee at London
we are endeavoring 'to ascertain the
approximate needs of this district, and
will be glad if you can co-operate with
us by rending us estimate of help re-
quired for (tirst) seeding. (second) for
harvest and a third) what the other
requirements of your district are in the
way 'of seed. tractors. etc.. if you are

ear -
"We realize that figures will be merely
estimates, but by combining them with
those of all other places we will be able
to estimate approximately the needs of
this part of Ontario, so that an effort may
be made to supply them."
in the absence of a regular organiza-
tion in town olio ver uld attend to this
matter. I am sending it to the Farmers'
Clubs of Goderich and Colborne town-

interesting early history" is aaaociatel
with this pretty little hamlet. The
worst "pretty" in used advisedly. If
von doubt its fitness come out and see
htonmiller when it has its summer
clothes on. The foundations for half-
adozen capital stories could be found
in the early chronicles of "The Hol-
low " as 1t was called lone ago. As to
the�ame, Benmiller, there were three
brothers, as 1 remember, in the Miller
family, the best known being Benja-
min, who owned the mill privileges and
the greater part of the adjacent pro-
perty. "Ben Iriller's Mills" were
known tar and wide. Away back In
the early fifties Ben was Reeve of Col-
borne and member of the oo0nty coup.
cll. He had two sons. Archie and Lau.
who inherited his estate. Dan owned
and built a house on what k now the
Straughan faros. All their property,
however, sown passed into other hands.
Dan. a brother of Ben. kept the village
hotel. After his death his son. the late
well-known and popularJonathan. came
into prominence and was probably the
only member of the fancily known to
the present generation. Big-hearted,
generous, genial Jonathan' Joe, the
bachelor brother of Ben and Dan, also
owned a block of land near by. He re-
mained in the village, making bbs home
latterly- with Andrew Heddle, at whose
home he died a number of years ago.
The village name Is all that remains
here to perpetuate the memory of this
one-time famous pioneer family.
