The towrudtip of Hay is south of Stan- ley and afro extends from the lake to the London ready It is in the form of an obklgg nsuare. abut* seven miles broad and rfml ten to twelve m length. It is well se(tbild ora the front, that is. on the London road, and to the depth of three or four concxayitns beck: but It contain a large proportion of marsh, which cross- es neatly the whole w dth of the town- ship about its centre. The soil is of the first quality on the taolicesaions that are settled. being a fine yellow loam. Some of it that has been twenty years under cultivation and without receiving a shovelful of nianure re this year bearing a crop of superior wheat. Indeed. some of the best and heaviest aups that have been raised in Huron have been raised to Hay. Still it is but ttunly settled. tial greater portion of it is still to burlsaecjr much of it remains in the hands01 Canada CeMpany. It has the betroth of the: London road on the front. of the intended Port Sarnia road on the lake shore and of about three miles of the line between it and Stanley; but there are Ill) roads through the township and no wales power. A small stream called "Warren's Creek" runs through part of the front of it, on which is a mall saw mill. Springs and wells, however, are plenty. Hay has only 1,84:3 acres under cultivation. In 1849 it raised 4.000 bushels of wheat 2.000 bushels of oats, 2,500 bushels o1 potatoes, and 2,000 bushels of turnips; and, in 18.51, the produce of the same articles was -wheat 9.861 bushels, oats 6,004 hushels, potatoes 5,194. and turnips 13.250 bushels. In 1844 it had 11:3 inhabitants and in 1851 the population had risen to 985, chiefly Scotch and Irish with their otlsprmg, and a small French settlement one the Take shore. It has no church, no village, and no grist mill. STEPHEN. South of Hay m the township of Stephen. a srttall township lying in the same range. It is only six miles in wdtb by twelve or thirteen in length. It is watered by the Sable River, which enters it at the southeast corner, on the London road. runs across, its whole breadth two or three mules frim the front and after a long circuitous digression into the county of Middlesex returns W Stephen,'near tete lake, where it divides it from the town- ship of Bosanquet in the county. of Could Not Lift Stick of Wood Would Almost Faint From Severe Pain in Back — Doctors Gould Not Get the Kid- neys Set Right.

For some rpeaon or other his medicine" did not have the desired effect. Mr. Oita'. brother was a merohant selling, ammo/ other medicine., Dr. Chase's Kldoey-I*er Pills, and he heard his customers telling about how they were cured of kidney derange- ments by their use. This led to Mr. OIG putting them to the test, with the splendid results reported in this letter. Mr. H. C. Otto, Benton, Carleton County, N. B., writes:, "I am glad to let you know how much your medi- cine has done for me. I suffered from my kidneys, which at one time were SO bad I could not lift a Rick of wood without getting on my knee., and then would almost faint from the pain in my back. I consulted a doctor about It, and he gave me some medicine. but it, did not help tea.

There as some swamp and some sand in Stephen, but generally the land is equal to any in the county, and along the third, fourth and fifth conces- sions may be called superior, owing to the extra depth of rich vegetable mould. It is too loose or too rich to ensure good crops of fall wheal, which frequently gets winter -killed, but the crops of spans wheat and other spring grains and roots are most abundant. The township is thinly settled and a large portion of it is still in the hands of the Canada Com- pany. The front a Stephen war settled at an early date in the history of the county. chiefly with natives of Devon- shire, in England. But it made no progress for many years either in popu- lation, in improvements, or in urtelligence. and in 1844 the population was only 213. But in 1846-7 an influx of settlers and an infusion of new blood produced quite a change for the better. In 1845 only 220 acres were uncles cultiva ion. In 1850 this had risen to 1,495 and in 1851 to 2,180 acres. The crop of 1851 pro- duced—wheat 6,388 bushels, barley 207 bushels,' peas 1,158 bushels, data 6- 798 bushels potatoes 2,424 bushels, and turnips 6,056 bushels. The population. according to the census of 1852 was 742. but it must now be at least twice that number, as the first five concessions are well settled. Besides -Brewster's Mill,'' oorthe lake shore, which has long been kwwn as an extensive saw mill. the town - has lour other sew mills and at bust two grist mills. And to addition to the benefit of the London road. several Irassahle roads are now met with in the township. McGillivray and Biddulph, two town- ships which originally were included in he county of Huron, follow, but as these townships have long ;ince been taken from Huron arta incorporated in the .runty of Middlesex we shall omit them bete. USBORNE. Ugborne hereto the rpith of Biddulph It is a curious kind of a seven -corner figure, extending about ten miles alon the London road, • which is its on straight side. But it is excellent land an of late years has become well nettled an much of it well cultivated. The front it, facing Stephen, was nettled at t same time, and with the same peop (Devonshire), and tete two fronts were known for many years as the "Devon shire settlement," and noted for its non progressiveness. In 1844 llsborne can tainted 283 inhabitants and, though it wa nearly stat unary for some years, a rrvnva did come. and in the census of 1852 1 population is put down at 1,484, near! one-half English.. the other Scotch and Irish in about equal proportions. It had in 1845 728 acres under ,rtltivation In 1849 the produce was, wheat 4, bushels, oats 4.000, potatoes 4.000, tur nips 5 500 and 2,000 pounds of wool a 1,100 Ib.. butter. In 1851 there we 3,487 acres cultivated and 12,949 bushel of wheat, 9.939 of oats, 2,650 peas, 2'29 Marley, and 12,588 lbs. of butter and 2.994 lbs. of wool produced. The soil is of various qualities, in some places light inclining to a sandy or gravelly loam, an in others a good substantial clay. It is for the most part level, with here and there a moderate valley or a miniature hill. The Sable runs along the thud and fourth concessions for some miles, and be- sides it has several small spring creeks. There is a number of passable road opened throughout the township which are every year improved, and ane good (arm houses, both frame and brick. have been built within the last four yearn. it has also one or two sawmills and a grist mill of many years' standing TUCKERSM iTH. c ed g Iy d d of he le s he y 800 • and re 5 d A North: of lt.borne is the township of Tuukersmith, if not thebest, one of the wealthiest in the county. It occupies the acute angle formed by the junction of the Lindon and Huhn roads, and extends about fourteen miles along the former and twelve along the latter. It thus at least presets twenty -sit miles of frontage to the two leading mads of the county. The "Mill road," seven miles in length, also passes across it at the most populous place: and, indeed, many of the concessions and side lines stem good roads as most of the leading arses. rhe lard in general is rolling, but not sknolly, in some places inclining to gravel with a good covering of vegetable earth :but in most parts it is a fine mellow clay fern.

Dr. and Mrs. Aitken and child returned home last Friday after a few weeks' visit with friends at Port Perry, Toronto. Hamilton and Courtright. They were accompanied here by Dr. Aitken's par- ents, of Courtright, and his cousin, Miss Roger., of Hamilton. On Saturday the Doctor and his father went for a week's tnp into the county of Grey to visit old friends and acquaintances. • CHURCH NOTES.—Last Sunday Mr. J.B. MacLean conducted services in the Varna and Blake Presbyterian churches in the absence of the pastor, Rev. D. Johnston, who is attending the summer conference for nunisters at. the 0. A. C., Guelph._ Mr. Stevenson, of the Lord's Day Alli- ance, preached in the Presbyterian churches here and in Hills Green, . The Methodist church was closed on ac- count of quarterly meeting services in the Goshen church. GREAT CROPS.—The shower of rain on Monday of this week was very a _ceptable. Crops here are simply magnificent in ap- pearance, though on account of the recent hot, dry weather there will be some light- weight oats. There are crops here worthy of R. R. Saliows' best work in photo- graphy. We believe they are the best for sixty miles around us. One visitor from Michigan said that a field of oats on Mr. T. Kyle's Larne was the finest he had seen on his top. Land here is not as high in price as the land in Essex and West Kent, but doubtless it will be hi soon as the Americans find out that we live in the granary of Ontario. Historical Churches in Canada. Everyone interested in church history should read the article by Madge Mac- beth in the August Canadian Magazine entitled "HistoricajChurchesin Canada." While Mrs. Macbeth merely sketches the foundation of Christianity in Canada and traces its progress down to recent times, her article is instructive and very inter- esting. To Quebec Province naturally attach most of the early events, but Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and On- tario have their shore, and the record comes down late enough to embrace the old church at Biala 084.. and the Mo- hawk (Indian)'41111111111 as.

Whole -Toned Mn. • Many people have heard of -sing- tag mice," but almost nothing Is known as to the meaning of their performance. One of the moat precise deserip- tlons of the song la given by Mr. C. A. Coburn, who says: "The sound L best described as a meld, whole - toned trill, involving the tones c and d. The quality of the, tote resem- bled somewhat that of a ate or ante. but each tone ended with a slight throaty click." The song can be beard at a distance of from 16 to 20 feet. It is usually heard late at alght or early fn the morning, Dut that may be partly due to the fact that these are usually quiet times. Mr. Coburn mated a female singer with an ordinary mouse, but none of her many children had her walker - My. Nor did It occur in the second or third generation. Some have sug- gested that singing mice are suffer- ing from some demise of the lungs or vocal chords. or that they have asthma, but this 1s only guessing. One curious point is that the few singers that have been examined have all been females. The song is not at all like the ordinary squeaking of mice. Dr. Elliott Count writes of a mouse he had given to him that "in a few moments the little musician piped up, and sang very prettily; it was not squeaking, but singing, musically and rhythmically, in a high key, with a that and wiry but not dis- pleasing quality—something like a weak -voiced eanary bird." We ought to and out something more definite about this curious peculiarity. The kettle "sings," the cat purrs, the dog snores; what does the mouse do'—My Magastn.. Wigwag Smits.
