McKILLOP. Chtpvette the northeast parts" of Tuc- kenimith. and on the north ride of (be Huron toad. is 'be township of McKillop. r 1t is an oblong *quart of about nu* miles wide and eleven long bounded on the east by Logan un the county of Perth. Oil the front the land is flat and comparatively Tight and farther back it is roiling, hilly and in eon* places affords an excellent supply of gravel of the first quality. Std the toe reship has a 1 uantity of first rate land and oue of t rt avicul- ture' settlements that can beatet with in any part of the Province. But. as a whole. it is but thuily settled, and beyond the fourth or fifth concession not settled at all save by a few squatters A w ilderneek of at least six miles in depth on the whole wdth of the township is yet in the ham& of the Canada Company and cannot be purchased, and in this large tract there are thousand of aces of fine land. Tbe pruictpal road W the new townships tot Grey, Morris, Howick and Tuniberry passes through this wilderness. and is in the list of roads to be gavelled M the county council. consequently the lands would sell at large prices, but the com- pany are immovable. McKillop is *eh watered; a branch of the Maitland rutty through it in an angling direction. from the northwest to southwest. and on which a grist mill has been in operation for maty years. and a sawmill with an extensive business ib also on this stream. Silver creek and Carron brook. with other little streams, likewise run through McKillop. In 1844 the township had 321 inhabitants an 1 in 1852, according to the census re- port, the population had increased to 884. meetly Scots and Irish., in- about equal proportions. In 1845 789 aces were under cultivation. and m 1849 7,010 bushels of wheat and 5,900 bushels of oats wets raised. and in 1851 the produce was. wheat, 11.147; oats. 12.734; peas. 4,428; barley, 240 bushels; and 2.697 acres were under cultivation. HULLETf. The tow nship of Hullett is situated on the northwest side of McKillop and on the same side of tbe Huron road. It is a kind of tnangle with two corners broken off. It has the same tributary of the Mait and that waters McKillop, and the north corner is bounded by the main body of that river. It has also several other small streams and is well supplied with mills, both steam and water power. In 1844, Hullett had only 195 inhabi- tants and these were mostly on the south- east corner of the township, and it was not till within the last Ove years that any considerable increase took place. The population. however. is now greater than that of McKillop and as put down in the last census at 955; but the larger portion of them are lessees of a comparatively re- cent date. accordingly we find that. though the population is greater than that of McKillop, the number of cleared acres and the quantity of produce are much less. The crop of 1851 produced, wheat. 8,513 bush.; oats. 9.195 bushels; peas, 1.633 bushels. and 1.978 acres were under cultivation. But Hullett has, nevertheless, a. large propottion of good land, and in the early, tUed part of it a number of good farm well cultivated. Several of the lines are c:eared out and have become quite passable roads. and the line that separates it from Goderich on the northwest. about twelve miles in length, is included in the list of roads to be gravelled. But the great d raw back to the progress of Hullett is the unsold lands; a large share of the township still belongs to the Company and is likely to rein n so for many years. as it occupies a position that is every day adding to its value. A preponderance of the popula- tion is English, the rest a fair admixture of Scots and lush. COLBORNE. To the north of Goderich, and on the opposite side a the Maitland, is the town- ship of Colborne, an unshapely figure. hounded on the south and east by the zigzag course of the river and on the west by the lake. It is a small township but well settled in proportion. The land is uneven and the sail is generally light. It grows excellent hemlock but it grows good wheat too. Besides the Maitland it has a number M small streams with mill privi leges, and mills on them. and an ex- tensive steam sawmill has lately been erected about three miles north of Gode rich on the leading road It was among the early settlements of Huron. and in 1844 had a population of 505 and in the following year 1558 area were under cultivation. In 1849 the quantity of wheat raised was only 8,000 bushels, and of oats 6,800 bushels, but the produce of 18.51 was, wheat. 11,002 bushels; oats, 12,419; A NERVOUS IREAKDOWN Miss Kely Tells How L cha E.

Colborne has a number of tolerable roads. but the principal one is the "Eighth Line." which strikes off the Goderich and Saugeen road eastward three miles from the town of Goderich. This eighth line crosses the breadth of the township Mae its northeast corner, where it is separated from Hullett by a bend of the River Maitland, and where it intersects the line that divides Wawanosh from Colborne and Hullett. In this corner. at *he junction of the three townships. a strong trues -work bodge of about two hundred feet in length and supported by stone piers thirty feet in height is now nearly completed. and when finished this road extending along the north end of Nutlet and McKillop will become the leading road to the new townships. The neer Maitland, at this point.;is a beautiful. broad swift stream, and its banks, bends and scenery form one of the prettiest sylvan pictures to be met with in Huron. A village called Manchester has been surveyed and the beauty of the locality and extensive water pnvilege will nodoubt induce an extensive demand for building lots; the distance from Goderich is ten miles, the road is to be gravelled and will be one of the best travelled roads in the count). The popu- lation of Colborne in 1852 was 921, con- sisting of nearly equal proportions of Scots, tri h and English. The number of acres under cultivation was 3,625. We have now noticed tile eleven town- ships belonging to the Canada Company. The remaining six are Government town- ships. and being but recently settled af- ford only meagre statistics and small mat- ter for observation. ASHFiELD. Ashfreki. a kind of triangular figure, lies on the lake shore, north of Colborne, and extends to the boundary of the county of Bruce. It is the poorest town- ship in the county, both Xi soil and in settlement. The land is rough and swampy and much broken up with glens and gullies. A stream called the Ashfield River runs through it and affords consider- able mill privilege, wh►ch. to some extent, has been taken advantage of by the erec- tion of small mills. It has reveral other streams and abundant water power, but kttle use for it. In 1844 it contained 266 inhabitants and 228 acres, or less than one a -re a piece. were under cultivation. In 1850 the population had rises to 682 and 1.094 acres were cultivated, and ac- cording to the last census the population was 907 and the cuitivated acres 989, or a little over an acte a piece. The produce of 1851 was 3,171 bushels of wheat, 2,459 bushels of oats, 551 bushels of peas, and potatoes. turnips and maple sugar in pro- portion. The Goderich and Saugeen mad passes through the length of the township. and was, till lately, all but impassable, but through the labor of the settlers it is improving, and being one of the leading roads of the county is likely to come in for a share of the gravel. The other roads of Ashfield are not good, and as a large tract of the north end of the township fell into the hands of specula- tors, and is still a wilderness, local. im- provementp are not likely to make much progress. The population is almost en- tirely Irish Catholics and Scotch Highlan- ders. "Rule Britannia" in German Prison. On his return from Germany. where he was for three years a Prisoner, Hon. Dr. Beland told some of his experiences. Among them was the following prison inci- dent. On New Year's eve, 1916, he was mak- ing his rounds as jail surgeon and came to the cell of a stalwart Scottish veteran, who always spoke with "the accent of the heather." As he turned away, the Scot— his name was Kirkpatrick—whispered to him: "It's possible I'II be celebrating the New Year a wee bit when it comes in." Dr. Beland pleaded for particulars, for he thought the Scot planned an 'escape, which he feared might result fatally. as the guard was especially vigilant. But he could secure no information from the taciturn man of mystery. He was wake- ful and anxious. for he was fond of his fellow-pnsorner. The midnight hour had just tolled. however, when, from the Scot's cell. in a clear, resonant baritone, with an unmis- takable accent, there rolled the words of "Rule, Britannia." sung with the full vigor of a strong voice—and sung through to the end. "The whole prison was alive in a moment," said Dr. Beland. "The pnsoners crowded to the windows, clap- ping their hands. cheering and joining m the chorus. So. ted by the gallant Scot, there was heartily sung in the centre of Berlin that New Year morning the rous- ing declaration that Britain rules the waves and that Britons never shall be slaves. The Germans set an investiga- tion on Coot, but, so far as we heard. nothing definite came of it." Oemelts improve Tads.

It was the new process for dephoa- phorizlag Iron, in smelting, that gave sudden and unexpected value to the vast iron ore bed. of Lorraine and the adjacent territory. The larger part of these lay in Fiance, or out- side of Germany. If Bismarck had only known their importance 1a 1870! Tbere might sever have been then a European war. For It was directly dire to the fact that the great ore deposits of Europe lay In this territory, while the larger coal deposits were In the Ruhr dis- trict and roundabout, :n Germany, that the present conflict was precipi- tated. Germany's industrial great- ness, her vast manufactures, the astonishing rise of her export trade wltbfn forty years, were all pivoted upon her huge possessions of coal, Just aa this la the key to the Indus- trial greatness of the United States. It was almost wbolly ber possessions of coal and iron that trade England the mistress or a far-reaching empire. Had Germany not grown rich out or ber coal and iron industries she would have never had the wealth nor Use factories with which to wage the migbttest war la history. Already her more foresighted economists are pointing out that unless one of the fruits of this war is the ore fields of France, ft w111 be for Germany bar- ren ar ren of its greatest possibilities. In the Nineteenth Century Mr. J. Ellis Barker, aitbor of "Modern Ger- many," has as Important article saw - ming up the coal and Iron resource, of the natloas and their probable is - fluence upon future development. Pointing out drat of all that not oaly is the world's population densest en and around the actively exploited coal fields, and that In the last forty years the consumption of coal In the world bac increased more than sevenfold, he takes note that while at the outbreak of the war England and Germany were producing about equal amounts of coal, their potential re- sources are quite unequal. So far as present knowledge ex- tends, tbe coal reserves of Germany are not less than twice those of Great • Britain, and more than half those of all Europe. But he neglects to point out that this balance may soon be disturbed by the development of the coal resources of REBER. 1f the Rua - elan fields should become Germany's possession or available to Germany her predominance would be still more increased. When we turn ro the comparative resources In iron, very much the same condition holds. The actual or known, reserves of Germany are near- ly tbree times those of Great Britain and surpass those of any other Euro- pean country. France is her only not- able rival. While the coal output and resources of France are almost negli- gible, her Iron ore holdings are enor- mous, practically equal to those of Germany. But tbey all lie close to the German border, and the first tbtag that Germany did was to seise this region and bold it Tbe districts occupied by the Gema• troops yield- ed France two-thirds et her coal and 10 per cent. of ber Iron. Germany likewise seized the lies beds of Luxembourg sad Belgium, et Poland and Western Russia. She has also practically monopolized the iron exports of Sweden. She thus pos- sesses to -day, to all intents, a full two-thirds of Europe's iron, and Po- tentially at Hart nearly as much of lta coal. In natural resources Ger- many Is to -day by tar the most favor- ed Industrial nation of Europe. These are facto which moat be squarely faced.
