PRESENT. —A brief outline of the village history and description of the principal commercial and industrial institutions. itutions. "Sweet Auburn! lovelest village of the plain, Where health and plenty cheered the lab- oring ewe iu,, Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid, Anal parting summers lingering blooms delay'd." Who can imagine the feelings of Goldsmith when he penned these lines in reference to the home of his child- hood? What emotions filled his breast --what deli; fitful visions passed before his mind. So it is with every patriotic heart, men have always loved and will always love and will always love to reflect upon the days of the past. True in some lives, these have been days of hardships and trials; but after all there seems to be a certain pleasure in bring ing before the mind the happy days of .childhood. Many a fireside has'been made happy- bytales told of,days PY the of yore, Many an aged heart has been made to swell by a single reflection upon the long ago; but more especially is this true in reference to the pioneers. of the neighborhood of which we are about to speak. "They had a hard. roe to hoe." True in connection with the settlement of every part of the Canadian wilderness, there has been a great many hardships to contend with, a great many high hills to climb in the pathway of fame; but the pe- culiar character of the country has made it one of the most different dis- tricts to clear up and get into a fit condition to be cultivated. The cur- rent opinion as to who the first of the many Germans who pitched their tents in the neighborhood of the "big marsh" seems to be in favor of John Oesch and family, who settled on the 12th con. of Hay. This was about thirty-three years ago, and one can form a faint idea of what the country was then like. by taking ;a walk through the swamp on the east of us. However, the steady, persistent, never -give -in nature of the German, overcame all difficulties coped with every hardship, and now the country surrounding us is one of the best farming districts in the Dominion. About 1845 or 46, the first settlers be- 'gan to . locate in this neighborhood. The founder of the village was Freder- ick Knell, a Swiss, who settled on lot 21 of the 11th con. Soon after came Messrs. Peter Deichert and Frederick Axt, blacksmiths; but among the early settlers; who are now residents of ' the village; are Messrs; Jahn and Nicholas Deichert Christian, George and Fred- erick Hess, Daniel Steinbach, . Michael Zeller, and, Henry Greb. The first hotel was kept by Mr. Henry Soldan, who acted as landlord of the hotel and general shoemaker of the community. The first merchant was Mr. F. Knell, who also kept the postoffice, which was opened in 1857, having a mail three times a week from Bayfield; Mr. Knell also ran the first grist and saw mill of the village. As the years rolled on, each brought with it some changes, some improvements and something new; but as is the case in many newly settled countries, the first settlers here were not a shiftless dissatisfied class, of people. ..Up -hill climbing did not cause them to pull up stakes and seek a country where a liyelihood could be obtained Fiore easily. No, all almost to a man stood to his post, battled with the difficulties, overcame all obstacles and helped each other through, g 1 , and this the prosperi ,y and splendid com- mercial position of our village is chiefly due. Had the Germans been a shift les, dissatisfied race, Zurich would not have been what it is to -day, a thriving enterprising little town of six or seven hundred inhabitants, doing as much businhss as many towns of twice the size. Thus it is that a wild and un- cultivated tract of country, by the thrift and enterprise of its people has been converted into a prosperous set- tlement; ranking high among the most. important of Ontario, the most import- ant of our fair Dominion. Among the principal commercial and industrial institutions of the village now, are four general stores, two tailor shops, two harness makers, two boot and shoe shops, drug store, carriage factory, tannery, woolen mill, grist mill, flax mill,two good hotels, hardware, , butcher, two blacksmith -shops, Cooper, puinpmaker and bookstore. There are also four good churches, Lutherean, .a.al. n v an ell c.A. Baptist, Catholic and >; splendid brick school, accommodating nearly one hundred and eighty pupils, and,,in which. arc employed three teach ers; a postoffice with mail twice a day from I-ensall;a telegraph office and the Own hall, which has been erected at a cost of nearly seven hundred dol,ars. There is a public clock in the tower of the Lutherean church, which adds greatly to the appearance of that edi- fice. We have also something.` which we believe no other town in the world can boast. We refer here to the Electric clock erected by Mr George Bess, in front of his jewelery store. This clock works like a regulator, in fact better, for the reason that frost, Brat or damp weather will not effect it in the least. We are pleased to hear that a patent has been obtained in Canada, and that application has been made for the same in the United States and Germany. The object of the writer however, is to give, a brief outline of the village history from the time of its foundation to the present, and a brief description of the more'iinpertalit com mereial and iltdtlstrialinstitutions that PT . e e.4 make up the present village. The former wehavc .tried to outline as brief- lyossible, therefore the remarks here - la after willbe p especially confined to the . y latter. (To be continued) 11cusall. OATS! OATS!
