Mrs. Nelson Peterson, who is well and favorably known here, and who left here with her husband and family about a year ago for Barwick, Rainy River District, writing from that .place July 13th, says:—We have had a very dry spring here, but have had a lot of rain last week and this. The dry weather, has kept the crops back considerably in this district. Our gar- den stuff looked fine (owing, doubtless to having kept it well watered)but its bright prospects all vanished one night --the frost came and cut every- thing frost ,could hurt. This hap- pened the last day of June and it was indeed discouraging, considering I hadtaken such pride in my splendid little plot of vegetables. The settlers who have lived here since the country first opened, say they never knew of. frost so late in the season, and it is to he hoped we never shall again. We have nearly twenty-five acres in crop which compares favorably with those of our neighbors. The place where we are, ` the fire went through about eight years ago, hence it is easily cleared. We have only about five or six acres of green bush on our place. Nelson and Alfred are working at Rat Portage in the saw mill Alf, is just recovering from an attack of typhoid fever.

His life, thus, spann- ed inmost the present century and of the 'world's wonderful advances during these year's were a constant theme of his conversation. As a boy he saw the Highlanders Regiments, few in. hien but rich in glory, marching north- ward to their Scottish homes. Little did the world then dream that in his last years the same Gordon Highlan- ders would be winning fame in what was then the unknown wilds of dark- est Africa. He watched the inception and development of railway, steani- boat 'and telegraph. In his life much that we now consider ordinary .and commonplace has been iptroduced, and much. which in his youth,, ky'ould. semi iurporsible has become i matter of every day life. Tee telepl) ire, the phonograph and the electric light would have in his boy -hood days been am unbelievale conjecture. While the world moved on his own life history was progressing, In 1S31 he was mar- ried; to Ann Blanchard and twelve children, nine of whom grew up, were born to bless their union. In the year•. 1551, he, together with his family, then consisting of six children, left the old land for the expanding fields of "America," as all the continent be- yond the Atlantic was. in those ,days,, called. After being tossed on isstk} waves for six weeks and six days '>6 ey landed in New York, and set foot on the soil of the, to them., "New World." The summer of 1851 was spent in the township of Pickering, and in the fall the (move to Usborne township was made. There were no railroads and travelling was slow anti; toilsome;; but at:last the site of the present Town of Exeter was readied. Atcheson's shoe store and Carling's tannery were then the only places of business at Exeter. James Pickard, Exeter's pioneer mer- chant, had just commenced keeping store on a very small scale, in a house on the 3rd concession. Here Mr. Park- inson purchased a bake -kettle, in which tha family's bread should be prepared, the luxury of stoves being then undreamed of in the Huron wilds. After resting a few days in Granny Welsh's shanty, the time carne for the last stage of the journey to be taken, The distance to their destined home, on the 8th concession was a. matterof six mules, still night found them in the bush, one mile from home, and, but for the friendly shelter of the shanty of Joseph Hogg, the only settler in the neighborhood, they must have slept in the open air. Jesse, the eldest son, now a prosperous farmer in New ,Zea- land. had been sent forward to prepare the shanty for their coming, and dur- ing the long watches of that never-end- ing night he stood in the opening in shanty -walls, for which no door had yet been prepared. axe in hand to pro. tea himself ,from some wolf or bear, which he expected might attack him during the night. Tiine flew on and under the sturdy woodman's axe the forest vanished. The fields blossom e1; luxuriant harvests spread themselves for the reaper's sickle; prosperity came in their train, and this hardy pioneer, after many years of•struggleand often disappointment, found himself in com- fortable circnmsta•nces. Husband and wife then decided to retire from the farm and spend their declining years in rest, at Exeter. In 1882 they cane to the little cottage on Simcoe st., but Providence had decreed that the lov- ing union of fifty-one years should be severed. On the '24th of July, 1883, the patient help -nate was taken home and the husband and father left to tra- vel the remainder of life's journey alone. However, a loving companion was left to him, and for the remaining seventeen years of his life, Miriam was was his constant and devoted attend- ant, lavishing on a noble and worthy father all the wealth of a faithful daughter's love. Affection could not stay, care c• r could not cheek the on- ward ward march of ravaging time. Old age, came apace; and sinking down into the clear light`of a life: spent in hones- ty and uprightness, this nobleman of nature passed to his long and well- earned rest. Loved and;. mourned by child and friend, he has gone. but be- hind him there is left the memory of a pure life, a monument more enduring than granite or marble; behind him there is left the influenceof an exam- ple high in its faithfulness and its pur- ity, and never-ending in its power for good.
