HURON FIFTY YEARS AGO Some Interesting Facts Recalled By A County Directory. (Huron Expositor.) Mr. Joseph Scott, of Roxboro, Mc- Killop, has placed at our disposal a very interesting volume. It is intitled the County of Huron Gazetter and General Business Directory for 1863-4. It was the property of his father, the late James Scott. It was printed and published by Sutherland Brothers of In- gersoll, in 1663. The price was $1.50. It is a volume of 191 pages, is well printed and neatly but not elaborately gotten tip. It is in an excellent state of preservation and has been well taken care . of. It contains a lot of very interesting information which, at the time of publication, must have been very useful. It contains a brief hisori- cal.and descriptive sketch of the county. townships, towns and villages, also the post offices with the names of the post- masters and the net revenue received by each. This le a;: o a Est t.f the mem- hers of the Canadian Parliament and the Government. ' The Clinton Courier was published by George Laycock, who also had a book store. The Canadian Empire, the only Conservative paper in Huron, was published in Goderich by Thomas Mc- Cleneghan. • In its description of the. County of Huron it says: The Huron Tract was explored in 1827: in 1828• there were only three miserable huts and two un- finished buildings in the whole tract, and in 1832 the township of Goderich contained a little over three hundred inhabitants and a post run once every two weeks between Goderich and Guel- ph. In 1834 the Canada Company built p steamboat in Goderich, but owing to a bar which was formed by the wind in the mouth of the Maitland River, the steamer was uuable to leave the har- bor'during the whole summer, which raised the price of flour from five to nixie; dollars. Immigration in this coun- ty reached its highest point in 1832, since then the tide of immigration has flucteted very much from different •causes, local, political and accidental. The total'occupiers of the land in the county are 6,315, the amount of acres of laird held by them. is 632,024; the number of acres under cultivation, 215,- 325; the cash value of farms is 810,- 989,80KThe number .farms acres under fall wheat in 11+61 was 5,665, .showing a yield of 21 and a half bushels per acre; the number spring wheat was • 74,8e1, givii'g an average of 20 bushels per acre. There were 1,251 acres under barley, giving ale average of 271-2 bushels .per aese There are 111 common schools in the coutite. The, number of teachere as employed in these schools were 140 or 1'"9 finales and • 14 females. There were three male and three female teach- ers it Goderich and 'one male and one female in Clinton. The highest salary paid a male teacher inthe county was $460 and the lolvest $844. The average gala: y.of male . teachers without board twig ;2x00, and the average salary paid female • teachers without board, $180. The I_igbns't salary paid a male teacher in Godo rich was $300 and the lowest e:160. Them was 1 School on y one High behoof its the coi nfr-:thatat Goderich -the attend - mice being 24, of which only seven cane from county outside of Goderich. The teacher's salary was $:600. There were 7,:'03 horses in' the county, valued at$7.i".0,000, and the total value,of all the Jive. stock was 41,4410,:fi5. . When there are children in the home it requires constant attention to keep them free from the many childhood ail meuts which come so quickly --some of them proving fatal while others leave the little one cross, restless and weak. To keep little ones well Baby's Own Tablets must be kept in the house. These Tablets regulate the stomach and bowels; break up colds and fevers; ex- pel worms and make teetbing easy. The Tablet, are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 2:+ cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 23 RU ,S A:LS. Dr. T.

Grey township, when their daugh- ter, Miss Aggie, was united in marriage with Walter Davidson, of McKillop, in the presence of about 30 guests, the near relatives of the two families and the members of the Presbyterian choir of Duff's church, Walton, of which the bride has been a most faithful and effi- cient member. The bride worea beau- tiful gown of white voile and carried a 1 arge bouquet of white carnations. Rev. 1 R. A. Lundy, of Walton, performedthe marriage ceremony. During therecep- tion and the signing of the re - j gister a quartette from the choir sang 1 "The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden." The wedding dinner was served in ex- cellent style in the spacious dining room Iafter which speeches and toasts were participated in. Among the numerous gifts to the bride and groom testifying Ito the high esteem in which they are held, was a beautiful silver tea service presented by the choir of Duff's church, Walton. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson will reside in McKillop and have rhe hearty gond wishes of a wide circle of relatives and friends for a very happy and pros- perous life. nOfN, SHORTREED - In Morris, on April Gth, to Mr. and Mrs. Imbert Shortreed; a son.
