clearing and building operations till the
next Spring. The lots selected and
where•theyenbaegnently settled were ae
foliowe : McCrae, Lot 2, Con. 5 ; Cor-
bett, Lot 3, Con. 5 ; Brandon, Lot 3,
Con. 4 : Armetroog, Lot 6, Con. 4. In
puranit of their intentions they returned
early in the Spring of 1852, effected small
olearinge on their lots and after erecting
shanties and planting .potatoes, etc,
again returned, coming in to remain per.
manently in the Fall of 1852. At the
time of their firet coming there was no
settler in the township except Kenneth
McBean and William McDonnell, who
bad email clearings and log shantiee
where Blyth now atande.
During the latter part .of 1852, how-
ever, a number of settlers oame into the
different eeotione of the township. Chas.
M. Parker, afterwards the fires Reeve,
was the first who followed them—and in
feet his aoteal settlement dates ahead of
them all as he came in, put up a shanty
o Lot 10, Con. 6, and .remained there
daring the time the others were East.
Among the earliest of the other settlers
were Joseph England, William, John and
David Geddes, and Hector McLean, who
settled on the 3rd and- 4th line ; Abra-
ham Prootor, Lot 7, Con. 4 ; Chas. Proc-
tor, Lot 7, Con. 5 ; and Joseph Stubbs,
Lot 8, Oon. 4. Farther South John Kel-
ly, with a large family of eons, settled in
May, 1853; on Lot 13, Con. 7. Still a.
little farther 'South William Wilson,
afterwards for many years Reeve, settled
in June, 1863 ; and the Laidlawe had
already settled a short time previously
along the 9th and 1002 lines ; and in
1853, also, another family of five brothers
of Keltye (of whom Thomas "was after.
wards Reeve of the township) settled on
the 8,h and 9th linea. Mr. Wilson was
the magistrate wbo palled the firet pnblio
meeting in the township both for school
and municipal purposes. William Arm-
strong, lot 8, con. 5, also settled in the
Fall of 1853 ; William Baines located
jaet a week previous to him on lot 7, con,
4 ; Alex, Finlay sometime during the
preceding Sommer on lot 14, con. 5 ; and
Robert A.rmetrong on lot 6, coo. 7, in
the Antmmn of 1853. The first eettlere
in the Eastern part of the township were
George Forsyth, who settled upon lot 28,
non. 5, in the early part of September,
1853, and Sohn Sample, who oame in on
the Grey town line. a short time eabee-
gaently. There was not a Bingle settler
North of the 4th eoneeaeion till atter the
Winter of 1853-1854, but during the en -
ening Spring the influx was large and
continued unabated until almost every
lot in the township was oconpied within
the couree of a half dozen years.
Among those who came in daring the
Winter of 1853 1854 was William Harris.
He settled at what was galled "Bodmin,"
whioh was named after the comity seat
of Cornwall, England, hie native town.
He built a grist and sawmill there, the
fleet in the present limits of the township.

was on lot 11, non. 6, and the first teaoher

the first minister who ever preached in
the township. He game first in the
eeaeon of 1863 and during the Winter of
1853 54 used to travel on snow shoes, fn
"heavy marobing order" with his pack
on his back. Mr. Atkins preached for
several years in the log Sabine of the.
eettlere, until a ahareh building was pro-
vided—two of which were onbeegnently
erected about the same time, one on lot

Brandon, and Joon Lawlor, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. Mr. Dossier, a

child born was Chrietopher, eon of
Joseph England, above referred to.
By the year 1856 Morris, whioh with
Grey also had been united for municipal
puepbsey.ltwith MoKillop,. entered upon
an ibdepeodently organized existence.
The first Reeve was Charles M.
Parker, with Christopher Corbett, Wil-

Forrest ae Councillors ; J. B. Taylor,
Clerk ; John Laidlaw, Aeeeeeor ; Donald
Scott, Collector. Mr. Parker was re.

1862 to ISM being "left" one year, 1861,

made by the Department of Agrionitnre.
It aoneietej of farm eeede, that ie, grass
and olover seeds, and, strange to eay, the
object, o1 it was not to show how good e
quality of eeede was supplied to our
farmers, on whom, to a very great extent
the prosperity of our country depends,
but, on the contrary, how vile the quality
of eeede might be and atilt find Bale, aye,

less intended to form an objeot lesson to
demonstrate the neaeeaity of teaching the
youth who are to be the coming farmers
the dangers ahead, eo that they may
learn to discriminate between good seed
and bad, and to Mamma upon them the
source of the flowery grain fields and
pastures, that look eo pretty as we rash

one lot that we examined there wag not
more than ten to twelve per asst of mover

composed chiefly of sorrel, a variety of
cockle called by French-Canadian farmers

rare seeds of other useful planta. The
