Est Wawao nob, while Tnrnberry forma its North. eastern boundary and Schell and Me. I{salon its South-western. The township originally contained 57,120 uoree of land and water.. Ito Cartoon is oomparatively even ex• opt near the river, The South branch of the Maitland enters at Brueeele and pursuing lin extremely irregular comae leaves Glia township near the ,Northern angle, at Wiegham, having been joined by the middle branch, which enters the township at Bluevale. Along the banks of theoe streams the land in extremely broken wbioh ie the ohief exception to the general description of a comparative evenness of surface. In fact, both in this reepeot ae well as in regard to quality of Boil, Morrie very strongly resembles Grey and Wawanoeh. ()onside those parts of Morris now in. eluded within the limits of Blyth and Brunetti, the first settlement in the town. ehip was made at Belgrave by e party 000eieting of John MoOrae, Christo. pber Oorbett,John Brandon and Robert Armstrong. These were all originally from County Fermanagh in Ireland, but had afterwards settled in West Gwillim. bury, Simooe County, whepoe they came to take up their residenoeo in Morrie. They first aame in September, 1851, in. tending to eeleot land and build shanties thereon before returning ; but before making n got a choice the season eo far advanced that t aG tyd be oonoluded to afar 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. 1 The first school erected in the township was on lot 11, non. 6, and the first teaoher was Rebecca Vanes, whose family had Dome from Napanee and settled in Bruce. field. Rev. Mr. Atkins (N. 0. Meth.) was 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 10, con, 5, the other on lot 6, con, 5. The first couple married in the town. ship were Margaret, daughter of John. Brandon, and Joon Lawlor, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Mr. Dossier, a Methodiet minister, and the that white 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- liam Wileon, John MoRae and Charles Forrest ae Councillors ; J. B. Taylor, Clerk ; John Laidlaw, Aeeeeeor ; Donald Scott, Collector. Mr. Parker was re. eleoted in 1857, and William Wileon was returned for 1858, 1859--1880 end from 1862 to ISM being "left" one year, 1861, by William Mooney. The year 1864 was the first in whioh Morris was entitled 10 a Deputy Reeve. Prom that time for. ward the township's represe0tativee in the County Council were : 1864, Chan, Whitehead, John Perdue ; 1865 and 1866, Charles Whitehead, Alfred Srown 1867 and 1868, Alfred Brown, 1 Thomas Kelly; ohm and *87 ' hoa " Kelly Ring* I,.

How Canadian Farms 0111,0 been Cover- ed with Them, An exhibit that was in course of pre- paration when oar reporter wag "writing op the Central Canada Exhibition was 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, and be sowed in good flelde. It is doubt- 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 by the train. Can this be a000mpli'ehed by means of an exhibit? Yee, at ail events to a certain extent. In a number of clear gime tabes ie shown need that has been offered for sale, and sold, too, to—shall we eay it—uneue. peotiog farmers. These tubes will show that some grades of seed contain only a very small proper, tion of the kind of seed that is nominally sold, that is, ten peme01 of clover Beed and ninety per cent of weed eeede. In one lot that we examined there wag not more than ten to twelve per asst of mover seed. The remainder of the sample was composed chiefly of sorrel, a variety of cockle called by French-Canadian farmers gorlo ; milfoil, ox•eyed daisy, with a few grace eeede of several kinde, and a few rare seeds of other useful planta. The cbaraater of the whole exhibit could be judged in almost a glance, but the gentle. man in charge informed re that one al most absolutely pore sample was enured from a seedoman, and that all the other samples—a large number—varied from that in a rapidly deeoending ratio down to. the one already described, of about ten per Dent good seed.
