A Hare Old Diary, Journal of John' G. Howard Con- i tai's Many Interesting Entries. €' The following is taking frons the diary of the late John G. Howard, who was an uncle of the Misses Mountcastle• of tow" the morning of the 25th—Christ- mas Day—I shot a deer and, some quail at rear part of High Park,' near Blear street,'" say an entry for 1837 in the diary Of the late John G. Howard, printed in a quaint: old volume which Mr. W. C. Wil- kinson, secretary of Education, recently unearthed in his library. Mr. Howard, one of the most notable characters in the early history of Toronto, is best remem bered as the donor of High Paris to the city. He kept a daily Journal of the doings of Toronto in the early days, and in 1888 published the gist of itin book form, now a rare volume which 'a 'very few Torontonians are 'so fortunate as to possess. Mr. Wilkinson has, be- sides the printed volume; an actual vol- ume of the diary from the year 1849 to 1855 in Mr. Howard's handwriting, and so rich is it in little items of interest, personal as well a a s historical; that Mr. Wilkinson intends to leave it to the Pro- vincial Archivist. The item about deer and quail hunt ing in I-Iigh Park is not the only one of interest. From the date of his emi- gration to Canada in 1832 to hie death. Mr. Howard's life was full of event. In 1832 with his wife, he set sail on a small ship for Canada, taking eleven weeks and three days from London to York (Toron- to) On landing on Canadian 'soil some where in the gulf, Mr. Howard said: "At first we walked about with great caution, expecting to see wild beast and reptiles. I shot a grouse, a dozen snipe, etc., picked a quart of wild gooseberries, and lost about a pint, of blood by the mosquitoes and sand of I•Ie arrived in Toronto at six in the morning, on Sept. 14, 1832. Mr. How and was a trained architect and survey or, and expected to find employment at once from the Canadian Government. 1 -le experienced many hardships, however until his worth was made known, and then dregned most of the houses of Toren to, and later, as City Engineer, erected most of the civic buildings including Queen Street Asylum, the old courthouse Jail, the old market, and most of the bigger buildings on Front street. The Lord Bishop Stewart, of Quebec, called to pay his respects to Mrs. How aid, who was busy washing in one corn er of the kitchen. She took her hands out of the wash tub and the bishop shook hands with her" "In 1833 I built Dr. Widner's cottage on Front street, Thomas Mercer Jones villa on the corner of York and Front streets, Chewett's Buildings, and the British Coffee House, where the Rossin House now stands." "In 1834, the first Mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, employed rhe as City Surveyor, and I put down the first 11 foot plank sidepaths on King street." "On Thursday, Dec. 7th, 1S37, I led the right wing of the scouting party up Yonge street to attack the rebels, who had congregated at Montgomery's Tay ern." All this time Mr. Howard was busy putting up scores of residence, shops, and institutional buildings—and taverns. "In 1842, built two stores on King street, Nos, 103 and 104, with German silver sashes and plate glass, No. 103 was built of the first White brick used in Toronto. 1 gave the brick maker 3960 for 20,000. They were of clay." • "In 1842 I shot a bald eagle flying over the city." • "In 1S44 I gained first prize of :150 for a design of a market house for Kingston, but got only 1:28, they were so poor." "in 1853 1 was appointed an associate budge, and had the honor of sitting on the ench for four years with Chief Justice Robinson, Judge McLean, and Judge Richards," leaesesomt n•••••••••• • A • WITH 'um, CHURCHES. • • • e000ar000measo®ooiros BAPTIST CHURCH.
