(Pnblisl ers Press News Serviee) Milwaukee. - Instead of receiving 3000 estred by the father of Frank inndfelder tor the death of his sqn 'ho was killed while empleyed by the city of 11,1flwaukee, the Wisconsin eommissioniin the first ease,. apiarist the ,elity ender the -'new law, inwartled was Ellowe tile' father was not dependent on the son's wages. All these accidents had been settled practically without delay or difficulity. The money came when it was ino. badly needed. On the average, it Moses $82 in fees glad costs to get. $18 to the family, by the ambulance chasing* syatern. In Wisconain no workmen's.farnily in rase of his accidental death In the everyone seeking admission to the Dominion is not necessarily accepted. The Canadian is glad to , welcome the new-oomer, but he very properly requires that he shall be "desirable"; he has no intention of making his broad acres a dumping ground for other nations outcasts. Consequently, one of the duties of the immigration department is to examine the immigraats as they land, and sufferaenly those to proceed who satisfy, certain requirement?, of which 'the Chief are that they be healthy, are going on farms, into domestic) rvioe, or into assured eraploymert, d have a little money in their pocket, so that they are not like through any misehanc,e to become '6 public charge. The money gualifics. tion is waived 'in the case of) farm hands and domestics"going to assured situations and of certain persons going to join a relative. I The exaniination of the shiploade 1 of inamigreints las they disembark at Quebec is on of the Trost instructive and poignant, sights in the Dominion.' The breaking of home ties and the -departure for a strange land will dea.er form one 'of the most touching themes for the artist, whether of the pencil or the pen; and only second to it in interest is the 'landing on this side, when, after the discomforts of the long voyage, the little family looks with widely -opened eyes: on the strange sights that abound, wonders what the new home will be like, and • prepares for the tedious overland jburney to the final destination. What a blendiag of hope and fear, of con- fidence and misgiving, of sick longing for the old :friends, and eager curios- ity concerning the new. 1 It is at such a critical juncture in the immigiant's career that a little, kindness goes a long way. Hence it is one of the department's instruction tO its agents to extend to t'he neve anrivals all courtesy and considera- tion. Comfortable quarters are proa aided for their accommodation at the various stopping places en route, ant; all information is readily given to assist them in reaching the distant town or homestead to which they may be gojng. - In fact, a stranger in Canada need never fail of information and counsel. His own experience has made the Canadian sympathetic, and even a busy man will go far out of his way to direct a. wayfarer to a difficult destine Lion. Of thh various callings followed by thesettlers, farming --either as labor- ers or as homesteaders-thet is, farmers of their own free grant of land -claims by far the majority. This, according to the authorities, is as it should be. The Government does not encourage in any way the immigration of skilled laborers, mechanicsfarmers, farm laborers, acd or tirlisans of any sort.

This rnurioipahity came into existence as an, individual corporation at The la:gaffing of the year 11877 -the proceed- ings preparatory to that event having been effected under ,the General fact by bylaw of the County Council at the Juee session, 1877. We Ilnd that the special census taken before its incorpor- ation gaae Myth a population of 850, and that It was taken by Mr. R. W. Mitchell, who was also Returning:Officer at the elections subsequently 'held for the purpose of choos- ing the first council for the new village. Those elections re- sulted in the return of Patrick Kelly, for Reeve, W. Sloan, M. D., 0. B. McKinnon, James Wilson and Thomas Nichol- son as Councillors. Robt. Phillips was appointed. Clerk and Treasurer ; Chas, Hamilton, Aasessor ; John Gosman, Col- lector,' and J. A, Anderson and R. W. Mitchell, Auditors. Wm. Clegg was Reeve in 1878. • To trace the history of the.place from its first settle- ment is a work involving the relation of nothing but - commonplace events succeeding each -other in the most com- monplace manner, with nought to relieve the anonotony In- cident to the everydaY'existence of life is a baokwoods vil- lage, as Myth might very properly be termed until within - the term above referred to. The first Settlement -within the present limite of Blyth was made by Liscias. A. C. McCoa- nell from the County of York, originally from County Down, Ireland; and Kenneth MeBean, xaSeotchman who load previonsly settled in the township of North Easthrop. Each came sepatately but both arrived almost exactly the same time ; the former occupying Lot 1 and 2 in Cora 10, and the latter Lots 1 and 2 in con. 1.1; in the township of Mor- ris. This is also claimed, and with undoubted authority, to have been the first settlement in the original 'l'ownship of Morris, and it took place in the early part of the mouth of May, 1851. 'rhe next occupier of land within the present village limits was Robert Drummond', This was not • for some years subsequently to the settlement of Messrs. Mc- Connell and IVIeBean. Very soon after the settlement or Tetnpleton and; John Drummond as above, the latter also started a shoe shop ; George Draney moved in and started a blacksmith shop and one Gurney came in, and opened a tailor's shop. This was in 1854 and in 1855 McBean, built a Sawmill and the place began to give promise of some day being quite a village. It was at this time that William Dru,mmond, then manager of the merchantile antahlishment of Adam Hope ;SS Company of London, conceived the idea of laying out a village on the site of his father's property and had it done accordingly. In' looking up old papers (*Imitated to throw light on its early • history Mr. Drummond discovered a bill advertisina the • original land sale weiclo was the inception of the Village of Blyth -for many years called the Village of Drummond. As a *matter 'of historical interest we give this verbatim, 'Extensive Auction Sale--larederick-'Wilson is instructed to sell by Public Auction, without reserve, on Tuesday, the 3rd day of April next, 200 valuable Town`Lots, ono fourth of an acre each, in the Village of •Drummond, situated on the Townline between the townships .01 Wawanosh, Morris and Hullett. This progressive part of the emintry, now* fully settled, is situated within ten miles of ClInton and fifteen from Goderieh. As the settlers in this lecality now require all kinds of mechanics and the coaveutences of a nearer mar- ket town. this will prove a most favorable Opportunity for purelmaing freehold property ; and as the present village is not adequate in any way to supply the wants of the in- creasingly numerOus community of wealthy f armers already in the locality, and as a grist -and saw mill with a tavern. and store are already in completion, the Village of Drum- mond will evanteally prove a moat desirable location. Tbe terms etc., etc., Clinton, Jan, 22n1, 1855." 'Pan grist mill above referred to had just been built by Joseph Whitehead, elsewhere spoken of. Quite a large sale was affected and the place soon assumed a village air. Wil- liam Drummond came during the year 1859 and established the mercantile business. From that time tloe success of the place •seemed assured, though its development, if sure, was also slow ; and as aboVe intimated it was not until the building of the Lake Huron and Buffalo Railway that it re- ceived a very decided impulse -bat when it came It struck the village with such force ap to elevate it since then •froin the proportions of what we have already designated as a backwoods village to those of a lousy and prosperous little railroad town. The receipts of the manieipality for the year 1878 were $3,688.82 of which $2,709.01, were collected in taxes. Of the expenditures which covered :the total amount of receipts, , 11,076.75 went for schools and $176.71 for county rate. On the withdrawal of the, numicipality froen Waavanosh and Morris, Blytb banded over to East Watwanosh its share of the Municipal Loan aaund Sarphis and undertook to Par 8400 additional on the township's assumption iof the whole of its unpaid railway debenture indebtedness ; and in the • ease of Morris that township also assumed alt '1115 unpaid debentures, the village undertakiag to repay the township. 1800 in ten years with intereet. ' As a little incident in connection with this early history it might be mentioned. that Ronald, son of Kenneth MeBean, was ths first white child born in the plane. The forst ree ligous service pact held in this locality was by Rev. Mr. Atkins, elsewhete spoken of, in the boUse of Mr. McBean, and this gentleman alser performed the first marriage cane- mony in the neighejorhood an -so it is said -in tiae township of Morris, between John •Laidlaw and a Miss Waldy, Varna 'ley.

Coh- en, a converted Hebtew, now lectur- ing on the Bible, will speak on, "Why Does God Permit Calatnities?" The question bas been raised in con- nection with the recent disasters by storrn, fire and flood, and it, is said that in this lecture the Bible history will be carefully examined as to why God. is permittlag alt these catastro- phies. The speaker has *travelled ex- tensively throughout the country and lias iregaantly lectured to large aud- iences in the foremost cities. Press reports show that he has been well received Wheaever he went and that his free lectures have aroused much interest in, I3ible study. "The peo- ple," he says, "have often asked me why God is permitting his children to sutler such unapealeable misery, not only in disastera, but al- so in sickness, pain, heart-rending experiences of all kinds, even death. Will It always be tlius ? Why didn't God make earth like heaven ?. Could- n't God's plans be improved upon ?
