Seventy years ago, and es long li before as the writer's memory serves him, the mansion in quer- tion was owned and occupied by Major Murray, a retired British officer. The mansion stood at the top of a. natural elevation high above the river and nestled in the centre of a beautiful grove• of pine, cedar and, maple trees. At the moment the writer cannot recall the exact spelling of the name by which the prop- erty was known. The property extended down to the river's edge: At the foot of the hill, end south of the mansion, targets had been set up for use of the Rifle Club (of which the Major was a prominent member) -which held shooting matches at frequent intervals. The writer has not noticed any ref- ! erence to Major Murray in the Historical Sketches. To those 'si'r'e who knew him he was a typical English gentleman; but not one to seek the limelight..
