The country was sparse- ly settled, and there were plenty of wolves, a few 'bears and deer and numerous small animals. The ther- mometer at times registered thirty degrees below zero, and the 'ween weather gave us huge appetites.

The lake was about a quarter of a utile wide, and most of the surface was glare ice ,with here and there lit- tle patches of snow. The wolf was trotting daintily, Inc it was difficult for him to keep his footing on the smooth ice. "We'll get hint!" exclaimed •Law'n- ey. 1 opened 'the 'broad double win- dow, and we poked the tnuaz'es of. our rilice over the win'do'w sill and started to shoot. The noise of the two guns was deafening..I fired ten shuts, and ,Lawney sixteen. Eachbullet as it struck would throw up 11 shower of ice and snow. One of the 'first of L'awney''s shots struck almost ,undser the wolf, and he was pro'bab'ly ;tit by flying chips of ice. That was undoubtedly the most astonished w0Pf in Minnesota.Id'e rose in the air like a bucking broncho, with all Four feet together as if he had intendeddancing on a dime; ''tis back arched ina 'bow;- his nose and bisraft pointed downward. When his feet touched the ice again he 'started. to run, andwhen it comes to running a scared wolf is distinctly in the pro- fessional class. But ;he could hardly keep his footing on the glare ice, and he was too. ,merch 'ex'cited 'to follow OW patches of snow. 'He did some natty slipping„ stifling and rolling; and once he appeared as only a hail ii Hying fur. All the tine the bullets chipped the ice ahead, behind and on )oth :sides of him.

No. 1, Grey, and pub- lished Dec, 4th, .1896: This fertile 'township dies on the easterly side of the County of Huron. Its area 1 a'I,-tut '6.4,750 acres, the. most of which 1' tinder cultivation.

At this time woke, and bears roved about in the forests and the only human inhabit- ant was the Indian, le was she Htu•- an 'tribe that lived here, anti being un- civilized they did not clear or till the land, They dwelt in tents or wigwams and ,lived by hunting and fishing and generally made tite squaws or 'In- dian women do most of ,tlte hard work. So the land was left uncleared and uncultivated for the white Ivan who carte after the Indian, The „filet settlement by any white pian was over forty-six years ago. :'\ French Canadian named Beauchamp, who set- tled near where the village of J lcn- iryn new stands, was the pioneer of what is now the prosperous cuntnuut- ity comprising nuflteruue thriving vil- lages and scenes of rural ,prosperity,. happiness and plenty, which rresult from property' hireeted efforts in sub- jugating primitive !Nature and 'tumid- 1llg it to the wishes of its ,1WI1er- mam •Beauchamp remained at his fret settlement some tine and then re- moved to lot 8, ctm. 1112, which ie now occupied by airs. Thos. Calder, Ide built his shanty near where the large creek (named Beauchamp, after, him) empties into the beautiful Maitland river, Some time afterwards he erect- ed a saw mill, which was very useful to the settlers, Mr. Beauchamp was located ,there before any other settler came to the township. 'john ''litchetl was the 'text settler. He cause and settled hear the site of the present village of Molesworth. Mr, .Mitchell for ntatiy years afterwards held ,the office of Deputy -Reeve and was one of the leading ,men in ;Grey's °public life. The next settlers were the 'pio- neers of the 'village of Brussels and the land surrounding. Among them were (Peter, 'John and 'Duncan Fer- guson; Robert and Ronald 4IdN'eugh- ton; Wm. Ainley, 'Peter ;McDonald; the IHislop family, including father and a number of grown-up sons; \AThn. Douglas and family of 16ve sons. Thos. Blake, 'James Ford, the Sellers family, 'MdFadzean 'brothers, John Stewart and 'John Blair, 'Most of those carte in Oct: i1SS2. After this the growth was very rapid and at 'pre- sent rt=rey has a population of about 3,5140. As every farm was a bush earu1, the settler had to clear the land before he could sows any seed, The first thing he world do was to make a bee to build 'ills shanty, This shan- ty was made of logs, mod and moss and was vent' rude. When the house w s atp he would go to work to clear the land. The .first piece he would clear would ;be • planted in potatoes. 1'V'hen he gat more cleared he would sow grain. The grain paid .very well then because they got good crops and prices, about twice or :three times as good as we dao now. The inconveni- ences of the early settlers, though pra8aibiy not comparable with those of the older sections of the country, were still so great hilar we of the pre- sent can form no appreciable idea of their real-ities. They had scarcely any When You Have A HORSE or COW YOU WANT REMOVED Phone or write to WILLIAM STONE SONS, LIIMsITED PHONE 22-INGE1dSOLL roads except a blaze' oot pa . fey had no schools, churches nor post - offices, and lied to team or 'carry I nearly all their supplies ifrotn Paris. iSometimes t'r'ey made their ,flo•ur by pounding the wheat in the hollow of a hardwood stump, or by using a entail trill something like a coffee Istill, Although the people had so ,mucic hardship they were very hardy land healthful, We Lind that the great inconvenience was caused 'by the ; want of roads, put tilt. was not over- come until 1807 when the Grand 'Trunk Railway Company built a rail- ' way through the township from Hen- fryn to Brussels, This railway us con - Twitted with all the cities of Ontario. It cos the township :31.33,001. The r. -, ad, are now vetry complete, co com- plete that nearly every road is open- ed. The educational advantages at fir:: were very backward The peo- ple were few and poor, s0 they had to • do without schools. After .some years, however, Leg schools were erected. The teachers salaries were eo small that they could not afford to pay for j their 'board, .o they took earns in go- ing to the houses 'front which child ren were sent to school. They gener- ally managed to get .to the house most frequent where the greatest comfort 'prevailed. -Now we 11 a v e many schools, so many that there is not a ;boy or girl in the townshipwhois not within three miles of a school 1 house where he or she can receive a fair education.
