He apparently settled on the Bayfield road near Goderieb, and took an active part in the life of the com- munity. ommunity.

ADMISSION — 35c day, December 28, and ran through until Nevember 23, 1844. Most of the entries were 'brief, and they tell that 1140 was doing on hili farm, , the condition of the erooa. and the weather. But there are occasional remarks which throw historical light on the, times. The Bret entry in December, 1840, sim- ply imply reports that the weather was fine and .•Prouty. He writes, "Chop- ping, 'splitting and piling up par- lor wood in the bush" On `January 2 be went to Gode- rich to arrange for a public ball. He writes: "Remained in town all day making , arrangements for a public ball on the 14th inst. Walk- ed hone after six o'clock." Ten days Pater, iTanuary 12, he writes: "Went into town and began work on the ballroom which was nearly finished by midnight. Mr. Griffin helped me." The next day he adds: "Finished the ballroom and fitted up the supper room, small parlor and stair cane, etc" He does not say where the ball was held, but presumably it was in one of the Goderich hotels. On the day of the ball, January 14, there . is the entry: "Finished all the preparations by 4 p.m. The band arrived at 2 o'clock The ball began at 10 p.m. and broke up at 5:30 o'clock." Presumably Mr. Brown never went to beds and gaily marched witli the band next morn- ing. orning. He writes: "Went four miles south of the town with the band playing all the way. Taking down and packing up the decorations of the room" He does not say where the band came from, but one would hardly think there would be a band nearer than London. Then on January 16 he writes: "Finish- ed the taking down and packing of all the flags and curtains, etc 'Re ceived the proceeds of a bill of exchange, £ 121." In March of that year there was an election in which the opposing candidates were Capt Strachan, a son of the famous Bishop Strachan and an official of the Canada Land Company, and Dr. William Dunlop. Apparently Mr. Brown was a sup- porter of Capt. Strachan. It is a pity that there are not more vol- uminous entries on this election which was bitterly contested. The militia were even sent for from London to maintain order. The farmers of Colborne Township were largely supporters of Dr. Dunlop, whose home was in that township. The election ran four days. In his remarks on March 12 he writes: "The election is tak- ing up much time, Capt. Strachan and friends called on Thursday." On March 22, the first polling day, he writes: "In town all day at the elections. All went on quiet- ly but the . cowardly Colbornites sent off for troops. •State of the polls at 4 p.m.: Mr. Dunlop 56, Strachan 51. Backdoor majority for Dunlop, five." The next day, March 23, he has this entry: "Rode down the Bay- field road for votes. Got into town at 12 o'clock; 35 soldiers came up this morning, State of the poll at 4 p.m.: Dunlop 101; Strachan, 132. Majority 21." The next day, March 24, he writes: "Not very well, Rode into .town. Called on Mr. Jones. Rode home before dark, bought a lock for the tool house. State of the poll at 4 p.m.: Dunlop 110; Strachan 152. Majority 42." The next day he apparently spent. working on his farm chop- ping cordwood. But on March 26 he has this entry: "Capt.

At the close of the polls Dunlop 149; Strachan 159." He makes no note of it, but later Capt. Strachan was unseated as a result of a protest and Capt. Dunlop was seated as member. Mr. Brown liked his drink and on several occasions over the years be tells of bringing back from God- erich a barrel of whisky. He was interested in the formation •of the first Agricultural Society in Gode- rich. On February 14, 1842, he has an entry: "Rode into town for the purpose of forming an Agricul- tural • Society and succeeded well. Formed an Agricultural Society with eighteen directors, treasurer, secretary, four vice-presidents, president and patron." Ile was ac- tive obtaining members and there are many entries in regard to meet- ings of the directors. The first exhibition was held on October I.S. 1842. He says the show was "mid- dling and the turnout rather shah - On January 2 of 1843 he has a brief entry: "In London. Fnished niy purchase today." Then on Jan- uary 3 there is a note: "ln Lon- don, went to the theatre." As the Theatre Royal in London is known to have opened early in January, 1843, be may have attended tha premiere. He started home ha next day and did not reaoh them until January 6 with a heavy load' on his sleigh. On January 16, 1844, he reports a meeting of the agricultural direc- tors when it was decided to pur- chase a Durham bulla At the end of the monthhe went to Guelph, stopping on the way at Berlin, now Kitchener, and bought a bull. He Gid not get back until February 13 and the following day there was held the annual meeting of the Society. Apparently in 1844 he got into a lawsuit with a neighbor named Mr. Riach, although he does not say what the suit was over. in August of that year he reports: "Remain - cd in town all day on law business about that dirty rascal Riach. Din- ed with Mrs. Longworthand, slept at Hamilton's." The trial did not come off until October. Under date of October 5 he writes: "Into town today to attetid the trial be' tween myself and the rogue, Riach, but it did not come off." The next day he writes in his diary: "Into town at the trial which did not go as Riach expected for I won most triumphantly." Two days later he must have celebrated his success with the judge. He writes: "Went up in the evening to dine with Mr. Jones and the judge." October_ 11 there was again held the agricultural show and he re- ports that be won the first and second prize for the best bushel of oats and also the grand prize for the butter. The Last entry is No- vember 23 when he states that he • went to town with a parcel for Mrs. Hamilton, Aside from cheese, rats also en- joy doughnuts, apples, sweet pota- toes and peanut butter. TUCKERSMITH The many friends of 'Mr. William Irvine will regret to learn that he suffered a stroke while visiting his daughter, Mrs. A. White, in Kings- ville. He is now resting in Leam- ington Hospital. "Okay, lady, lemme see your lic- ense," said the traffie cop after she had successively banged into the car ahead, backed up into a pedestrian and then wrapped a fender around a hydrant. "License!" she puffed wrathfully. "Don't be silly. Who'd give me a. license?" Piano and Vocal Classes ENROLL NOW !
