ton on business. On the way, he met
a neighbors hired man with < te*m,
wagon, some furniture and all we
family except the father. They were
going .as far north as - possible to
escape the Fenians, who were re
ported to have landed at Bayfield.
The hired man was to’ return and>
hide in a hollow tree in the daytime
and feed the stock at night. Green
side hastened home and ordered his
eleven year old hired man to harness
the horses and grease the wagon and
be. ready to drive the family north
and later to look after the stock,
while Matt, would go to fight the foe,
A meeting was held jn the school and
.a deputation sent to Brucefield to
ascertain whether the Fenians had
really come or not, .
It was discovered, that a false
rumour had. spread, so George was
not disappointed in missing * the trip
north.
The next year, he attended' school.
in Seaforth, before a regular school
was bujit. The class nfet . in . an old
store, until after the New Year when
they moved into the first Seaforth
school.
; Holidays were not common in the
sixties, so when the Volunteers had
a chance to take a trip to Windsor
to be paid fifty cents a. day for six
teen day, many county boys seized
_ Jhe opportunity of having a vacation
age, George was accepted as a vol
unteer when hew was fifteen, and en
joyed his first train trip from Goder
ich to Windsor. The following winter
target practice was enjoyed by the
. volunteers. When George won prizes
totalling eight dollars for his marks

An uncle had come to America and
' had done service in the Civil war.
Eighty-one years ago, .G. S. Rpb-:
ertson, pne of .Lucknow’s well-known
citizens, was born in London. Qnt-
arin He was the eldest son of Thom-
,as Robertson apd Isobel Shevas, who
fiafled from Aberdeenshire. They had
spent a short, time in Toronto before
the outbreak of cholera in 1854 when
they moved to London. The Queen’s
Bush was. calling young ^puples who
.were not afraid of hard work and
who wanted to secure homes. So. the
Robertson’s came to Clinton .when
George was., a baby; A farm was
"purchased ohT the London road..near
the old toll gate. Mr. Knox,, a cen-
. tenarian, who died in Whigham a few,
years ago, was the toll keeper;
Near the. Robertson farm lived the
Picketts and the Stevensons. The
children on the three farms .played
together regularly. One day a Pic-
kett child, fell into a well that , had
been improperly covered. Jack Stev
enson promptly reported jthe accident
—-and'the^^dfhe^
° ence of mind, to fasten a clothes Jhie
around Jack’s waist and lower him
into the well in time to rescue the
little lad who had gone down for the
last time. The'young hero was re
warded at Christmas time with a
1 pair of warm mittens from1 the grate
ful mother. The children never play-
- ed too near the well again. Mr. Pic
kett purchased the first “King” stove. uaa uww
—^^ -nejghbors^ilF-^ Word "canie "to ^Clinton tlmr lie ~was
the great invention. They wpre amaz- - - - -
ed at the draft, and George was
. warned not to go too near the open
door for fear he would be drawn into
the stove.
Fortune smiled on the • young cou-
\ pie from Aberdeen. They made a host
of friends; The four children were a
constant souree of pride.. But one day
a terrible tragedy occurred. At a
bam raising in 1861, a main plate
which was warped, slipped and «ame
crashing down, fracturing the skull
of Thomas Robertson. HO never saw
his youngest child. Although there
were no relatives in Canada, the
neighbors did everything possible to
comfort the bereaved; A Mr. McLean
made a coffin. A lumber wagon with,
hay, covered with a...■. white sheet-
served as a hearse. Rev. MacDonald,
the first minister of Clinton officiat
ed. There" were many sorrowing
: hearts in the first funeral piroceSsion
to the Clinton cemetery, when,Thom
as Robertson was laid to rest.
Relatives in Scotland, on hearing
. of the misfortune, offered] to send
money to bring the family home to.
be educated. Mrs. Robertson and the
younger children felt inclined to ac
cept the. offer, but George was deter
mined to. remain in the land of his
birth, so all stayed in Canada;
The young widow was anxious to
keep the family' together, but th£
. crops in ’62 were so\ poor that she
had to see her children, leave her!
Pagans in Ashfield took Tom. the
second boy. A neighbor took the el
der daughter, Catherine^ Hall. and.
. Mrs. Robertson found employment
with a Mr. Aikenhead with permis-
^sion to take the two youngest child
ren with her. George went with John
Robson of Tuckersmith on condition
that he would help with the chores
before and after school, and work the
following summer to pay for his
board. At six years of age, he was
the fire builder every morning and
. fed the cows before and after school,
’ The following winter, George spent
with Mr. Robson’s mother, who.was
a semi-invJalid. She offered to keep
him and send him to school, provid
ing he would bring in wood and water
milk the cow. and scrub the floors on
Saturdays. The shoes used were a
pair of’ high boots, size eleven, that
her son had discarded. The toes wele
stuffed with straw, and when the
children saw the young lad walking
with the boots which were nearly as
large as he, they nicknamed him
“Cockney” a name which persisted
throughout his school days.
When ten years of age, he hired
with Thomas Mason for six months
at four dollars per month; The young
hired man was required: to plough.
piCk stones and help with the harv-
, est. He wag unable to lift the plow
when it fell - down, without turning
the team around. Mr. Mason offered
a dollar prize when , George could
plough, a furrow las straight as he.
The dollar was never paid. Mr. Mas
on had a habit of going to town tn
visit the bar room frequently. One
hot day he left his young man pick
ing stones, while fie wept to quench
his thirst in town. George saw:, the
black axle grease, and the white
face of one of the horses and thought
he would have a more attractive
team with the horsefe fare black in
stead of white. When Mr. .Mason
returned after, having considerable
liquor, he couldn’t understand how
they secured the black faced horse.-
Although earnling the magnificent
sum of four dollars, monthly. * his
mother, still was the custodian of the
family exchequer. When George de-
s tided to go to the Clinton show, he
wa§ given twenty-five cent$ to. pay
the ten cent admission and enjoy tfi^
. day. His mother a^ked him. to bring
home as much as possible. On rea
ching town he saw u ' man watering,
some show cattle. George pumped
some water and was told that if he
would pump ehough water for . al’
the cattle, he could get in frew; Ht
enjoyed his first -fair immensely and
brought home fifteen cents for hi®
toother. After spending .eight cent®
he felt that? hix* wants hair! been al-

' squander one more penny.,,His first

that it would not last. long. He pur

TAME DEER HAS FAWN
Amberley’s deer population has
grown by one. About three week’s
ago a young fawn was born to the
tame deer owned by Mr. Jack Camp
bell, Amberley farmer. For several
seasons this tame deer could often
be seen at Amberley or in the’bush
along the lake, it ramblels at random
but is “as tame ‘ as a cow” and air
ways returns to Mr. Campbell’s barn
where it is as regular a boarder as
the other Jivestock.
The animal had been running with
some Wild deer that inhabit the bush
along the lake, but could not < be in
duced to give, up the comforts of
“city life” with which the young
fawn is now . becoming acquainted
under the protecting roof of- the
Campbell barn to where hundreds
havevbeen flocking to see the young
animal. " w •

In spite of protests from the elder

Surplus To Instal Standards.
The Tara Hydro- Commission are
taking the matter of standard light
ing for the business section of Yonge
Street , into consideration and are in
touch with the Ontario Hydro Com
mission and Street Lighting Compan
ies relative to the cost of same. Last,
week, in view of this step.theCqun-
cil .notified .the Bell Telephone Co.
who had contemplated making im
provements on their system in Tara,
to delay such operations until the lo
cal Hydro. Commission hah decided
on the advisability of installing stan
dard lighting. If the cost does not
exceed $2,000., Tara will in all pro
bability have an improved and up-
to-date * lighting system. The cost
of same would be borne by the local
Commission, the surplus to the cre
dit of the Commission being used to
defray the costs. AH poles Would
be removed from the - street, the wir
ing being all underground. The im
provement to the appearance of the
business street would be well worth
the outlay. ’

(By Rev. R. H. Barnby)
My earliest recollection of Zion I
Church goes back more than sixty-
five years , ago. The church was con-:
structed of hewn logs, shingled roof,
heated by a cast iron stove, and
lighted by tallow candle’s placed . in
tin brackets and fastened to the
walls. There was no oflicial “snuffer.”
but this duty, when necessary, was
performed by the adult sitting near-^
est to the flickering candle.
There were no pews but seats
without backs were constructed of.
pine planks supported at the end
next the wall by “wooden horses”
and. ini the centre and other end by
pine blocks set on end under the
planks. The pulpit was quite artis
tic and reflected the 'skill of some
clever carpenter of the period. I
remember that on one occasion when
an honored and revered pastor, long
since gone to the better land,; was
energetically expounding the word
and at the same time delivering vio
lent blows upon the unoffending pul
pit that with a loud crash it, gave
way and the minister paused to re
mark “Never mind, you are getting
a new church shortly anyhow.”
. ■ Standing out in the memory of the
present writer is an incident in his
life in, the anniversary concert of
the Sabbath school in the year 1869,
when he for the first time appeared
on the platform to repeat his •piece*.
To avoid nervousness he was instruc
ted to fix his eyes on a knot' hole
near the door of the church and to
£0 ahead which he did to the best of
is ability.
In those days the men sat on one
side' of the church afld the women
and children on the other side of the
church. This custom was discontip-
ued after the opening of the hew
churchy, when for the first time the
family pew appeared.
It was a red letter day when the
hew church was dedicated to the ser
vice of God. An organ was borrowed,
from one of the pioneer families and
carried to the gallery of the church.
Where Ja volunteer choir organized
under the leadership of an honored
school teacher. Mr. J. W. Hogarth,
now deceased, led in the service, of
song. The leader objected to playing
the organ and leading the choir at
the samie Gme. A mother in Israel, j
from whose home the organ was j
loaned, settled the matter by re- j
marking. “You can .do both, I am.
sure, for J often have rocked the I
cradle and sang at the same time.”
And so it was,. SO far as I can re
member. , - '
A memorable event in the history
of the congregation was the holding
of a camp meeting on the farm then <
owned by the late Mr. John F. An1-!
drew. The day of the camp meeting j
seems to have passed but the good
results of this one abide in some
lives to the present day..
In such primitive surroundings as
I have described there arose a gen
eration none of whom survive who re
ceived “the word with' meekness,”
and whose godly lives and character
have left an impression for good that
endures to the present day. We who
are no longer young owe a debt of
gratitude to the ministers, sabbath --------------— --------------------- -----
