Morrie is laid out in the shape of a
parallelogram whose dimeoelons
north-east and south-west are neariy
twelve miles, by seven and alien from
eauth-eaet to northwest. On ite two
latter side e it is enclosed between
Prey ana Est Wawanosb, while
•'Turnberry forms its . north-eastern
-boobdary and Hullett and, McKillop
Its eouth-western. The township
originally contained 57,120 acres of
land and water; but it would appear if
the assessor's rolls are correct, that
the Villageof Bruseele and Blyth, and
the two relict:gads which run through
it, have taken off 1,871 acres, as the
number of 'acres reported by that.
°facial as property of iudividuals
amounts toD,5,210.
Its surface is comparatively even,
except near - the river. The south
branch of the Maitland enters at
Blum's, and pursuing au extremely
irregular course, leaves the township
near the uorthern angle, at Winghatu,
having been joined, by the middle
branch, which enters the township at
Bluevale, Along the banks of these
etreams the land is extremely broken
which Is the chief exception to the
general description of a compar-
ative evenese of surface. In fact
both in this respect as well as in regard
to quality of eoil, Morrie very strongly
resembles Grey and Wawanosb,
• Outeide those parts of Morris now
included within the limits of Blyth and
Brussels, the firet settlement in the
township was made at Belgrave, by a
party oonsisting of John McRae, Chris.
topher Corbett, John Brandon and
Robert Armstrong, These were all
originally from County Fermanagh,
Ireland, but had afterwards settled
in West Gwillimbury, Simcoe County
vehence they came to take up their
residence in Morris. They first came
in September, 1851, intending to select
land and built shanties thereon 'before
.retuning; but before making a choice
the season had got so far advanced
that they concluded to defer clearing
and building operations till the next
spring. The lots selected, and where
they subsequently settled, were as
followt:—MoRea, Lot '2, Con, 5:
Corbett, Lot 3, Con, 5; Brandon, Lot 3
Oen. 41 Armstrong, Lot 6 Con. 4. In
pursuit of their intention they retdria"
ed early in the spring of 1852, effected
small clearings on their lot's, and after
erecting shanties and planting potatoea
etc., again returned, coming in to
remain permanently in the fall of 1852,
At the time of theia first coming
there was no settler in the township
except Kenneth McBean and William
McConnell, who had quail clearings
and log shanties where Blyth now
stands,
During the latter part of 1852, how-
ever, a number of eettlera came in to
different sections of the township.
Chao: W. Parker, afterwards the first
Reeve, was the first who followed
them—and in fact his actual settle-
ment dates aheadsof them all, as be
came in, put up a shanty on Lot 10
Con. 0 and remained there during the
time the others were east. Among
the earliest of the others were Joseph
England, William, John and David
Geddes, and Hector McLean, who
settled on the Ord and 4th line; Abra.

Breathing defiance to the propagan-
dists who would keeptur country iu a
state of total unpreparedness if they
could, " The Battle Cry of Peace "has
awakened the nation's conscience.
From a dramatic standpoint it has
never been equalled in the history of
motion pictures, It has been called
the " Uncle Tom's Cabin " of pictures,
"The greatest war drama ever shown,"
"Something new in motion pictures,"
