LETTER FROM DULUTH.
Interesting Account of Revival Meet-
ings Ifeld in Mc1 lUop Years Ago.
As yet no signs of spring except
boys and girls playing marbles •on the
sidewalks, when the weather 'is fav-
orable, On the late afternoon and
evening of March 17, troubled Erin's
great patron saint's. day, the wind
got on the job and kept increasing
until a veritable northwest; gale tore
throughout space . and the mercury
kept tumbling down the tube. At 7
p,m, I went three• blocks to Vote and
returning it was simply fierce to face.
In my mind, I pitied any one caught
on the open prairie in such a storm
but before the midnight hour the gale
calmed down. On Sunday and Mon-
day
on day morning 13 below zero bad been
officially recorded here, since which
tine it moderated.
As stated, March. 17th wasprimary
election day here. Out tor 14 candi-
dates in the race, four were to be
selected to run an April' 3rd, out
of which two are to be Chopen. It is
sincerely hoped by all goad citizens,
and others who have in mind the best
interests and welfare of this city, that
Murnian, commissioner of public
safety, will go down to defeat. He is
backed and suppo_rted andwillhave
the vote of the- worst eiements of
this city, included in which are gamb-
lers, moonshine manufacturers,- boot-
leggers and other lawbreakers of var-
ious criminal types. However, I think
the good citizens of this city, who are
legion, will see to it that Muruian
will be sent back to private life on
April 3rd;
A McKillop School Teacher.
Looking through one of my trunks
recently, I found a prize book of my
late brother, Hector, which he had
won at No. 6 school, McKillop, in
Dec. 1872. On the front leaf was the
signature of John Morrison, teacher,
and dated 21st, Dec., 1872. That is a
long time ago, but the writing has
faded very little. He was a one-arm-
ed teacher and taught our school
from 1869 to '73. He liad lost' his
left arm in a saw mill at, or near,
Walton, Ont., when but a young man,
and before it was entirely healed, the
arm had to be removed up to the
shoulder blades. But his right -arm
was mighty powerful, which some of
us pupils of those days realized -to
our physical discomfort. When writ-
ing, he used a marble weight to hold
down the leaf of the book or copy
hook.
I have seen this teacher pitching in
a hay or harvest field. As the case
might be, he would jab the pitch-
fork into the hay or gram, bring the
handle end to the ground, get a good
leverage purchase, and up would go
hay or sheaf onto the load. He came
of a powerful family physically, and
his brothers and many near relatives
were noted for being powerful men in
their day and time.
At barn raisings in olden tines ort .
McKillop soil in their neighborhoods,
when captans were named and sides
chosen, they would be about the first
to be called, and they surely gave a
mighty good" account of themselves.
A roan named Scott in this city, now
nearing the fourscore and ten years,
informed me, he was a cousin of the
late John C. Morrison. Scott must
have been also a powerful •tnan in Itis
day.
Early Revival Meetings.
I remember well an incident of
early days on McKillop soil, Revival
meetings were being held at the
Methodist Church on the south-west
corner of the Galbraith homestead,,
ninth concession. Rev, Mr. Baugh,
Methodist minister; was in charge.
It was late in the fall; copious rains
had fallen and the clay roads were
in terrible condition. Just a little
west of this church a river ran nut
of the Scarlett .homestead, ran for
some distance on the south side of
this concession west, crossed the road
and again entered the Scarlett hone-
stead, 9th concession, Of course, in
both places it crossed the road, it was
bridged, - There was a sort of open
ditch on the north side of the road
between the two bridges. At this
time for foot passengers' benefit, a
short hewed piece of timber was
placed across this ditch so a person
sould cross over and walk on the
less muddy ground by the side of the -
fence, At this time, John C. Morri-
son with wife and family., if memory
is correct, lived on the Rth con, east
a lttle from the Little Maitland river
or the Big River, as we, chaps called
it in our youthful days. During these
revival • services. the Rev. Mr.
rtangh I lrole with horse and buggy
from near Walton, Ont., and would
leave the sante at the Morrison resi-
dence and together the two would
walk east to the church, a half anile'
Or more.
On this particular evening or night,
in question it was .dark. Rev, Mr.
Baugh was in the lead and stepping
on the afore mentioned timber, it
slipped arid precipitated him into the
muddy yvaters of the ditch. As he
was in no presentable condition to
appear in church; a hasty return was
made to the Morrison home, where
he cleaned up am! 'changed some of
his wearing apparel, and both .return-
ed to church, where revival services
were,held though somewhat delayed.
Some were cruel enough at the time
to suggest this crossing _piece, of'`tim-
ber had been tampered with: as oth-
ers had crossed over itsafely just a
little previously to the minister's in
voluntary mud and water bath.
