When the danada Company or their
contractors fir t commenced to cut
out the Londo Road, they put up a
shanty foe the workmen on Lot 26. In
this the :first sermon was preached
in Tueleersmit, by a Methodist minis-
ter, a mission ry, named Whitehead.
His congrega on consisted of three
persons—Neil Ross, and Angus and
James Camp ell; Mr_ Whitehead's
name describ d him, he being then
very old. He as also a very tall man
and the Shan -roof being pretty low,
he was oblige to stoop considerably
when standing to deliver his discourse,
after which h remained all night with
his "audience. ' This - was long, before
the day of ch rches, the first of which
was built on Lot 23, L.R.S. It stood
several years without being finished= -
services in the meantime being held
in it during the summer teason—when
it was finaly taken down and removed
to Brucefield. Among the earliest
preachers to old services there were
Mr. McKenziewho settled at a• very
early date in Stanley, Mr. Skinner and
Mr. Broadfoet, from London, and Mr.
Meltidda from Goa:erica.

Clerk and Treasurer, Wm. McConnell; came through the our
Assessor, John Young; Collector, S. about three o'clock S
Carnochan; auditors, Wm. IteMillan,

in the limits of Tuckersmith are
Egmondville and Harpurhey, both
of which have been at some length
referred to in connection with. the
sketch of Seaforth; and there is noth-
ing more to add except that the latter
was founded and named by Dr. Chalk,
the first District Councillor and first
Reeve of Tuckersmith; and the lat-
ter was founded and .named by Con-
stance VanEgmond, eldest son of the
Colonel, and is still for the most part
under the control, one way or other, of
the Van Egmond family.
And now, although we have not done
half justice to the history of this
splendid township, we haie already
extended the space beyond its propos-
ed limit, .and are constrained thus to
leave it, with the single remark that
of the many magnificent rural munici-
palities which go to make up the
great County of Huron, Tuckersnith,
if not ] actually the foremost, as is
largely claimed, is at all events entit-
led to the legend upon its' banner,
"Nulli Seeundus."

from the largest and most

. Dear People.—Landed safe arid
sound after our trip across the "frog -

they said we could not send .any let-
ters or wires anti after four days,
so as the mail is going out I thought I
had better let you know we are 0 Id.
No doubt they had the report at home
that we were sent to the bottom of the
ocean but nere we are safe and sound.
Just wrote to Charlie today and will
most likely see him before lone They
