An Ancient Bell.—The days of the oxen, the ox yoke, ox bows and ox bells of the pioneer days, have long since passed, and we who were chil- dren then can remember the sight of ten or twelve yoke of oxen and a driver and about four stalwart men as rollers after every yoke of oxen. The fallow was staked off in strips or in those days were called "throughs" and a yoke of oxen and four men went on every through, and there was generally a race to see who would finish first. And there was al- ways a "grog boss" who dispensed liquid refreshment to the men who were logging, and it was an inspiring sight to see how those men and oxen logged up those fellows which were soon to become fertile fields to support the pioneers, their children and chil- dreres children, nearly all of whom raised large families, paid for their farms, cleared them and kept out of debt. At noon work stopped and all repaired to the house, where the wo- men of the neighborhood always help- ed the hostess to prepare and serve dinner, and such dinners I have never seen 'anything 'to equal them, that the pioneer women prepared for the log - • • ging bees and barn raisings of thid township for either quality or queue tity. When the oxen were not work ing, they were often turned out tca the woods to feed and where trees had been cut down they wpuld feed on the brewse. Ansi it became neces- sary to have an ex -bell on one of the oxen to know where they were graze ing, and every one knew the sound of his own bell and also most of his neighbors. My father when he set- tled in this township nearly eighty years ago, bought a yoke of oxen from the late Robert Paterson, and my mother bought an ox -bell for them from the: late James Horton, who was then clerking as a boy for the late James Ross in the village of Rodger. ville. This bell was used first as an ox -bell and then as a cow bell for many years. The late James Stewart cut my father's name on it in splendid letters, so that should it come off the finder would return it. These letters are still as plain and legible as ever. About forty years ago this bell was taken to Algoma and was used as a cow bell among the hills and valleys of that district, until my sister sent it to me by parcel post a short tinier ago, and it is now back to where it was first used.—W. M. Doig.
