dlan Pacifica
One of the UMW/ htedrearlge Of
Ontario Is the. beautiful old manor
Isola° now use& in all its rustle dresn•
by the Canadian Pacific Railway at
Guelph. It was built unwarlla of n,
hundred years ago by the late Mr,
John Galt when Commitisloner of the
Canada Company, ono of the pioneer
laud companies of this country. Thin
famous old structure is soon to be
abandoned, it appears, for more m
dem and commodious quarters, but
steps are being taken to preserVe the,
present historic spot as an interesting
link between the past and the preeent-
It is one of the oldest houses in this
part of Canada, still lids the old 7 x 9
windows, its log arches, and other
adornments, of the early nineteenth
century. Mr. Galt, who left more than
one of these footprints on the sands
of Time, was father at Sir Thoinite
Galt, late Chief Justice of Common
Pleas, and also of Sir A. T. Galt, One
time Finance Minister of Canada.
The late Mr. Galt was the happy Pea^
sessor of much Scotch humor, and left
a legacy of writings of much merit,
notably. "The Annals of the Parish,"
Mr. Galt, in his autobiography, gives
a graphic story of his joys and sorrows
in the prosecution of his arduous du-
ties of Commissioner. Arriving in
Upper Canada in 1827 he began hie
work of colonization, and obtaining
information respecting the country.
Having received permission to attempt
a settlement he directed an inspection
of a block or tract of upwards of fifty
thousand acres of the Company's pur-
chase for the purpose of finding within
it an eligible situation for a town. AU
reports agreed in recommending the
spot where Guelph now stands. As it
was too early in the year to undertake
field operations, he decided to wait a
few weeks:and gave orders that opera-
tions should commence on St. George's
Day, April 23rd, 1827, and appointed a
national holiday for the ceremony.
"In the meantime," writes Mr. Galt,
"as I imagined it would not be diffi-
cult to persuade the directors to erect
a central office for the Company there,
and as a tavern and hotel were indis-
pensable. I set about procuring plans."
Mr. Galt was the architect, and, as he
believed "the style of a building should
always indicate and be appropriate to
its purpose," on every corner of the
building he placed rows of glasses,
bottles, punch -bowls and wine decan-
ters. "Such an exhibition," he says,
"as did not require a man to be a god
to tell it was an inn." On April 22nd
he went to Galt, "a town named after
me long before the Canada Company
was imagined." The next morning, in
company with Dr. Dunlap, whom he
met at Hon. Wm. Dixon's, they walked
towards the site (Guelph), some eigh-
teen miles away, half of which was
through forest. They lost their way
and wandered alone like "babes in the
woods," until they discovered a hut
inhabited by a Dutch shoemaker, who
directed them to the outskirts of the
forest. Next they came to the cabin
of a squatter, who informed them that
all the men had gone forward. About
sunteet, dripping wet, they arrived near
the spot they were in quest of, and
found the men, under Mr. Prior, whom
he had employed, kindling a roaring
fire. After drying out, Mr. Galt pro-
posed that they go to the spot chosen
for the town. "By this time," writes
Mr. Galt, "the sun was set, and Dr.
Dunlop, with his characteristic drol-
lery, having doffed his wet garb and
dressed himself, Indian fashion, in
blankets, we proceeded, with Mr.
Prior, attended by two woodmen with
their axes.
"It was consistent with my plan to
invest our ceremony with a little mys-
tery, the better to make it remem-
bered. So, intimating that the main
body of the men were not to come, we
walked to the brow of the neighboring
rising ground, and Mr. Prior having
shown the site selected for the town, a
large maple tree was chosen, on
which, taking an axe from one of the
oodmen, I struck the first stroke.
To me, at least, the moment was im-
pressive, and the silence of the woods,
that echoed to the sound, was as the
sigh of the solemn genius of the wilder-
ness departing forever.
"I do not suppose that the sublimity
of the occasion was unfelt by the
others, for I noticed that after the tree
fell there was a funereal pause as when
the coffin is lowered into the grave. It
was, however, of short duration, for
the doctor pulled a flask of whiskey
from his bosom, and we drank pros-
perity to the City of Guelph."
The first emigrants were from La
Guayra in South America, 57 in num-
ber, and on August 12th, the King's
birthday, Mr. Galt invited a number of
friends and gave a public dinner in
the market house to the inhabitants.
Subsequently Mr. Galt removed his
family to Guelph, being induced to
repair, for a residence, the receiving
house which Mr. Prior bad erected for
settlers, as it was much better than
such sort of buildings usually are. He
had hoped that ultimately the house
would make a good residence for Mr.
Weld, of Lulworth Castle, latterly
Cardinal Weld, whom he desired to
allure to Guelph. Here is Mr. Galt'S
description of the residence which, as
stated before, is now used as a C.P.R.
station:
"Having in some sort a kind of
taste in architecture, it seemed to me
that the house cduld be made into a
comfortable ecclesiastical abode, and,
accordingly, although it was only ten
feet high in the ceiling, I employed my
best skill in laying it out. The, reader
will please to recollect that it was but
a cottage of one story and formed of
trunks of trees. As I have said, how-
ever, before, it was of its kind very
beautifully constructed by Mr. Prior,
Externally, I only added a rustic poi%
tico to it of trees with the bark, but
illustrative of the origin of the Ionia
order. it did not cost five pounds.
The interior was planned for effect,
and on entering was imposing, but the
hall and two principal rooms were only
twenty feet some inches square."
UNFIT FOR FOOD
Frozen eggs, preserved with'farmal-
dehyde, which were seized by Govern-
ment inspectors in New York as unfit
for human food, were declared in the
courts to contain 8,400,000 germs Ng
teaspoonful.
