Strangely enougt though we have been down th-ci way a number of times, we hac neyer seen the famous aid Ha, Bay Church before. We were there a week af tei the annual service wvas heic and the building was closed, sc vie did flot see the interior This was the first Methodisi church in Upper Canada, buill in 1792. It was taken over som< years ago by the United Churci of Canadla and restored, bein'- open ta. visitors in July anc .August. On the last Sunday ir August each year a service is held in the aid church ta com- mnemorate the pioneer foundi ers, and in memory of the ter people who lost their lives while crossing the bay oA Aug- ust 29, 1819, on their way tc church. There were 18 in the boat, but eight were saved. Across from' the church we xoticed a few gravestones and found that they bore the name Huff. At the time this did not convey anything ta us. It was apparentiy a family burying ground; one secs such plots fre- q uently in Prince Edward County. Settiement there by the U. E. Loyalists dates from 1784, and prior ta the estab- lishment of churches with an acjoining burying ground, those Who died were burîed on the family property. On looking up the Huff namne Jn "Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte" when we returned home. we found that the land on which the Hay Bay Church is bujit belonged ta a U. E. L-.

He servcd in th( '-British forces in the Revaluý gtionary War and was grantec n- 200 acres of land situated ar s Hay Bay. He was a pioneei s supporter of the Methodisl h, Churcb in Upper Canad .Th-, t first Methodist class ?rn th< ýd -province was formed in his ty bouse in 1791 by William Las- see, and tbe first churçh was î, Further along this road, ýo which follows the blue waters rof the lovely bay, are two or ;t three more littie family bury.- Lt ing grounds, some of them stili eused, judging by the recent [grave stones. Ail old cerneter- c ies are fillcd with stories for Ithuse who cen read and bave imagination. Many of themn are s sad stories. So many littie chil- Sdren lie there, and young peo- Spie in their twenties and thir- 1ties. On the other hand, if the spioneers got through these ycars, they oftcn ived ta be 80 or 90. No doubt they built up an immunity ta the diseases ta which they were exposed and for which, in those days, Jthere was no remedy. Some Lie Here Tbough there are family plots in tbe Hey' Bay district, there was quite an early pub- lic burying ground, now known as the U. E. Loyalist Cemetcry, nat far fnom the Hay Bay Church. We do flot know its bistony, whetber it embraced ail faitbs, but David Banker who was reaily an Anglican but followed Quaker customis and attended Quaker meetings, is buried there. His xife, Lydia Shove, died before him, in 1804, and is also buried there. They came with Major Van Aistines party in 1784. Miss Filona Bar- ker of Bloomfield, who chris- tened the new ferry boat, "The Quinte Loyalist", last year, is a descendant. There are now two boats piying betwcen Glenora and Adolpbustown. Returning ta the U.E.L. Ccii- ctery, it is necorded on the ga'te that the first burial there was in 1799. The grass is long and the place rather neglccted, but in' infinitcly better shape than the U.E.L. cemetery at Adol- phustown. A mavement is now an foot ta restore it and make it a memorial ta the founders of the settiement in that area. MAD AT A HATTER Did you ever wonder abo the expression, "mad as a ho ter" or why the Mad Hatter "Alice in Wonderland" w called that? Such expressia arc often a part of aur vocabi lary since cbildhood and v accept themn without wonde ing why or wbence they cani We came acnoss the expian: tion of "mad as a hbitter" ' an article in The New York( on the subject of occupationý diseases.
