FOURTH ARTICLE Continued from lost week. Some Minor Incidents . Little incidents fresh in my mind crop tip as I think over the former days. Frank Finn had a dog of which be was very fond. The animal died and Frank buried it on the roadside in front of their farm. He made a grave as near like a human being's as possible, and put up a nice head board with the dog's name, date of death, etc., and the following lines: It e're was. so from childhood's earliest hour, I sàw my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower, But 'twas the first to fade away. Some called his actions a joke, many said it was ridiculous, scandalous, sacrilegious, sacrilegious, etc. People, however, drove miles to see the grave, and the county far and near was agitated over the trifling event. Frank had a half-brother by the name of Nat, as he was always called. He was à wandering Jew, seldom in the neighborhood neighborhood and only a few days at a time. One day Austin Chapman and the writer were at the old schoolhouse alone after school was dismissed when we saw Nat Finn coming. Wè waitèd till we thought he was a safe distance past when we shouted "Old Nat Finn", "Old Nat Fiunn". To our horror he turned back and we fled to the schoolhouse for safety and hid under the benches but he soon found us and we were terror-stricken. He however, only lashed us with his tongue. We got a good fright which we never forgot and learned a valuable lesson. Revival meetings were being held, or protracted meetings as we called them, in the schoolhouse. One day bv some means a panel of the door got knocked out. While meeting was going on that night old Jack Fox on his way home from Enniskillen with a heavy cargo of tangle leg on board, stuck his head through the panekofthe door and shouted "Who's here?" Great commotion was caused; women nearly fainted and the meeting was nearly broken up. By the way, Jack Fox, or Old Fox as he was called, was the only person in the whole section who ever got the worse of liquor. I hope the people have remained as free till to-day. Coon hunting was a great sport for boys and young men every Fall. The coons were not always found, but the green corn never-failed us and a big corn roast always always ended the hunt and everybody voted the "coon hunt" a big success even when there were no coon skins to show as the result ol the hunt. Orchards were young and apples a treat in those days. Uncle Joe Thomas had the most attractive field for operation and ever and anon the old man, who was always always eccentric, was unusually so when he discovered that his orchard had been raided during the night. He would get the measure of the tracks where they were to be found and go from neighbor to neigbhpr where there were any young men «id try to measure the boots of the boys. 1 ; He could never find out the guilty ones. The writer was too young to be in such games, but he thought there were boys in the home who could give a good guess who some of the parties were. Uncle Joe had the same or similar trouble at sugar-making time, for . once a year at least the lads of the neighborhood would meet and repair to some bush and boil sap and "sugar off." Uncle Joe was more frequently the victim than others for two reasons--his boiling place was more secluded than others and the fire not so easily seen; then again, there was always always fun when Uncle Joe got on the rampage rampage after the boys. How memory carries carries me back to these good old days, and I seem to see the lads again and hear their merry shouts of laughter and join in their games and pleasures once more. Some ten years ago with my eldest living half-brother, Selah M. Williamson, now 87 years of age, tho hale and hearty, living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I visited again the place of my birth and my childhood childhood days till I was 14 years of age. We intended to sleep in the old home at night. We went all over the neighborhood to find traces of the old families and found only three--Mr. John Hall on our old farm, son of the man who bought it; Marion, Marion, Mrs. F. Griffin, daughter of Wm. Potter, living on the Chapman farm; Jesse W. Williams, Jr., on the Ranton farm, who has since moved, to Oshawa.. Then to the old homestead; the sideline had been moved a few rods west and the old house stood farther back than when we left it. The sugar bush was gone--cut down; the old ponds were dry; the old creek was only half the original size; the gamey speckled beauties had given place to the innocent chub. The . buildings were changed--some new, some newly painted. Some hadn't seen paint for years. The old neighbors were all gone, most of them to their long home. Such a feeling of loneliness came over me I I felt I could not linger on the lonely lonely scene so, having been royally entertained entertained by Mr. and Mrs. John Hall in the old home whëre I had spent my boyhood and so many happy days, I said to my brother "We will go back to Brooklm and stay in the old home there - with Mrs. Hall and her daughters", which we did. In writing the above I have been reliving reliving my boyhood days. -How the faces and even the voices of the dear old people of years ago have come to me 1 -1 shall see them again and hear their voices in the "sweet bye and bye." Most of them were true Christians and are no doubt in the mansions above.' If the readers of The Statesman have enjoved reading these memories half as much as I have in writing them I am amply repaid. (Concluded on Page 2.)
