But Peter also was a notable man in his day. Physically he was re- markably strong. and he had a taste for athletic sports. In the war of 1812 he commanded a Volunteer rifle company, which took part in the capture of Detroit. For several years he represented the east riding 0'! York in the Assembly of Upper Canada and was afterwards a mem- ber of the Legislative Council. In 1827 he was appointed Commissionâ€" er of Crown Lands, but it was be- fore that, in 1825, that he was con- earned in the great assisted emigra- tion scheme, which led to the be- stowal of his Christian name upon the town and county of Peterboro. vided. for them in a. fashion at once liberal and paternal. Each head of a family received a grant of one hundred acres (this was of course, wild land) and in addition a log house was built for him and he was He was very popular with the impulsive Irish settlers, though, in spife of all the assistance they re- ceived, the newcomers did not es- cape the common troubles of the inâ€" experienced,’ in a strange country. Yet the Government certainly pro- the working at mills, and amongst the settlers of this district were a number of young men of good fam- ‘ily. The Falls and township of Fens- lon were named after a Zealous Sul- pician missionary who labored amv ongst the Indians north of Lake Ontario from 1668 to 1679. He was stepbrother to the more famous Abbe Fenelon. who wrote “Telema- que.” The Canadian abbe engaged in a heated quarrel with Frontenac, was sent as a prisoner to France, and was forbidden to return to Ca- nada. From the beginning of white .‘ct-‘ tlement in Victoria the problems at communication and transportation were, of course, vital questions, and, in 1833 the scheme of the Trent Val- ley Canal, by which the navigable lakes and streams between the Geor- gian Bay and the Bay of Quinta were to be connected with artificial waterways was mooted. Governor Colborne appointed a civil engin- eer named Baird, to make a sur- ivey and estimate the cost of the proposed canal. His estimate was half a million pounds, but he sug- gested that the expense could be cut down by using railway connections in places instead of canals, and re- commended that long steamers should be built, upon which trains of cars might be run. In the early fifties Victoria and Peterboro counties took stock to the extent of £100,000 in the Grand Junction Railway Company, Sbut owing to the amalgamation of this company with the Grand Trunk, which had many irons in the fire, and to the stringency in the money market due to the Crimean war, there was long delay in the con- struction of the promised line. Mean- {while the Port Hope and Peterboro lRailway Company offered to build a ‘iine through Victdrra to the west bonndary of Mariposa, but Peterboro declined to take stock in the scheme. Twenty thousand pounds was sub- scribed in Ops, however, on condi- tion that the line should be built to Lindsay and in 1857 the first loco- motive ran into the town, and even before the line was completely bal- lasted the railway did a good busiâ€" ness. Now all the townships of Vic- toria, except the five most norther- ly, are served by branches of the Grand Trunk Railway. and abranch of the Canadian Pacific Railway runs through Lindsay to the picturesque village of Bobcaygeon. From this settlement over half a centuryl ago a colonization road was opened north- wards, and the lots upon it were very quickly taken up by young farâ€" mersâ€"no less than two hundred coming in in nine months. The town plot of Bobcaygeon was laid out on the mainland, but the indivi- duals who actually founded the vil~ lage preferred to build on the beau- tiful rocky island between Pigeon and Sturgeon Lakes. In Mackenzie’s time the neighbor- hood of Lindsay was .a stronghold of “Reform,” and upon the collapse of the attempt on Toronto in De- cember, 1837. it was imagined that some of the rebel leaders might seek refuge in this district, so it came to pass that a company of loyal Peâ€" terboro militiamen, who had Vainly endeavored to get transportation from Port Hope to the scene of the disturbances, was sent into Victoria. These valiant fellows did their duty with a meal alarming to some inof- fending citizens. For instance, they 3stopped a farmer driving home with a small load of hay, while they 1prodded it with their bayonets, in the belief that Willi-am Lyon Mac- 1kenzie himself might be lying con- ;cealed within. i Lindsay was 1‘ ‘the county town- ;elect” of Victoria before separation from Peterboro was 'efleCted. The itomsite nan enraged in 13; hut The undertaking was begun, and some £90,000 was expended on the Trent and on works at Peterboro, but the troubles of 1837-38 checked the enterprise, and to this day part of the Canal is still under construc- tion. The portion going through Victoria county is, howeVer, in opâ€" 1eration, and the township of Eldon poms a remarkable engineering work in the lift lock at Kisrkfield. Its two chambers, into which the vessels enter, are even larger than those of the lift lock at Peterboro, but the height of the lift at Kirk- field is only 48 feet as against 65 at Peterhoro. A branch of the canal, extending across the town ship of Ops, con- nects Lakes Sturgeon and Scugog, the latter of which was much increas- ed in size by the building of the mill dam at Lindsay. This indeed did so much injury to the farms higher up the Scugog that the courts ordered that the dam should be lowered. The result was that the mill at Lindsay became unworkable, and this was of such great import- ance to the Community that the dam had to be raised again regardless of the drowning of the lands along the ScugOg River.

Ernest Thompson Seton, the author, artist and natur- alist made his first acquaintance with the denizens of the Canadian wilds in the woods about Scugog, near which his English parents made their home in his early childhood. But limitations of time and space alike forbid any attempt to chron- icle the doings at home and abroad of Victoria “Old Boys.” An exciting runaway occurred yes- tenday afternoon near Rosedale when a horse belonging to the Rural Mail Delivery postman, ,Wm. Corbett, who has one o! the northern routes out of Fenelon Falls took fright at an automobile truck and started full speed up the road. Mr. Cox‘be'tt was thrown from the rig almost at the first mighty plunge but happily landed on some soft earth uninjured.

No blame is attached to anyone for the excitement but all were glad when it was over. Hie eight year old sen clung to his seat and stayed with the buggy. until the turn at the Rosedal-e bridge was made when the wild swaying and pitching of the runaway was too much for his strength and he also was pitched out, fikg his father fall- ing on some green turf uninjured. “ My left side pained me all the time and just before my periods which were irregular and painful it would be worse. To sit down caused me pain and suffer- ing and I would be so nervous some- times that I could not bearto see any one or hear any one speak. Little specks would float before my eyes and I was always constipated. ‘ u A ' 10A '5‘ Mr. John Carew's car happened along just behind the runaway and after picking up Mr. Corbett fol-low- ed the horse till it was caught a couple of miles further along. “owing to bad roads, and distance from the seaboard,” its growth was slow, and at the close of its first quarter of a century it had some- what less than two thouSand inhabi- tants. In the next half century howâ€" ever, its population was multiplied by three, and now is a town of be- tween 7,000 and 8,000. It is at its liveliest when the summer season brings its crowds of sportsmen and tourists bound for the beautiful Ka- wartha Lakes. Of these, Sturgeon Cameron and Balsam are within the bounds of Victoria, lying in awild, sparsely inhabited region of granite crags, forest covered hills and clear, limpid streams.

Mr. O'Con- inor said he understood the facts of ’the case to be that some of the employee in the tailor shop asked the boy to come and take the rage away. Mr. Blair came along and asked his price, and, the boy said 1; cents a pound. Mr. Blair told him not to take them unless he was pre- pared to pay 4; cents. The boy had them already bagged, and he threw them out of the window. The rags are still in the bags, and accused will return them. Mr. O'Connor asked that the line he as light as possi- ble.

Magistrate Jackson addressed the accused and told him that, like his father, he was too keen to make moneyâ€"it was a fault of the race. When living in Canada the law must be obeerved. The magistrate said he would impose a. light fine, two dol- lars and costs, making a total of $5.45.
