"Smith's Canadian Gazetteer" edited by W. * _ A township in the Home District; is bounded on the east by 'the township of Cartwright, and a small portion of Mariposa, on ¢ Brock; on the west by Scott and Uxbridge, and on the south by Whitby. In Reach 24,152 acres are taken up, 4,678 of which are under cultivation. The South-western extremity of Scugog Lake projects into the east of the township.

Five hundred acres of Crown lands are open for sale in Reach, at 8s. c'y per acre. A village, called "Prince Albert" is situated in the township, on the road leading from Windsor Bay to Skugog, and there are also five saw mills in the township.

' WINDSOR HARBOUR A village and shipping place in the township of Whitby, situ- ated on Lake Ontario, about thirty-two miles from Toronto. An excellent harbour has been formed here, by constructing a break- water and building two piers; within the breakwater is enclosed a basin of about 120 acres in extent, which when completed will have a depth of ten feet. The width of the channel, at its en- trance, between the piers is two hundred and fifty feet; and there is a light-house on the west pier. Up to July 1st, 1844, £15,355 was expended on this harbour.

A small settlement, about half a mile to the east of the village, called East Windsor, is now in- cluded in the limits of Whitby. The population, including East Windsor and the Port, is said to be about eleven hundred. Between Whitby and the Port, a mile and a half in distance, the land is level, and the soil composed of rich loam. The harbour is capacious, but its borders are bounded by a considerable quan- tity of marsh, through which a small stream enters the bay. A number of houses have been erected here; but the principal business transacted is in storing and forwarding goods and pro- duce, for which purpose there are large ware-houses, and others are in course of erection. There is also a brewery, and an Episco- pal church built of stone.

It is pleasantly situated, and will probably in time become a thriving little town: it has been settled about eight years, and contains two tanneries and three asheries, and a Post Office. There is no church at present in the village, but one is now building by the Methodists. _ About one mile from Prince Albert, on the plank road from Whitby to Scugog, (which here crosses the Simcoe Street, about distance north from Prince Albert), is the small settlement called Borelia, which contains.about one hundred inhabitants; and from thence to Scugog village (or Port Perry, as it has been recently named) is about half a mile. The village contains about one hundred and fifty inhabitants, and two steam sawmills. Lake Scugog, on the larger portion of it, as it at present exists, has been artificially made; the formation of the dam at Lindsay, many years ago, raised the water and forced it bagel: over the land, thus flooding a large extent of country, From ti cause the lake has not yet been properly delineated on any map; all maps, hitherto published, having been copies from the original plans of surveyors. At the time these townships were surveyed, the whole of what now constitutes the southern portion of Lake Scugog was dry land. The back country being but thinly settled, it was sometime before the mischief was discovered, when legal proceedings were instituted by the owners of the y, and the dam was ordered to be lowered two feet. This ad the rise of water to some extent, but the mill was required to supply the necessities of the country, and without the dam the was useless, The proprietors of the land, put up with the loss.
