The township of Glenelg lies some- what central in the County, having Holland on the north, Artemesia on the east, Egremont on the south, and Bentinck on the west. It was settled about the same time as the central and southern townships of Grey. viz.: about the year 1850, and received an unusual proportion of immigrants from Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. The names of residents will show this fact. At elections, the Returning oflcers have olten to invent distinctive appellations tor several persons of the same name who come forward to vote. In popu- lstion. Ulenelg stood third in the County at the census of 1861, being set down at 3,065. The first settle- ments were on the several roads touching or running through the township. on which "free grants” were made made by the Government. The reader is referred to " Durham,” " Garalraxs ” and " Toronto ” Roads {or lurther information regarding them. Glenelg was surveyed by John Stoughton Dennis, Esq., P. L. 8., in 1850. The land is generally rolling. Many of the farms are yet far from being cleared up. The western part of the township, along the Garairaxa Road. is pretty stony -â€"an almost universal feature on this roadâ€"but not so much so elsewhere in the township. The survey of the township. on account 'of the three roads above named, shows no fewer than four “first.” "second” and “ third ” concessions; so that in the list which follows. we have been obliged to keep these four systems distinct to avoid the multiplication; of initial letters to distinguish the different surveys-a thing very puzz- ling to a person consulting the work to find some one’s locality.

Kidney Old 8m There never has been a remedy intro duced to the people of this country which has g1'ven such uni- form satisfaction as Dr. Pitcher’s Back- ache Kidney Tablets. The reason is plain.

An island about 2 m. in length from N. to S., lying 2 m. N. of Cape Commodore. the N. E. point of the township of Keppel, and somewhat in front of the entrance to Colpoy’s Bay. It is Indian territory, the title never having been acquired by the Government. No Indians, however, reside on it, except occasionally in the summer. About-seven years ago the Government built a very excel- lent lighthouse on the eaStern front of the island. the blocks for which (white "Solomite”), were obtained from the clifi west of Owen Sound town. The land on the island is elevated and well COVered with tim- ber. Some swamps are said to exist on the table-land; but the island is little visited, and only about the shores. The Indians have a tradition that all the three islands were once connected with each other and with Cape Croker peninsula. We can say nothing as to the trnth of this hypo- thesis; lor the old Indians, whose boyhood learned it from their grand- fathers, can give us nothing more than the assertion of the doubtful fact. The water is. however, by no means deep between the islands; and when we remember what has been done in our own day at Long Point and Toronto-islands being made where formerly there were none, it is not impossible that a century or two ago it may have been the case. onwrm’s CORNERS.
