About that time we ran over the post uflice list, and found there were 1600 post ofiices in Canada;and of these 130 ended in tille; a class of names we took occasion to say, that seemed alarmingly on the increase. At the close oi ”64, there were within a dozen of twenty-one hundred post ofiices. and only one hundred and ten villas among them ; an actual diminu- tion of the number, which no one will regret.

Osprey occupies the lichen of the elevated plateau be- .ween Georgian Bay and Lakes Erie Lad Ontario, and sends waters to horgun Bay both by the Beaver and Iottnwuagn Rivers. and to Lake Huron by the Snugeen.

Osprey, though an inland township, 5 is well situated for markets. Its, f nearest corner comes within about' iseven miles of Collingwood Harbour. ;Collingwood is, and always has been, the chief market town for Osprey ; as, before Collingwood town was in existence, Osprey contained but a very few settlers. 'l'he " Durham - and Collingwood ” Gravel Road runs I directly across the township, as near- ! ly as possible in the centre, and gives the township; some of them magnifi- cent tountain heads; making pools that never freeze. many yards across, with hard bottoms of marly lime- stone, and forming mill streams at once. Thus at Feversham. the Beaver is quite ariver-like stream, though only three or four miles from its highest source. The air is of the purest and most exhilarating charac- ter; and the general'health of the township always most excellent. Is it too much to look lorward a gener,. ation, and see in l‘ancy water-cures and Hygienic retreats established on this airy upland, beside some of these pure head-springs? a good access toward market in either direction. Feversham, Maxwell and Singhampton, also ofler home mar- kets for merchantable produce. Artemesia and Osprey were sur- vey ed by Chas. Rankin, 13qu P. L; 8., in 1849 and '50. Afew settlers had come into the eastern part of Osprey, next Nottawasaga. before the lands were in market; but it was in 1855) and the two lollowing years that the bulk of the lands were “tak- en up.” It was chiefly settled with people from the counties ot York and Peel; peOpIe who had some experi- ence of Lanadian life, and calculated to " push.” 'l'heil‘ industry and perseverance would seem to deserve better success than has attended their efforts for two or three )eais past. Perhaps if {all “heat, 6Lc..‘ supersede the precarious spring,1 ‘wheat, so liable to injury from the frosts, a brighter day may he dawn- ing upon them. 'lhe south-eastern part of the township is OCCUpled by Highlanders, mostly from the ”Islands.” 'llie second generation will make excellent settlers; but the original immigrants (and the same remark applies to the majority of the Irish immigrants in the county), have so little idea of lite in the bush, and are so apt to sit down contented wrth any condition that is somewhat bet- ter than they had at " home.” that. they do nOt " go ahead,” as do settlers reared in the country. Osprey. as well as some others of the eastetn townships. was originally attached to the County of Simcoe. and then to the County of Welling- ton; and handed over to (irey. upon the latter being erected into a. separ- ate county. In consequence, the. mllnlClpultly has been. for several years, paying instalments of the old county debts of both these counties. and though nearly through with such payments, is not yet quite clear. The original “ Durham Road ” crosses the township from east to west about two miles from its south border. 'l‘hree concessions parallel with that road are laid off on each side. in éo-acre lots, and originally gtanted to actual settlers, free. It is a line tract of land. The southern- mom of the three lines of road eslieciall), called the " South line of Ospiey ," piesuits a series of beauu- lul faiths; the land lying very hand- somely, aim being of the richest soil. On this line (lot 65), 3id con. S. Durham Road), about two miles from the tounline of Nottauasaga, is the highest land in the western peninsu- la. actually measured. The late David Gibson, Esq., P.

In gixing a r_.apid ketch of tlge town of Onen Sound, the County town of Grey, it is not necessary to go very far back into the past; for the “ oldest inhabitant ” has not yet, by Virtue of his residence, heroine very venerable. The: place dates from the year 1840. In that 3ear, John 'l‘eller, Esq.. formerly of Dum- fries township, was appointed. under Lord Sydenham, when Governor General. agent for the locality. and arrived via St. Vincent. in a butteau. early in the fall. A small portion of the town plot had been surveyed in 1837 by Charles Rankin. Eeq , P. L. 8.. as well as the original line. of the Garafraxa Road, leading south to the settlements of the Wellington Dis- trict. Mr. Rankin and his party were again ordered to Owen Sound in 1840. They landed at the river edgn, at the foot of Union Street. under the overhanging cedars that almost hid the sky, coming from Penetanguishene in hatteanx. Mr. Teller got up the “ body ” of his first loa house while they were there They laid out a portion of the valle\ into half acre lots. and went 05' again on the lltli November. At that time the site ol’ the town had a very for- bidding aspect. Tangled cedar. hem- lock and balsam cowred the whole fl'Lt The ru er was choked up with decaying logs.

Lllv As-5v enson would send over letters and pa- pers as he found opportunity, to Mr. Teller; and kept a “ petty account. ” with him. W hen the place seemed to need a post office, the present postmaster, George Brown, Esq , was appointed, For some years the mail route was from Barrie, via St. Vin- cent. In 1844, Bishop Strachan visited “Sydenham,” coming; rbuud on the steamer “Gore.” Capt. James Dick. In 18:31, Lord E!gm visited the place, arriving in the Government steamer “ Mohawk,” and remaining a couple of days. 11118-18 the first Division Court Was held. Judge Powell, of Wellington, presiding. In 1851. W. A. Stephens was appointed collector. R. Carney, Esq, had previously held the office; but, on being trans. ferred to another port, he resigned. 1n the same year the ‘° Comet” news. paper was established. In the {all of 18:33, the ” Lever” and ”Times” were started; the latter being still pubhshed. The (-ourt house and gaoi were built in 165:3. The first qu’mtvr ses- sions for the county xx ere held in the. spring of 18.34. The late I“. 'l‘. VVilktes was the ('iI'S! County Judge. In 18:36, the population of the town WM: found to be 1,965). A special Act of Incorporation as a town. under the name of Owen Sound, was applied for. and passed; and the firsc Plection of vouncillors took place in January. 1857. Righard Carney. 13514., was the that mayor. _ The pOpulation of the town is now 2.400. Owen Sound is situated at the head of tire Sound of that name. an arm of Georgian Bay. and at the mouth of the Sydenham River, which runs through the town. The valley in which the town is situated, opening out upon the waters of the Sound. is about half a mile wide and a mile and a half long; skirted with hills on each side about 100 feet high. Above the hills is a beautiful upland. which in process of time will be a favorite spot for private residences. a few or which already make their appearance. The town occupies a considerable space of ground. and is not vet very closely built. Poulett street is the principal business street, and con- tains some substantial stone and 'brick buildings. The river has been improved in its navigation. and ad- mits vessels drawing seven to ten feet, of water. up to the swing bridge. near the centre of the town. 'I‘lm town has a large export trade with Collingwood and the copper mines at the north. and imports to some extent from Chicago and De- troit.
