Arteme- eta, Glehelg, Bentiuck and Brant to Walkerton; thence with a general northerly course to Southampton, where. it empties into Lake Huron lts course is very devious; from its source to Walkerth is about 40 m. in a direct line, and from that town to the mouth of the river is but little over :50 In. direct, making 70 m. for the course of the river; yet, from its many windings, it must flow over IOO miles. The Saugteu is remark- able for its many branched. It has no («war than five large tributaries, some of them dignified with the ap- pellation of " Rivers.” 1n the county of Grey, on the main stream, are the villages of Priceville, Durham and Hanover; on the south fork (the so called “ Maitland” of former days), are Cedarville, Mount Forest, Ayton and Neustadt. The Sangeen, and all its numerous branches, present an al- most unlimited number of water privileges; not a tithe of which are as yet used for manufacturing. Nor- manby, Egremont, Glenelg and Ben- tiuck. in the county of Grey, are wholly drained by the Saugeen; and Proton, Melaucthon, Osprey, Arte- mesia, Hollan t and Sullivan, partial- ly. Most of the branches of the Sangeen have been used, during the last two or three years. for flowing down elm timber, intended for the St. Lawrence; and all of them are‘ more or last: visited in the season byi anglers, for trout fishing has becomei all the. fashion of late in the North- west.

The council of the united townships meet at Brooke. This little township, lying: so hand- sotnuh on the shores of Owen’s Scam], within easy reach of the town. and presenting; on the whole, tolerahly good land {some very good, other portions a little stony). soon began to fill up with settlers; the majority at them came from the older settlements " down below ” (as they themselves would term it). and knew juSt how to go to work to make a good township out ofa wilderness. Sarawak has three concessions, lengthwise of the township. 'l‘hat nearest the shore is called the third concession. Between the 2nd and 3rd concessions, a leading road has been well cleared out and improved, and will soon be. all the year round, as it. now' is in winter, a very good road Sarawak. distant about 10 miles from tthe town of Owen Sound. from whence it is supplied with mails every Monday.
