' Next week the connti of Grey Will have passed its fiftieth birthday On March the lat. 1854. the county was set apart by an order in council. the county buildings,which were then a. aring com plet1on.were taken 03 the contractor’s hands. and a proclama tion was issued re’cogniaing the new municipality. For two years pre- vious‘to 1854 a provisional council had looked after the erection of the . new county buildings and the pre. liminaries necessary to the formation of the new county. Previous to that in 1852, Wellington. Grey and Water- loo were combined under the name of the Wellington district with one council which met at Guelph. In 1853. \Vaterloo became a separate county and Wellington and Grey were unit- ed. In the following year Grey was erecred to a separate county. The first officers of the county of Grey, all of whom are dead, were Judge Wilkes, Sheriff Snider. Thos. Lunn. registrar; W. R. Armstrong. clerk of the in ace; Peter Inglis. clerk of the crown and county court. and John Miller, gaoler, father of GOV° r nor Miller, who is now in charge of the county’s prisoners. Although the gaol was not fully completed the keys ti'ere handed over to the late J. Miller on March lat. and a short time afterwards the first prisoners were placed in his custodv. Gree'nway Steele, a mulatto, and his Mother, Martha Watt. were the first prison ers to enter the anal. They were ar- rested for a roobery near Johntown â€"â€"now the villiage of Chatsworth and were sentenced to terms in Kings ton penitentiary. One night before their removal friends came along. and as the gaol wall had not been built, they took some of the ecafiolding f‘l‘lom around the building and pried off the bars. Thus the first prisoners in the county gaol escaped. Martha Watt was captured the next year in Chatham, and brought back to Owen Sound. She was then removed to Kingston by the stage to serve a two years sentence. It took two weeks to make the trip to Kingston. The son Creenway Steele was never re- captured. Many years afterward he came back to UWen Sound. but his crime had been long forgotten and he wasnot arrested. With the largest territory in the province. the county ofGi-ey had deveIOpeJ into a pros- perous common-weath of nearly 71'),- HOO people. Its county town has gl‘0\\'ll from a hamlet to the proporo tions of a city. The county is practi- cally free from debt. Though twenty thousand dollirs is outstanding it is partly provided for by a sinking fund that has been accumulating for 7 years It would be only a technical untruth to say that the. county of Grey is free from debt. The first meeting of the provisional council met on April 15th, 1852, at the inn of James Coleman. now the Royal Hotel. in the village of Sydenham. now Owen Sound. pursuant to a proclamation of the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine Mr. Lunn Reeve of Sydenham, was appointed to take the chair. The members present were Messrs. Lunn Jackson. McNab, Carney. Grey, Allen. Smith, Robertson, Beachell. Jones and Prinule. The provisional council met again on February 15th. 185:3. The first council of the county of Grey met at the inn ofJames Cole man on the :23rd of January, 1854. Richard Carney was the first warden, the other members being as follows: Artemesia. W. K.

Pringle; Sydenham. Wm. McDonald Warden Carney being the other representa- tive. The administration of afiairs of the county has been in the hands of good men, and the almost un- equalled financial standing is due to to their careful and economical'busi-g ness management.

The Chronicle’s article on the l'u- speakable Scot alludes to the fact that Britain’s greatest statesmen are Scotch. Do you think it could be possible that those great men became Scotchtnen after they were aspiring for those eminent positions? Take for instance, our own Henry H. Mil- ler, who on earth ever thought of him being Scotch until he became a candidate for parliamentary honors. and yet a fortnight ago on the day of the Scotch concert he came over to Durham and entered the Sons of Scotland Order without even the usual balletting being done to give those doubtful of his nationality a chance to object. and he too is now a Scotchman of great notoriety, but of course he isn’t an M. P. yet by any means. If he keeps on as he is doing swearing allegiance to every organiz- ation he comes in contact with by election day he will, to say the leaSt. be everything else.
