A very long hill separates the upper and lower towns, and in former days pre- sented a very formidable appearancta to the teatnster and traveller ; but it is now cut down to a uniform and easy grade. Abundance of limestone When Grey was erected as a separ- ate County, the claims of Durham to be made the County Seat were strong- ly urged. It was certainly somewhat more central than Owen Sound ; but as the roads in the county were of the most primitive character, and at times almost impassable. and Owen Sound a lake port. the claims of the latter prevailed. The County Crown Land Agency has. however, always remained at Durham. At the pres- ent time arrangements are in pro- gress toward the incorporation of the place under a Village Corporation [It will probably be arranged during Pthe present year, so as to take effeCt in 1866.
