It is astonishing how far distant. thirty years ago, the shores of Georg- ian Bay seemed from the settled portions of Upper Canada. Up Yonge Street to Holland Landing, down the sluggish Holland River, and northward across Lake Simcoe to Orillia; across the country some twenty miles to Goldwater; then batteaux (in alter days a steamer once a week) from Sturgeon Bay 'coastwise along Georgian Bay to any 30! the new and struggling settle- ments on its shores. The opening of the Northern Railway in the winter of 1854-43, put a new face upon mat- ters. Up to that time the northern part of Grey had been comparatively 4 isolated. Penetanguishene and some spots on the southern shores of the romantic inlet upon which it stands, waters of Georgian Bay. Penetan- guishene was a Naval Station as far back as the war of 1812. Looking across, then, at a distance of ‘20 miles, from the strait between the Christian Islands and the shores of Tiny. Collingwood Mountain must have loomed up in silent and forbidding ‘ grandeur. But the spirit of progress ‘ (and the wants of speculators!) are never satisfied The settlements had reached Barrie; and it was desirable to extend the surveys northwesterly; especially as there were a great many _ .’ -Af“ ‘A ‘A 9°]! VVVV .r -'-' -___, - -- floating ” U. E. Rights” still to lo. cate. PeOple in the present day can scarcely have an idea of the persist- ence of the speculators in lands and land scrip before the Union. No sooner was a township surveyed than a shoal of these speculators pounced "I'vvwâ€" '- upon it. and secured the best portions‘ of it; and being, many of them. in the Upper Canada Parliament. they managed to get the "actual settle- ment ” clause in the grants modified or set aside, in their particular cases. To a considerable extent Collingwood was acquired by absentees. under U. LE. and other land scrip. As men- ,tioned in another place. the Govern- [ment had bought up the Indian title Lll‘V Iâ€"- u..â€" v ‘ Richunothinâ€"g but die rude unbroken .forest.

Mr. Rankin. now of Owen Sound, was employed to survey two townships on Georgian Bay. There was then no Collingwood town, with its low water margin, railway eleva- tor, dark background of cedar, and sentinel lighthouse; no farms and fields smoothed out of the shaggy shoulders of the mountain; no Mea- {ord nestling in the elbow of the Bight of St. Vincent. with its cultivated slapes in rear, and terrace. like farms extending down to Cape mountain ; and (Continued From Last Week.) You don’t take Vapo-Cresolene “into the stomach, you breath it. Put some Cresolene in the vaporizer, light the lamp beneath an" then breathe-in the vapor. It’s easy, convenient, safe. It can be used with success, even for infants. wâ€"vâ€" Don’t you'see at once how'valuable such a remedy must be for hay.fever, diphtheria, sore throat, catarrh, asthma, and other diseases of the air passages? For whooping-cough it is a perfect specific, often curing the disease in from one to three days. ‘ '_ o ‘ 1L \Vhat is Vapo-Cresolene ?

FORTY YEARS AGO. [or the western half. it may all be set down as pretty good land. and sufliciently well situ- ated; falling down toward the valley of the Beaver River, or occupying its bottom. An incident of the survey is worth preserving. Chief Wahba- tick, of the Ojibways. now an infirm old tnan of 70 or 80, at Cape Croker, called upon Mr. Rankin, and ordered the surveying party to desist, and leave “his land.” Mr. Rankin rea- soned with him; showing him that ,the Government did not profess to {claim the land further west than Vail’s Point, but that up to thatl headland they had bought out the Indian rights. Wahbatick had prob- as, in after years. when ’no longer considered as a Chief, he dissented ,from the surrender of the Saugeen Peninsula to Lord Bury. Be this as it may. he threatened the party ; but having implicit faith in his ”Great Father ” at York, Sir John Colborne, the Lieut. Governor of Upper Canada, he would first try peaceful means. He departed; and within the short space of about ten days re-appeared, having been. by canoe and on foot, to York (Toronto) in the me‘ntime. nm-_ to York (Toronto) in the me ntime. The clerks at the Crown Lan Office had imposed on the'fiery little Chief, and giving him a paper which they asserted would cause all unauthor- ized trespassers to decamp, got rid of him. The paper was but a printed handbill, "' Lands for Sale ;” and this he had carried. carefully folded. in his bosom, all the way from York. He ” served it ” upon Mr. Rankin with all due importance; but seeing no immediate efiect, grew confident- ial, and admitting he was “buckstae,” (hungry), got something to eat and drink, and made peace with the party, The surveying party came across in boats from Penetanguishene. which, during the season was their “ base of supplies.” The " Blue‘ Mountains ” were then considered so far away andso forbidding. that some apprehensions were felt for the safety of the partyâ€"from Indians, wild beasts, and distance from civil- ization. The Naval Lieutenant in command was extremely delighted to see the party safely return at the close of the season. When the plans were all sent in, the new township was called by the Governor “ Alta,” from the great height of land within it. Cap. Mob- erl_v. a retired Naval oflicer. drawing his grant of land in the township, disliked the name “Alta,” and pre- vailed on Sir John Colborne to change it to “ Collingwood,” as well as the other township from “ Zero.” to “St. Vincent,” after those two Naval heroes. The natural outlet of the tramc of the eastern half of Collingwood is down the Beaver Valley to Clarks- burg and Thornbury; while the western or mountain half of the . township find their market and out- let westenly ...towsrd Collingwood town and the villsges sud stations of Nottswsssga. Hence there are two interests in the to“ nsloip. ah‘host as distinct ss if there Wei-e two town- ships: The Council meet somewhat centrally in the township, and try to reconcile these conflicting interests as best they can. There are three villages in Colling- wood; Thornbury, Clarksburg and Williamsmwn [Heathcote]. The township is 'rapidly,improving and filling up. as may be evidenced by the fact that the number of acres held in 1864 is 14,000 more than in 1860. A pleasing feature in the statistics of this township is that by the census reports, it raised half as much fall wheat in 1860 as all the rest of the County. The injury to the spring wheat by summer frosts has forced the farmers to this experi- ment ; but independently of that. it is found to be fully as remunerativo a crop under all circumstances. and :is now being increasingly cultivated . throughout the County. The soil is generally clay, through the township of Collingwood. ' ' The Owen Sound and Collingwood Gravel Road runs along the shore, across the front of the township, and forms an excellent commercial out- let'. Were a wharf erected at Thorn- buryâ€" as at Meaford, and the Owen Sound and Collingwood Steamer making daily calls, it would be still better. This is an improvement which the future must prdvide. Trout anglers in the Beaver take up their quarters in one of the three villages above 'named. as taste or convenience decide. Deer hunters make their head-quarters at Milli- gan’s Hotel. at the feet of the moon- tain, 4m. E.of Thornbury. Many â€"â€"J MAI--A a deer is tracked round and round the mountain by the bounds, and finally shot in Milligen’s clearing. or overtaken in the waters of Georgian UVVI uw-vâ€" -v- -___ Bay, to which in their desperation they often betake themselves. (Continued Next Week.) The following clipping from the Toronto Star of Friday last has caused considerable guess work. It explains itself and we give it just as it. appears :â€" Mary Smith, the victim of the al- leged criminal operation performed by Dr. Stephen B. Pollard, made her firm. appearance in the Police Court room this morning. Miss Smith, who, by the way is not Miss Smith, but Miss Somebody Else, comes from Durham. She is a pretty blonde, with dark eyes. She was tastily dressed in a suit of light brown, with dark brown trimmings, with a blue ribbon at her throat, and a black bonnet, trimmed with blue. She has apparently pretty well re- covered from her recent experiences, and told her story with tolerable self-possession. The operation, she said, was performed on August 27th, for a cash consideration of 816. Dr. Pollard was represented by a formidable array of counsel, includ- ing Mr. Kent, Mr. E. F. B. Johnston. who has returned from the Sifton trial, looking a trifle lagged, and Mr. Robinette. In addition the defence had a stenographer to take down the evidence. The witness was cross- examined by Mr. Johnston, the ef- fect being to elicit, apparently, that Miss Smith had tampered with drugs or instruments hereof. t On the conclusion of Miss Smith’s story the case was formally adjourn- ed until Wednesday, the under- standing being that the case will not really be resumed until the follow. ing Monday when Mr. Johnston will beâ€" at liberty. ..
