Continued from several weeks‘ago. Afew months ago we gave the ‘lm instalmert by way of attempt of ~Glenâ€" elg History." This time we shall endeaâ€" vyor to flu back as far as municipal recorncd« directs us and in doing so we find that we cannot roduce any minâ€" utes of proceedings i}.‘uhen- were any, of council further back than January 1850. The fArat council elect for that year were; A B McNab reeye. Allan Cam~â€"»â€" on, Duncan Smith, Ge-i) Ledinghbam ana D McCormick, councitiors. Of these all kave gone the way from which no travâ€" elier returos, with the exception of Mr Ledingham, who we believe is fw-t in the land of the living. _ Neil Mc ntyre was appotnt ed lowna‘l{:ip clerk and treaâ€" aurer. . MrMcintyre did not observe the rules of orthography with correctness and as a grammarian we cannot say whether he ever saw the inside of a gran mar or not. However we findf hat be wmanaged to put in one year serving the responsible dutres of clerk and tre â€" surer, _ Mr Melntvre received for his service five pounds per annum and all th« security required of him for being treasurer was himself in £25 and two sureties in £12, 10s each. The council passed a byâ€"law for the purpose of levying the sum of £20 to meet all the demands for the year and all that it required in the £ was oneâ€"half penny. a very moderate rate surely, a little over 2 anlls on the dollar and showing the total nssessment of the township to have been about $48.000. The members of council received 5 shillings= per day for their services and board. The township was divided into three divisions for assesament purposes. Geo Ledingham assessor for the Ist division, Jas McGirr for the 2nd and Arch Black for the 3rd division. : Mr Jas Edge was appointed collector, but the minutes do not show what Mr Edge‘s remuneration was, but as the gentleman is yet in the land of the livâ€" ing be can tell what be received for collecting £20. In 1851 Peter Watson was elected reeve and the late John Moodie was appointed clerk and treasurer instead ot M Mcelniyre, who was discharged. Alex Hunter, assessor, for the year 1851 and Jas Edge, collector. _ Messrsâ€"Neil McCannel & William Morrison were appointed joint assessors for the year 1802 and James Edge collector. _ In 1853 A B McNab reeve. _ In 183 Jas McGirre was appointed reeve, an office which be held till 1858. The first settlers came to Durham in the year 1843 _ Among those coming that year and following year were the late Arch Hunter, Davises, McCorâ€" mick‘s, MceArthur‘s, Siwnmth‘s, &c. â€" We canuot say whether the ratepayers had to pay taxes or not in the year‘s interâ€" vening between 1844 and 1800, but they bad bardship enough to endure without taxing them for nothing. We find on the minutea of January 1850 application from Mr Thos Gordon, of Owen Sound, to be appointed superâ€" intendent of schools for the township of Glenelg, but as there were no schools whatever withinâ€"the: corportation, the clerk was instructed to write Mr Gorâ€" don stating that his services were not required yet. _ _ The first school section was union No. 2, Bentinck and Glenelgy and the ratepayers in this section were taxed to erect a frame school house on lot 20 in the town plot of Duarham, in that year. _ We find that the council pretended to observe all the byâ€"laws on record to the letter of the law, but how far in reality these pretentions were carried out, can easily be seen by the fruits they bore _ As for instance a byâ€" law was passed for the destroying of the growth of weeds detrimental to good farming, such as Canadian thistles. burrs, burdocks, &¢,. _ Now if these genâ€" tlemen bad put the above byâ€"daw in force they would haye been setling a ignnd example to their successors in oftice during the 53 years that has passâ€" ed away since, but these byâ€"laws were passed and that was all that was a bout them,. _ Weeds were allowed to grow opposite each farm, geverally speaking. and the owners were never threatened or â€" asked toobserve the request of council, but we shall pass on. \In the year 1851 tbhe sum of twentyâ€" eight, pounds, seyen shillings was levied on all rateable property in the township to meet all the demands. _ Henry Farr was appointed cullector for 1854 and J no Skene and Duncan Smith assessors,. In 1856 Neil MceCUannel and Wim Diamond was appointed assessors, salary £12, 103 each. _ John Swinburne was appointed clerk and treasurer, an office which he held till 1859. when Mir Jas Brown was appointed, who served clerk till 1884, when the present efficient clerk J 3 Black, Esq., was appointed. John Butâ€" ter, brother of A Buatter, Priceville, was appointed collector for 1856, his sureties wore the late Angus Beaton, Glenely Centre, Arch MeDonald lot 41, N. D. R., and Johu Black, merchant, Durham, This is the first year that sureties were put on the uinutes of council. In 1857 Jas Diamond and Jno Buiter were uplminled assessors. _ In the year 1856 £1050, 2», 3d was receiyed from the Clergy Reserve fund. Said amount was chiefly appropriated in making roads which were needed badly at that time. The council in the early years ad »pted the system of granting no money for repairs of roads without being petitionâ€" ed for by those interested and benetitted by the granting of said petitions. _ The eouncil board were nor. very extrayaâ€" gant, for instance. municipal expenses ordered to be paid in 1856 as ‘tollows :â€"â€" Arch Black, 9 days at council £2, 16s, 3d Wim Bray, _ * * t:l. 16s, 3d W Morrison. * «+__ £2, 16s, 3d Jas MeGirr. | * «_ £2,16s, 3d M Irying. 6 days at council, £1, 173, 6d but it must be taken into consideration that they got their board and whiskey | with the above amount. hemaibg. abodegh â€"‘ m HUTTON HILL PI€ AND BOX SOCIAL.

To be Continued. the people of was Friday evening, Oct 23rd and Li Js were priuted aunouncing the same. As a resuit the »choo! was packed to its utmost capacity with a mirthfal crowd of young and o‘d from town and country. W S Davidson bad been chosen to do the selliny of pies and boxes, and so well did he pertorm his part that the proceeds doubled expectations. _ Atter all bad been disposed of a very * preâ€"ous " ecompany did ample justice to the good things secured. It was a pleasing scene to see all evjoying themselyas among new and old acquaintanses. Then came the hiterary and musical pact of the program of which Jno A Grabam was chosen chairman _ On acâ€" count of the lateness of the bour not mach more than halt the prepared program was rendered. _ Among those who assisted were Misses Margzaret and Laura Hutâ€" tou, who rendered two excellent recitaâ€" tious. _ Will Hargraye also gave a droll Itrish selection in good style. . The wuâ€" sical part of the program. vosal and inâ€" strumental was well sustamed by Mesâ€"rs C Dunsmoor and J Quinun with Mrs J Quinn presiding at the piano. _ Jame:# Wilson, Lambton 8t bad with him bis splendid gramaphoue and delighted the andience with his wellâ€"chosen selection> T wo plays were also ncted and gave satisâ€" | faction to all. * Played and Lost" was giyen by Messrs W Hargreaves, W Alexâ€" ander, R Hophins and Misses Annie Petâ€". lty and Winuie Hopkins. _ This play uwelt upon the feminine failing of being 'enuaged to two or three suitors at the ous and saume time in order to discover the best from a financial point of view. The other play entitled " On Guard " was acted by Misses Mary Hargreaves and Tiss Hopkins and _ Messrs Thos Lawrevce. Campbell Dunsmoor, Robt Hopkins and Wam Alexander. This play showed how very useloss it is to interâ€" f«re with true loye between worthy persons. Is depicted the elopement, the maurriage, and the usual making up of friends when all is dGone and said. The meeting was brought to a close at ballâ€"pastâ€"twelve by singing the N=â€" tivnal anthem. _ All then departed for home or someone else‘s home after after baying spent a yery ple«sant evening in a â€" profitable way for Hutton Hill. ‘The proceeds amounted to $56.45. Com. It was a dall markes this morsing and offerings were small. _ There were no export cattle brought in, and the quality of butchers‘ offered was for the mo«t part not of the tirst class. _ The principal buâ€"iness was done in stockers and feeders, which zold well. _ There were 38 cars of stock brought in, comâ€" prising 824 cattle, 1,177 sheep, 1,800 hogs, and 28 calves.
