Fach case i4 is orlzinal and has stood the test for ROBUST MANKHOOO PRINTS 25¢ About the year 1848 the first frame bonse was built for the aeccommodation of the Land Office and this house still stands. _ I% is at present occupied as a residence by Mr Robt. Scott, The second frame house to be built is also standing being built by the late Goo. Matthews who lived in it nntill his death some few yours ago. _ About this year also the Edgo Milis were erected which proved a great boon to the settlers tor miles around who previously had to go to Fergus with their grist, then to The location of the Land Office at Durkam attracted many prospective settlers who would otherwise have located elsewhere and thus the village receiyed an impetus which soon raised it to the dignity of quite a centre, By tho year 1848 the hamlot gaye promise of being of considerable proâ€" minence At the date last mentioned the Crown Land office for the Co, of Grey was removed from O, Sound to this place, and Mr Geo. Jackson placed in charge thereot as goyernment agent, Mr Jackson at once took a most active part in the development of the viltige and to his eftorts in its behalf more than to those of any other ono man, may . the subsequ>nt growth afd consequence of Durham be justly attributed. To M Jackson beloogs also the credit of conâ€" ferring npon the viltage the euphonious name of Durham, couferred it is said in hovor of his English _ birthplace. Prior to this it had been known as Bentinek P. 0. ? Closely following Mr Hunter, came Mr John Davidson and family, whose son Archibald, now living in Darkam, was the first white child born here, Seyeral families includiog the McDonâ€" ald‘s, McKenzie‘s, the Scotts, also Mi McNab, one of the first storeâ€"keepers, and some years later postmaster, and the late Rev Alexander Stewart, were in prior to 1848. The latter gentleman a Baptlst missionary, was the first of any denomination to minister to the spiritual wants of the intant settliement, He settled on the land now occupied by the Hunter ilock. built his shanty and chopped and cleared his cwn lot, consisting of 4 acre. Mis was indeeed a life of love and self sacrifice, travelâ€" ling for miles in every direction throughout swamps from one se{itleâ€" ment to another, humbly striving to do the work of his Lord and Master. The first log shanty to be erected in what is now the town, was built by Mr Hunter and stood a little to the north of, where Mr Telford‘s house now siands, Mr Hunter passed the winter here and the following year went back for his family. He immediately commenced the chopping and clearing process, and as settlers began to move northward past his door to locate on the free grauts on the Garafraxa Road beâ€" tween there and Sydenham, (now O. Sound). he opened his house to the public,g which$ proved a great | adâ€" yantage to settiers and prospectors, there veing no other inn bet veen Mt. Forest and 0. Sound. The entertainâ€" ment here afforded was of course of a rather primitive character, but an historical writer in the * Meaford Monitor, " discussing the features of this hostelry assures us with the greatâ€" est gravity that " it was kept as comâ€" fortable as the accommodation would permit of, " a statement which Macâ€" aulay himself could not gainsay Reaching the Saugeen River they crossed and reached the top of the hill, abont where the English Church now stands. _ Here, they found a deserted Indian wigwam and passed the night therein,. In the morning there was some difference of opinion as to whether they should go on furâ€" ther or not, when Mr Hunter settled it by stating "Well men, you can do as you like in the uuétcx, but I go no further. I‘ll take this farm for myself and the one across the road for my son." The farm chosen by Mr Hunter was the one now owned and occupied by bis grandson, Mr A. 8, Hunter, while the ReviEw OFFICE stands on the 8.E. corner of that chosen for his son William. _ Mr Jamieson took the Lauder farm, his son what is now the W in Lawson farm, while Pollen chose what is known as the Wilcoxon farm, but tiring of pioneer life he soon left bis claim which was taken up by the late Alex. Hunter, The party proceeded first of all to Oakville where one of the surveyors Col. Chisholm, who had just been through these parts, was then staying, Inquiring from him as to which part of the newly surveyed country he would advise them to locate, he told them that if they followed the suryey until they came to the Big Saugeen River then cross the river and go up hill and take the farms immediately north of what was laid out for a town, they would in his opinion get as good farms as were to be had between t‘flere and the lake, _ Leaving Oakviile they proceeded to Fergus walking the enâ€" tire distance from Fergus up, â€" They passed here and there small clearings with their little log shanties, The nearesv one to what is now Durham was a few miles to the south, at what is now McClinton‘s Corners. â€" Mere Mr, Vollett, grandfather of our present worthy town clerk had located, Emigrating to America from Scotâ€" land in 1811, HMe spent one year in New York State. Flearmg. bowever, of the free homesteads to be obtained in Canada and no doubt impelled by the love he had for the old flag, he with a party of four others decided to make a home for themselves in what was then known as the * Queen‘s Buasbh." The party consisted of Mr. Hunter and his son Win a Mr Jamieson and his son and a man by the name of Pullen. The first man to settle in what is now the town of Durham was the late Archibald Hunter who located here in 1$42. As the manner in which he was led to settle here may be inâ€" teresting it will probably be worith while relating. senting the paper given by Dr. J. F. Grant at a recent meeting of the Gaild here. â€" Himself a descendant of Archiâ€" bald Hunter, Durham‘s pioneer, he is eminently fitted to record the doings of early days. â€" He must have giyen conâ€" siderable care and research to his subâ€" ject, and we congratulate him on the result. _ The paper follows and we hope Dr. Grant will continue to show how the present has grown out of the past : Prior to the year 1837, what we are now proud to call the town of Durâ€" ham, was an uusurveyed wilderness, The nearest settlement being then the village of Fergus and the most northâ€" erly surveied township being the township of Garafraxa. _ In that year however, the Government ordered a road to be survcged from Garafraxa township to the Georgian Bay. _ This road on occount of its sttrtmg point was called the "Garafraxa Road." As soon as the road was surveyed the Goyernment proceeded to lay out free grants on each side to induce settleâ€" ment. We hbhave pleasure this week in preâ€" Early Durham.

The initial moeting of the now incorporated town was held in Dalglish‘s ba.r!Y. The first Mayor elected to preside oyer its destinies was Alexâ€" ander Cochrane and Archibald McLellan was elected Reeve. The first council consisted of the following gentlemen : ( H.

Whon the Teronto, Grey & Lruce Road was in contemplation, overlares were made by its managers to the people of Durham and yicinity with a view to obtaining such local suapport as would warrant the construction of the road to that point. _ An attempt was made by some of the most enterprising and proâ€" gressive men of that section to eecure the passage of bonus by laws to sid the project, and insure the extension northâ€" wards from Mt. Foreat to Owen Sound or some point in the Co, of Brace, Each locality, however,. wanted the railWay in its own midst and it was found utterly impossible to harmonize the differences, haence the progressive scheme collapsed and the people were left to reflect upon the lost opportunity of railway conâ€" nection, A brief reference to the cireumstances which led to the isolation of Darham from the railway world will be sufficient, It was the old story of strife between diffierent localities which being too freeâ€" ly indulged in, redounded to tne permaâ€" ment injury of the participauts in leavâ€" ing msuy of them without the boon over which they respectively wraugled and whieh the most comm.nplace harmony and prudence could bhave secured.
