The first day‘s travel brought Mr. Smith to fi}:ryva:-t:n Crossing, near collections exiend back 530 years and will be found intensely interesting to those who value the records of proneer life. We give this week an instalment of the life of the above named gentleman, a brother of Mr. A. G. Smith of Dorâ€" noch, but now resident in Saugeen, Co. Bruce, The extract is from the Po:t Elgin Times, which says " he is the oldâ€" est settler in the district and ona who bore his full part in conquering the forests and doing his duty to his counâ€" try in every relacion of life. _ These reâ€" Coming on to Montreal a short time was spent and,work obtained, the wages being i0 cents an hour, At Lachine a month was spent, but life was not enâ€" 1ovment without a knowledge of the "rench language. The next two years were spent on a farm in Glengarr county, near Williamstown. â€"Mr. Smit{l remembers a noted election in Glengarry in 18M41, the candidates being Dr. Grant and Jolhn Sandfield McDnald, The voting was open and lasted three days and was attended by great excitement. The Atlantic had to be crossed in those days by sailing vessels and *The British i(ing " the ship in which the subject offour sketch crossed the ocean, was looked upon as shaky enough and aven unsafe. However, tKe voyage was made in safety and Quebec was reached on August 26th, exactly three months and eight days after sailing. It was that very year that Hugh Milâ€" ler, Cromarty‘s greatest son, hng been summoned to Edinburgh to conduct the Witness, the organ of thefNonâ€"Intrusion party in the church and in ever{ house in the land there was high debate on ecclesiastical matters. As an Association we deeply regret his death, but, knowing that your loss is irreparable, and that any words we may utter is but a feeble expression of our syimpathy, we earnestly commend you to the care and keeping of Him who "is a husband to the widxow and a father to the fatherless."

Though now ap[)muchin{f eighty years of age. he is still straight as} an arrow. . Like so many of the more eaterprising families in the Highlands of Scotland the Smiths had their thoughts early turned to Canâ€" ada as the Isn(thvro they might hew out independent and happy homes for themselves, It was only then in the natural order of events that on the 18th day of May, 1840, they found themselves at the seaport of Cromarty, in the shire of Ross and Cromarty, making preparaâ€" tions to sail for the New World. Peter Smith was thern a young man of 22 years, full of strength and hope, and his last recollections of Scotland ae the antique appearance of the houses of (‘runmrt{. many of them built in the quaint Flemish style. The reso‘ation of condolence to the widow and family of the late Alex. Taylor was movea by Mr. Wm. Calâ€" der, Duarham, and seconded by Mr. «Jas. Crawtord, Egremont, and is as Drar Mapax:â€"We, the members of South Grey Reform Association in Conâ€" vention assembled, take this the first available opportunity to express our nymfiuthy with you in the bevreavement Kou ave sustained in the death of your usband.

Taylor, thought it would behove the keformâ€" ers to look torward rather than back, as there would be another battle in Provincial Politics shortly. Persons in each subdiyision should look after the Voters‘ Lists rather than rely on the Townsltip Executive.
