Britain and the United States. -Greece will invade Turkey de- spite the protests of the powers ot of Europe or ot the world for that matter. Turkey is showing surprising strength and resources, and backed by the moral support (more’s the pity) of the chief powers of Europe, the “sick man" may work havoc on the fiery little kingdom. In reading of the battles ot ancient Greece all men men feel as Greeks, and in this case the sympathy of the civilized world in with Greece, however some of the civilized governments may act.

The evening saw him plain Mr. Cleve- land, Barriater, Solicitor, &e. without authority over the humblest citizen. There is somethingimprcssive in seeing the old and the new President riding together to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the one to lay off the other to assume the care of such a vast human orgtutizuion. Almost the last set of President Cleveland was to veto the Corliss amendment to the alien ls.bor bill, and for this act he is entitled to the respect and admiration of the peace lovers of both nations, Cleve- land ha! proved one of the moat able at the Presidents almost the single blot on his ndminstration being his jingo Venezuelan message a. year ago. He was the first President to receive a 2nd term after being defeated, and his party would be wise and fortunate if they could secure him agrin in EDITORIAL NOTE AND COMMENT. Continual from lost week. At Orchardville, Mr. Smith firast tast- ed the sweets of hemlock ten, made a hearty meal of potatoes and beef, but the hotel and settlement had run out ot salt which made things generally, rather insipid. The Durham road was next taken and slow progress made, a. "stopping" was there kept by Mr. Hall a negro, 'mow living in Owen Sound, and claim ing to. be 112 years old. His son, D. LB. Hull ran a barber shop in Port slgin a few years ago: A Sketch of the Life of Mr. Peter Smith. PIONEER LIFE. Wm ll DURHAM, THURSDAY, MARCH ll, 1897. .ooom ':s'eA'G. in of Mr. Smith decided to settle in Glen. elg and took up lot l, con. 1, where the village of Dornoch now stands, his brothers taking up adjoining farms. Before Christmas. that year ot '42 Mr. Smith arrived in Owen Sound. Ile there took a. contract of cutting wood and felled the trees where the Coulson House now stmds. there were six white men then living in Owen Sound. Their names were John Telford, Hugh Campbell, Thee. Rutherford, Wm. Boyd, Alex. Stevens and Thou. Kevers. In the winter of U3 Mr. Smith went to Esquoeing to look for employment, he found neither work nor money. The month of May got him a pretty good job at Welling ton Square His brother John Smith who died a I few years ago, in Saugeen, and was, l, with the subject of this sketch, one of i the oldest, and most highly esteemed': settlers, had, in the early summer of . '43 returned to Grey. The hard.) ships from want of supplies were much [ felt, along with the annoyances from mosquitoes, which seemed to be worse, than usual. That year a shanty was lbuilt, oxen were bought for $80, from John Stewart, and 16 head oi' cattle were driven across Upper Canada all the way from Glengarry Co., their first home. Hay was cut from beaver. meadows as they passed along, Mr. Smith on one occasion drove a yoke of oxen sixty miles to get provisions, the animals crowded so in the snow that he had to drive them single file. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO In 1844 the township of Bentinck was survey ed by Mr. Alex. Vidal, now the Hon. Senator Vidal, of Semis, and then followed Glenelg. Mr. Smith was an assistant and became a warm friend of Mr. Vidal. Then the idea was conceived to survey the Durham road through to Kmeardine. Survey- or Brough did the work and Peter Smith was with him through it all, they crossed the Seugeen River six- teen times but they pushed on in spite of the scarcity of provisions till they resched Kincardine. There they learned there was not flottr or pork even " Goderich. However relief came from "the Durham," where 12 barrels of flour and pork had arrived. The townships of Brant, Garrick, Greenock and Kincardine were gone through and no white mms mark at- tieed in my of them, It was New Year’s dtw that the present site of Kin. cardine was struck, that would be Jun. lst 1848. Here two white men were met, namely, Black Allan Cam. eron and m Irishman Patrick Downey. A Never Failing Sign MR.

As Mr. Smith puts it somewhat vigorously “there was no jobs but for Tories " The year 1819 and part of 1860 again saw him surveying. On Feb. 18th 1850 Peter Smith was msrried to Christina Bell and July of this year found him for the first time in Ssugeen Township. He game down the Sang- Leen river on .s raft, silence reigned supreme all the way. Not e soul at Walkerton, not it soul at Paisley, nesr the mouth of the river he found two men.
