This is Shellow Bey [shellow in the sense 0! not running fer into the lend], between the two Inlets, Owen’s Souud end Colpoy’s Bey. It indents‘ the North Shore of Keppel, end is four tnilee ecroee from point to point. A line thus cerried ecroIis would be lrotn e mile to e rnile end e helf {roux the deepest recess of the Bey. Just there, as mill streetn debouches into the Bey, end the new villege of “North Koppel” is struggling into existence. The Bey, though epper- ently well protected by Urifiith’s lslend lying directly in front, isl lieble to be vexed with befling winds end currents setting in from two or three directions between the Islends; end in former times it was not el- weys possible to celculate the time e boet would teke in getting past the Bey. Some of the eerlier vovegers, vexed et these unwilling delays, ‘geve the piece the neme oi “ Purga- tory Bey.” The neme “Big Bey.” This is a very pretty River. and deserves a better name than the rather rude one it bears. A genera- tion ago. the mouth of the river formed a safe and convenient shelter for tne batteaux, which served nearly all the purposes of lake navigation for surveyors. explorers, and traders. Some of these parties. camping for the time on its shores, found, washed‘ 'out by the freshets. a skull of re- l markably large pr0portions; probably ‘belonging to some Indian warrior, whose fame has missed reaching us. The river where the “Big Head” was found, or the “ Big Head River,” was from thenceforth the rather un- poetical name of the stream. Its . farthest source is in Holland near lthe 'l‘oronto Line, about 5 m. below Cbatsworth. The south fork rises on Lot 7 or 8 in 12th Con. Holland, and runs through the village of Walter’s.Falls. The general course of the Big Head River is N. E. Its length is but little over 20 m. It turns various mills; but might be made use of to a much larger extent than at present. This is also one of the trout streams of the region ; and certain favorite parts of its course are well known to anglers. It falls into Georgian Bay at Meaford. It is unfortunate that its mouth is im- peded by a sand-bar. so that it is of no value to shipping unless dredged out. BLANTYRE. A Post Office in the N. W. part 0! the township of Euphrusia, about. 6 m. from Grieravillo, 11 m. from Mea- tord. and 4 m. from Walter’s ‘Falls. IVI‘ â€"â€"â€" â€" m- Jae. Patterson. Postmaster and Gen. eral Merchant.

These are continuations of the Hamilton and Niagara formations; and in the township of Collingwood end abruptly in a steep wooded sIOpe tou ard the lake. The altitude in the immediate vicinity of Georgian Bay, [in rear of Milligan’s Hotel, 3 m. E. 1 of Thornbury]. is 750 feet above the? lake level. About 5 m. in rear of Craigleitb P. O. and somewhat nearer Collingwood Harbor, the altitude is 900 feet. Large stretches of table land are found upon their tops. Be- low the limestone of which the Blue Mountains are composed. is found bituminous Shale. as under the clifl lat Niagara Falls. . A few years ago a Coal Oil Refinery was put in opera- ltion near Craigleith. Some oil was (Continued Fro- Lut Week.) BIG HEAD RIVER.

A Grist Mill, (one run oiv‘stones), end a Cnrding Mill built by and be- longing to the estate of the lots John Wilson. Situated in the township of Sydenhsm, about three-fourths of a. mile from Leith Corners,‘nnd be- tween .six and seven from Owen Sound; (on Lot 30, Con. C. Syden- hnm.) . A village situated on Georgian Bay, ‘1 in the township of St. Vincent ;10 m. from Meaford, 19 m. from Owen Sound. by land. Population about 100. It containsa Post Ofice, two Coopers’ shops. one Carpenter’s shop, one Shoemaker’s shop, and a~Wharf 1 with Storehouse attached. In sum- '1 mer. the mail is daily, both ways, by a Steamboat; in winter, mail on Wed- nesdays and Saturdays. from Meaford only. The Steamer “ Clifton ” calls at9 a. m. on her way from Owen Sound to Collingwood. and at 4 p. m. on her return, during the season of navigation The principal interest Lin the village is the fisheries. Seven fishing boats are employed. belonging to as many different fishermen, and manned by two and sometimes three hands each. A number of extra hands are employed during the sea- son.’ who are not considered as residents, and not included in our estimate of the population. As many as 1,200 barrels of fresh fish have been shipped to Collingwood in one season. In 1864. the number reached 800 barrels. Most of these were for the Tortnto Market. Navigable water is very close in on shore ; and ‘ the wharf. though only 60 feet long, ' has, at the present low water 12 feet depth at the end. It is exposed to E. and N. E. winds, though protected from gales from other points of the compass. The absence of water- power has been adverse to the pros- perity of the place, and it has been rather nonoprOgressive for some years. Sabbath services are regular- ly held by the Baptist denomination. and occasionally by the Wesleyan Methodists. Brinan, John, fisherman. Davis, Mrs., (widow Orris.) Kyfer, Richard, fisherman.

A Grist and Sawmill, in the town- ship of St. Vincent. on the shore of Georgian Bay, one mile W. of Cape Rich. It was built in the early days of the settlementâ€"about the year 1842; and comprises. under one roof, the gristing department and the saw- mill. Though the machinery is of a primitive description, the mill is a great convenience to the neighbor- hood. The grist-mill-has one run of a stones.
