In 1848, what is called the “ Durv ham Road ” Was laid out. It stretch- ed across the southern part of the township of Osprey, Artemesia, Glenelg and Bentinck, from Notta- wasaga westward. Nor did it stop at the limits of this County; for the same survey was continued through the township of Brant; and after meeting the diagonal survey of the “Elora Road” at the S. W. corner 0! the latter township. continued its way, at first in t. then H. W. to Kincardine on _ ake Enron. The lots on this road were “ free grants.” and from 1849 it may be said to have been fully settled.

[it from Durham eastward, was sur- ? veyed by the late David Gibson Esq. ., P L. S. In common with other roads laid out by Government fOr colonization purposes it follous to isome degree the inequalities of the country. while preserving its general course From Durham to Colling- wood is about 50 miles. Durham lies pIincipally on very high ground. on the right hank of the Saugeen. and the road eastward follows the ridge fo i Inilt s, then takes an elbow sou Iward, crosses the Saugeen. and continues eastward on lower ground. At 3} In. from Durham is McArthur’s tavern. and a .blacltsmith’s shop. The place is sometimes called "Pring- leville." The Gravel Road is now found a quarter mile or more south of the original “ Durham Road,” avoiding thereby a range of hills over which the line runs. When it comes out on the straight line again, the traveller finds himself 5 m. from Durham. We have just passed a small wayside Inn '(Mrs. Black’s), and see on our left a small church belonging to the Canada Presby- terians. As we enter Priceville. (10 m. from Durham), we find the Gravel Road has again made a detour to the south, and passes through the village not only off the line. but with a zig- zag to humour the ground. and save cutting. There is good hotel accom- modation at Priceville, though there is none on the way thither. Here the road. instead of going. eastward on its old course, turns off N. E. toward Flesherton and. Maxwell. crossing the Toronto and Sydenham Road at the former place. There are no hotels till we get to Flesherton, and the 4 miles between the places is found to be pretty hilly. A Gravel Road in these regions does not neces- sarily involve deep cuttings and easy grades. Contrast the road with what it was, and be thankful for what you have got, especially as it costs you nothing in tolls! From the village of Flesherton it is three or four miles to the next tavern ('1‘. Munshaw’s), then another mile and a half to Miller’s tavern; and about 3 In. farther to the village of Maxwell, in Deprey. We are now going east through the centre of Osprey. in a beautiful and level country, 3 or 4 In. north of the real ”Durham Road.” There is one hotel at Maxwell, new and commodious. From thence we go about 7 m. east on a straight and beautiful road, to the County line of Simcoe. We are now in sight of Singhampton, and only a; m. S of it. We turn north on the County line. put up comfortably at Singhampton, and when we go on again toward Bowmore and Collingwood Harbor, (the latter 13 m. from Singhampton), we find we are out of the County of Grey. and have lost our Gravel Road. DURHAM T0 WALKERTON. Proceeding westward from Durham toward Walkerton and Kincardine. on the " Durham Road,” now gravel- led as far as the County line at Han- over, we descend from the high upland on which Durham is situated. and When about three-fourths of a mile distant, cross the Saugeen,. which here takes a considerable bend to the north. After receiving the ” Rocky Saugeen,” it bends more southward, and we shall see it again. Another three-fourths of a mile brings us to a high ridge and a deep cut on the road, immediately after passing which a beautiful piece of woods. about a mile long, opens up. with the road through it as straight as an arrow. cut out fifty yards or more wide. We observe an unusual amount of pine in this tractâ€"for this Countyâ€"and prophesy good rates for it when it comes to be sold. It belongs to the Edge estate. After passing the Edge woods. we come to an Inn on the left; and now find the country rolling, with long slopes on the road, though no heavy ‘° hills.” About 5 m. from Durham we come to Chitticlt’s tavern and a black- smith’s shop. Half a mile further the road bears away to the left, to avoid the Saugeen River. We see Fensom’s Mills at our right, where the bend of the road occurs. “ Allan Park” post ofice and store occurs next, 6} m. from Durham. About a mile further on the road comes out to the straight line again. and we soon gain sight of Hanover. in a pretty level and well-cleared-up neighborhood. At McGaw's “Han- over Hotel ” we strike the County line, and find we are now 11 m. from Durham and 6 In. from Walkerton. [The discription of the road given here teams 5 little mixed. especially as regards the relative poslticns of “ Allen Perl: ” and “ the bend in the roed.”â€"Ed.] vvwv COW VIOJV 43%: Mcxgiio'i __1u-_-wn'fi'£_ Mchch Dnusmoor.
