Pine is scarce, and oak is only meti with at rare points. The northern and western parts of the township are high upland. The Beaver River enters Euphrasia about the middle of its south line, and goes out. near the N. E. Corner, forming a broad valley, with a mile or two of slope on each‘ side. This valley and its slopes take lup about one-third of the township. There are very few townships in which such distant views can be ob- tained as in Euphrasia. From cer- tain points almost the whole town- ship can be seen. There is not much stone. thonggh some, in certain localities. Euphrasia contains 72,000 acres. and (in 1661) 1,472 inhabitants. There are no villages in the township. Post Offices.--Blantyre and Epp- ing. (3hurches.-â€"-Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (frame), on “Fourth Line,” one mile S. of Griersville.

Situated in the township of Ben- tinck, at. the mouth of a small stream tlw.f falls into the Saugeen. less than a mile east of Allan Park P. 0., on the north side of the Durham Road. The mills consist. of a grist mill, with one run of stones. and a sawmill. The sawmill is said to he one of the best in the ,Uounty. Fensom, John. promietor grist and sawmills. Fensom, (Messrs Richard, George and James), Lessees of mills. FEVE RS" AM. A thriving little village in the township of Osprey. a little N. W. of the centre of the township, situat- ed on the upper waters ofthe Beaver River. It is 1% miles north of the Durham and Collingwood Gravel Road, the nearest point on that road being about a mile east of Maxwell. It is 18 m. from Collingwood, 35 from Maxwell, 12 from Flesherton. 42 from Owen Sound, and 27 from Dur- ham. Feversham was not a Govern- ment town plot; but began to grow into shape six years ago, when the late Edward Horton. Rem, laid out a portion of his property into lots. Mr. Horton built the grist and saw- mills in 1860. The Houring mill has two run of stones, with conveniences for oatmeal mill, if required. The! sawmill is a first-class mill. and will turn out 4,000 ft. lumber per day. There are Still two spare water priv- ileges at Feversham The river here is a considerable stream, yet of a verv manageable size for milling purposes. It runs between precipi- tous rocky banks of auout 20 ft. in height, haying as it were cut its way through. The river is quite rapid, and a short distance below the village forms a pretty cascade of 6 or 8 feet. The mills are now the property of Arthur McRoberts, ESq. The village contains a post office, 2 stores. a schoolhouse, 2 churches, both frame buildings; grist mill,I sawmill, tavern. cabinet maker. tail- or, and carpenter. In- the Canada Presbyterian Church. there are relig- ious services every second Sabbath. by Rev. Jas. Greenfield. of Stayner. In the Episcopal Methodist Church, services every second Sabbath. by Rev. John Foster. of Eugenia. There is a Loyal Orange Lodge in Fever- sham, and a flourishing Temple of the Independent Order of Good Telnplars. Mails, Monday and Fri- day. Brounell, Rev. D.

Pricevile and Durham Road in Olden Times. In giving the Priceville school teachers names in our former sketch we omitted some very pOpular names, who served faithfully their term of office. They aze Mr. John Kerr, of Normanby, a good honest and faith- ful teacher. Miss Maria Whitmore, who taught 3 years of successful servite, and now Mre.Chae. McAr- thur, of Durham. and Miss Bull. of Durham. who taught. later on. and [whose service was, well appreciated The immediate vicinity of Price- ville was thickly settled by colored people, but. as years rolled on one family after another left, till now there is hardly one to be found with- in miles of this place. On the winding hill west, lived an old colored man and his wife by the name of Lottmen, who served their time: in slsvery. The old lady-was often hesrd to make such expressions as if she thought there was a white man in heaven she would never go there. es she took such hatred to the whites for their ill usage to her while under the bonds of slavery. But the old lady died shortly after, end has long let-e this known whether she ohteined (Contributed by John McDonald.) (Continued Xext Week.) CHRONICLE. an entrance herself to see whether there were any white people there or DOt . In the winter of 1852, the latel Alex. McIntyre was notified to put‘ up notices to call a meeting of the ratepayers of Section No. 2. Glenelg. which was formed ata re- cent meeting of the Council. The command being complied with. a meeting was called to be held at the house of the late Archibald McDon- ald, in February of the same year, for the purpose of electing trustees for the newly formed section. The trustees chosen were Messrs. Donald Ferguson. 81“., Walter Tucker and John Butter; the latter a brother of our worthy townsman, at Priceville, .\lr. Arch Butter, grownâ€"Consider- able time and discussion at the lmeeting as to the site for the new school. After a long talk and jam;- ling. it was decided to be on lot 41, N. D. It . on the property now of Hugh McDonald. The contract for buildin- schoolhouse was awarded to the late Archibald McDonald for $100.00, the material to be hewed| logs with cottage roof (of course it was not considered a schoolhouse in olden times without a cottage root). The house being ready at the time specified in the agreement. but some of those, who, in their ignorance. were antagonistic to education, laid a complaint that the building was not complete according to specifica- tion. So it was agreed upon between the contractor and the trustees to lot the matter be settled by arbitra- tion. The contractor secured the services of the well-known Duncan Campbell, who was then clerk at A. B. McNab‘s, Durham, and now clerk of the Municipality of Bentinck The trustees chose for their man a colored man by the name of John Levi. So the two arbitrators were shut in the schoolhouse for some time. when the brave Scotchman con- vinced his oponent that the building was done as near as possible, in ac- cordance to the agreement, as could be done. So the contractor Was awarded within a few dollars of the 'orignal contract. On the 16th March, 1833. the school was opened with the late John Butter, teacher. Those of us that constituted the school that morning are all yet alive, although there is quite a space between now and then. Among those who receiv- ed their first education in this school were Arch. Butter. Jas Mcharrie. John McDonald, John A. McMillan. and Norman McIntyre. of Durham. and a lot of others. who are yet to be found. The names of the teachers, who taught in the school. were John Butter. John Mcliechnie, Sr., Doug- ald Mclnnes (Bunessan). N. B. Grier, Archibald McLellan, John McNichol, John McKechniv, Jr., James McQuar- rie and Donald McDonald. This ended the career of No. ‘2, Glenelg. for part was united to No. 12. Arte- ‘mesia. and part to No. 10, Glenelg. and No 1, D. Road. Glenelg. and seperate No. 7, Pomona. In the year 1863, when Mr. McLellan was teach-1 er, the school was a small college, for' no less than four young men teachers attended school for six months. They were Messrs. John Allan and David Allan. 'I‘p. Clerk, Egremont. and Samuel Quinn of the same place. and Wm Campbell, of Latona, all beardless boys, some of them not out. of their teens. All passed success- fully at. the July examination of the same year. FARMERS! SOME OF YOU If you want Deeds, Mortgages, Lama, Wills or other writing: drawn I will do the work for you promoptlr.
