An- -.__other"n,a`me which` should . not - be omitted, though no family bearing -it remains, is that of Thomas Mairs who rst introduced the breed of short-horn: cattle into this country, thus doing more than any other in- dividual of his time in promoting the development of agriculture. _ In `the year 1830 my father, .the late _Edward George 0"Brien, then living in the Township of Vaughan, at- tracted by the glowing reports of I to settle upon itseshore, and was ap- pointed by Sir John Colborne, then Governor of Upper Canada, to look after the settlement of ~Oro. Grants of land in proportion to their rank were offered to half-pay ofcers, both of the army and of the navy, who were willing` to become actual settlers, and many took advantage of the offer. Few of them, however, were qualied to endure the labor- ious toil and the many privations incidental to` the life of a settler in the bush, and by degrees they left the country till but very few re- mained. But though their enter- prise proved of little or no benet to themselves it was of great bene- t to the country.` The money ex- of immense advantage in providing work for the poorer immigrants, thus enabling ` of 5 their own land became sufcient to maintain them. Many a family of ` now opulent farmers got its rst L start in life by the money earned in l . which would not otherwise have ex- working for those who had some- thing to spend, and generally were more willing to spend than they they were prudent in their outlay . It was an undoubted advantage that there` were, among the early set- tlers, so many men and women of education and refinement who, by precept and example, maintained al uct standard of manners and cond isted, and which did not exist where these elements of civilization were absent, andthough few settlers of thispclass remained upon their lands they were not lost to the country. Of those who in subsequent years took a leading part in publicaairs many were the `sons of men who, full of hope and enterprise, spent the best of their years, and the chief of their substance, as settlers in the back-woods. Let one example suf- ce: C`apt. Steele of the Royal Navy, one of the settlers of this class, made a home in the Township of Medonte, then a trackless forest. He afterwards represented this County in the Assembly of Upper Canada. Of his sons, one was for many years Reeve of Oro, and after- wards 'Warden of the County, and still lives amongst+-us esteemed and respected.

The for- mer settled in the Eastern part of the township where young and our- ishing families of. `Shaws, Leighs and Hodges, and others bearing English names, are still to be found. T he Highlanders took up their land in- the central and .N'orthern parts of the township where their descend_- ants, bearing the namesof many pil- lustrious clans," still these last named immigrants all were able to -speak, and did speak among themselves, the A Gaelic ton- gue. A few of the 1 older `people knew no other and `continued to speak it to the end of their days. In`deedi-a't is not many years si(Ii1_ce IS- continued in one of their churches.

West through the township are sev- -eral cedar swamps the water from which ultimately nds its way into Lake .Simcoe_. These swamps, in which the- water is never stagnant, and therefore not unhealthy, inter- fered very of the roads going North and South, and for many years it was very dif- cult to have any communication between thensettlers in the central and Southern parts of, the township. The Penetanguishene road formed the chief outlet for the settlers in the North and West of the town- ship, and from it Easterly the rst roads were opened. The mail route to Orillia and that by which most of the travel passed was from White s Corners, now Dalston, to the townline of Orillia Township. Along the lake shore the Ridge Road running along the gravelly ridge already spoken of was a road opened by the settlers for their own convenience, fty feet in width, and quite independent of the Govern- ment road allowances. It was open- the pre- T ed as far as what is now the village p through the bush. _at of Hawkestone but was for years little better than Later it was re- gularly surveyed, and established as present, and by degrees was made many I one of the best roads in the town- L ship.

In summer water, and in winter snow, gave the chief means of communication with the outer world, and also between the chief` places of business, Barrie and Orillia. To reach Toronto the traveller in `summer took the steam- er at its various places of call, and was thence conveyed to Holland Landing. A night was spent there, andisome time in the following day, according to` the state of the roads, the stage coach set him down in the metropolis of `Upper Canada. The calling places for the steamer in this township were Shanty Bay and Hodges, now the ourishing village of I-lawkestone. In `winter the ice formed the best road ;across the lake. Sleighs coming down the Pen- etanguishene road crossed the bay at Kempenfeldt,landing on the `South side near Tollendal andithence mak- ing a short cut through the woods III. to the Innisl Road, the highway tor the South. From any part of Oro this would be a two days journey, but from'Barrie, when the sleighing was good, the drive of sixty miles was often accomplished in one day. With the growth of population` some small villages, having the tra-. ditional, foundation of a post ofce, store and blacksmith shop, came in- to existe_ncce-such as Edgar, Rug- by, Hawkestone and Shanty Bay.

Substantial brick dwellings took the place of the frame or log house which in. turn had supplanted the original shanty. Gardens were made, orch- ards planted, and a general aspect of tidiness and thrift prevailed. In short, the Township of Oro, once regarded, in spite of its name, as one of the poorest and most back- ward in the County, has become second to none in regard either to the beauty of its situation, the fer- tility of its soil, the excellence of its cultivation, or the comfort and pros- perity of its people. ' Among the early settlers there was an unruly element which gave some work to the magistrates. A good deal of drinking prevailed, especially among the older men, and the means of ed- ucation for the young people were limited.

Where Meth- odists predominated no time was ulost in erecting places of worship, and holding services wherever a congregation could be assembled. 1.. L4,.

Yet in the minds of some, at least, of those entering upon a new life, under entirely new condi- tions, and amidst entirely new sur- roundings, there must have been a rising of new'hopes and new aspira- tions, a new sense of freedom, a. feeling that here was a life worth living, a goal worth striving for. In the years that followed many may have been the disappointed hopes, the unfullled expectations, the un- gratied desires, but, in the main, that success was achieved we have for. testimony the happy homes, the smiling elds, and the signs every- where of life passed in the enjoy- ment of material comfort and men- tal =activity. `Such as first told was Uthe .zTownship of Oro in the early 1 days, and such as now described is L th_e;.Townsh_ip of Oro to-day.
