EGREMONT P. O. This is one of the oldest established Post Offices on the Garafraxa Road, dating back 20 years. It is 3 m. north of Mount Forest. Daily mails both ways. Thomas Smith, Esq., Postmaster. Mr. Smith also keeps a general stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, &c. The "Egremont House," kept by James Cringle, is a large, well known and well conducted House; kept for many years by T. Smith, the present Postmaster. There is also another tavern, Adam Fries, proprietor. Half a mile further north is Dickson's Sawmill.ELLIOT'S MILLS. Grist and Sawmill in the Township of Sullivan; lot H, third Concession. The mills are on the River Sydenham, a small stream at that place. They are 3 miles from Johntown (S. W). The Grist mill has two run of stones. Erected about 6 years ago. Peter McGillivary, Lessee.EPPING P. O. On Lot 18, Con. 8, Township of Euphrasia. It is 5 m. from Griersville, and 10 m.. from Meaford (directly South.) About 10 m. north of Eugenia. Mail to and from Walter's Falls, Griersville and Meaford every Thursday. There is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (frame) and a school house nearby. John Benson, Postmaster.EUGENIA. A town plot in the township of Artemisia, at the Falls of the Beaver River, 4 1/2 m. from Flesherton, 20 m. S. of Meaford, 26 m. from Collingwood by present route, and 35 from Owen Sound. In August, 1858, Messrs. Purdy commenced operations in Eugenia. A house was run up, a small clearing made, &c., near the brink of the Falls. The sawmill was built in 1859, and the flouring mill put in operation in 1860. The town plot consists of 800 acres. None of it except the mill plot is yet sold by the Government. A few inhabitants have taken possession of town or park lots, and some improvements have been made. In 1864, the Municipal Council of Artemisia memorialized the Crown Land Department in favour of selling the lots in Eugenia and Priceville. The people of Eugenia opposed it, as far as their town was concerned, and the "Department" took their view of the subject. Residents giving the County Crown Land Agent satisfactory proof of having built on the town lots, or made improvements to a specified extent on the Park lots, are allowed to purchase them of the Government at fixed reasonable rates. The inhabitants think this is more to the interest of the village than having the town plot sold by auction, as in the latter case a larger portion would get into the hands of absentees. The place has now outgrown its first difficulties; mills have been built, a village site cleared, roads to some extent opened out and a steady growth may reasonably be anticipated. The place was surveyed nine or ten years ago, during the Crimean War, and the names of the streets, Alma, Balaklava, Raglan, Codrington, &c., bear witness to the exciting interest of the time. The village contains a Postoffice and store, a tavern, three or four carpenters, a grist mill, a sawmill, plasterer, a painter, a boot and shoemaker, &c. There are two first class water privileges, not in use, above the Falls, in the town plot, besides the rapids below the Falls, and the Falls themselves, which latter, it is hoped, may be long unvexed with labouring wheels, to give pleasure to the lovers of the picturesque, the grand and the beautiful. The Grist Mill is 45 x 35 ft, 3 1/2 stories high, contains two run of stones, and water power and room for more. The River is very swift, and the water abundant, and "no dam" is required. The mill is a very short distance above the brink of the Falls. The sawmill is a little further up. At another excellent water privilege, a quarter of a mile above, the frame of a Woollen Factory was erected, but has not been finished. Elliott, Thomas, Boot and Shoemaker.

The feature for which Eugenia is most noted and oftenest visited, is far famed Falls of the Beaver River, known as "Artemisia" or "Eugenia" Falls. The River, a very considerable stream of clear cold water, plunges over a precipice of 7O feet, in one unbroken sweep. The view, especially from below, is sublime. The rocks are precipitous on either side, and on the Southern side a steep hill rises from the brink to a considerable height above, the falls. The descent into the wild ravine below is attended with some difficulty. We were unable, on the occasion of our last visit, to make the descent, being in mid winter. The cataract shot out, from under a jagged curtain of blue ice, and disappered in the huge crater of a rising icecone that had crept up one third the height of the falls. All was silent, majestic, and most beautifal. Adventurous visitors in summer sometimes go behind the sheet of falling waters, but it is an operation attended with difficulty, at times rather dangerous, from the blinding, and stifling force of the spray. The fall is much visited, and will amply repay a day's journey to see it. The best route from Owen Sound is by the Toronto and Sydenham Gravel Road to Flesherton. Eugenia is two miles from the nearest point on the Gravel Road, which would be three miles East of Flesherton. From Collingwood, the route would be via Singhampton and Maxwell. In either case, the best return route is by the descent of the Beaver River Valley to Meaford. The magnificence of the view will more than compensate for the newer and rougher road. R. McLean Purdy, Esq., the courteous Postmaster at Eugenia, exhibits in his Store the antlers of an immense moose, found in a chasm of the rock below the falls. The animal had probably fallen into a snow covered chasm, and perished by wolves or hunger. From tip to tip the antlers would measure when uninjured (one is complete), 4 ft. 8 in. The whole weighs, with one antler mostly gone, and the lower jaw wanting, 16 1/2 lbs., or about 30 lbs. when complete. The unbroken antler has, for the length of 16 inches, a breadth of 8 inches on its "flat"; in other words a piece 16 x 8 inches might be sawn out of one horn. Mr. Purdy also shows the curious visitor, some specimens of the "Fools' Gold" of 1852; and "thereby hangs a tale." In 1852, when the country was very new and wild, somebody thought he had discovered gold in the rocks below the falls. The secret at first was known only to two or three, or at most half a dozen; and they wrought like beavers to make their "pile" before the whole country should come flocking to the diggings, and the Government interfere with their free mining. But "murder will out," and rumours of gold seem carried by the very air; and it was not many days till another prospecting party discovered them from the brink of the precipice, hard at work in the chasm. Seeing they were discovered, they laid down their picks, and held a parley. The newcomers were anxious to be assured that it was the "real stuff," being a little doubtful on that point. "Well," said an old man, wiping the sweat from his brow, and sitting down on a very respectable pile of the purest and most glittering "rocks" he had been able to find. "Well, if it's gold, I've got enough, and if it isn't gold, I've got enough!" One adventurous waggonmaker, from the County of York, happening to be in the region, made a rush with the rest to the diggings, and soon departed homeward, several days journey through woods and bushroads, with a backbreaking load in a bag. All the way home he was resolving what use to make of his wealth. He decided on selling his shop, buying and stocking a good farm, and living in comfort the rest of his days. He got home, and before he slept kindled up his forge fire to melt down a little of the precious stuff. The catastrophe was entirely unanticipated. The sulphurious fumes and horrible stench of the vile stuff choked him, and well nigh drove him out of the premises. The harder he blew, the more horrible became the stifling fumes, till in despair he pitched the whole lot into the street! He had carried home a backload of worthless iron pyrites!EUPHRASIA TOWNSHIP. A township in the Northeastern part of the County of Grey. It is South of St. Vincent, West of Collingwood, North of Artemisia, and East of Holland. Its N.E. corner comes to within about 2 m. of Georgian Bay. None of the County gravel roads touch Euphrasia, though the improved roads pass very near its N.E. and S. W. corners. St. Vincent was surveyed in 1834; and in a few years a desire was felt to have the lands South of it opened up for settlement. The speculators, also mentioned in connection with Collingwood Township, desired to have Euphrasia surveyed, but they did not get hold of it, as they did of Collingwood. Mr. Rankin was the Surveyor. Euphasia is becoming well settled throughout. The Southern part is pretty new, but most of the lots are occupied. The soil is generally clay. Timber, hardwood-maple, elm, &c. Pine is scarce, and oak is only met 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 up about one third of the township. There are very few townships in which such distant views can be obtained as in Euphrasia. From certain points almost the whole township can be seen. There is not much stone, though some, in certain localities. Euphrasia contains 72,000 acres, and (in 1861) 1,472 inhabitants. There are no villages in the township. Post Offices-Blantyre and Epping. Churches-Wesleyan Methodist Chapel (frame), on "Fourth Line," one mile S. of Griersville. Another Wesleyan Chapel (frame) on the same Line, near Epping P. O. Canada Presbyterian Church, on 9th Line, toward the North end of the township. Episcopal Methodist Chapel, on 5th Line, in the South part of the township. Saw Mills-In the South end of the township, 5 1/2 m. from Eugenia, on "4th Line," is a Sawmill, lately erected, the property of William Purdy, of Eugenia. In the same neighbourhood, on 5th Concession, is a Sawmill belonging to Mr. John Hurlburt. George Reid's Sawmill is on Lot 25, in 7th Concession. There are no flouring or other mills. Cencus Reports-In 1861 the number of occupiers of land is set down at 245. Of these, 27 occupied from 20 to 50 acre each; 168 from 50 to 100 acres each; and 38 from 100 to 200 acres each. 6,521 acres were reported as under cultivation. Fall wheat, 5,130 bushels; Spring wheat, 40,642 bushels; Barley, 2,218 bushels; Pease, 10,848 bushels; Oats, 13,407 bushels; Potatoes, 29,821 bushels; Turnips, 44,373 bushels. Grass seeds, 880 bushels; Hay, 1,307 tons; Maple Sugar, 11,078 lbs.; Wool, 2,730 lbs.; Butter; 22,668 lbs.; Pork, 395 barrels. Township Officers-Reeve, James Kerr (Heathcote P. O.) Councillors- S. McNaught, George Black, James Patterson, N. Currie. Clerk, R. Dunlop (Griersville P. O.) Treasurer, R. Johnston (Griersville P. O.) Magistrates-James Kerr, Hugh Abercrombie, Nathaniel Currie, James Patterson, Benjamin Parker, James Stitt, George Reid, Jos. Boyd, Samuel Snelgrove, Robert Dunlop, Alexander Purdy, Robert Gilray.

O., 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 be one of the best in the County. Fensom, John, Proprietor Grist and Sawmills. Fensom (Messrs. Richard, George and James), Lessees of Mills.FEVERSHAM. A thriving little village in the township of Osprey, a little N.W. of the centre of the township, situated on the upper waters of the Beaver River. It is 1 1/2 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, 3 1/2 m. from Maxwell, 12 from Flesherton, 42 from Owen Sound, and 27 from Durham. Feversham was not a Government Townplot, but began to grow into shape six years ago, when the late Edward Horton Esq., laid out a portion of his property into lots. Mr. Horton built the Grist and Sawmills in 1860. The Flouring 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 privileges at Feversham. The River here is a consideble stream, yet of a very manageble size for milling purposes. It runs between precipitous rocky banks of about 20 ft. in height, having as it were cut its way through. The river is quite rapid, and a short distance below the village forms pretty cascade of 6 or 8 feet. The Mills are now the property of Arthur McRoberts, Esq. The village contains a Postoffice, 2 Stores, a School House, 2 Churches, both frame buildings; Grist mill, Sawmill, Tavern, Cabinet Maker, Tailor and Carpenter. In the Canada Presbyterian Church, there are religious 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 Feversham, and a flourishing Temple of the Independent Order of Good Templars. Mails, Monday and Friday. Brownell, Rev. D.

A growing village near the centre of the Township of Artemisia, at the intersection of the "Toronto and Sydenham" and Durham and Collingwood Gravel Roads. A few years ago, W. K. Flesher, Esq., for some years Reeve of the Township and Warden of the County, laid out a portion of his property in village lots, and named the place "Flesherton," by which name it is generally known, though the post office is still known by the original name "Artemisia." Had the other owners of property co-operated with Mr. Flesher, the place would doubtless have been larger by this date. Until the Gravel Road was opened up, there was little at "Flesher Corners" but the two taverns, and a sawmill not now in existence. After the gravelling of the two intersecting Roads, the place began rapidly to improve. The Sawmill, the fulling mill, the stores, &c., are all the result of the last two or three years. The village has a postoffice, 3 stores, 2 taverns, several carpenters, a pump-maker, a blacksmith shop, a Sawmill, a carding and fulling mill, 2 churches, 2 resident clergymen, and a resident physician. It is 5 m. from Priceville, 37 m. from Orangeville, 30 m. to Owen Sound, and 30 m. to Collingwood Harbor. The Postoffice was first established about 12 years ago, at the first settlement of the "Toronto Line." J. P. Fowler is the present Postmaster. Mails daily to and from Collingwood and Durham; on Wednesdays and Saturdays to and from Chatsworth; on Mondays and Thursdays to Orangeville, and on Tuesdays and Fridays from Orangeville. A section of the Township Library is kept in the village, W. K. Flesher, Librarian. There is at present no Grist Mill in the villge, though one is contemplated, and partially erected. There is a very large traffic through the village, setting Eastward toward Collingwood. The Mill stream is small, a tributary of the Beaver River, sometimes called "Boyne Water." The N. C. Methodist and Wesleyan Churches are both frame buildings; the latter was erected in 1864. Ainsley, Julius, Farmer. Bonnar, Dr. D., Associate Coroner, &C., boards Jones' Hotel.

It was the Ultima Thule of civilization in that direction. Before that date, Lewis Burwell, Esq., afterward of Brantford, had been sent up to lay out some townships at the head waters of the Grand River; and in the year mentioned Charles Rankin, Esq., now of Owen Sound, was directed to carry a line through to the waters of Owen Sound; He started from Garafraxa near Fergus; through what is now the townships of Peel and Arthur, to the present site of Mount Forest. Here dropping the formal survey, he explored the route Northward. In 1840, the line was opened out in a fashion-a few necessary removals of logs and small trees made. In 1841, a new survey of the line was made by Mr. McDonald, of Goderich. The new line is the one now used. The variations between the two were not very important. The first horse team that ever came through was in the summer of 1842, driven by a person named Boulton. The road began to get better after the "grant lots" were pretty well taken up along it, and settlers had occasion to travel it. From about the year 1848 it became an important highway to the Northern Townships, though a bad enough road at certain seasons. Within the last four years it has been gravelled from below Arthur all the way to Owen Sound. It has always been called in the County of Grey the "Garafraxa Road," from the circumstances of its first survey. But in the County of Wellington it is spoken of as the "Owen Sound Road." (See also "Owen Sound to Durham and Mount Forest," and the article "Maitland.")GEORGIAN BAY, or LAKE MANITOU. This beautiful sheet of water is in the Northwestern part of the inhabited portion of Upper Canada, and lies between 40 deg. 30 min. and 46 deg. North latitude, and 80 to 81 deg. 30 min. West longitude. In its longest direction (N. W. and S. E.), it is 120 m. long, with a pretty uniform breadth of 50 m. It comprises, therefore, 6,000 square miles of water exclusive of the long, landlocked channel North of the Manitoulin Islands, known as the North Channel, which is 150 miles long, and contains 1,700 square miles. Name.-It is much to be regretted that the old name, familiar both to the French traders and Indians of former days-Lake Manitou-(the "lake of the Great Spirit") should be now almost disused. It is, perhaps, not yet too late to remedy this want of taste, and restore to the lake its proper name; and as "Frontenac" has within the last fifty years been entirely supplanted by "Ontario," the Algonquin name for the lowest in our chain of the Great Lakes, we may hope that the insipid "Georgian Bay" will gradually give way to the more vigorous and appropriate name conferred by the Indians, who deemed its waters and islands sacred to the Great Spirit. "Georgian Bay" was so renamed after the Province came into the hands of the British, out of compliment to George III. Discovery and Exploration-Samuel de Champlain, Governor of Canada, was probably the first white man who ever sailed over the deep waters of Georgian Bay. Having, between 1603 and 1607, explored the St. Lawrence as far as Three Rivers, and discovered and explored Lake Champlain in 1609; and having already founded Quebec (3rd July, 1608), he bethought him of a great Western exploring tour in 1615. He ascended the Ottawa and reached Lake Nipissing by the portages, and descended the French River to its mouth. His expedition was not altogether a peaceful one. He was in league with the Algonquins, Hurons, Ojibways, and Eries, and virtually at war with the Iroquois and all their English and Indian allies. He had several encounters with the Iroquois. He found the Hurons in possession of the Northern and Eastern coasts and the Islands of the Lake, having been driven thither with great slaughter by the victorious Iroquois half a century before. In fact their "star of empire" westward was only fully checked by the great battle at Point Iroquois, on Lake Superior, in 1564, where the Iroquois "Six Nations" (then, however, only five nations), were utterly defeated by the Ojibways, aided by the fugitive Hurons. We have no trace of the inhabitants on the shores of Georgian Bay anterior to the Hurons and the Petuns. The latter occupied the Saugeen Peninsula but were driven out by the Six Nations in 1650, and fled to Missouri. The Huron tradition is that they came down from the North and spread themselves on the shores of the Upper Lakes, before the discovery of America-about 1450. From the time of Champlain, Georgian Bay was little visited, except by traders aud Indians. Jesuit missionaries early established themselves on its shores. As early as the year of Champlain's first visit, a Recollet Father preached to the Indians at Matchedash Bay. In fact, Champlain brought Jesuit missionaries with him, who could either preach or fight, as occasion seemed to require. More than a century ago a flourishing mission existed on the largest of the group now known as the Christian Islands. Some small stone ruins of their buildings are still visible. The mission was ruined by the victorious and implacable Iroquois, then in the height of their power, and it is said some of the converts were tortured to death; whence the Hurons, and their friends the Ojibways, have ever since called the group "THE CHRISTIANS' ISLANDS." Shortly before the breaking out of the American Revolution when Sir William Johnston was virtual Dictator among the Indians of North America, a Grand Council was called; and as all the tribes were then at peace, delegates came from all quarters. Among others, a deputation came down Georgian Bay from the north Shores, landed at Cape Rich, struck across, to Christian Islands, ascended the Severn River, crossed Lake Simcoe, descended probably the Trent, crossed the foot of Lake Ontario, and ascended the Oswego River to the place of meeting, among the lakes of N. York. During the war of 1812, a small Naval depot was established at Penetanguishene on the Eastern shores of Georgian Bay. In 1817 Lieut. (afterwards Admiral) Bayfield, having already assisted Capt. Owen for two years in the exploration of the Lakes, became an Admiralty Surveyor, and was appointed to the survey of Erie and Huron, incuding Georgian Bay. He spent six years in this work; and the accuracy of his charts is a theme of wonder and congratulation to the present day to all navigators. Its Navigation.-When the settlements first began on the South shores of Georgian Bay, the only vessels navigating its waters were occasional trading schooners among the Islands, gathering furs, feathers, cranberries, maple sugar, fish, &c. from the Indians, and giving them manufactures in return. One of these, the "Wanderer" of Coldwater; McGregor, master, is noted in the annals of Owen Sound as the first vessel that is known to have called at the port. The "Fly," W. C. Boyd, owner-the "St. Joseph's," Messrs. McNab, owners-the "Anne Brown," George Brown, owner-the "Eliza White," Messrs. Stephens, owners- all of Owen Sound, and the "Ann," of Meaford, kept up, till 1845, communication between the S. W. shores of the Lake and Penetanguishene and Coldwater, from whence communication was had with Lake Simcoe and Toronto. In 1843 a little Government Steamer looked into Owen Sound; but it was not till 1845 that any regular running steam vessel appeared. In that year Chas. Thompson, Esq., brought on the Steamer "Gore," which made regular weekly trips from Penetanguishene, to Owen Sound and Sault Ste Marie, up to 1851. In 1852, the fine Steamer "Belle," intended to replace the "Gore", was wrecked on Cape Croker. The "Detroit," the "Telegraph," the "Kaloolah," the "Ploughboy," the "Rescue," the "Algoma," the "Bruce" and the "Georgian," have, at different times, and for longer or shorter periods, run on the same route though latterly Collingwood has become the first port of departure, instead of Penetanguishene. In the winter of 1854-5, the Northern Railway was finished to Collingwood; and in the latter part of May, 1855, the "Louisiana," the pioneer Steamer of the Chicago line, arrived at Collingwood. The line consisted at first of four large sidewheel Steamers. Afterward a line of propellors was substituted; but for two or three years past the Company have ceased to subsidize or employ steamers at a loss, and the communication with Chicago has been mainly kept up by large Schooners which come down with cereals and take back lumber. Since 1855 a daily Steamer has plied between Collingwood and Owen Sound, calling at Meaford and Cape Rich. The "Mazeppa," the "Oxford," the "Canadian" and the "Clifton," have, at various times, been employed on this service. General Aspect, Depth, Islands, &c.-Georgian Bay is 578 feet above the level of the sea, there being no difference between it and Lake Huron. It is 800 feet deep in the wider parts. Its great depth accounts for the coldness of its waters, on which the summer sun seems to have little influence. Its chief entrance is between isle of Coves (on the N. point of which is a first class revolving light) and Fitzwilliam Island, or rather the small Yeo Island, S. of the latter. The channel is six miles wide. There are three islands at the mouth of Colpoy's Bay, Griffeths Island (on E. point of which is a Lighthouse), White Cloud, and Hay Islands; in the Eastern part of the Lake, Christian island, Beckwith I., Hope I., Pr. Wm. Henry I., Parry I., the Western Isles, the Limestone Islands; and many thousands of small granite Islands, lining the coast and filling the Inlets, from Penetanguishene to the French River. This latter part of the coast is utterly worthless for Agricultural purposes. From 10 to 20 m. inland, the land grows a little better. It is uninhabited, except at two or three lumbering Stations, where Sawmills are erected. In the North and Northwestern part of the Lake are Lonely, Club, Squaw, Halfmoon, Fitzwilliam, Cove, Bear's Rump, and Flower Pot Islands, and others of less importance. In the North Channel are others, some of which are of several miles extent. The County of Grey occupies by far the larger portion of the south shore. The shores of the Saugeen Peninsula, bordering on Georgian Bay, are generally "bold," a rocky escarpment, facing the East, following the bend of the shore, with generally a narrow wooded slope between the cliff and the water. The Eastern shores of the Lake present a granite formation. There are many valuable fisheries in Georgian Bay. The Fisheries at Collingwood, Cape Rich and Vail's Point, are those conducted on the largest scale. At many of the Islands in the Northern part, much fishing is done. As the restriction on taking lakefish at certain seasons, do not extend to the Lake Huron waters, Georgian Bay fish are in much request at times when fishing is prohibited in Lakes Erie and Ontario. Georgian Bay is justly celebrated for its clear bracing air and beautiful scenery. A trip from Collingwood or Owen Sound through the North Channel, to Sault Ste. Marie, presents some of the finest lake and island scenery that can be imagined; and most of the way in sheltered water. The route is becoming fashionable; but the public have not been as well provided for in the matter of good accommodation with the proper kind of boats as they or the route deserved. The opening of the "Georgian Bay Canal," or the "Ottawa Canal," or in process of time of both those great works, will make this Northern Lake a most important link in the great Marine Highway to the mighty West. And, contrasting what LAKE MANITOU is now, with what it was twenty years ago, when its blue waters were scarcely ploughed by a single keel, it is difficult to predict what twenty more years may not do for it.GLANDORE MILLS. Situated on Lot 32, in the 2nd Con. of Melancthon, 6 1/2 m. directly south of Singhampton, 6 1/2 m. North of Horning's Mills, and 1 1/2 m. from Osprey P. O. The mill was first put in operation in 1861. One run of stones at present, but it is intended to put in another run. The building is frame, 56 x 30 feet, and 4 stories in height. It is often called, after the name of the Proprietor, "Plewes' Mill." Waterpower is supplied by a fork of the Mad River, which falls into the main stream a little above Cremore. PLEWES, WILLIAM, Proprietor Glandore Mills. Plewes, John, Miller. Reed, William, Millwright.GLASCOTT P. O. A Postoffice in the Township of Glenelg, 5 m. East of Garafraxa Road, at Griffin's Corners, and on the Road leading from the Garafraxa Road through the north part of Glenelg to Cornabuss, on the Toronto Line. It is 7 m. from the latter place, 13 m. from Durham, and 25 m. from Owen Sound. The P. O. was established in 1863. Mail every Saturday to and from Latona P. O., on Garafraxa Road. John English, Postmaster.GLENELG FALLS. These are the Falls of the "Rocky Saugeen" River, in Glenelg, about the centre of the Township. The river, a pretty and swift flowing stream, becomes very rapid, and then plunges over the rocks in a perpendicular fall of 16 feet. The cascade is considered very pleasing. There is a Sawmill near the property of H. Rowswell. Esq., of Durham. Glenelg Falls are 8 m. N. E. of Durham, 2 m. up the stream from Chaffey's Mills, and about 3 E. of the Garafraxa Road.GLENELG P. O. (See "Latona") GLENELG TOWNSHIP. The Township of Glenelg lies somewhat central in the County, having Holland on the north, Artemisia on the East, Egremont on the South, and Bentinck on the West. It was settled about the same time as the central and Southern Townships of Grey, viz.: about the year 1850, and received an unusual proportion of immigrants from Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. The names of reidents will show this fact. At elections, the Returning Officers have often to invent distinctive appellations for several persons of the same name who come forward to vote. In population, Glenelg stood third in the County at the Census of 1861, being set down at 3,065. The first settlements were on the several roads touching or running through the township, on which "free grants" were made by the Government. The reader is referred to "Durham," "Garafraxa", and "Toronto" Roads for further information regarding them. Glenelg was surveyed by John Stoughton Dennis, Esq., P. L. S. in 1850. The land is generally rolling. Many of the farms are yet far from being cleared up. The Western part of the township, along the Garafraxa Road, is pretty stony, an almost universal feature on this Road but not so much so elsewhere in the township. The survey of the township, on account of the three Roads above named, shows no fewer than four "first," "second" and "third" Concessions; so that in the list which follows, we have been obliged to keep these four Systems distinct to avoid the multiplication of initial letters to distinguish thc different surveys-a thing very puzzling to a person consulting the work to find someones locality. There are Postoffices at Durham, Latona, Glascott, Pomona, and Cornabuss. There are three Sawmills on the "Rocky Saugeen", Travis's, Rowswell's, and Chaffey's.

A small village in the Southern part of the Township of St. Vincent, 5 m. South of Meaford, 24 m. from Owen Sound, 5 m. N. W. of Williamstown, 8 m. E. of Walter's Falls, 1/2 m. N. of the Town Line of Euphrasia, and is 15 m. N. of Eugenia. The village has a Postoffice, store, tavern, Tannery, a waggon and Agricultural Implement shop, blacksmith's shop, weaver, and shoemaker. There is a very tasteful and commodious stone school house, finished in 1864. On Sabbaths it is used for Divine worship by the Anglican and Presbyterian denominations once in two weeks by each; and occasionly by other bodies. Griersville was so named by Messrs. James and Andrew Grier, who own the village site, and reside there. It is on a well travelled road, between Meaford and Eugenia, and where the road to Williamstown comes in. Mails Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, to and from Meaford; on Thursday to and from Epping; and on Tuesday and Saturday to and from Blantyre and Walter's Falls. There are some excellent farms in the neighbourhood of Griersville. Mr. Wilson's Hotel affords very comfortable accommodation for travellers. Half a mile S., on the Town Line of Euphrasia, on very elevated ground, is a frame Chapel belonging to the Wesleyan Methodists. Black, Donald, Farmer. Brinkman, William, Boot and Shoe Maker.

E. point of the Township of Keppel, and somewhat in front of the entrance to Colpoy's Bay. It is Indian territory, the title never having been acquired by the Government. No Indians, however, reside on it, except occasionally in the summer. About seven years ago the Government built a very excellent lighthouse on the Eastern front of the island, the blocks for which (white "Dolomite"), were obtained from the cliffs West of Owen Sound town. The land on the island is elevated and well covered with timber. Some swamps are said to exist on the table-land; but the island is little visited, and only about the shores. The Indians have a tradition that all the three islands were once connected with each other and with Cape Croker peninsula. We can say nothing as to the truth of this by hypothesis; for the old Indians, whose boyhood learned it from their grandfathers, can give us nothing more than the assertion of the doubtful fact. The water is, however, by no means deep between White Cloud and Hay islands; and when we remember what has been done in our own day at Long Point and Toronto-islands being made where formerly there were none, it is not impossible that a century or two ago it may have been the case.GRIFFIN'S CORNERS. A hamlet on the Garafraxa Road, 9 m. N. of Durham, and 19 m. S. of Owen Sound. Mr. B. Griffin, of Durham, kept a Tavern and Store here for many year-hence the name. Latona is the nearest P. O.; about 2 m. South. There is an Inn by T. Ready, a Store, and a Blacksmith's Shop. In the immediate vicinity is a Presbytenan Church, as also a Roman Catholic Church; both log.

West of Durham and 7 m. East of Walkerton; on the County line between Grey and Bruce, and partially in the latter County. The Townships of Bentinck and Brant, between which Hanover lies, contain many German settlers, and Hanover is largely composed of German households. The main stream of the Saugeen River runs with a Westerly course, a quarter of a mile or so North of the village. The mills are the property of H. P. Adams, Esq., and were built about nine years ago. They consist of a Grist and Flouring Mill with two run of stones; a Sawmill, and a Carding and Fulling Mill. The milldam and the dwelling house of the proprietor are on the Bentinck side, and the mills are on the Brant side of the road. After the mills had been built a year or two, Mr. Adams, A. Z. Gottwals, Esq., and the Messrs. Hahn, and others, laid out portions of their property in village lots. This was in 1857. There was already a Tavern, Postoffice and store. The name Hanover was bestowed by the Post Office Department. "Adamsville," and other names were suggested, but the Post-Office officials have always on hand a large array of borrowed, original, and especially of ill-sounding names, and on the slightest provocation throw one at the Post-Office that has not been fortunate enough to select a name claimed by no one else, and as short as it ought to be. "Hanover," however, is appropriate enough for a British-German village, and is not far away from "Hahnover," the name proposed by the Messrs. Hahn. The place wears a thriving appearance. There are three well-stocked Merchant Shops; a somewhat extensive Foundry; four Hotels; a Brewery; the mills already mentioned, the new Cabinet factory of Mr. Crispin, the machinery of which is driven by a small stream winding through the village; 3 Waggon Makers, 4 Blacksmiths' shops, 6 Churches, 3 resident Clergymen, a Physician, &C., &C. An Orange Hall is used for School purposes at present. Average attendance of resident pupils, 58; The Foundry was established in 1863; it turns out ploughs, kettles, stoves, &c. The population is about 400, and increasing. Mails to and from Durham, Walkerton, Kincardine, &c., daily. Elmwood and Carlshrue Post Offices, (in Co. Bruce), are also supplied from Hanover. The Southern fork of the Saugeen (the "Maitland," of former days), falls into the main stream 1/4 mile East of the "Corners." These streams afford ample scope for trout fishing, and Hanover for several past seasons has been much visited by Anglers from a distance. They could not get a pleasanter place to put up at.

It is situated in the valley of the Beaver River, and the stream runs through the village. The river is placid in its course through the village, but there are some mill privileges (unemployed) in the immediate neighbourhood. There is at present no machinery at Williamstown; and the place is not apparently as progressive as was anticipated for it a few years ago. Still, from the fine settlement round it, it must in time become a place of business. Almost the only buildings erected for the last five years have been in the way of Churches and Halls; and these, for so small a place, are very creditable. There is a new Presbyterian Church (Rev. John Gould, of Thornbury, Minister), and a new Episcopal Church (Rev. J. Hutchinson, of Meaford, Minister), scarcely yet finished. We note also a neat Episcopal Methodist Church, a Friends' Meeting House, and an Orange Hall (frame). In the village is a Postoffice (Division Court office in same building), two Stores, a Tavern, a Blacksmith, Shoe maker, &C. At the Postoffice is kept a Section of the Township Library of Collingwood. The village is a sort of "headquarters" for summer tourists, who come to fish for speckled trout in the far-famed Beaver River. The stream may be waded and fished for miles in either direction. Mail on Tuesday and Saturday, to and from Thornbury. "Heathcote" is the name of the Postoffice, and will probably quite supersede "Williamstown," especially as the latter name is already applied to a Post-town in Glengarry. It is 10 m. S.E. of Meaford, 5 m. E. of Griersville, 5 m. W. of Thornbury, 3 1/2. W. of Clarksburg, 17 m. from Collingwood, and 29 m. from Owen Sound. Bradbury, Luke, Boot and Shoemaker.
