TILSONBURG
(P. O., DEREHAM)
A post village of the township of Dereham, situated on the
Otter Creek, and on the Ingersoll and Port Burwell gravel road,
distant from Woodstock 25 miles, from Ingersoll 15 miles, from
Vienna 14 miles, and from Port Burwell about 18 miles. Lumber
is the principal business of the place, in which there is a very
extensive trade, and by the facilities afforded by the Otter Creek
for propelling machinery and rafting lumber and timber to Port Burwell,
Tilsonburg enjoys the largest trade in this branch of business of
any other point in the County. Its general business consists of
ten or twelve general stores, several saw and grist mills, a planing mill,
foundry and machine shop, sash, blind, and door factory, pump factory,
two washing machine factories, a shingle factory, and two turning shops,
tannery, with shops of the various mechanical trades, such as carriage
makers, cabinet makers, carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, &c.,
and butchers and bakers. There are two hotels. The legal, medical
and other professions are also well represented. The village
likewise contains two churches, and one large common school, besides
two private ones. It is favorably situated for business, and from the
excellent hydraulic power which it possesses, sites are available for
other mills and factories. Coal oil has recently been discovered in
the neighborhood, and wells sunk, and it is expected that ere long the
oil business will become a remunerating and staple one in the district.
The village is rapidly progressing in growth and commercial importance.
There is a weekly newspaper published in it, issued every Thursday
morning, and having a good circulation, of which T. A. McNamara is
the editor and proprietor. There are daily stages from Ingersoll and
Port Burwell. Mails daily. Population about 850.

WOODSTOCK
Is the County Town and Judicial seat of the County of Oxford.
It was incorporated as a town by Act of Parliament 19 and 20
Victoria, cap. 98 (date of incorporation, 1st January, 1857,)
with the following corporate limits, viz:
"Commencing on the northerly limit of Dundas street, at a point where
a post has been planted at the south-west angle of lot number 18,
in the 1st concession of the township of Blandford; thence in a
northerly direction along the western boundary of the said lot,
to the allowance for road between the first and second concessions
of the said township of Blandford; thence continuing the same course
to the northerly limit of the said road allowance; thence westerly
along the said northerly limit to the river Thames; thence in
continuation of the last mentioned course, across the said river
to the water's edge, on the westerly bank thereof, to a point
opposite the southerly bank of Cedar creek; thence along the
water's edge of Cedar creek, on the southern side thereof, to the
eastern limit of the allowance for road between lot number 21 in
the first concession of the township of East Oxford, and the Gore
between East and West Oxford: thence southerly along the said
eastern limit to the southern limit of the allowance for road
between the first and second Concessions of the said towmship
of East Oxford; thence easterly along the said southern limit to
a point opposite to the centre of lot number 18 in the first
concession of the said township; thence on a line equi-distant
from the eastern and western side lines of the said lot number 18,
on a course about north 15 degrees 40 minutes west, to Dundas street;
thence continuing the same course to northern limit of Dundas
street; and thence westerly along the northern limit of Dundas
street to the place of beginning."
This town is one of the municipalities of the North Riding of
Oxford, of which it also forms electorally a part. It is
situated on an elevated land contiguous to and parallel with
the Great Western Railway, and on the borders of the river
Thames and Cedar creek, distant from Hamilton 48 miles, from
Niagara Suspension Bridge 91 miles, from Paris 19 miles, and
from London, C. W., 29 miles. It has a fine healthy location,
and is the centre of a rich agricultural country, unsurpassed
for beauty of landscape and fertility of soil, being
surrounded by well stocked farms, tilled in a superior
style, with farm buildings of the most improved description,
while the villa-like residences of the respective owners betoken
wealth and refined taste. It has increased in population during
the last ten years by one thousand two hundred and fifteen, its
nunber according to the census returns of 1861 being three
thousand three hundred and twenty-seven, (one thousand, six hundred
and forty three males, and one thousand six hundred and eighty
four females), and that of 1851, two thousand one hundred and twenty one.
Manufactures of various kinds and general commerce, but more
particularly the buying, selling, and forwarding of wheat,
form the principal business of the place. Its general
business comprises numerous stores-wholesale and retail-
workshops of the various branches of mechanical industry.
Especial mention may be made of the Woodstock Iron Works,
established in 1842, and owned and carried on by H. P. Brown,
where stoves, threshing machines, plows, cultivators, mill
gearing, tin and sheet iron ware, are manufactured, and
material turned out of the annual value of $30,000. In this
establishment there is a 10 horse power engine in operation,
and 18 men employed. The Vulcan Iron Foundry, of which Copp and Brother
are proprietors, (who have also a large wholesale and retail
stove and tin establishment in Hamilton), is another very
extensive establishment, with a 13-horse power engine,
employing 24 men, and melting about 300 tons of iron per annum.
This firm manufactures Stoves, agricultural implements, tin and
sheet-iron ware. There is also a magnificent brick-buiit steam
grist and flouring mill, five stories in height, erected at a
cost of $40,000, and carried on by Eaton & Wood. It was set in
operation in 1856, and is celebrated in the New York market
for its superior brand of flour; it is capable of
maufacturing 250 barrels of flour per day. Henry Frizelle
owns and carries on a steam grist and flouring mill, situated
on Dundas street, East Woodstock, where he manufactures 100
barrels a day. Another mill, by Clarke & Co., turns out 50
barrels a day. There is likewise an extensive barrel and stave
factory, owned by Thomas J. Clark. In the manufacture of
leather, Brown & Wilson, have a very extensive tannery,
situated near Cedar creek on Mill street; this firm have been
doing business over twenty years. Lately they suffered a very
heavy loss by the destruction of their prenmises by fire. New
buildings are, however, now erected. Another tannery is carried
on by Wm. Wilson, on Burtch street, East Woodstock, who is doing
a large business. There is also a Patent Medicine factory,
of which Robert Stark, chemist and druggist, is proprietor,
where $50,000 worth of medicine is annually manufactured. Also
a large wholesale and retail book and paper warehouse, and
extensive blsnk book manufactory and general book-bindery on
Dundas street, West-End, and another bindery establishment on
Graham street. In the immediate neighborhood of the town and
on the London and Hamilton road, there is the best oil refinery
in the Province, owned and carried on by the following gentlemen
as a firm: Jordan Charles, James Kintrea, and William Spencer,
turning out 400 barrels of refined oil per week. There is also
an extensive brewery carried on by S. Collins. The principal
buildings of the town are of brick. It possesses an excellent
Town Hall with Market House underneath, and surmounted by a
belfry and Weather guage.
The Courts of Law are held in a large and commodious building
situated on Hunter street, and the offices of the County Clerk,
County Court, and Deputy Clerk of the Crown, and Division Court
Clerk are in the same building. Close to the Court house, and
located on the corner of Light and Hunter streets, is the
Registry office for the County and County Treasurer's office,
built at an expense of $3,200. In rear of the Court House is the
new jail erected in 1854-5, at a cost of $26,000; during the last
year an additional expenditure of $6,000 was made toward its improvement
and more comfortable accommodation. The town also contains
seven churches, viz: one Church of England, one Presbyterian,
in connection with the established church of Scotland, three
Presbyterian, formed of the union of the Free Church of Scotland
and original United Presbyterian, one Wesleyan Methodist, one
Regular Baptist, and a Roman Catholic Church, whose services are
conducted in the Town Hall, pending the erection of their new church.
The Canadian Literary Institute is located at the east end of
the town, and has a very pleaant site on a rising ground,
commanding splendid scenic views. It is a noble structure,
(reflecting great credit on its architect, David White,)
of three wings or compartments, surmounted by a handsome
dome, having five large entrance doors, spacious halls and
school rooms, with comfortable and well ventilated dormitories
for the resident pupils, together with ample play grounds
and all the "means and appliances to boot," for their healthy
recreation and amusement. With the great advantages which it
possesses coupled with the efficiency of its staff of Professors
and Teachers, this educational establishment is rendered one of
the best scholastic institutions in the western part of the Province.
The present structure has been but recently built, and on the site of
the original one, which was erected at a cost of about $30,000,
but which was destroyed by a disastrous fire in January, 1861.
The Institute is under the control of the Regular Baptist
denomination. It has three different departments, viz;
Primary, Higher, and Theological, the average attendance on
which, consists of fully 100 students. The Primary school is
attended by pupils over eleven years of age, who study the
various branches of an ordinary English education. In the Higher
Department, the students are prepared for the study of Theology,
or, for matriculation in Arts, Law, or Medicine. The fees for
attendance in these departments vary from $20 to $28 per year.
In the Theological Departmemmt, attended by about 30 students,
the tuition is gratis.
Woodstock is a chief Station of the Great Western Railway.
Stages run from the Town north, south, east and west.
