This was vot, as some assume, an Indian centre. It was simply visited for the purpose of hunting. The coil was good, the fishing excellent and the forest which covered the whole sec- tion abounded in large and small game.

Who where those western pioneers ? The names are familiar ones, their numer- ous decendants to-day, bearing them with honeet pride. They were: Joseph Des Roches, Josep! Ricbard, Jacques Chaisson, Pierre Arsenauit, Pierre Poirier, Basile Poirier, Germain DesRoches and Gregoire Bernard, In the following year came Eti~ tinne Gaudet, Charles Doncet, Joseph Gaadet and Joseph Doucet.

Mal)lpeque bad always been a chief centre from which the Mic-x.ac tribes of the Ie- land went out on their great hunting ex- peditions. The French missionaries wera accustomed to visit them there, even the first missionaries, Abbe de Breslay penetrat- ing that far from Port Lajoie, and there many of them were converted to the Catho-~ lic Faith,—a ‘aith which no other people hesever held more unswerviogly. Always friendly with the Indians,aswe bave al- ready observei,the French eettlers were accuetomed to undertake the clearing of the land near their villages. A consider.

nists was located near the general Mic-mac village of Ma) peque.

Fora sborttime be~ fore, the Able Cassiet served this growing settlement, which now boasted a neat church, fairly wcll equipped, a pre«bytery, school, store-,snug farmhouee and a con- siderable acrvage of clear fields emiling under a promising crop of roots and cereala.

by night, and that their friends, the Mic- macs, gathered in great numbers on Savage Island, from a long summer’s bunting expeditioa, and gave them a cordial recep-~ tion. Putting out again next morning, they reached before nightfall the locality selected for their new home, a place euffi- ciently removed from the Kagtish settlers, they thought, to give them security of tenure, and immunity from insults and persecution for masy ajday. They landed, the old tradition tells us, at the spot now called the old “Burying Ground,” the first to leap on shore being a young lad of thirteen years, named Pierre Chaisson the same, who is also said, to have felled the first tree in Tignish. He died at the age of 93 years, leaving behind him a uumer~ ous progeny.

The voyageurs made all the provision they could for winter, throwing up buts of branch and clay, and in the spring 4 the

erected the snug og cabins,

cellars ot which are still pointed out to us. Their first years were years of much toil and privation. The

| woods had to be felled and burned off before the rich harvests gladdened their | expectant hearts, and, as has been the case all around the province, the marsh lands were looked to, and in this case dyked, to eupply fodder for their prospective flocks and herds. If they wanted a horse shod, an axe made, ora sack of grain ground into flour, in all those firet years, they had to make « tedions journey of fifty long mites or more to Baker’s forge at Bedeque, Warrev’s at Darn'ey, or in canoe or sleigh, seek out John Tavior’s mill at Bedeque, Wallace’a at Malpeque, or even goon fur- ther to the mill at Indian River.

Two years after their arrival, their piety urged them on to construct a chapel io which to worship their God, and although it was arough ove made of logs, with a door and a couple of rude windows, it cost them more laborard sacridce in their poyerty and fewness of numbers thas many of the grand cathedrals of the pres-

ect dav. It was 3025 feet. The Abbe | Richard was the first priest formally 'chareed with their spiritual ¢care. The

| Abbe de Calonne had aiready ministered | to them at Malpeaue.

| When Bishop Denant visited the Is:a d in 1£03 he found 232 Acadians at Mai- peque, the most western point at which be administered confirmation ; and, accordiug to his report, there were then 102 sou's a Tignisb. The settlemect of Cascumpex was formed about this time, and cous ¢d a population of 65 soule. There were 103 English-speaking Catholics at Malpeq ve also, and those Father,(afierwards Bisucn) McEachern, who was charged with tir Catholics on the Island, nut Acaliarr, served. In 1812 when Bishop ?P visited the Island, Tignish bad made rapid strides as to population and the setilement ot the country. After this dete the Irish im- migrants began to poar in, the first being a map vamed Rielly who came across the Strait from Richibucto. In 1812 came Father Deaubien, to lovk after the Frencn missions, and in ISi9 Fatber Ccciie. | From 1822, the date Fatber Cecile’s res | turn to Quebec, the entire Catholic popula~ tion, of whatever nationality, Was served | in turn by Rev. B. D. McDonald, afterwards second Bishop of Charlottetown, unt! | 1828; Rev. S. B. Poirier unti] 1844; Rev. eter McIntyre, late third Bishop of | Charlottetown, until 1860 ; Rev.

Grammer school of that village was built

in the year 1826. It was 60x45 and was considered a fine building for its day. Io 1859 Father Melntyre com-~ menced the present beautiful

brick structure, which willever remain as a movument to his untiring zeal and a marvel of the people generosity.

The corner stone was laid by Bishop McKinnon of Arichat, and Archbishop Connolly of Halifax contecrated it in Au- guet 1860. Without avy previously mas~ sed funds, the Cure and parishioners of Tignish bad erected and paid for that costly and magnificent cffice in one single year.

Tu 1868 was built the large brick con- vent which etand behind the charch and in 1872 the brick poveorteny hard by. bese institutions are certainly 40 unmis- takable indication of the people’s faith and | liberalties ; and itis everywhere admitted that not one of them ever felt, but on the contrary, rewarded with promised hundredfold, any effert put forth to pro- vide the ecclesiastical institutions

heritage which 1s theirs :—

“The bark by tempest vainly tossed May perish ip the calm ;

And he who braved the polar frost ; Faint by the isle of balm.”

It is well to recall the example of those who have done wel! by the community in order that we may draw inepiration from their works and the better perform our part. This is the practice of al! peoples. We have before us the example of those brave avd pious Acadian fathers. See what magica! change has been effected in this country since one hundred years ago, when the ring of littie Pierre Chaisson’s ax2 awakened the echoes of the virgin forest! See what-+those Patriarchs have done by their industry, economy, and the faithful observance of religious council ! Religion, Industry, Economy, these are equaily the require» ents of the present. May the spiritof those who, one hundred years ago, cradled the Tiguist. of to-day in faith and fortithde, breathe through this aimirable celebration and inspire our gen - eration with a proper conception of its privileges an2 responsibilities !

CentraL Curistrax Cutrcn.—Xivan- gelist Robert F. Whiston was a passenger by the Princess yesterday afternoon, and a business meeting of the Central Christian Church was held last night. Some cime ago it was reported that Rev. R. W. Stevenson bad accepted a call to this charch but he since reconsidered the mat» ter and decided to stay ap Montague. A call was then extendedto Mr. Whiston which he accepted. At the meeting last night the project of building a new church was bronght befcre the members, and it is altogether likely taat in the near future the Centeral Christians will have a beautiful little church of their own.

Tae Excerra.—The Electra arrived ip port last night at nine o'clock with seven passengers and a ful] cargo of lobs:ers, eggs, etc. The Electra, instead of coming to Charlottetown last week went on the slip at Pictou to be cleaved and repaired,

and consequently an extra amount of freight was waitihg for her thie trip, a quantity of which had had to be left behind. There is always @ stir at Pownal wharf when this little steamer is in and this morning one would

almost imagine by the shouting and hustling going op thatan ocean liner was at the wharf. She sailed at one o’clock.
