Notes From Pisquid.

The Messrs. Laird are doing a fair busi- ness smelt tishing on the Hillsborough, near the confluence of the Pisquid River. Capt. Piggott is also tishing, ties from the westward, at Bridge. They use seines or hey box the fish and ship Boston markets.

The post office at Pisquid is kept by Mr. Angus B. McDonald, the piace being known as Eldertield. Mr. Jonathan Jay teaches school at Pis-| quid; and Mr. Angus B. McDonald carries the mail to and from the station.

Che railroad is built parallel with the | river on the east side in a southern direc- | tion for about four miles. The land from, the river re is an eastern and western aspect. |

There are many thriving orchards to be, seen at Pisquid, and | have been shown a variety of grape vines in one orchard, well | fenced and protected. There were about} ove and a half dozen, planted three yeas which bore very luxuriantly The quality of the fruit was very good and fully matured.

There are large quantities of hay cut on|

he Pisquid marshes, but it often sual zreatly damaged by the tides. The in- habitants interested and having large marshes | abovethe bridge contemplate building a dam at that piace to prevent the tide vem flowing the intervals above the bridge. delegation waited on the cena with a view to ascertaining what action | they would take in the matier, or what en- | couragement theygwould receive and, Mr. | John P. Nicholson was sent by the govern- | ment, and made a survey, and gave two| estimates in his report of August 12th, | 1889, of two different ways of building a dam, the cost of which would be $759 99, and $1145 50 respectively, which, ever, was considered entirely too high by, experienced _ bridge- As the bridge is not in an exposed piace, it would | be sufficiently strong to admit of building a dam against it, at a much less figure than! indicated in the report.

Messrs. Allan McDonald, Alexander | Miller and Angus B. McDonald have been! appointed commissioners of sewers for’ Pisquid River, and the marshes lying con- tiguous thereto, for the purpose of resid ing and carrying out measures for the re-} claiming and improving of said marshes. |

This isa beautiful country, | conveniently situated to shipping, both by | hear to markets, churches, stores, etc. There are many large and highly cultivated farms to be seen | here, and all, or nearly all, have good residences and outbuildings; and the in- habitants are just as clever as they are comfortable. Since ship-building ‘* went down,” the people devote their whole at- tention to cultivating the soil, and the greater part of them have lime kiins and

The ** Garahelia,”? McDonald’s estate, on the west side of the river, comprising } about five hundred acres, owned and occu- pied by Mr. Angus McDonald, the veteran master ship builder, and Daniel McDonald are among the best farms in this section of the Island.

There are a few old people still living in this section who can relate many inctl-

dents which transpired 70 or 80 years ago, or about 38 years afterjits settlement, viz, Mr. Donald Gillis, 88 years, Mrs. D. Gillis,

80, Mr. John McKinnon, 84, Mr. John Linus McDonald, 72, Mrs. McKinnon, (widow) 89, Mrs. Allan McDonald, 78.

Mrs. Angus McDonald, (widow), of Elder- field, at the post office, is the most active old lady I have met with on the Island. She is 86 years, and has had seven sons and four daughters, fifty-six grand children and twenty-four great-great-grand children. On the east side of the river, for nearly | three miles the inhabitants are nearly ail McDonalds.

Pisquid was settled about the year 1772 by Scotch Highlanders, who emigrated to this country in the ship Alexander, and landed their effects at Portage, on the | Hillsborough Riv er. The first parts settled | were like unto other places on the Island, viz., near the bays and rivers, as the rivers | then constituted the principal highways. | Among the first settlers were the Gillises, | the Macdonalds, and the Mackinnons.} They had, like the other early settlers, | many difficulties to contend with, situated as they were in a dense forest, with no roads, bridges or buildings, and in a climate much more rigorous than the *‘bonny High- lands of Seotiand;” and after they had be- gun to raise sheep, hogs and cattle, bruin| would often carry off a fat sheep or other) domestic animal, and on many occasions, would with difficulty be driven from the

premises. The pioneers had many hard- ships in this respect, and often no fewer than from six to eight bears were

killed by afamily in summer. The small crops of grain raised then were ground on ‘“‘quarries.” or hand mills, there being few if any grist mills on the Island.

About 70 years ago the inhabitants who wished to go to a grist mill were obliged to traverse the dense forest on foot- -paths, with wheat, or barley, in a sack, on a horse or ox, to St. Peter's, then the nearest mill. In these days schools were few and far between and the pedagogues were paid exclusively by subscription, and buarded round, a week for each pupil at each place.

The people of Pisquid belong to St. Andrew's Church, which is conspicuously and pleasantly situated on the north side of the Hillsboro River, above Mount Stewart. | [t is a very fine structure, large, comfort-| able and commodious, and together with the neat Parochial house, are ornaments to that place. Very Rev. James McDon ld, V.G., is pastor, a very zealous or ener: | getic gentleman, now pretty well ad-| vanced in years, Perhaps there is no par-| ish in this Dominion which can boast of | having so many clergymen oedaincd as St. | Andrew’s parish.
