Many incidents are aut! xentically related in reference to the trials and difficulties with which the early settlers had to con- tend in these parts of the country. I will, however, confine myself to only two in- stances, viz.: A Mrs, Eunice Baker, a | widow with a family, was under the neces- jsity of journeying to Charlottetown on horseback, a distance of sixty miles, in order that she might retain her property, which was at that time in jeopardy; and after traversing round capes and headlands, labyrinths and mazes, and fording her horse across streams, creeks, etc., she ar- rived in town in time to transact her busi- ness by daylight. She left that evening and returned homewards, having travelied

| remained overnight, and arrived home early | next evening.

Mr, and Mrs. John Morrow journeyed to St. Peter’s on horseback, carrying a child with them, which they got christened there being no minister nearer to them than Rev. Mr. Douglas. It must be remember- ed that they had but one horse, and re- turned home the same day.

To Mr. William Oliver Rose, teacher, a ventleman well read, for so young & man, iam indebted for a sketch ofthe early settlers, and the following account of the early vccupation of this place by the In- dians, which 1 believe is authentic tradi- tional history, viz.: About one hundred years ago, on the south side of the lake, might be seen an Indian village consisting of 150 wigwams, euclosing an open space in the centre of which was situated the camp of their chief. They belonged to the Mic-Mac tribe, who formerly inhabited the Maritime Provinces. A deadly feud existed between these peaceful Indians and the Mohawks, and many and bloody were the battles which had been fought between those two contending tribes, in which tix latter were generally victorious, and niany a Mic-Mac scalp adorned the girdles of the Mohawk warriors. It is generally supposed that the Mic-Macs were driven to take up their abode in the secluded place as a re- fuge from their fierce and deadly foes They were at that time the only inhabi- tants of that place, with the exception of a

few European families. A young man named Allen. one of the earliest English settlers of the lake, know-

ing rot the enmity they entertaine a for the Moh: .wks, conceived the idea of playing a practical joke upon them. Thereupon one fine summer evening he donned the dress of a Mehawk brave, with improvised war paint and feathers, and thus disguised he entered the encampment, and creeping un- molested through the village he stood in the entrance of the chief’s teat, where he remained a moment. Perceiving the horror with which his presence was regarde?, he retired as noiselessly as he had entered. So great was their consternation, and dread- ing, no doubt, another bileody battle wth their old enemies, that next morning not a living sou! could be seen, wherea few hours before stood a village of one hundred and fifty camps, with their numerous occu- pants, Their wigwams were standing and undisturbed ; their campfires had not been extinguished when young Allen entered the encampment on the fol lowing morning the village was deserted and the

Indians had fled in their canoes, no one knew whither. So precipi- tate was their flight

bark

that several of their dogs remained where they had been tied the night before. Although the Micmacs encamped in several other parts of the Island, comparatively fw of that tribe camped at North Lake, alcaough it afforded iacilities for fishing and hunting seldom raet with.

Sir,—-Iln reading the the J. W. Mann Manufa lished ion the d would almost come tothe conclusion thet for the crime of manufacturing a certain kind of seed sower, for which they claim to have a patent, they have crushed Mr. Henry T. LePage out of existence, or at least bave given him such a searing that he will never dare tu come out agai as a manufacturer of farm implements. But I am glad to see that friend Lepage still ives, and, nothing daunted, is going to manufacture on a larger scale thaa ever spring tooth harrows, wheel rakes and seed sowers—the latter on a new principle, ea claimed to be much’ superior to the kind inanufactured by the Mann Co., and about which they have made such a bluster. Now, as this is the first thing of the kind attempt- ed here, and as the mechanics of Charlotte- town are quite as capable of getting up implements and machinery of this deserip- tion as any ether part of the Dominion, i would just say to my brother farmers: Encourage home manufactures, and keep our men and money athome. I see no reason, for my part, why everything in the farm implement line cannot be got up as cheaply and of as good a quality here as elsewhere. For the past twenty years or more an enormous amount of money has heen taken from the Island for ploughs, harrows, wheel rakes, seed suwers, mowers, etc.,, money which ought tu and might have been kept here had there been a few men amongst us of Mr. Lepage’s energy and enterprise, who are not afraid to invest in an undertaking of this kind.

But perhaps the greatest trouble has been that our country has been flooded with everything in the implement iine from the large manufacturing firms of Ontario and Quebec to the utter exclusion of our own local manufactures, so that our farmers have begun to think that anything rot an noported article is of little or no use; an idea also that the manufacturers and their ageuts are not slow to take advantage of. With the exception of perhaps, thers is nothing to hinder all other farm implements from being manufactured here just as good and cheap as the imported Some years ago Archibald White, of

Charlottetown, commenced making the Buckeye Mowing Machine. Parties who beught from him were perfectly satistied with it. I know of one myself, bought by one of my neighbors about twenty years ago, and the same machine is working yet, a fact which cannot be stated about many of the imported ones; to show that Mr. Whit« could get up a first-class machine, But what do we find to day? Mr. White has given up manufacturing it altogether, just for the simple reason that the prejudices of our farmers would not aliow them to buy a home-made article. How long is this state of affairs to con- tinue? Have we not helped enough ulready to enrich the wealthy manulactur- erTs 0 f th e U ppe r l srovinces: is It not hig } time tor us pow to encourage our own Man ufacturers, and employ our own mechanics, many of whom haveto go to the United ao % for the 7 yment which they
