Tnx story of the early occupation of this country by the white man will seon be fur gotten. No doubt a few of the more im portant events connected with its early acttlement will be handed down to history; but how many interesting occurrences ip this connection have never been chronicled —or if so, are aa» completely lost to the present generation as the logs which, stand- ing one upon the other, once formed the peaceful home of the babitant /
The Jast survivor of that age has long since gone to his reat. A smal! cave in the earth may denote the spot where once his habitation stood, or a corresponding mound in some ancient churchyard prompt the carious observer to enquire, ‘*Who did this; whose grave is that?’ But Time, with its ever busy hand, is fast levelling those caves and. mounds, and making it very apparent that even their descendants are destined, at no great distant day, to re- tain of their existence not even the vestige of a vague and empty remembrance.

But they have bequeathed to their descendants a good constitution, a cheerful disposition, and that quiet determination which makes of life a success, and which must have been in a marked degree by those who opened up the country, laid low the forest, and there, without a fear for the future, dared to estab ish for themselves a home.
Confident of their strength and strong in that faith which their fathers brought from the sunny clime of France, they surmvant- ed all obstacles, cheerfully giving their labor for the maintenance of their families and the improvement of their adupted country, aad new, after the lapse of almost a century, they have left to their descend- ante a pame which for sobriety, industry and patience might well bs admired by generations yet to be.

However, recent excavations with th- muddigger has shown bat this much prized sheilfish existed to some ex’ent in the river at some unkown period, and it is quite probable that during some tremendous storm, the sea rising to much above ite ordinary level, carried such quantities of sand into the river that the oysterbeds’ were destroyed,

It is well that nature in her wisdom has fitted the back for ite burden, for it may well be doubted whether the present genera- tion could undergo the same amount of toil and hardship as their ancestors. True, their wants were not numerous, but when we re- member that in winter their only means of iocomotien waa the snowshoe and that the nearest store was in the vicinity of Port Hill, we may aptly conclude that no: hing bat dire owe compelled a visit to its neighbor-

The Acadian settler was in almost every case tall, strong and well proportioned; the women possessed of durability seldom equaled in any country, it being a common thing for them to walk to Miscouche in a day on snow- shoes, @ distance of about fitty miles. On one occasion, a girl of seventeen yeara, accom- a by her father, left hee home in Tignish fore daylight of « winter's morning andl tramped to Miscouche, where a frolic was gotten up in honor of the visitors and at which she danced the whule night without showing any epparent signs of fatigue. Winter during those early years of settle- ment often be gan ip the month of November, the snowstorms being much greater than anythiog the present generation bas witness.

Fishermen soon began to pay frequent visits to the locality, and as the water of the coast was found teeming wth fish and the river of sufficient depth tu afford ex- cellent protection to fishing boats, it was deemed prudent on the part cf the French Acadian settlers of Malpeque t» remove thither where they could live in peace and pienty far re- moved from their old enemivs, che English. | Puzhivg their boats up the stream for about three-quarters of a mile, the pioneers landed in the unbroken forest, and there built homes for themselyes and their families.

In a new country gach as this, where the :forest grew down to the water's edge and stubbornly contested with man the occupation of the ground, the settlers had to look for # time at least for other modes of subsistence than that which is procured by tilliog the soil.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Commissivner's Abolition.
Water
Srr,-— In reading the Guardian's report of the meeting of the City Fathers last night, I came to the conciuaion that they shuuld be called the city children. The wnatter under discussion was the abvlishing of the office of Water Commissioners I find the matter for discussion was supp/ied by the junior members of the Counucil— men who have hai uo experience in civic matters—children so to speak. McKay, Hogan, Howop-r, R -bertso:, what do these men know abuut it anyway! They were not elected on thet ticket The matter was never mooted at the last election Toey were elected to sucp nt reforing chat bave agitated the eriz ns for years, and wh-n they eid that it would be time enough to take up new miter. N argument of any weight can be put tor ward in favor of abolishing the present management of the Water Works. The Water Works were built and have since been operated with satisfaction to th public. The cost of operating is only $1,700 (outside of the station) and how he Couucil propose to save $2,000
er annum by putting the management im the hands of the Council, I fail to see Are they going to do the work of commis sioners, clerk, superintendent, &., aud pay in $300 for the privilege of ding it. OCivizens, be careful of this kind «ffer. Taere is something in the back-ground. Veuncillor Hugh:s says the vo ks arein a very critical condition, that we depend op me boiler and the reservoir is no gvo!
