THE CHARLOTTETSOWN‘ GUARDIAN ..

Charlottetown. 0 _ n lfiillears Ago ‘H’. BY HENRY SMITH

Among the pioneer were men oi considerable means ivho erected for themselves good large dwelling houses in Charlotte- town. in its eary days. Others too, as they found their bearlngsin the 18nd 0! their adoption, soonbegan to arise and build.,and at the beg- inning oi‘ the last century there were about sixty houses in Char-

lottetown. These houses were of differed: sizes and styles, all tlie way from the log cabin of Black

Sam at the Fish Pond. to the fine dwelling of Colonel Holland in Grove. which was afterwards the residence oftho Colonial Govern- nor. These houses were all biillt o! wood and have long since fallen into decay or were destroyed by e

Many of the houses of this earl- ier period had iarge fireplaces built in the kitchen chimneys with a swinging crane on which the pots and kettles were hilng. Also a large iron pan with a thick fiat cover might be seen on the crane which, was called a bake-pan. in this pan the bread for the falnliiy was baked. and good bread it was‘. The dough, after being kneaded and maile into loaves. was put in the pan on this cran-g over a large

A story is told of a well known cltiz-crl of earlier days wilo was always ready for a bargain , and would buy or sell on any occasion. A farmer. who came to town to sell his produce, and took home his trailer that he must buy a bake pan before leaving town. "d have one l can sell you." Teplled the trader. "Come down to tile house and soc it.“ W-hen they arrlved- at the house the trader discovered that the bake-pan was on the fire full of ‘bread and lie knew tlirit if llii; wife were around the fat would he in th'e fire also. ‘However. llg luade for the fireplace and grasping the pan ihrow off tlie llot cover and turned the bread out on the table. As tilc wife was heard collling along ii; said: "There take it at for your llfc. lt is a good bargain at that.“

There is also an old house on the North side of lDorcllcster Street. it is the first house east from Pownal Street and was known in the early (lays as ".Mcl‘hee's

i-ctObi-i ISLAND FOXES IN NEW YORK

Sir,—-i have been reading your valuable paper and as this is the season fol reports from th-n .i‘>ox men. regarding their crop of pups, i have not as yet seen but very H\\'. ta Xid m tiPysPPaoJYOmtPr 7A0() Last November ‘i lbrought sixteen pairs of foxes to New York State for Mr. w. K. Rogers. 'l‘hese‘foxes' were consigned to the 'Slogle Sli- vcr Black Fox Farm‘. ' l am very happy to say thut_ I have had fourteen litters. l have opened up my first six dens and f have the following litters: one’

five pups, two litters of four. and one litter of three, making twenty eight pups from‘ tlie first six pairs. Two pairs old foxes and four pairs young foxes. I think this is an aw- fui good showing. and J still have sonic good big litters in the dens not opened. The first pups arrived at our iaiich on Easter Sunday. lliurch 2711i, and the last on lViay 17. -l tilink it is the climate that made them so late in producing their young pups. We llavo the uiideground dens that appeal to United States furnlen. Personally’, l do not like them. would much lather iiavc the house on top of the ground type.

Th; ranch hero is located on the fhuloils Tcilily Ropscvclt trail that runs from l’o'rtlanrl. Maine, to Portland, Oregon. and is in the heart of lilo Atlirilnilack Muss 18.000 feet above the level of tllc sell. it is in the midst of wild wood, lake and ‘iliflillillil scenery. The forest surrounding the ranch affords an extensive feeding ground for the graceui’, fleet-foot- ed deer.

lt pleased -ni'-g vcry much to read of lilo lncillbers of the Tryon Horse Breeders Association, doing honor to my esteemed friends. Mr. and iilrs. Earl Douiter. it is my inten- tion to be on the island to attend their annual race meeting in July. if their meetlngfllis year equals that of last year l feel sure that I silali see some wonderful horse racing.

No doubt is will make the fox farmers feel happy to know that the fur trade is showing a ilecldod improvement during the past few weeks. i have road several article" hy some of the Ihlanti foxmen and find tllcm very instructive and fllii of intcrcst. especially those of Mr. B. Graham Rogers and Mr. George A. Callback.

Tile Rev. James Buipit wasrthc first Methodist lMinister stationed in Charlottetown. He was sent, nut by the London Missionary So- ciety and arrived here on the 31st of July, 1807. Three years inter tlie Methodist Society purchased a piece of land on! tho north sidc of Richmond IStreet. between Queen and Pownal Streets and er- ected their first place of worship. Previous io this they held services in the uid Court ‘House which was given by Governor Fanning for that purpose.

As the Methodist iSociety grew in Charlottetown thisflrst ilhlipel became too small to accommodate the congregation and land was sc- cured on the corner of Prince and Richmond Streets for the purpose of erecting a larger building. This chapel was opened in 1835 and was used by the Methodist people of Charlottetown with several im- provemonts and additions. llntii the present brick church was er- ected in 1863.

The oldest Drug Store in Chur- lottetown and possibly in ‘Canada. ie the Anpothecaries Hall o.n the corner of Queen and Grafton Streets. it was established in 1810 by Thomas DesBrisay. a son of the Rev. Thcophilus DesBrlsay. Rector of Charlottetown. The following

advertisement taken from the Weekly Recorder. published in Charlottetown at that time. will

afford some idea of the brag hus- inese in those early days.
