THE DAILY EXAMI'ER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL 14, 1£97

sv BMER( GED HAVRE,

A PROMISING VILLAGE DESTROYED BY LAKE ERIE.

The Town Made an Unusually Ambitious Start, and Its Projectors Expected Great Things From It—Now Its Site, All That Is Left, Is a Creek Bottom.

Within a few miles of the corporation sine of Toledo lies the site of a lost village, which was peopled not so long ago by sev- eral hundred souls. Its existence is al- most forgotten, and only a few of the old- est inhabitants are able to indicate even vaguely where the town once stood. The Llue waters of Lake Erie ripple over town Jots and building lots which it was hoped would some day bring great wealth to the projectors of the village.

A few miles north of Toledo, Ten Mile creek, dignified by gcographers with the name of Ottawariver, marks the boundary on the lake front between Ohio and Michi- gan. On the north bank of the stream, just within Monroe county, Mich., is the site of what once was the town of Havre. It was not a hamlet, such as is gradually formed around a few fishing shanties when a country is young, but a town that was treated by hundreds of colonists. When Havre was laid out, it was the only place that was more than a mere settlement be- tween Monroe, Mich., and historic old Maumee, O. Toledo was only a name, for when the colonists landed in 1836 this city was just a year old, and its future growth was highly problematical. It was situated 12 miles from the island that marks the western end of the lake, while Havre, situated to the north of Gard is- land, was practically on the broad high- way of waters.

‘The colonists were brought to the site of the tewn by the steamer Superior from Buffalo. It is probable that this steamer was the first craft other than an Indian canoe that had ever ventured into ine channel between Gard island and the mainland. Many of the colonists of Havre were French. and they named the new town after the famous port in their mother country. Denis Morin, whose descendants still live on the water front near the old town site, laid out the streets with his plow and helped to grade the locations of the principal buildings. Old Peter Tre- vick, who is still living in Vienra, Mich., also helped to build the town. Houses rose rapidly. <A first rate church was built, and stores out of all proportion to the busi- ness of that day and a commodious tavern were erected. In short, within two years from the time the first colonists landed 500 houses had been built along the water front, and the little steamer that plied be- tween Detroit, Monroe and Mauimce found profitable trading at Havre.

Then came the cataclysm. Old Lake Erie began slowly to rise. The town was only a few feet above the level of the creek, and the country was marshy. It was at first thought that it was only a remarkable stage of high water. But the water came over the sills of the doors nearest tie lake and slowly but surely rose higher and higher. House after house was invaded, and the pretty little creek mouth gradually widened until it was nearly a mile across. On the water ceme until the floors in the highest portion of the town stood four feet deep in water. The people were, of course, Badly frightened. With everything that could float chey hurried to the highest spot on the mainland and waited for the end. Finding after a day or two that the waters had apparently ceased to rise, they return- ed and took away all the property that could be moved by the old fashioned ca- noes, which were an indispensable ad- junct to every French trapper’s outfit. ‘The boats were rowed right into the houses, and when it came to transporting the bar- rels of good liquor with which the tavern taproom was stocked there was many a poor Frenchman who had an opportunity of drinking better spirits than he had ever tasted before. In fact, the whole settle- ment had about as memorable a drunk as this part of the country had ever seen.

Then came what is still remembered as the big winter. Ten Mile creek was frozen to its bottom, and the snow was very deep. The founders of Have, who had encamped along the water front against the day when the waters should recede and they shorld come into their own again, were forced by the inclement weather to hunt Yor new homes. Monroe received many cf them, and other towns and the adjacent farms absorbed the rest of the villagers. The waters never went back, and the fol- lowing spring there was a great sale of the town's buildings. They went cheap, and the settlers came from miles around to bid for them.

The houses were raised before the ice had gone out of the creek and were hauled away by ox teams while the ground was still in good condition for sledding. Oniy a few of the houses were left near the vil- lage site, and the only one that can now be identified is occupied by young Trevick and stands over a mile from where it was first built. The great tavern was taken bodily to Vienna, Mich., where it stood for years. Even the pioneer steamer was bro- ken up, and today some of the planks are built into the house of Levi Morin, whose uncle plowed the first street line of Havre. All that is left of Havre is a few piles that can still be scen rotting in Ten Mile creck.

Whether the water of Lake Erie actually rose or whether the land about the town site sank is a question. Certainly no other port on western Lake Erie has any record of such an increase in its waters,

Size of the Congresstonal Library. Founded in the year 1800 by the mod- est appropriation of $5,000 ‘ ‘for the pur- chase of such books as may be necessary for the use of congress at the said city of Washington,’’ this collection has

grown, notwithstanding the ravages of

two fires, to the present aggregate of 740,000 volumes. the Jefferson library in 1815, the Force Historical library in 1865, the Smith- sonian library in 1867 and the Toner collection in 1882, all constituted spe- cially important and valuable accessions to its stores. And by the enactment of the copyright law of 1870, followed by the international copyright act of 1891, this library became entitled to receive two copies of all books, periodicals and other publications claiming the protec- tion of copyright in the United States. —A. R. Spofford in Century.

Dickens as Critic,

Charles Dickens had a great love for music and particularly enjoyed songs and ballads, anything pathetic in the strains of which quickly moved him.

He had his own ideas of the way in which songs should be rendered, and when occasion offered he made them known.

One day a member of his household was singing a ballad, when suddenly the nov- elist, who had apparently been deep in a book at the farther end of the room, got up, saying, ‘‘You don’t make enough cf that word.’’

He seated himself at the piano and illus- trated his idea of the way in which the word to which he referred should be em- phasized and did not rise until the phrase had been sung to his satisfaction.

After that, whenever the song which became a favorite with him was sung, he listened with his head a little on one side until the had made sure that his instruc-

tions had not been forgotten that time.— Youth’ s Companion.
