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. dividual history. The struggles and trials of the pioneers of civilization are fast fading from the memory of. man. 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, No land on the Isiand gave greater return for the tabour of the husband- man than the virgin soil of Tignish, when firat recluimed from the forest, and he who was fortanate enough to have afew bushels of seed to put in the ienced councillers so anxicvus for more jwork?

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- In the winter season, any pereon requiring the services of a blaekemith, prepared with a stock of provisions sufficient to last many diys, and with skates and snowshoes, depart. ed for Bedeque, the nearest smithy, and men can still be tound who remember hearing their fathers tell of the many trying experiences met with during those long and lonely tramps. 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. hands are forever at rest. To succeeding races of men they have left a good work , nobly begun. Let it not be ssid the charge nas fallen to unworthy hands. But while juiming with all others for the unity aud) prosperity of a common country, they may! prove them<elves worthy ef their progenit- ors. Many years age aduzsn families of French descent, tollowing in boats the various indentations of the coast from Malpeque, arrived one evening at mouth of the river which gives its name to the country for miles around. Tigmish, for that was the name by which the river the’ ed, and sometimes overtaking the poor Acadian ere he could return from the Bed- que gristmill, forcing his absence from his family for many anxious days. Indeed, it was neces- sary to take every possible precaution ag«inst what might turn out to be a pro‘unged ab- sence, especially if the season was far advanc- ed; for at one tyme # couple of settlers, being | overtaken by wiater, two months elapsed be- | fore they returned home, their extrao divary | delay being caused by a!most incessant stu: ras! and from the fact that the snowfall on the level becyme higher thin a horse's back.
