FORKS AND ORANGEvlLLE.


We are. at present, enjoying our
,o,t in the woodlands of Orangeville
and FORKS. and indulge in catching
hoss and trout. We have met with
~ood success fishing and propose to
5emain till we get thoroughly cooled
,rom the rays of the sun we left on the
o,ber side of the mountain. This is a
beautiful fertile country, and fine
nromises of good harvest. We
found Commissioner B. +. Edgar at
home. the pleasant entertaining gentle
man of his domicile, and surrounded
with fine landed property. He is
enlarging his distillery to at least twice
The capacity of its former self. Every
where we 90 we fad he has hosts Of
friends and hence it is no wonder that
he was easily elected as one of the
commissioners Of Columbia Co. and
the impression is he is giving excellent
satisfaction. We are not to forget
that ex. Sheriff Sam'l Smith is part
ner of Mr.. Edgar and has been for the
the last 3 years. Glad to meet the
ex.Sheriff when visiting at Mr. Edgars.
