One Minute Essay

Origin of the name Canada and the
date of its adoption by our northern
nelChbors is uncertain. The French
called their North American possessions
''Ncw France. The name Canada -
seems TO have been employed more by
English, aud in the reign Of Charles |
d pecraSe was granted under the title
of Niscount Canada. The earliest geo
use of the term was for the
French possessions on the st. Lawrence,
now called Quebec, or lower Canada, aud
possibly iucluding what is now Ontario.
What is now the great Dominion of
Canada is Of quite regent origin, dating
from 1867, when the dominion was ere
8tcd. Term "Canada' seems TO have
come into general use after 1863, when
France, surrendered her possessions to
the British. 1t does not appear techni-
.ally, however, until 1871, when the
designation was used in constitution
given to Upper aud Lower Canada.

to the ground, and, after singing a
song, almost like canary, began to
pick up the crumbs.
