'rill! operations of last winter in the prepjiration for Tinmi,t;rants to arrive und' r I he anan^-enient with Captain Brown, as contained in thi; minutes of (Jouncil ui' Kith August, 1872, referred to in my last report, were prosecuted witli as mu'Ii success as the severityof the winter permitted. The early settin;;- inof cold, accom- panied with the fi-e(pient and heavy snow storms, prevented nuicii beiu,;^" done io road makinj;-. The house contractors proceeded with tlunr huihlinLi; ; and 1 havet) thank tliem for the enern^y with which they prosecuted their v>ork a,i;aiust many diiticultii's tliey had not contemplated when ihey entered into tlieir contra<('''. Owinu; to the depth of the early snows, the kuul choppiiiL,' could not be done < satisfactorily as it (Mjuld have lieen done in ordinary winter seasons. The surv< y i)f the trait was made by Deputy Beckwith into one hundred, and two hundrc', aci-t; lots, tVontiii:;- on tin- different roads; the routes of which wire dctermincil accordiiio- t(i the general outline furnished by t'aptain Brttwn. There was con- siderable correspondence with Capt. Brown, with rej^ard to the progress of h-s work, and in connection with his undertaking. [ met liim in Boston on tin; 281 ii January, 187.3. and got a full report of wliat had been done in Scotland.

During the Si'ssion of the Legislature, most cordial su])j)ort was gi\en to the efforts of the (iovernment; and no ditViculty was found in carrying out the recommendation fur a larger appropration for Immigration than heretofore, to enalile the (iovernment to fulfil the contracts with Captain liellcr and Captain Brown ; the policy of wliich latter was gen^'rally complimented and fully (■ndorscd.

I had not, during the winter, the opportunity of personally visiting the work^. On the 16th April, however, I proceeded, in company with Messrs. Taylor, Me- Hardy, Patterson and Harpei-, torn- of tln} colonists' associates of Captain Brown, who had shortly befcn-o that date arrived in New Bi'unswick, to \isit the work of preparation for them and their fellow associates. (,»n arriving at the district

a

Ht'Iected for the Si'otdi Colony, I foini.l thiif almut oio'ht milen of the road liiu- liad been clearetl of tlie trees, and that some of tlu; liouses were not vet completed. Better progress had been made than 1 expected. I made the best 'arrangements 1 eould for more active operationt!, so as to be as well prepared as possible for the arri\al of the colony. The great depth of snow at this date was very much against success in this matter.

After spending a day at tlu. settlement, Messrs. Taylor ajul McIIurdy returned to St. John to obtain supplies for the store which tliey were to establish for the reception of the colony. .Messis. I'attersou and Harper remained in the district.

THK TUXISH COLONISTS.

The best that could be done for the Danish colonists during the winter was to give th.TO some chopping of land for the Danish immigration" to arrive in the Spring under the contract with Capt. Heller), and the cleai'ing out of some of the road line on wlucii the expected colonists would be located. Manv of thes.' settlers found w<.rk in the Cunty of Victoria, outside of the colonv, thev liaving. since Wmr arriv;;! in New Brunswick, anpiired sufficient knowledge'.-f the Kngli*^i language' to onable them to undertiiko almost any manual labor thi\ \vere"able to obtain. '

Though the winter was very fce\(-re, good health pre\ailed ..mong them : and on my visiting them, aboutvthe 21st April, I found tliey had passed througli tli.' winter .piite as satisfactorily as I had expected they M-onld.

I found, liowever, that there would be a great difficultv in satisfactorilv eai'- rymg out tlie arrangement in Capt. Heller's contract, wlierebv the Government agreed to secure to them work for two years ; and, cim-ing "tliis \ isit, I niad.^ efforts to arrange with them to accept the same terms as were secured to Cajit. Brown's ccdonists, and succeeded at tliis time witli some of them.

Expecting a considerable addition this year to this colonv, I was iv(|aired to make some prepai'ation for their reception at the colony ; ami made arrangements for tlie erection of a building, 100 feet long by 18 feet wide, whicli I^divided into eight rooms, in each of which I placed a cooking sto\e.

Already some of tlie colonists had made arrungments ta,remo\e from tlie " temporary accommodation ^' provided for in Capt. Heller's contract. With tliis temporary accommodation vacated, and such other acconmiodation as 1 was able to obtain in Vac settlement, I believed I could, witli the building I then contracted foj-, make comfortable provision for the number 1 expected. The snotr at this settlement, at this date, was very deep for the season of the year. i

On my way down the ri\er, I learned that Capt. Heller and part of his' colonv had arrived, and the; Scotch colony with Capt. Brown had sailed. I advised that the Danes be retained at St. John, and employment be obtained for tbem there, it possible, until the the season should be more advanced, the snow gone, and the building- completed.

The active demand for labor on the St. John Water Works afforded an oppor- tunity for this suggestion being carried out. Temporary accommodation was

On my arrival at St. .John, 1 met Capt. Heller, and opened negotiations with him for a change of his contract so that the Government might be relieved from 'their guarantee for two years' work to the Danes.

The experience of the past year had fully satisfied me that the satisfactory

fulfilment of this part of the contract involved a very great deal of anxiety, and

)a considerable outlay of money, when the work could not be provided for them

; on the roads in their own settlement. The difficulty in securing such work as

i each person is desirous of obtaining necessitates extensive inquiries and many

details, the result of which are not an etiuivalent for the labor, time and expense

involved ; and oftentimes over-fastidiousness as to the chari.cter of the work is,

too apparently, made an excuse for unwillingness to faithfully perform work

secured, tendered, and accepted.

In this matter of change of contract, Capt. Heller met me very cordially, and after full expjjiuation to him of the reasons which induced me to endeavor to nego- tiate it, cheerfully assented to bring the matter before his immigrants and urge it upon their favorable consideration and adoption. The terms offered were that they accept, in lieu of Capt. Heller's contract, the same terms as were given to Capt. Brown's colonists under the minute of Council of 16th August, 1872.

I THE SCOTCH COLONISTS.

Between the Ist and 10th May, I was very much occupied in making prepar- utions for the reception of the Scotch colony, whose sailing had been announced. Arrangements were made with steamers plying on the river St. John for the transport direct from the Anchor Line steamer "Castalia" up river to Kilburn's Landing.

The backward Spring presented many anxious considerations for the comfort of the colonists on their arrival.

In view of the absolute impossibility of getting, in one day, from the bank of the river at Kilburn's to their houses, by any means at our disposal, I secured from the Dominion Government a number of militia tents for accommodation, for a short time, in case of bad weather on their landing.

The suggestion was made, and by many urgently pressed upon me, that arrangements be made for the accommodation of the women and children either at St. John or Fredericton while the men went foryj^rd to the colony and got their houses thoroughly prepared for their reception. While at first dis- posed to accept this suggestion, I finally determined to take all forward, believ- ing that in their wives and children they would find strength and firmness to face the many difficulties I knew were before them. The experience I had afterwards with them satisfied me that I was correct in this determination ; and I gladly bear testimony to the perseverance, determination, seif-sacrificing energy

Hut we try to catch the outline of the Irish coast, by Hally- castle, the mouth ot (he Haim, Lough I'ovle, and Donegal : finally, the light failed us sooner than the Irish hills, and in a dark and rough night those who cared to go on deck were told that they could see the last light on European ground— the light of Tory Island— and so we partwl from Europe, the smaller of the four great continents, yet the richer as yet of modern times in the great work of the world.

FUOM I,ANI) TO LAND.

The following day was cold and cloudy, with now north, next head winds, and occa- sionally part of both. The Ciinfitlia carried a multitude of whom ihw were inured to the sea, and many were prostrated by sea sickness, and there was abundant work for Captain Brown, who was in charge of the emigrants, and others in cheering and help- ing them. But when evening fell, those emigrants who stood out the sea, wished for a meeting consistent with the Lord's Day objects, and it was held in the saloon, which was crowded by men — scarcely a woman was able to be present — either from personal inability or the discharge of duties due to children or relatives. The last three days of April were clouded al)ove, and the sea was slightly stirred by north and west winds, in which the Irish sea gidls disappeared, and left us solitary on the ocean, but our conva- lescents became daily more numerous and stronger, and an increase occurred among our children, previously ]!)H, now made 19». May day came next, and at noon we were in latitude r)l.;}:{ N.: longtitude .'32.21 W.; and with "rather pressing head winds our run for the previous twenty- four hours had been 152 miles, or 100 miles under the capacity of the Cmtalia, without any wind. May day was cloudless, as it should be ; cold as it need not be ; and still the wind rose "against us as if to protest that we were not wanted in the west ; so that the sea became a little more disturbed, and some of our people thought the swell high, but they were mistaken. Our run in the twenty-four hours to noon of the ;3rd May was 236 iniles, then the wind went clean in front of the steamer and made a rough tumbling sea, with plenty of pit<;hing and rolling for some of our passenger's sea feet ; and trouble with dishes and food, all inclined to run in some way not wanted, and disinclined to steadiness. Matters became worse as the day wore

work of transferring a portion of the colonists effects to the " Olive " had bo'un and in an h<^".r about two hundred of the people were on board that steamer. Before the fasts were let go for the up-river trip, a large number of the colonists were assembled on her saloon deck, where George Troup, Escj., a Scottisli gentle- man who had come over to the Province in the " Castalia " to en((uire into its merits as a home for emigrants, was called to the chair. Eev. K. J. Cameron, minibter of St. Andrew's Church and Chaplain of St. Andrew's Society of Saint John, delivered the following address of welcome :—

Mr. Chalrmav, —On belialfof the St. Andrew's Society in St. John, the o nice-bearers and niombers who are here present desire to bid you and your associates welcome to t^ho shores of New Brunswick. Your safe arrival from the perils of the ocean, in the face of recent disasters and loss of life, is not ordy a matter of great satisfaclio'n to us, but of great tliankt'iiliiess to God. You come among us as emigrants from Scotland,' and, as your fellow countrymen and those wlio claim kinship with them, we have a' special inti'rest in your welfare : and it is with the object of assuring you, as strangers here, that you have many sympathizers in your movement that wo are pr(>sent on '^his occasio?! to give you a hearty welcome. In leaving ycnir native conntrv we realise in a measure the sacrifices you have made. You have ll'ft a land which has bivn the home of your ancestors for generations — aland you have hned on account of its national spirit, its high-toned morality, and its religious and secidar hi.vtory. In doing so vou have in many cases suap[)ed the dearest ties wliicii can bind the hu- < heart to iinv country. But it is a matter of satisfaction that, while you w ill no do .' oe in svmpathy with all institutions peculiar to the country, 3'ou are resolved to preserve yournational spirit. You come associated as Scotchmen : you have bound yoursehes bv ties of friendship : hand in baud, as one man, you have resohed to cast' your lot in this land and settle down together. Here you will remember you have a counlrv which has scarcely passed through the first epocii of its hislnry. " There are a few this da v still alive who wen* among its first settlers — who saw civilization in this P

fancv

•ovnice \\\ its m-

It is not necessary to describe \)w state of the coinilry when thev landed on its shores. Willi reference to the past and the changes which have taken place, suffice to say on this occasion that you come to this country at a time in its bistury when you will not have to enconnler thi^ trials and dilficullies which your predecessrrs in iniinv cases experienced, 'i'be way has been paved in a great lueasure fiir you. \'ou will have social comforts, conimercial advantages, conveniences of transit and communication which were unknown in former days. You must not, liowfwer, imagine that vtni will have no hardships, no dilliculties, no severe trials. These will surround vou on every hand for many a day. Tint, like most of your countrymen who have come to this Pro- vince, you will be resoKeil to encounter and overcome all difficulties and trials to

meet bravely all (liscourau'emi>nts and disadvantages, and !)e successt'ol in the end Those who came to this country with this determination many years ago, with fewer .advantages than you havi', arcs to-day in many cases men of w"ealth and hiirh social jiositioii. l^emember then, that by endurance and jierseverance, by ])atience and deter- mination, by resolute action you may one day fie in positions of comfort and independ- enc( , to wliich in all probability ycm would never hav( attniu(>d in Scotland. With judicious care and economyand iiulustry you will all have latids which y(UJ cae call your own; you will bav(> homes tor yourselves and your childn'u, .-ind yoii will nave ample resources at your disposal. In stepping to-day from this ship yoi enter upon a new era of life with every reasnnable prospect of success, and therefore it is. notwithstand- ing all the difficulties and hardships and trials you may have, that we in the mime and on behalf of the oth(>r office bearers and members of St. Andrew's Societv, bid you a liearly welcome to this Province.

In reply, tlu^ Ciiairman saifl : -

In thanking you, sir. and the Society you represent, for your warm address of wel- come, I speak my first words uttered on — \ may say--Colonial soil. While enga^'cd in

Im- up the waste plm'cs of this -reat country, yet composed as it is ot Scotchmen and then- sons, who rc,-rard with fcclin-s of aflbilion the old land from wliic I you have come,we cannot look with in.lifH.r.uice on the arrival of so many sons an. daughters of ol, .S„>tia, ..„ our sho-es. We be-, therefore, to assure you that with the liandof wehome .■xtendcil to you on your arrival amon- us, you have also our deepest ^.vinpalhy in the -real work you have iin.l.u-taken. Wc rc-ard you only a,^ pioneers of a x'aster colony of your countrymen, whom we hope soon to welcome to oiir city aud province. You have come Irom ati old and ov(u-crowdeil country, whose "il.alulanis are oden compelled to say, '• .Make room, for thft land is too narrow for u^^ ; and you are now on the ihrcshoKI of a vast coimlrv, whose people miiy take un llio opposite cry. and semi it ov.u- the sea to the , rowded cities and plains of Europe, sayniir: •> (onie over and help , is ; cnic and help us to possess the Imd aad fill ui. lis waste places.

Many are tlio thouLdils and (eelii,i.'s that stir in our Sconisl. hearts as we -ncet so many of you on your arrival amon- us. K,,,. myself, I can sav that the Abcrdeen- Min-e i.ood ot my lathers un.ws warmer in my veins while I address you, and when I see Iielore ,ne so many men, women and cliildrcu, who have trodd.'n the same hills and valleys or who have breathed from infancy the same air; but I feel that I ex- press also tlie celm-s of all your countrymen who for years have re-arded this pro- vince as thoir home, when I say that we shall follow voii to vour forest homes with lliesincerest wishes for the prosperity ol yourselves and yoiir'.tliildrcn.

l»u your way to the part of the province which you have chosen r>.s u place of settle- ment, it may not be out of place for me to address ym. briefly on several matters wliose importance cannot have escaped your owu notice.

1 need not tell you that there are ditlh-ultics of no mean ma'^niilude heloro any man n 10 stni-ts in a new couni.y— a •■oiintry like this, but thinly peopled, and who under- takes to hew out lor Iiimndf an.l family a home in the depths of the forest. The -ourase. endurance and stren-fh. nncessary to such an undertaking are not possessed l.y all. Jhoso who. like myself, have been bnrn and have lived chiefly in the pro- ince, know that many have tailed, owing to the want of a helping hand' extended by >he powers tliat he." \Vc have the best reasons to believe that the virtues so nece.^

Tlio contrast between tlio country iiiid circiinistaticeM yon liiiM- so lately left, and the country and cireuuiHtftiu'es in wliicli yon haw. come to settle are so ;;reat that for the next few ycni-.-t yon will lind ani|i!i! Hcnpi' for the exercise of self-s;i( litice and .self-deuiiil ; but \vc liftV(! enonuh to coiivinci! us in the career (d'lhosit who hii\e pre- ceded you in this jirovinee, that yon will soon succeed in winniii'r for yourselves and families a noble independence, and that you will transmit to your children those noble. sentiments and virtues which have ctMitribnlcd to nuiko Scotland whiil she is io-dii\ anion;; the nations of llio world.

AV'hiie anxious to avoid saying anything that woidd damp tin; ardcu' oi' auyoiu'. would eqiudly avoid saying anything tliat might tend to excite unreasonable hopes. This much, however, permit me to (diserve, "IJe not discouraged by lir.st ap|)earaiu'c."'

There are giants in this as in every new comitry. Th(> Auuilakites and Anakims are here giants, not in the form of men or beasts, but giant oaks and elms ; but before your vigorous strokes they will speedily disappear, and yield uj) many a fertile acre to the plough and scythe.

The climate of this province is in many respects more like that of Scotland than any part of America. Still you luusi be pre]iarc(l lor diU'ereucis. ^'ou will liuil our Humnier shorter iind warmer, wud oui' winter colder and longer than those von have been accustomed to in Scotland. Hut these, I ani persuaded, will not. lie regarded iis serious drawbacks by you, for while the shorluess df our sumnur <':ills for in( reused diligence and skill on the part of the husbaudman, the long Avinter will afVord the fullest sco|)e for development to those moral and iiitelleclual virtues for which old Scotia's sons have long been distinguished.

We trust you will ])rove the truth of the hiitiu moio — i;-rliiiu noii ituhiinDi iiIiiIkhI ijiii Iraiin inure vvrninl — which being freely rendered, declares that those who cross the ocean change not their minds, not their features of character, but the natural features of earth aiul sky. We trust, therefore, that you have brought with von, and will develop in your new homes those same virtues, aiul that round your fore.-it ingles you will inculcate the same sacred ti'uths that hav<' been tanghi you al home, and which lie at the very foundation of a people's greatness. Let the picture of Scottish jjcasaiit life so heiintifuUy sketched by Scotia's liard, be realised in this land of vow adoption, remembering that there is as much solemn triuh as poetic beauty in the closing stanza of that uobfo poem :

From scenes like these old Scotia's grauthsur springs That makes her loved at home, revered abroad.

lu this country you will nn doubt find a greater liberty of freedom of action than you have been accustomed to at home. The laud you go to possess will be yours by as sure a tenure as if it had descended to you undisputed through a long line ef lordly ancestors. The streams that water it as well as the fish that stock them are your.s. The forests around your homes aboimd in game, and the privilege of unlimited sport will be within your reach. The game laws you will be called upon to observe here are those oidy which nature and common prudence will unite iu enforcing. These surely are no mean pri\ ileges, especially to those who understaiul so well how to value and improve them.

Added to these are political privileges which you will be callctl upon to exercise. As proprietors of the soil you will have a voice iu the election of the men who are to legislate for the country, both iu the Provincial and the Dominion Parliaments, and in the choice of such men you '.vill no doubt bo guided by principles that will lead you to select those who will uphold the best interests of your owu colony, as well as the country at large.

I need not tell you that the laws and institutions under which you have conic to re- side are much the same as those you have left. Wo float the old flag of freedom, under wdiose folds you were boru and rcnred, and we rejoice to th.ink onr.selve.". part of the great nation to which it belongs.

loved Queen, whose many virtues and graces Scotclinicn are always ready to lioimr and respect. Wa form part of that vast empire — and surely no insigniticaut part, e.\- teuding, us our country does, from the Atlantic to the I'acilic — an empire on which tlie sun uover sets. Von come, therefore, among us not as strangers, but rather as friends. You are not strangers to our laws and instil ut ions, not strangers in a couu'ry whose climate and soil, whosi; productions and niilinvd scenery, in so many respects, strongly resembles the cmuitryyou have left. Yon are not Btrangers surely to onr habits of life, our manners or our cnttoms, and certainly not strangers to that Scottish dialect which so many amongst us seem iirond to retain and cultivate.

The land tiuit you have left has stood forth conspicaons for centuries among the nations of the worhl for Christian civilisation and also for its secular and religions inslitntions. In this new country, for some time to come, you mast expect to feel the want of uuich you liave left behind in education and religion. Under onr luiw School Law, however, wo can promise to every child you bring the blessings of free educa- tion. I'lio teachers you have brought with you will no doubt be classed with onr own, and the Provincial School law will place at your disposal the means of providing school acc()mmodation at no distant day.

As a Alinister of the Gos[)el, and as one naturally interested in your wellare, lei me add a few words of advice on chnrcli allairs. Having studied for years in a Scottish University, and having been licensed by a Scottish Presbytery, I know something of the state of I'resbytcrianism in Scotland. ^lore perhaps than at home wo have soeu the folly and the evil of the divisions that, uuhai)|)ily, ha^o existed in the country yon have lel't. Hven in this country, two ihonsanil miles away from th(! causes of these ditlerences, we have; suffered not a little from the wounds indicted at home. The importation of these differences to this connlry, where patronage cannol possibly exist, is now almost universally regretted, and we hail the time as rapiilly approaching, when, iu this Dominion, we shall present one grand Presbyterian Church united in heart and work, from the Atlantic; to the Pacific. Let me strongly urge you then. Christian friends, on your coming among us, to forget as speedily as possible tlie ditfereuces that unliapi)ily divide tlu; Presbytcrianisn\ of the olil country, and to lose no opportunity in this new country of drawing together all the members of the three Presbyterian bodies that are among you. If union lie strength depend upon it you will find that it is so in this matter. I dwell, particularly on this sid)ject, be- cause I have seen the bitter fruits of division among our people, especially in the country districts of this province. Too often in couse(|uence of being divided oni' people have been so weakened that they were unable to provide themselves church accommodation, or prr .ire tlie services of a clergyman to break to them the Dread of Life, and not untrequently they have been entirely absorbed by other denomina- tions. As I have already said, we look forward to a union of Presbyterians through- out the wdiole Dominion, and the policy of both Synods iu tiio meantime is to encour- age our people iu every country district to draw closer and closer together, and to unite iu supporting one minister instead of two, and bend their united efforts to the extension of Christ's cause throughout the country at large. Li conclusion permit me once more to say that as Scotchmen and their sons, we welcome you most heartily to this country. We rejoice at your coming, because wo recognize in you all the elements for successful colonization. We see in the men, women and (diildren around us a people in every way suited to the wants of our province — a people industrious, frugal, moral and religions — in short a people well fitted to develop the resources of the country of your adoption. Through your etlorts and the efforts of those we hope soon to welcome, a healthful impulse will bo given to our agricultural wealtli and we believe that before many years have elapsed, New Kincardineshire will present a very different appearance from what it does to day, and that many an acre of unbroken forest will have given place to fields laden with golden harvests. Our heartfelt wish is that God may bless and [irosper you abundantly in your now homes, and that you may never have cause to regret the day when you landed on the shores of New Brunswick.

1 was enabled, by this jicrsonal intimacy, to establish a degree of confidence witli these people which secured a ready acijuiesccnce in the adoption of any mea- sures I determined on, and soon a hearty eo-o})eration with me was manifested on the jiart of the leading men of the colony that very iBatcrially aided ine in the discharge of the varied duties which rcipiireil promjjt consideration and action.

On the eveniiiLj of the lltli I returned to Kiliairirs and received a vin-y satl.s. factory report of i lie progress made durinir my alisence.Spi'ini,' was now fairlv set in. The rapid irrowth of vou-ctation was ipiite a .surprise to the colonists. Tiiey were all entlinsiastii'ally at work in jirepai'liiii' ground and plantinu' it almost lic- forc the lires were on t. Oeneral satislaction now l)e<fan to show itself. Out of what at the outset, way. to some onlookers, chaos and confusion, liad arisen a laru-e degree of comfort and contentment. Kvery efTort made had lieen fairly successful. Amon«r the oUO or tliereahoiits who had heen for now live week.s nriiler my care, aliont not) of whom were children under 12 years of age, no death had occurred. No sicknes.s, beyond some trilling cold.s, liad reipiired any medical attendance. Dr. MofVatt was assiduous and kind in liis attentions to the wants of the few who did require any medical aid, and cordially co-operated with me to secure satisfaction among the non-contents, of whom, after the first week, there Avere very few.

Having travelled over both lines of Road, and visited nearly every family, and liaving paid all the men employed on the roads, and being now satitied that I had so far accomplished the task I was so unexpectedly forced to undertake that I might, for a short time, leave the colony, I concluded to return down liver.

The conntrv thriaed, the ,ef tlement was fast assumin- the appearance ..f in.histrions thrii'i : and •unou" ihe settlers I found the l.est feelings prevaih^d, and <o iitlle did I lind re-iuirin'^ n.v attention that 1 was not detained lonuvr than ..ne dav anion',' them.

On the 12th, I came down river to Kilburns and h'eie -ot satisliieforv n.r.ort^ 0( the progress made in the road making, house l.nilding. and other woiks .'oimr on at Stonehaven during my ahsenc... I visile.! ail the colonists pavin.."them for tla.ir work on the roads. Many of th..,,! how.vr had <I..vote,| their tinie to planting a.id sowitig, and had got in a very lair crop considering the atnount of labor re.pured, varying in extent from one to live acres. Some of th.. men an.l women and many of the children had suflercd c.nsiderablv from black Hies and mos.p.,to,^s; but no sickness ha.l made its appearance. Kverv one cjove.l the best ol health, which all credited to the fine climate, wholesome water', and tlu- general contentment which prevailed among them. Jiv thi.s time a liberal su„ ply of mdk was obtainable among them, for a iagc number of cows ],ad alreadv been purchased by the colonists, and taken to the woods.

I visited the colony again on the 10th Septe.nber, meeting by appointment any who had bu.sincss w,th mo. Nearly all the heads of families met me, a.id frota them I reec.ved the most satisfactory accounts of their comfort and contentment and of the largo extensions of their choppings. There had been no sickness 'r-.u,g them. i'\, members in the colony had been increased by arrivals durinLr the laonths of July and August. These new comers we.e reudilv provided for and at once went to work, chiefly on their-own lands. There was little re.,uirin-' my attention beyond inquiring as to the work going on in Road makin- and pav" ing the men doing it; and I was enabled to get through with my woi-k here in one day.

I proceeded to the Danish Colony and on the 13th September met the Danes by appointment, and settled up withN. B.Jensen for the ro.-id bniidin- -ndor hi'^ contract. I was unable to go through the colony, [but learned from Jacob McKean, my overseer, that the other works were progressing satisfactorily, and

24

that more houses are being Iviilt. 1 hati, however, to regret tliat some of these colonists had left for the United States, ehiefly the unniari-iod men.

I again visited the Scotch colonists on the 7th of November last. I found them all very toler;il)ly j)re)tared for winter, their log houses being well calked with moss ami thoroughly banked up. The work on the roads for the season was now over, and 1 have jiaid all up in full to date. Among some of them considerable anxiety was expressed with regard to work for tlie winter. Most of these, I think, will lind some kind of employment and there is every prospect that they will get through the winter very comfortably.

During the season 1 had grubbed, levelled, and in some parts of it, turnpiked at this settlement, about twenty-five miles of road, making much l>etter road ac- commodation than is generally provided for new settlers. Tiiis will be nearly sufficient inlengtii foi' the Immigration of next year. At date of writing this re- port, I cannot state with exactness the number of houses built for these colonists. There are, however, about iUt of them.

During the Summer and Autumn, some additions were made to the colony. These, togetlier with those who arrived by the " Castalia" according to my counting of tliem (and 1 may say that I know nearly every person) make the total number of the Stonehaven colonists 543.

The following table shows the Immigration from Scotland during the year and their distribution : —

It is, however, to be remembered that many of the Colonists rented small parcels of laud from the farmers' on the river side at moderate rents, and ])lanted potatoes and other vegetables, raising fair crops.

STORE,

The store, bept by Mr. Taylor, is conducted in a manner that gives. I believe, general satisfaction.

SrHOOLS.

In the hurry and confusion of the Summer, no attention could be given to the organization of Schools in the Colony. School Inspector, Dr. Bernier, was, however, instructed to visit the Cohmy for the purpose of districting it under the Common School Act. He gave practical directions to some of the leading Colonists, by whom the matter was brought to the notice of all, and in a short time arrangements for the assessment of themselves for the sflpi)ort of two schools, one on each road, was soon made, and at the beginning of the present School Terra, these two schools were opened in charge of two of the Colonists. to whom, under the Regulations, a temporary third class Licence was granted by Inspector Bernier, and at the date of writing, these schools are in active operation.

CHURCHES.

Religious services on Sundays have been very regularly kept up in the Colony, and efforts have been made towards raising funds for church building purposes,

t ,/i

26

Mr. Troup ffivo luiicl. attention to the matter, and is sanguine that lie will, in Scotland, be able to raise funds sullicient to secure the early erection of suita'ljle cluirch acconnnodation. A luiid is already estal)lisl.ed among the Colonists for this purpose, and the proceeds of their first cllbrts in this line are now deposited in the Bank.

III!. STEWAHT.

During (he wintei' I purchased a farm on the Riser side for Mr. Hobt. Stewart. ol Duunotiir. containing about three hun.lred and fifty acres, situate about three nules from the Colony. On his arrival he at once settled to the active work of prepanng for putting in a crop, purchasing a pair of farm horses, a stock of cows, and a good supply of farm implements, waggons, &c.. and a tolerable sup- ply of manure.

He has been very succcssfid with this year's crop, having his large barns well hlled with hay, oats, buckwheat, and some other grains, and his cellars with a fine cropofpotatoes, turnips, and other vegetables. Jlis crop of turnips, over .'iOOO l)ushels, has .piite surprised some of his farmer neighbors, of the " farmim>> slipshod ' style. Mr. Stewart, assures me that he has raised this crop of turnips with about one half of the labor ho would have expended in raising the like quantity on his farm of new land, in Scotland, and that in size and quality he never saw better. With them he was, when 1 last visited the Colonv. feeding some cattle intended as beef for the spring market. Mr. Stewart's case illus"'- trates the justness of the remark of .\rr. Edward JJernard, Jr., special Dominion Agent to Europe, who in his report, speaking of Immigration to Quebec, says:—

'_' The farmers wlio, in my ojiiniou, are best suited to serve as models for the culti- vation ot our ordinary sized farms, aud wliose experience seems best a<lapted to our country, must be looked tor in llie lowhimls of Scotlaad. Ouv agricultural societies and other persons interested in the agricultural improvement ot this Province, would do a groat nmount of good, if they could induce two or three good Scotch farmers to settle with their families ni every County, and if possible in every Parish."

During my last visit among the Colonists, I made considerable encpiiry of them, as to their situation, coini)ared with what it would have been, had they remained in the positions they occupied before leaving Scotland, and the almost invariable answer is well illustrated liy the reply of one of ihe women, whose fortune it had Ijcen, entirely without my knowledge, to spend the first night in the Colony, in one of the partially finished houses, without door, or windows, and only part of a floor, but who now enjoys comfortable quarters in the same house, with about (10 liarrcls of potatoes, and other crops, the first of the labor of her- self-, husband and small boy raised from four acres cleared and planted after their arrival, in addition to which they have a large clearing ready for crop next spring: " Weel, indeed Ur. Stevenson, I'd amaist a mind to leave" next morning, )jut now you could na get me to gae back to Scotland ava."

THE DANISFI IMMIORATIOX.

I regret 1 am not able to give a tabulated statement of the Danish Iinuii.raiinn similar to that herein i,efore given of the Scotch. It wotdd not, however, be of the same satisfactory character. With them I found, that, with lew rx,.cptions only such as are married men with iiunilies, and who were in their own countrN practical farmers, became actual settlers. Without havhig an accurate statement" I leel warranted in saying that over one third of those who came to tl,is vu^mh-y nnder Capt. Heller's conlrol. have left it. Those however, who are settleil, are'a hue h|^% industrious and cm.rgeti(! people, most of whom will, i think make good settlors. '

The loss on these is largely owing to the non-selection of Imu-i-Tant-' u-ho in Denmark, had been farmers, or farm lal,orers. Those who are accustomed to o Iher trades or callings, are not well fitted for the hard labor of clearing of new hirm. The tra('t of land on which they arc kx-ated, is oiu" of the finest" 1 Irive .seen in New BrunsNvick, and I feci satisfied it will yet become a fine a-ricultm-al district. "^

_ During thi-. .rir.ter, they will lin.l plenty of employment, at a shorL distance from their homes, in getting cut cedar sleepers, of which tliore is a lar n- siinulv and for whieh tliere is an active demand. - n.-

From some cause which [ cannot explain, there was considerable sickness in this C\)Iony during the past sunimei-, though only one death occurred. This <icknes< is remarkable, inasmuch as among the Scotch Colonists, there were imt vcrv triflin-.- illnesses. T am assured that by the whole Scotch Colony, for the six months afteM- landing, there was occasion for paying for medical attendance, not iiioi-e than liftv dollars, while among the Danish Colony, in .several families, t!ie bills for med'i- ••al attendance was more than that sum.

NORTH .SHORE A(;BN'CY.

For the North Shore, Capt. Swinney did not secure as manv Immigrants as il was expected he would o))taln under the arrangements made Vith him to which reference was made in my Heport of last year,

Adam J). Shirretr. Esq., the Agent for the North Shore District, took cliar.re"of these Immigrants as they arrived. His very .satisfactory Report of the discluu-e of his duties, will be found in the appendix.

THE ST. .JOHN AGEXT.

During the past year, Robert Slaves, Es-i., has most cDiciently and satis factorilv discharged his duty as Dominion Immigration Agent, at St. John, and bv hi< kindness and prompt attention to the numerous matters cominu- under his ad ministration, rendered very valuable aid in the conduct of the Immigration to New Brunswick. His Report in the appendix shows very satisfactqry uicrease of Im- migration to New Brunswick, during the past year.

IMMIGRATION FOR 1874.

In connection,"howev(>r. with yoin- colony, the (Jovernnjent see tliiil the comfort ot the iraminmnls will be greatly considered, if they could Mecnre their bcinq; lauded hI Uiil!iuusii\ and you might miikiMn(iuiries as to tii, chaiu'cs of getting a steamer hound for (^ucbco to bring out your colony, and calling at Ualhousie. I do not think .sih would require more tiian two (lays and perhaps not so mucli to go to Dalhonsie. ami disembark passengers and their luggage.

I send you herewith a copy of the specificiition of the land cho|)|)ing and house biulil- ing cotitracts, to which I desire i)articular altrnlioii so thai coh.msts may fully umbtr- stand what they are tw evpect nu their arrival at their houses. Vou will uiiderslaml the burning will ndt be ina(b> till after the arrival of the immigrants, and that only th(> tirsi burning in to he made. No jjding is to be done. The houses will be a little open asili. unavoidable spaces between the logs will not be tilled.

These, as you know, can readily be tilled with ss by Ihp settler himself.

I also send yon herewith two plans of your Hetllement : one on it hirge scale, .show ing the location of the h(Mises and choppings. by which you can readily distribute tickets to your ((doni.sts. The other shows the location of the c(dony with reference to the Hiver Restigouche, Ualhousie, ("am|)belltoii, Intercolonial KaiKvay, and the road froui Dalhonsie tc'i'the setth-ment. Mr. Alexander Watt, whose lot and house an^ shown on the plan, is a verv successful farmer. In the trad you will observe two buildings markeil as • Kmigrant Muildings, .\os. 1 & -'." These are two buildings built in Spring of IS72, for a colony then e.vpectod. They are 2.'") "■ <>-' feet, with Id feet ceilin>is buili of s(|uare(l logs, ami i-an well be used for school houses or churches, and the lots on which they art' bull I together with the buildings, will be reserved and (h)nated to tin School Districts in which they respectively lie for school |)ur|)Oses.

The number of trees on an acre on these lots is variiibh", but I feel very safe in stal- ing that the avorage number, above six inches at the butt, per m-re, in not over -'no, varying from six inches upwards to perhaps two feet. The soil of the tr.act has alway.s been reported very line, and Deputy Sadler fully justifies the representation of it as con- tained in the sliwt pamphlet publisJit'd by the "(i'overrment, ami which appears in m_\ Immigration Report of last year.

My contract for road building will .si>curt< only such a road as will tolerably enable u> to get the colonists in ne.xt Spring, and will for a time answer very well for a new set- tlers' road. \Vhih< therefore I cannot give any assurances that then! will be work on the roads, 1 can say that if there be any the (Jovernment will hav.> pleasure in giving it to the new settlers on fair terms, even" if a little more than they would be re(|uired t(. pav for like work by oin- own people.

\V!iile the (Jovernment have nothing to do with providing^ stoves tor the new settlers. T have been making emiuiries arul have ascertained that a fair cooking stow with a tit- out of cooking utensils and pipe can be obtained, and put up in the house ready for use on the entrv" of the settler for about S'iO. I Ihereforo suggest tor the comfort of the immiirnint on his arrival, that you obtain from them the prk-e of this stove, and ad- \\Si' me as early as possible of it. l" will undertake to look after the procnring. forward- ing and putting up of these stoves, ready so that a tire may be put on at once on ar- rival at their honses. But to do this I'wish notice of it not later than the middle of March and earlier if possible.

Should the $Ml» be more than sullicient to pay for these, any balance can be paul to

the settler. 4. i ■

Shoidd it be found impossible to get the steamer to go to Dalhousie, vm- shoidd land Ihem al .St. John, and forward by rail lo Shediac, and steamer to Dalhousie.

iHOMAs Potts, Esq.,

It is reported to me, that the hind chopping,' at Stonehaven and Balmoral, is now done, and that very satisfactory progress is heinjr made with the hoii.^e Imild- ing; and I have every reason to believe, that the house contracts will he all com- pleted within the time named in them.

I feel very sure the arrangements I have made for the reception in New Brunswick of the Immigration of 1874, have in them all the elements of full success; that in the colonization enthusiasm of Mr. Troup, and his full knowledge of the details of the past year's operations, and in the zeal and energy of Mr. Potts, the Government have large guarantees, that a good class of Immigrants will lie se- cured, and that the details in Great Britain will be perfectly attended to. I am also very confident, that the same lively interest, and enthusiastic reception which greeted the Colonists this year, will be accorded to those who may next year be induced to trust their future to the soil, climate, and opportunities oflier- ed in New Brunswick, for the acquirement of healthful independence.

are ripe and abundant : haying then be-ins. In August early potatoes are brought f„ market, as also raspberries and other wild fruits. In September oats, wheat, and oHut cereal grains are ready for tho sickle : these are generally secured before October The autumn is long, and the weather is then delicious. This is decidedly the most Dleasanl portion of the year. There are usually heavy rains in November,' but when not wet the weather is tine and pleasant. The rivers generally close during the latter part of this month, and by the middle of December \nnter again fairly sets in.

The number of days during which rain impedes the operations of the British farmer is notoriously very great : but in \ew Brunswick the climate is more steady and equable Kains do not so frequently fall. Indeed, the snow of New Brunswick is only one half as heavy or wet as that of England, it requiring 17 inches of snow to average, when me ted, one inch of water, while in England 9 inches of snow average, when melted, on.- inch ot water. '

The operations of the New Brunswick farmer are therefore less impeded by rain than those of the English farmer, and there are more davs in which '.e can profitably work out-of-doors; while tho action of winter upon the soil, bv raising up and separating the •l". !.l'-„'^ '^"^'^ "8 materiaUy to lessen the labor necessary to bring it into a proner

eaves the land in a very friable state, and in better ord.>r for green crops than any num- ber of ploughings done, in winter could make it. On this account, I believe a pair horses couM work as much land here, under a given rotation (notwithstanding the shorter sea- ton,) as they do in Scotland.

The manner in which all root crops thrive is remarkable, and the frost, by openinc and pulverizing the soil is one of the agents by which the large product is brought about Ihe climate is also well adapted to the rearing of cattle. With proper care f hey rot only winter well but gain size and flesh. Even in Bestiguche, the most northerly Coun'ty in New Brunswick, the climate is, by reason of its dryness, less severe upon stock than markX' Britain. Large numbers of cattle are raised yearly for the United States

All the fruits generally tliund in England are grown in New Brunswick, especiaUy apples, P«f,>"«'Pl"mbs cherries, currants, gooseberries, and strawberries. The potatoes, of which the land yields 22G bushels to the acre, are superior to any in America Of wheat, the avera-. produce to the acre is 20 bushels ; of barley, 29 bushels ; of oats .34 bushels; of buckwheat, 33 bushels, of rye. 20 bushels : of Indian corn, 41 bushels i of potatoes, 226 bushels, or G^ tons ; of turnips, 456 bushels, or 13^ tons.

WUAT STRANOms SAY.

Major Tlobinson, R. E., who in 1845 explored the Province under direction of the British Government, thus describes the Province in his Report to the Im- perial Parliament:

Ai mspection of the map will show that there is scarcely a section of it ^nthout its str, ims. from the running brook up to the navigable river. Two thirds of its boundary ^ washed by the sea ; the remainder is embraced by the large rivers, the St. John and Rest.^ouche lor beauty and richness of scenery this latter river and its branches are not surpassed by anything in Great Britain. The lakes of New Brunswick ar^ numer- ous and most^beautiful ; it8 8urfa<:e is undulating, hill and dale varying to the mountain and valley. The country can everywhere be penetrated by its streams. In some parts of the 1,1 erior, by a portage of three or four miles, a canoe can be floated either to tho Bay Chalour or down to St. John, on the Bay of Fundy."

Some years ago, Professor Johnston, F. &. S., of England, the author of works on Agricultural Chemistry, was invited to visit New Brunswick for the puipose

which it ofTt-ra to tlie working,' and !i;,'riotiltur.al cIushcs, hut jiIho for th.' -id- vantiifres which it offera in a manufacturinfj and (•(.mmcrcial point of vil-w from itapiihlu-. works and ita Hnan<nal position. BusineHs men, rnerchantH' .mpitalis 8 and hankor.s will soon regard it as the ,.,p,a! of other ronntrics of the world. Hitherto, our eomparatively unknown condition has LTeatlv re- tarded our success." •'

" The multiplicity of commercial, and the crt-ation of financial, relations, will exert a direct an immediate effect on the course of emiL'/ation.' The' direction f,nven to capital is a f,'uide to tlie people.

^ "The press will not he slow in takinj,' its part in the movement, liy treatini' (.anadian (piestiona with the same interest, as disphiyed in the cases of Brazil and the United States." '

I believe that the above facts should he taken into considenition, in regard to t lie publicity to be given to Canada, pamphlets and advertisements an- extremely useful, but they appeal only to one'classof immigrants. There should, to complete it, be a publicatiim of information more extended, more varied, and of such a nature that thH interest of the general public may be excited; in fact, that laborers or peasants seeking intelligence respecting Canada, aho.ild not always leceive the answer that the country is absolutt'ly unknown."

In conclusion, it may be fairly claimed that New Brunswick has miinifested the strongest determination to ensun- tlie success of that liberal policy, initiated at the immigia.ion conference held at Ottawa, on the 19th Sept. 1871, and has filly performed her engagement, as contaiued in the seventh paragraph of the arrangement, in reference to immigration, between the Dominion and Provincial Governments which provides that—" The several provinces will mai ntain an efficient system of immigration agency within their respective territories, and will connect the same, so far as possible, with a liberal policy for th.' settlement and colonization of the uncultivated lands tliereof. '

No part of the Dominion offers better facilities for intending immigrants. With her commercial interests with keeping of keen-sighted, active, intelli- gent, prudent business men, with Iser fruitful fields offering an abundant re- ward to the industry of the farmer, who is fast becoming less lumberman than heretofore; witli her lumbering conducted by practical men, educated by personal ezpenence in all the details of this important business, now becoming more pro- fessional than heretofor.. ; with her shipping rapidly increasing, and now being budt for, and owned by her own people more than heretofore ; with her manu- facturing interests increasing more rapidly than heretofore ; with her inexhaus- tible fisheries prosecuted by hardy energetic men, with more skill, and by the aid of larger capital, and mon- extended market, than heretofore ; with her effi- cient system of education open, free, and equal to all ; wiih the spirit of Railway enterprise largely abroad among the people ; with these large inducements, and a fine climate ; so near to the great supply of immigration, that in eighteen days the immigrant can be comfortably occupying the house furnished by the liberality of her Government. New Brunswick offers to the industrious, a home , in which, in a short time, they can win that independence which it is the genius of the hardy honest sons of toil,the world over, to long for and struggle to obtain.
