The place for holding the township
election was changed to Bowman's
Mills.
The borough contains about 500
inhabitants, and about 100 residences.
A number of well-considered ordin
ances have been passed by the coun
cil, and when the machinery is put in
complete running order, Orangeville
will no doubt be a model municipal
corporation. C. B. White is President
of the Borough Council, and Clinton
Herring, Secretary.
(From our Correspondent.)
Orangevilleites are lately pricking
up their ears. The word is being
passed along the line that a great dis
covery has been made of valuable
mineral. This will make some of the
inhabitants carry their chins higher
than formerly. It is to be hoped that
their highest anticipations may be
realized. As I happen to be on the
wrong side of the creek, I do not ex
pect to derive any direct benefit from
their newly found treasure. But I
am always ready to rejoice with those
who do rejoice, etc.
Orangeville be it known has lately
become an incorporated town, a fact
that should redound to their benefit.
Mining districts frequently bring to
gether some of the rougher class of
society. As a borough they will be
better prepared to deal with that ele
ment. As I am no prophet I shall not
attempt to predict what may be the
result of their newly acquired dignity
as a borough or of their mineral
wealth. Either of these or both to
gether may result in producing in
some of them what is called the big
head. I do not know exactly what
that is, as I have never been troubled
with it, but from the manner in which
I hear it spoken of, I presume it is
something we do well to avoid. A
little history of the town dating back !
half a century or more may be inter- '
esting to some of the younger gener
ation. The town has not grown very rap
idly in wealth or population, but there
has been a decided improvement in
what tends to good morals. There is
still room for improvement. Whether
its mineral wealth or corporate power
will make things better or worse re
mains to be seen.
I first passed through the above
named village about fifty-three years
ago. It then contained four hotels
and two churches. The hotels have
been diminished by one, the churches
have been increased by a like num
ber. Herein consists the improve
ment in what tends to good morals.
The number of increase or decrease
does not tairly represent the case.
They have more preaching in either
church, the preacher is better paid,
and money is contributed for mission
ary work in other less favored dis
tricts. At the time of which I write
there was a distillery in full blast,
which furnished whiskey for home
consumption and helped supply other
pieces with the stuff.
There have been other changes in
the village. The inhabitants are .not
the same. There is but one man
now living in the village who was a
man living there at the time above
mentioned. William Fisher is the

oldest of the original inhabitants, per
haps the oldest man in the town, but
he is not the largest.
Rickets, Stewart, Covanhovan, Laz
arus atid some others who were
amongst builders up of the town and
filled prominent places in it, are all
gone. There are but few representa
tives of the above named families.
Orangeville is well supplied with
stores presided over by men in whom
the public have confidence. They
have dealers in coal, fertilizers and
railroad ties. Conner has facilities
for supplying the community with all
kinds of agricultural implements. In
fact the town is as nearly independent
of the outside world as a town of its
size can well be.
The township surrounding the town
is peopled in U12 main by well to do
citizens. The older ones of them are
all gone. Wesley Bowman and Jos
eph Crawford are perhaps the oldest
residents of the township. The town
has one older resident than the one I
named, Nathan Fleckenstine. Those
three have I believe, each rounded
out the four score years.
When I first knew the township,
the older members of the Kline,
Welsh, Patterson, Achenbach, and
Vance families were active citizens,
now their descendants are many of
them gray and bald-headed. Wiien
we think about the number who have
left us, and see every thing moving on
as usual, we can make up our minds
as to how much we will be missed
when our turn comes to leave. C.
