in November of the same year, and on 31st December was gazetted
commandant of the School of Infantry, Infantry School corps. On the
16th May, 1884, he was re-appointed deputy adjutant general
district No. 8, New Brunswick, holding at the same time command of
the school and corps which he had successfully organized. In May,
1885, Colonel Maunsell formed a temporary battalion, composed of
the School corps and companies (6) active militia of New Brunswick,
and (2) of Prince Edward Island for immediate active service in the
North-West Territory, and proceeded with this battalion en route to
the North-West, but on the 18th of that month was ordered into
camp at Sussex, to await further orders. On the 25th May he
received the thanks of the authorities, and the different companies
were sent to their local headquarters, their services not being further
required. In addition to the above Colonel Maunsell served with the
fifteenth regiment in several Mediterranean stations, when his
regiment was sent to reinforce troops during the Crimean war; and
in the years 1855-6 he travelled on foot and on horseback
throughout Spain. He has been from youth up an adherent of the
Episcopal church. On the 9th August, 1862, Colonel Maunsell
married Miss Moony, elder daughter of the late F. E. Moony, J.P., D.L.,
of “The Doon,” King’s county, Ireland, and has a family of seven
children, four sons and three daughters. His eldest son is captain in
the 8th regiment P.L. cavalry, New Brunswick, and his eldest
daughter is married to J. W. de Courcy O’Grady, of the Bank of
Montreal, Ottawa.

Baxter, Robert Gordon, M.D., Moncton, New

Brunswick, was born on 28th April, 1847, at Truro, Nova Scotia. His
father was John Irving Baxter, born in Annan, Dumfriesshire,
Scotland, in 1803; educated in Pictou, Nova Scotia, and for years
was the Presbyterian minister at Onslow, N.S. His mother, Jessie
Gordon, was a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Gordon, of Prince Edward
Island, whose mother afterwards married the Rev. Dr. McGregor,
Presbyterian minister of Pictou, N.S. Dr. Baxter received his early
education in Truro, and pursued his medical studies in New York and
Philadelphia, and in London, England. In 1868 he began the practice
of his profession in Philadelphia, and in the following year removed
to Tatamagouche, N.S., and in the summer of 1870 to Moncton,
where he has resided since. He has held a lieutenant’s command in
the third regiment Colchester County Militia since June 21st, 1865;
and was the first chairman of the Board of Health of Moncton. He
takes a great interest in public enterprises, especially in agriculture,
and was the first to introduce into New Brunswick and bring to
public notice the system of ensilage, now so popular in Great Britain,
and of so much advantage to stock raisers. He has travelled over the
greater part of Canada and the United States, and has visited
England, Scotland and several of the continental cities. The doctor is
in religion a Presbyterian. On the 29th January, 1872, he was
married to Jean McAlister, of Moncton, and has two children, a son
and a daughter.

Branchaud, Moise, Q.C., Beauharnois, Quebec province,

was born at Beauharnois, on the 6th March, 1827. His father, Jean
Baptiste Branchaud, bourgeois, of Beauharnois, and his mother,
Louise Primeau, were both descendants of two of the earliest
colonists of the Seigniory of Beauharnois. His father died in 1883, at
the advanced age of eighty-three, enjoying the esteem and respect
of his fellow citizens. Mr. Branchaud was sent, at an early age, to the
College of Sainte Thérèse de Blainville, where he made a brilliant
course of classical studies. On leaving college he entered the office
of the Hon. Lewis T. Drummond, to study law, and he was admitted
to the bar on the 27th February, 1849. Immediately after his
admission he took up his residence in Beauharnois, where he has
practised his profession to this day. At that time there was only a
circuit court sitting in the district of Beauharnois, with a jurisdiction
of $80.00; this was increased, in 1851, to the sum of $200.00. In
consequence of this limited jurisdiction, his professional
advancement was but slow. However, when the “Act relative to the
division of Lower Canada into districts for the administration of
justice” came into force, there was a decided change. By virtue of
said act, a Superior Court was established in the district of
Beauharnois, with an unlimited jurisdiction in all civil and commercial
cases; as well as a criminal court and a circuit court. His practice
then took such an extension that, after a few years of assiduous toil,
he possessed a competency which enabled him to look tranquilly to
the future of his young family. His zeal and honesty in the exercise
of his profession was never challenged, either by his numerous
clients or his confrères. In 1858 he formed a partnership with Sir
John Rose, for the administration of the legal business of the
seigniory of Beauharnois, which was then very important and
extensive. This partnership existed until the departure of Sir John for
London, England. The following letter, written by Sir John before his
departure, shows the high esteem in which the baronet held his
young partner:

“Montreal, 30th September, 1869.

“My Dear Branchaud,—A thousand thanks for your kind note, the contents
of which affect me very deeply. Every recollection associated with our
intercourse is, I can assure you, of the most pleasant character, and I look
with great regret at having to say good-bye to so many attached friends. I
would have been deeply gratified to have seen you at the dinner, but the
expression of your kind wishes will long be remembered by me. That every
good thing may attend you is the earnest wish of your sincere friend—John
Rose.”

This affectionate letter, coming from such an eminent man as Sir

John Rose, who attained such a high position among the most
eminent men in England, is preciously preserved by Mr. Branchaud,
and the feelings of friendship and esteem he always held towards
the baronet are still warm in his heart. During his sojourn in
Beauharnois, in the summer of 1858, the Right Honourable Edward
Ellice, then proprietor of the seigniory of Beauharnois, showed
special marks of honour to Mr. Branchaud. He was invited to all the
dinners which he gave, whether to the principal citizens of the place,
or to his distinguished visitors from England. On one of these
occasions he met Lord Frederick Cavendish, the victim of the Phœnix
Park murder, Dublin, and Lord Grosvenor, now Duke of Westminster.
They were both very young then, and were going on a hunting
expedition to the western prairies. On returning home Mr. Ellice tried
to induce him to accompany him, and made him very flattering
promises, but the extended practice Mr. Branchaud had acquired did
not permit him to accept such an agreeable invitation. He regrets
having declined now, for he will never have an opportunity, if he
should take a trip to Europe, of forming acquaintances which the
high position of Mr. Ellice could have facilitated. He nevertheless
keeps a grateful remembrance of the old gentleman, who had so
much regard for him. In 1859 Mr. Branchaud married Marie Elizabeth
Henrietta Mondelet, a daughter of the Hon. Judge Charles Mondelet,
of the city of Montreal, one of the judges of the Superior Court for
Lower Canada, and of Dame Maria Elizabeth Henrietta Carter, a
daughter of the late Dr. Carter, of Three Rivers. Madame Mondelet
was the niece of Captain Brock, a nephew and aide-de-camp to
General Brock, and of Dr. Johnston, in his lifetime inspector general
of military hospitals in the Ionian Islands; and a first cousin of the
late Judge Short, of Sherbrooke. Mr. and Madame Mondelet died
many years ago. The Hon. Dominique, Mondelet, a judge at Three
Rivers, was the elder brother of Mr. Branchaud’s father-in-law. They
were the sons of Dominique Mondelet, a member of the old
Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, and also a member of the
Executive Council under the administration of Lord Aylmer. In politics
M. Branchaud was an advanced liberal in his youth, but his opinions
have greatly changed during the last few years. Experience and age
always exert a soothing influence on the ideas and sentiments of the
generality of men, and Mr. Branchaud did not form an exception to
the rule. He would not be so willing, to-day, to endorse the political
and social principles formulated in the programme of L’ Avenir, and
which were so enthusiastically adopted by the young men who
founded that paper. However, Mr. Branchaud thinks one may be
liberal without sharing the opinions of the nineteenth century
philosophers, and without believing in the omnipotence of universal
suffrage to save society—such safety being more certain in the
hands of the few than in those of the greater number of its
members. The democratic ideas carried to extreme limits will cause
the fall of modern empires, as they have produced the fall of the
older ones, and what is happening to-day in Europe is only their
natural consequences. The actual opinions of Mr. Branchaud do not
find favour with either party. His independence of character and his
well-known frankness are obstacles which would prevent his success
in politics. So for many years he has not engaged actively in them.
However, he does not conceal his opinions when called upon to
express them. Thus he desires the continuation of Sir John A.
Macdonald’s administration because he thinks the national policy
would run great dangers in the hands of Mr. Blake, and the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company would find very little sympathy with him, in
case of necessity. This company, being still in its infancy, may yet
want the support of the government, and Mr. Branchaud thinks it
would be to the interest of the country to grant such help. It is
hardly to be expected that a man who has tried to arrest its progress
in each phase of its existence would be kindly disposed towards it at
a given moment. At all times he has repudiated the Rielite
movement in Lower Canada, as tending to arouse prejudices and
race hatreds, and to retard the progress of the country, and the
conduct of the government in letting the law take its course, has had
his entire approbation, as the only practical way of restoring peace
and harmony, which would have been threatened as long as Riel
would have lived. In conclusion we may state that Mr. Branchaud
has been the promoter of the Beauharnois Junction Railway
Company. The road is intended to run from Ste. Martine to Dundee,
where it will connect with the American system. The building of this
railway will place Beauharnois—undoubtedly a town of future
importance, on account of the beauty of her site on the St.
Lawrence, and the extent of her water powers—in the first rank
among the important cities of the Dominion. Mr. Branchaud has
worked for several months to organize the company, and he is
confident that his efforts will soon be crowned with success. He was
ever ambitious to see his native place prosperous, and in the
evening of his life he is happy in the hope that the earnest wish of
his heart will soon be gratified. The Hon. James Ferrie is president of
the new company, and Mr. Branchaud vice-president.

Irving, James Douglas, Major, and Brigade-Major of

Military District No. 12, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was
born at Charlottetown, on the 12th February, 1844. His father,
Robert Blake Irving, was born in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
and emigrated to Prince Edward Island about the year 1832. Here he
engaged in the profession of teaching, and in addition took an active
interest in politics on the Liberal side until the confederation of the
provinces, when party lines having been broken, he became a
supporter of the Liberal-Conservative party. He was of a literary turn
of mind, and contributed largely to the columns of the Examiner
newspaper when it was under the editorial management of the late
Hon. Edward Whelan, writing strongly in support of responsible
government, free schools, the settlement of the land question by the
government purchasing from the proprietors and reselling to
tenants, and for confederation. He married in 1843 Joanna
Charlotte, a daughter of Thomas Rhodes Hazzard, a U. E. loyalist,
who came to Prince Edward Island from Providence, Rhode Island,
with his father and family at the conclusion of the war with the
revolted colonists. Major Irving received his education in his native
parish in the private school taught by his father. On the 26th of
March, 1867, he was appointed a lieutenant in the Active Militia of P.
E. Island, and was shortly afterwards promoted to a captaincy. After
confederation he was given a commission in the Canadian Artillery
Militia, and subsequently commanded the P. E. Island provisional
brigade of Garrison Artillery. On the 1st of April, 1885, he was
appointed brigade-major of Military District No. 12, and this position
he at present holds. He was deputy-prothonotary of the Supreme
Court of P. E. Island from 1st March, 1871, to 1st April, 1885;
registrar of the Court of Chancery, and also that of the Vice-
Admiralty Court from 28th March, 1876, to 1st April, 1885; and Clerk
of the Crown for P. E. Island from 1st August, 1883, to 1st April,
1885. For many years Major Irving has been an active member of
the Caledonian Society, and in general takes a deep interest in all
that appertains to his native island.

Creed, Herbert Clifford, Fredericton, was born at

Halifax, Nova Scotia, September 23rd, 1843. His father, George John
Creed, of Faversham, Kent, England, was clerk in the Royal Engineer
department (with rank of lieutenant), at Halifax, N.S., for thirty-five
years. He was the eldest son of Richard Creed, who also was in Her
Majesty’s service, as clerk of works, R. E. D., with the rank of
captain. Both father and son were, at the time of their decease,
retired from active service upon ample pensions. Richard Creed’s
youngest daughter was the wife of the late Hon. Jonathan McCully,
senator of Canada, and afterwards judge of the Supreme Court. The
mother of the subject of this sketch was Susan, eldest daughter of
John A. Wellner, of Halifax, N.S., a manufacturer and at one time
owner of extensive property in that city and in the county of Hants.
He was of a family that came out from England among the original
settlers of Halifax, with Governor Cornwallis. Herbert Clifford Creed
received his academic education chiefly in the High School
connected with Dalhousie College, Halifax. He matriculated in the
earliest class of undergraduates in Dalhousie College in 1857,
studying till 1860, the college proper having in the meantime been
discontinued. In 1861 he entered Acadia College, Wolfville, N.S., and
took the regular four years’ course there under the presidency of the
late Rev. J. M. Cramp, D.D. He graduated in 1865 with honours in
classics, having also held the highest place in his class throughout
the whole course. From August, 1860, to June, 1864, Mr. Creed was
teacher of French at the Collegiate Academy and Ladies’ Seminary at
Wolfville, N.S.; from the autumn of 1865 till the spring of 1869, he
filled the position of head master of the County Academy at Sydney,
C. B.; and from 1869 till June, 1872, was principal of the Seminary
at Yarmouth, N.S. In 1869 the degree of A.M. was conferred upon
him. In the following autumn he accepted the principalship of the
English High School, Fredericton, N.B., but resigned it at the close of
1873, in order to take a position offered him in the Provincial Normal
School of New Brunswick, and here he has continued, with various
changes of work, down to the present time. His position now is
officially designated as “Mathematical and Science Master, and
Instructor in Industrial Drawing,” the term “Professor” not being
applied to the instructors or teachers in this Normal school. Mr.
Creed was elected a member of the Board of Governors of Acadia
College in 1883; a senator of Acadia College in 1882, and secretary
of the Senate in 1883; all of which offices he now holds. In 1871 he
was made one of the examiners of the college, and filled the
position for several years. He is secretary of the Educational Institute
of New Brunswick, having been re-elected every year from its
organization in 1877; vice-president of the Baptist Convention of the
Maritime provinces for the current year; a director of the Baptist
Annuity Association of New Brunswick and of the Maritime Baptist
Publishing Co. He was at one time president of the Associated
Alumni of Acadia College; president of the Fredericton Young Men’s
Christian Association, and for eight years secretary of the
Fredericton Auxiliary Bible Society. Mr. Creed has been connected
with the following among other Temperance societies:—The Sons of
Temperance since 1857, and is a P.W.P.; the Temple of Honour and
Temperance from 1871 to 1875, and is a P.W.C.T. and past deputy
G.W.C.T.; the Temperance Reform Club; the New Brunswick Branch
of the Dominion Prohibitory Alliance. He has also been connected
with the Masonic order, in which he is a past master; the
Independent Order of Oddfellows as a P. G. and a P.D.D.G.M.,
Independent Order of Foresters, and is at present H.C.R. (presiding
officer) of the High Court of New Brunswick; and is a past
commander in the American Legion of Honour. Mr. Creed has written
largely for the press, for the most part anonymously, on educational
topics; on the temperance question; on matters of Christian doctrine
and practice, etc; and has also prepared a variety of matter for
school texts and other books. On November 4th, 1867, he was
married to Jessie S., third daughter of John F. Marsters, of St. John,
N.B., customs broker and forwarding agent, and has a family of four
children, three sons and a daughter. Mr. Creed has been a member
of the Baptist church since he attained his seventeenth year.

Harrison, Thomas, LL.D., President of the University of

New Brunswick, Fredericton, was born at Sheffield, New Brunswick,
on the 24th October, 1839. He is son of Thomas Harrison, by his
wife Elizabeth Coburn, and grandson of James Harrison, of the
county of Antrim, Ireland, who emigrated to South Carolina in 1767.
During the Revolutionary war Lieutenant James Harrison, with his
elder brother, Captain Charles Harrison, fought under Sir Henry
Clinton, on the British side, and in 1783 these gentlemen came
among the loyalists to New Brunswick. Charles Harrison was
appointed lieutenant-colonel of the militia of the county of Sunbury,
by Governor Thomas Carleton, in 1784, and the two brothers settled
at Sheffield, Sunbury county. James Harrison married Charity
Cowperthwaite, of a Quaker family from Philadelphia, and in 1806
died, leaving five sons and four daughters. Their descendants are
numerous, and are mostly settled in New Brunswick. Thomas
Harrison, the subject of our sketch, was educated at Trinity College,
Dublin, under the tutorship of Dr. Salmon, F.R.S., whose works have
for many years been the standard treatises for advanced students in
some of the highest branches of modern mathematical science. He
was a first honour man in mathematics, and was elected a
mathematical scholar in Trinity College in 1863. He also attended law
lectures, and took the degrees of B.A. and LL.B. in the University of
Dublin in 1864, and afterwards the degrees of M.A. and LL.D. in the
same university. In June, 1870, he was appointed professor of the
English language and literature and of mental and moral philosophy
in the University of New Brunswick. In 1874 he was made, by the
Dominion government, superintendent of the meteorological chief
station at Fredericton, and in August, 1885, president of the
University of New Brunswick, and professor of Mathematics by the
Provincial government. Mr. Harrison is a member of the Episcopal
church. He married, in 1865, Susan Lois Taylor, daughter of the late
John S. Taylor, of Sheffield, N.B., and niece of Sir Leonard Tilley,
K.C.M.G., lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick. The fruit of this
marriage is two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, John Darley
Harrison, is a member of the graduating class of 1887 in the
University of New Brunswick.

Blanchet, Hon. Joseph Goderic, Collector of

Customs, Quebec, is a descendant of one of the first families that
came from France to Canada, and is a son of Louis Blanchet, of St.
Pierre, Rivière du Sud, and Marguerite Fontaine, whose family came
from Picardy, in France. Joseph G. Blanchet, the subject of our
sketch, was born at St. Pierre, on the 7th June, 1829, and received
his education in the arts at the Quebec Seminary and at the Ste.
Anne College. He afterwards studied medicine with his uncle, Jean
Baptiste Blanchet, M.D., and for many years practised his profession
at Levis, during which time he stood high among his confrères of the
medical fraternity. Dr. Blanchet, jr., took an active interest in the
militia of his native province, and in 1863 he raised the 17th
battalion of Volunteer Militia Infantry, which he commanded, holding
the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He had command of the 3rd
administrative battalion on the frontier during the St. Albans raid in
1865, and the active militia force on the south shore of the St.
Lawrence river, in the Quebec district, during the Fenian raid of the
next year, and also in 1871. Dr. Blanchet, during his residence in
Levis, occupied many prominent positions. For six years he was its
mayor. In 1870 he was elected president of the Cercle de Québec; in
1872 president of the Levis and Kennebec Railway; and in 1873 he
was appointed a member of the Catholic section of the Council of
Public Instruction for the province of Quebec. Though a busy man,
Dr. Blanchet did not neglect the interests of his country. He took an
active part in politics, and as early as 1857 he presented himself as a
candidate for Levis in the Legislative Assembly of Canada; but,
although he made a good run, in the end he was unsuccessful in
securing his election. Four years later he again presented himself as
a candidate in the same constituency and succeeded, and sat from
1861 until confederation in 1867, when he was returned by
acclamation to the House of Commons. There he continued to sit
until 1874, being meantime speaker of the House of Assembly of the
province of Quebec, from the meeting of the first parliament after
confederation, until the dissolution of the second parliament in 1875.
The year before this latter date, in consequence of the passing of
the law respecting dual representation, he resigned his seat in the
House of Commons in order to continue to hold one in the provincial
assembly, which he did, as representative for Levis, until the general
elections in 1875, when he was defeated. In November of that year,
a vacancy having occurred in the representation for Bellechasse, in
consequence of the elevation of the sitting member, Mr. Fournier,
who had been made a justice of the Supreme Court of the
Dominion, he presented himself for election, and was secured this
seat; and in September, 1878, he was once more returned for Levis.
At the general election held in 1882 he was again returned by his old
constituency, but only held the seat for about a year, when he
resigned to accept the collectorship of the port of Quebec, and this
office he still holds. When the Hon. Mr. Blanchet was speaker of the
Quebec House of Assembly, he showed fine talents in that capacity,
and made an admirable presiding officer, and some time before the
fourth parliament had met, his name was again mentioned in
connection with the speakership, he being a Conservative and his
party once more in power. On the meeting of the House of
Commons in February, 1879, he was unanimously elected speaker of
that august body, and the choice proved a wise one, for he soon
showed himself an adept in parliamentary rules and tactics, was
prompt and impartial, and on his retirement from office carried with
him the good will and respect of both sides of the House. In August,
1850, Hon. Mr. Blanchet was married to Emilie, daughter of G. D.
Balzaretti, of Milan, Italy, and the fruit of this marriage has been six
children, four of whom are dead, three having died in infancy.
 Harris, Michael Spurr.—The late Michael Spurr Harris,
of Moncton, New Brunswick, who was born at Annapolis Royal, Nova
Scotia, September 22nd, 1804, and married, May 11th, 1826, Sarah
Ann Troop, of Granville, Annapolis county, N.S., was descended from
a long line of ancestors. One of these, Arthur Harris, came from
England, and was among the earliest settlers in Duxbury, Plymouth
county, Massachusetts. In 1640 he moved to Bridgewater, Mass., and
a few years afterwards, about 1656, he took up his residence in
Boston, where he died on the 10th June, 1674, leaving a widow and
five children. Samuel Harris, a direct descendant of Arthur Harris,
married, in 1757, Sarah Cook, in Boston, from whence, about 1763,
they emigrated to Nova Scotia, and settled in Annapolis county at a
place called Mount Pleasant, near Bridgewater, and here Samuel
Harris died in 1801, leaving several children, among others the
father of the subject of our sketch, Christopher Prince Harris, who
died in Annapolis county, near Digby, 30th January, 1853, and his
widow at the same place in 1862. Sarah Cook, wife of Samuel
Harris, was a grandchild of Francis Cook, who came with the first
Pilgrims from Plymouth, England, to Plymouth, America, in 1620. Six
years afterwards her grandfather, on her mother’s side, came out to
the Plymouth settlement, and he it was who, in 1676, captured the
celebrated Indian chief “Annawan.” Michael Spurr Harris received his
early education in the parish schools of Nova Scotia, and passed his
boyhood at his father’s home in Digby county, N.S. When quite
young he went to St. John, N.B., and entered the employ of Mr.
Peterson, a carriage-builder, where, after serving his apprenticeship,
he began business; and in 1826 married Sarah Ann Troop, and
settled in St. John, continuing his trade of carriage-making. A few
years later moving to Norton, Kings county, N.B., he extended his
business, and remained there until the fall of 1836, when he moved
with his family to Moncton, N.B., then called the Bend of Petitcodiac.
Here he became largely interested in the lumber trade and shipping,
building and owning vessels and sawmills. He was one of the earliest
prominent business men, and foremost in promoting the social,
commercial, and industrial welfare of Moncton. Comparatively self-
educated, his manner of life did not throw him in conflict with others
in political questions; but he held liberal and advanced views on the
leading questions of his day, and supported the policy of provincial
responsible government, the union of the provinces, and the
encouragement of manufactures. He was a magistrate, and held a
justice’s court for many years. From about 1840 to 1862 he was very
actively engaged in shipbuilding and the shipment of lumber to
England, which at that time were the leading industries of the
province. His business called him frequently to Great Britain, and he
was known among shipping men in Liverpool as a man of strict
business integrity. The town of Moncton elected him its mayor in
1859, a position which he filled with much ability. Possessed of
strong natural powers, a fine physique, a kindly and courteous
manner, and a strong belief in the orthodox Christian faith, he lived a
useful and exemplary life, and died at his home in Moncton, January
26th, 1866, of paralysis, a malady which had for some years
previous deprived him of the active use of his limbs. His remains are
in the family lot at Moncton cemetery.

Bell, Andrew Wilson, Carleton Place, Ontario, was born

in the town of Perth, county of Lanark, Ontario, on the 14th
February, 1835. His grandfather, the Rev. William Bell, who came
from Scotland in 1817, and was the first Presbyterian minister in
Perth, died in 1857. His father, John Bell, carried on business in the
same town as a merchant from 1828 until 1849, when he died. A. W.
Bell received his education in the old district grammar school in
Perth, and after leaving school began a busy and useful career. In
March, 1885, he commenced business at Douglas, Renfrew county,
with Charles Coulter, under the name of Bell, Coulter & Co., general
merchants, and next year having admitted into the partnership
Thomas Coulter, of Clayton, Lanark, they traded in the villages of
Douglas and Eganville under the name of Bell & Coulter, and in
Clayton as Coulter & Bell. The partnership was dissolved in the
spring of 1858, each partner taking the branch he then had in
charge. Mr. Bell was then a resident of Eganville, and in the spring of
1859 he sold out his stock to the Coulters, and removed to Carleton
Place for a few months. In the fall of the same year he again began
business in Douglas, and in 1862 entered into partnership with
Donald Cameron. The new firm did a large local mercantile trade,
and sent several rafts of square timber to the Quebec market in
1863-4. This partnership was dissolved in 1864. Mr. Bell, in the years
1858, 1865 and 1866, carried on saw-mills at Eganville and Douglas;
and in 1864 and 1865, having joined William Halpenny, in Renfrew,
under the name of A. W. Bell & Co., they carried on a general
mercantile business. In 1867 Mr. Bell removed from Douglas to
Newboro’, Leeds county, and where he bought out the business
belonging to John Draffin. In this place he remained until April,
1872, and then took up his abode at Carleton Place. Here he
prosecuted his mercantile business until 1875, and then, selling it
out to a partner he had admitted in 1873, he retired into private life.
In addition to his other business enterprises, Mr. Bell has dealt
considerably in real estate in the counties of Lanark and Renfrew,
and has bought and sold many thousand acres of farm lands, and
built several shops and dwellings in Carleton Place, which he still
owns. In 1856 he was appointed postmaster in Eganville, Renfrew
county, which position he held until 1859, when he resigned; again,
in 1862, he was appointed postmaster of Douglas, in the same
county, and resigned in 1867. In March, 1862, he was made clerk of
the Seventh Division Court for Lanark and Renfrew, but when these
counties were separated in October, 1866, he gave up the position.
In 1862 he was made a notary public, and also commissioner for
taking affidavits and an issuer of marriage licenses. In 1863 the
Government conferred upon him the commission of a justice of the
peace. In 1873 the Board of Trade of Ottawa appointed him official
assignee for the county of Lanark, and in 1875 the Government
appointed him to the same office, and this office he held until the
repeal of the Insolvency Act. Mr. Bell also acted in the capacity of
creditors’ assignee in the counties of Lanark, Renfrew and Pontiac,
and was arbitrator for the Canada Central Railway at Renfrew and at
Pembroke, and purchased part of the right of way for the railway
company. Mr. Bell was the originator of the Winnipeg and Hudson
Bay Railway and Steamship Company,—his name being first in the
charter as passed by parliament,—and he also had a hand in
procuring two other North-West charters. Mr. Bell is a member of the
Masonic fraternity, having joined in June, 1859. He held a
commission as lieutenant, and afterwards captain, in the militia,
dating from July, 1856. Though brought up as a Presbyterian, Mr.
Bell now attends the Episcopal church, his wife being a member of
that communion. He married, 27th July, 1857, Jane Andersen,
daughter of the late James Gibb, merchant, of Glasgow, Scotland.
Mrs. Bell died on 2nd June, 1886.

McIntyre, Right Rev. Peter, D.D., Bishop of

Charlottetown, was born at Cable Head, in the parish of St. Peter,
Lot 41, Kings county, Prince Edward Island, on the feast of SS. Peter
and Paul, June 29th, 1818. His parents, Angus McIntyre and Sarah
McKinnon, Scotch Highland Catholics, emigrated from Southwest
Inverness-shire to Prince Edward Island, towards the close of the
last century. Providence blessed their industry and integrity; and
they were enabled not only to have “full and plenty” for a large
family of sons and daughters, but also to extend the sacred rites of
hospitality to all who came in the way. Mr. McIntyre’s house at Cable
Head was one of the principal stations of the late Bishop McEachern
in that part of the country—before there was a church at St. Peter’s
—and his children were naturally enough brought to the notice of
the pious and discerning bishop. The bishop, it is needless to say,
entertained a very high regard for Angus McIntyre and his family,
and his lordship insisted that the youngest son, little Peter, should be
sent to college to be educated for the church. Mr. McIntyre was well
aware that the proposed undertaking would be exceedingly heavy, at
a time when schools were few and means were not easily obtained.
But out of respect for the wishes of his bishop, he generously acted
upon the suggestion, and his son Peter was accordingly among the
first students at the opening of old St. Andrew’s College. After the
death of the good Bishop McEachern, in 1835, young McIntyre
expressed a strong desire to be sent to Canada to pursue his
studies. This wish was complied with by his kind father, who placed
him in the college of St. Hyacinthe, where he remained for five
years, entering the Grand Seminary of Quebec in 1840. After a three
years’ course at the Grand Seminary he was, on the 26th of
February, 1843, ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Signay in the
Cathedral of Quebec, and returned to his native diocese the same
year. We have been told by an old friend of the family that when
young McIntyre first went to college, his father had accumulated
quite a large sum in Spanish dollars, and so was enabled to promptly
make generous remittances to his son and pay the college bills on
presentation. The same good friend also tells us that by the time
young “Father McIntyre” returned from Quebec the Spanish dollars
were pretty low, but not exhausted. May it not be that the generous
manner in which his venerable father furnished him with ample
funds until he was able to provide for himself, materially helped to
form and develop those generous, hospitable and princely traits of
character which we all admire in Bishop McIntyre. The first
missionary duties of Father McIntyre were performed as assistant to
Father Perry. After a short time, however, he was appointed to the
charge of Tignish, Lot 7, the Brae and Cascumpec, with his principal
residence at Tignish. There he lived and laboured for seventeen
years; and it was there that he first gave evidence of his talent for
building. The Acadian French, who form the largest proportion of the
Catholic congregation at Tignish, were, at that time, neither rich in
this world’s goods nor counted enterprising. Yet to them belongs the
very great credit of building, under the direction of Father McIntyre,
the first brick church—if we mistake not, the first public building of
brick—ever erected in this province—a church which, at this day, is
one of the finest on the island. Inspired by their enthusiastic priest,
the poor French people made the bricks, hauled them to the site,
laid the foundation, and built the church. They had little money, but
much zeal; and they were led by a man of rare administrative ability.
To the church at Tignish was added a handsome parochial house
and a fine convent, both of brick. A church and parochial house were
also about the same time built at Brae. The talents and zeal of
Father McIntyre were soon recognized by a church which—whatever
her faults—is not slow to see and reward true merit. On the death of
Bishop Macdonald, he was appointed to preside over the Roman
Catholic diocese of Charlottetown, comprising Prince Edward Island
and the Magdalen Islands; and on the 15th of August, 1860, he was
solemnly consecrated Bishop of Charlottetown. The ceremony was
performed by the late Archbishop Connolly, of Halifax, assisted by
the late Bishop McKinnon and Bishop Sweeney—the late Bishop
Mullock, of St. John’s, Newfoundland, and Bishop Dalton, of Harbour
Grace, being also present. Under the administration of Bishop
McIntyre great attention has been given to the education of the
youth of the Catholic people and to the erection of buildings in which
to carry on the work of the church; and the bishop’s talent for
building has found scope. The first work of consequence which he
undertook was the rebuilding of St. Dunstan’s College. The Catholic
population of the island at the time of Bishop McIntyre’s
consecration was 35,500. There were only thirteen priests to
minister to their spiritual wants. The Catholic population is now
about 55,000, and there are thirty-seven priests with well organized
missions. The new parishes established by Bishop McIntyre are
Cardigan Bridge, Montague Bridge, Cardigan Road, Morrell, South
Shore, Hope River, Lot 7, Lot 11, Brae, Palmer Road, Little Pond,
Bloomfield, Alberton, Summerside, in Prince Edward Island, and
Bassin in the Magdalen Islands, which form part of the diocese.
Besides the splendid episcopal residence in Charlottetown, which
was much required for the diocese, he has built St. Patrick’s School
(one of the finest buildings in the city); St. Teresa’s Church, Cardigan
Road; St. Francis’, Little Pond; St. Mary’s, Montague Bridge; St.
Andrew’s, St. Peter’s; St. Lawrence’s, Morell; St. Michael’s, Corran
Ban Bridge; St. Patrick’s, Fort Augustus; St. Joachim’s, Vernon River;
St. Lawrence, South Shore (the first stone church built on the
island); St. Anne’s, Hope River; St. Charles, Summerside; St. Mark’s,
Lot 7; St. Mary’s, Brae; St. Bridget’s, Lot 11; St. Anthony’s,
Bloomfield; SS. Simon and Jude, Tignish; St. Thomas’, Palmer Road;
Sacred Heart, Alberton; and in the Magdalen Islands, Notre Dame de
la Visitation, Amherst; Etang du Nord, St. Pierre; Bassin, St. François
Xavier. This is work enough, one would say, for one prelate and an
indefatigable staff of clergymen for one generation; but besides
these churches, many of them splendid specimens of architecture,
there have been eight conventual establishments erected and
founded within the last twenty-five years in various parts of the
province, which educate annually thousands of pupils. The chief part
of the labour of the churches was done by the zealous people in
several of the parishes. In 1877 Bishop McIntyre organized the
Central Council of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, with affiliated
societies in every parish of the diocese. He has accomplished a great
work in the suppression of intemperance in many parts of the island.
In 1878 he founded the City Hospital, which has already done a vast
amount of good, and has stimulated others to found another
hospital for the sick. His lordship has visited Rome four times since
his consecration, and on one occasion extended his journey to the
Holy Land. He took part in the Œcumenical Council of 1870, where it
was generally conceded that no more imposing figure was seen in
the grand procession of churchmen, than that of the venerable and
stately Bishop of Charlottetown. In person his lordship is above the
medium height, his carriage is stately and his step elastic. His
activity is remarkable; few young persons could endure the amount
of travelling and fatigue which is constantly undergone by Bishop
McIntyre, upon whom it has no ill effect whatever. His voice, which is
low and sweet, is so clear that he is easily heard even at a great
distance. His prepossessing appearance and courtly manner, no less
than his genuine kindness of heart, have made him hosts of friends.
He is highly esteemed by Protestants throughout the province, from
whom his blameless life and fearless advocacy of what he deems to
be right command respect. The bishop takes a great interest in
education, and is invariably present, when his duties allow him, at
the examinations in his Catholic schools. It is to his lordship’s
unflagging energy and zeal that St. Dunstan’s College owes its
present hopeful position. Besides providing for their secular
instruction, the bishop has always been much interested in the
spiritual welfare of the little ones of his flock; it is his delight to
preach at the children’s mass on Sundays, when the large
congregation of young folk listen to his clear and practical
instructions with profit and pleasure. He is a clear, forcible speaker,
impressive if not eloquent, with a perfect command of good Anglo-
Saxon. Though a zealous prelate, he has never been known to give
utterance to any intolerant expression against those differing from
him in religious matters. He has been to Charlottetown, and the
island generally, a public benefactor. Though drawing close to the
seventies, his eye is bright, his lip is firm, and his face fresh. He has
a fine constitution, rises between four and five a. m., and has a day’s
work done before most Charlottetown folks are out of bed. He has
many years of usefulness ahead of him, and hopes not to complete
his labours until he shall have built a magnificent cathedral in the
metropolis of his province. That such a great worker deserves and
receives the gratitude of his own people might be expected, that he
should and does command the admiration of all classes is only
reasonable; and that he enjoys the esteem of his peers is witnessed
by the number of bishops and archbishops who did him honour on
the occasion of his silver jubilee, which was celebrated in
Charlottetown, on the 12th of August, 1885, amid the
congratulations and good wishes of all classes, creeds and
nationalities in the community.

Fitzgerald, Rev. David, D.D., Charlottetown, Prince

Edward Island. This reverend and highly respected divine was born
at Tralee, in the county of Kerry, Ireland, on the 3rd of December,
1813. He is the eldest surviving son of William Fitzgerald, barrister-
at-law of Adrivale, county of Kerry, who married Anne, sole daughter
and heiress of the Rev. Robert Minnitt, of Blackfort, county of
Tipperary, and rector of Tulla, county of Clare, whose ancestor,
Captain John Minnitt, came to the country in the reign of Charles II.
One of Mr. Fitzgerald’s ancestors was a captain in King James’ army.
This gentleman lived during the reign of six English monarchs, and
died at the advanced age of 116 years. Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald was
educated at schools in Clonmel and Limerick, and obtained his A.B.
degree and divinity testimonium at Trinity College, Dublin. In
February, 1843, he married Cherry Christina, second daughter of
Rowan Purdon, M.D., a physician of established reputation and
extensive practice in Kerry, his native county. His brother, Richard,
was a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, and his son, George, was a
scholar in the same university. In June, 1845, after a creditable
examination by Rev. I. T. Russel, archdeacon of Clogher, he was
ordained deacon at Tuam by Lord Plunket, bishop of the diocese,
and in 1846 was ordained priest by Lord Riversdale, bishop of
Killaloe, on letters dimissory from the bishop of Clogher. He began
his ministry as curate to Rev. Geo. Sidney Smith, D.D., ex-fellow of
Trinity College, Dublin, at Cooltrain, county of Fermanagh. He then
had charge of the district church, at Maguire’s Bridge, in the same
county, where as secretary to the Poor Relief Committee of that
place, he established a soup kitchen for its famine-stricken
inhabitants, and was the means by obtaining subscriptions from
absentee landlords and other benevolently disposed persons, with a
ton of rice from the Quakers, of providing daily suitable cooked food
for four hundred families for several months, and left on his
departure over £100 in the hands of the committee to carry on the
work. In June, 1847, he came out to Prince Edward Island as
assistant minister to Rev. Dr. Jenkins, then rector of St. Paul’s
Church. On the retirement of Dr. Jenkins and that of his successor,
Rev. C. Lloyd, in 1857, he was appointed rector of the parish, which
he served without intermission for thirty-eight years, when in 1885
he retired from active duty. For upwards of twenty years he was a
member of the board of education, and a trustee of the Lunatic
Asylum, and for some time was chaplain of the Legislative Council.
He is the author of several printed sermons and pamphlets, and has
delivered lectures on various subjects for several years. In 1881 he
took the degrees of A.M., B.D., and D.D., at King’s College, Windsor.
On several occasions since his retirement, he has occupied the pulpit
in the parish church and in other churches in the province, and
hopes while he has the power of utterance to speak a word for the
Master and for the edification of his followers. Three of his children
have been called from this world, and three remain, viz., Rowan
Robert, Q.C., stipendiary magistrate and recorder of Charlottetown;
Sidney David, chemist and druggist, now residing at Kansas, U.S.;
and Minnitt John, for many years connected with the Union Bank of
Charlottetown, now amalgamated with the Nova Scotia bank of
Halifax. Mr. Fitgerald’s religious views have undergone no change.
He is to-day what he was fifty years ago, an Evangelical churchman.
He has been a member of the L. O. A. since 1832, when he became
secretary to Calvin lodge, No. 1509, then established in Dublin. In
1848 he joined the order of the Sons of Temperance, and is a
member of the National division. He has seen some service and
undergone some labour, and trusts that the years already past have
not been spent in vain.

Brock, Major-General Sir Isaac, K.B., was the

eighth son of John Brock, and was born in the parish of St. Peter’s,
Port Guernsey, on the 6th of October, 1769, the same year which
gave birth to Napoleon and Wellington. He entered the army as
ensign in the 8th Regiment of Infantry by purchase, on the 2nd of
March, 1785. In 1790 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant,
and at the close of the same year obtained his captaincy and
exchanged into the 49th regiment. In June, 1795, he purchased his
majority, and on the 25th of October, 1797, he was gazetted
lieutenant-colonel. In a little more than seven years he had risen
from the rank of ensign to that of lieutenant-colonel. He served with
his regiment in the expedition to Holland under Sir Ralph
Abercrombie in 1799. He greatly distinguished himself at the battle
of Egmont-of-Zee, where he was wounded. He was second in
command of the land forces in the celebrated attack on Copenhagen
by Lord Nelson in April, 1801. On its return from Copenhagen the
49th was stationed at Colchester till the spring of 1802, when it was
ordered to Canada, where its distinguished commander earned the
fame and performed the gallant services which have so endeared his
memory to the Canadian people. At Fort George, shortly after his
arrival in Canada, Brock quelled an attempted mutiny with great
firmness and tact. His regiment soon became one of the most
reliable in the service. In 1806 Brock succeeded to the command of
the troops in Canada, and took up his residence in Quebec. In 1811
Lieutenant-Governor Gore went to England on leave, and Major-
General Brock was appointed administrator of the government,—and
thus happened to be the civil as well as the military head of the
province of Upper Canada on the outbreak of the war with the
United States in 1812. He at once threw himself with great vigour,
and with the full force of his soldierly instincts, into preparations for
the war. Upper Canada then had a population of only some seventy
thousand; the United States had a population of about ten millions.
In Upper Canada many of the settlers were aliens from the States—
half-hearted, if not absolutely disloyal. The timid viewed the outlook
with grave misgivings. In fact, the surroundings were enough to
discourage the stoutest heart. It was in these circumstances,
entering upon what seemed almost a hopeless struggle, that the
noble courage, the unfaltering determination, and the perfect faith in
his country, of General Brock shone out with such striking brilliancy.
Our Canadian poet, Charles Mair, in his drama of “Tecumseh,” has
given fine expression to the spirit which animated Brock, when he
puts in his mouth these words: —
