Cedar Creek

Chapter 40

* * * * *

Now for the prospects of the settlement which we have traced from its first shanty to its first street. Its magnates looked forward confidently to its development as a town--nay, perchance as a city of ten thousand inhabitants, when it purposes to a.s.sume a new name, as risen from nonage. Future maps may exhibit it as Wynnsboro", in honour of the founder. A station on the line of rail to connect the Ottawa with Lake Huron is to stand beside that concession line (now a level plank road) where Robert Wynn halted eleven years ago, axe in hand, and gazed in dismay on the impenetrable bush.

THE END.
