d transported for life.
The disgrace had such an effect upon the father, that he never held up
his head afterwards; he was ashamed to be seen in the parish, and at
last he resolved to emigrate to a new country, where what had happened
would not be known.

He accordingly sold off everything, and came to Canada; but by the time
that he had arrived in the country, and paid all his expenses, he had
little money left; and when he heard from Mr Emmerson the terms offered
by Mr Campbell, he gladly accepted them. The wife, his two sons, and
his daughter, who came with him, were as industrious and respectable as
himself.

The second family, of the name of Graves, consisted of a man and his
wife, and only one son--a young man grown up; but the wife's two sisters
were with them. He had come from Buckinghamshire, and had been
accustomed to a dairy farm.

The third family was a numerous one, with a man and his wife, of the
name of Jackson; they had been farmers and market gardeners near London,
and had brought out some money with them. But, as I have mentioned,
they had a very large family--most of them too young to be very useful
for a few years. They had seven children--a girl of eighteen, two boys
of twelve and thirteen, then three little girls, and a boy, an infant.
Jackson had money enough to purchase a farm, but, being a prudent man,
and reflecting that he might not succeed at first, and that his large
family would ran away with all his means, he decided upon accepting the
terms proposed by Mr Campbell.

The fourth and last of the emigrant families was a young couple of the
name of Meredith. The husband was the son of a farmer in Shropshire,
who had died, and divided his property between his three sons. Two of
them remained upon the farm, and paid the youngest brother his
proportion in money, who, being of a speculative turn, resolved to come
to Canada and try his fortune. He married just before he came out, and
was not as yet encumbered with any family. He was a fine young man,
well educated, and his wife a very clever, pretty young woman.

Thus there was an addition of twenty-one souls to the population of Mr
Campbell's settlement, which with their own ten made a total of
thirty-one people, out of whom they reckoned that thirteen were capable
of bearing arms, and defending them from any attack of the Indians.

Before harvest time, the cottages were all built, and the emigrants were
busy felling round their new
