The Grand River, or Ouse, intersects these townships a fine stream, spanned by several substantial bridges. This part of the country is densely populated and very fertile. The soil, for the most part, is a light rich loam. As soon as we had crossed the open country, we entered a narrow bush- road, only just wide enough for two persons to ride abreast.
When the authority, which is by general consent awarded to the laws, is disregarded, the governor puts himself at the head of the armed force of the state, to quell resistance and to restore order.
