TILSONBURG (P. O., DEREHAM)
A post village of the township of Dereham, situated on the Otter Creek, and on the Ingersoll and Port Burwell gravel road, distant from Woodstock 25 miles, from Ingersoll 15 miles, from Vienna 14 miles, and from Port Burwell about 18 miles. Lumber is the principal business of the place, in which there is a very extensive trade, and by the facilities afforded by the Otter Creek for propelling machinery and rafting lumber and timber to Port Burwell, Tilsonburg enjoys the largest trade in this branch of business of any other point in the County. Its general business consists of ten or twelve general stores, several saw and grist mills, a planing mill, foundry and machine shop, sash, blind, and door factory, pump factory, two washing machine factories, a shingle factory, and two turning shops, tannery, with shops of the various mechanical trades, such as carriage makers, cabinet makers, carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, &c., and butchers and bakers. There are two hotels. The legal, medical and other professions are also well represented. The village likewise contains two churches, and one large common school, besides two private ones. It is favorably situated for business, and from the excellent hydraulic power which it possesses, sites are available for other mills and factories. Coal oil has recently been discovered in the neighborhood, and wells sunk, and it is expected that ere long the oil business will become a remunerating and staple one in the district. The village is rapidly progressing in growth and commercial importance. There is a weekly newspaper published in it, issued every Thursday morning, and having a good circulation, of which T. A. McNamara is the editor and proprietor. There are daily stages from Ingersoll and Port Burwell. Mails daily. Population about 850.

WOODSTOCK
Is the County Town and Judicial seat of the County of Oxford. It was incorporated as a town by Act of Parliament 19 and 20 Victoria, cap. 98 (date of incorporation, 1st January, 1857,) with the following corporate limits, viz: "Commencing on the northerly limit of Dundas street, at a point where a post has been planted at the south-west angle of lot number 18, in the 1st concession of the township of Blandford; thence in a northerly direction along the western boundary of the said lot, to the allowance for road between the first and second concessions of the said township of Blandford; thence continuing the same course to the northerly limit of the said road allowance; thence westerly along the said northerly limit to the river Thames; thence in continuation of the last mentioned course, across the said river to the water's edge, on the westerly bank thereof, to a point opposite the southerly bank of Cedar creek; thence along the water's edge of Cedar creek, on the southern side thereof, to the eastern limit of the allowance for road between lot number 21 in the first concession of the township of East Oxford, and the Gore between East and West Oxford: thence southerly along the said eastern limit to the southern limit of the allowance for road between the first and second Concessions of the said towmship of East Oxford; thence easterly along the said southern limit to a point opposite to the centre of lot number 18 in the first concession of the said township; thence on a line equi-distant from the eastern and western side lines of the said lot number 18, on a course about north 15 degrees 40 minutes west, to Dundas street; thence continuing the same course to northern limit of Dundas street; and thence westerly along the northern limit of Dundas street to the place of beginning." This town is one of the municipalities of the North Riding of Oxford, of which it also forms electorally a part. It is situated on an elevated land contiguous to and parallel with the Great Western Railway, and on the borders of the river Thames and Cedar creek, distant from Hamilton 48 miles, from Niagara Suspension Bridge 91 miles, from Paris 19 miles, and from London, C. W., 29 miles. It has a fine healthy location, and is the centre of a rich agricultural country, unsurpassed for beauty of landscape and fertility of soil, being surrounded by well stocked farms, tilled in a superior style, with farm buildings of the most improved description, while the villa-like residences of the respective owners betoken wealth and refined taste. It has increased in population during the last ten years by one thousand two hundred and fifteen, its nunber according to the census returns of 1861 being three thousand three hundred and twenty-seven, (one thousand, six hundred and forty three males, and one thousand six hundred and eighty four females), and that of 1851, two thousand one hundred and twenty one. Manufactures of various kinds and general commerce, but more particularly the buying, selling, and forwarding of wheat, form the principal business of the place. Its general business comprises numerous stores-wholesale and retail- workshops of the various branches of mechanical industry. Especial mention may be made of the Woodstock Iron Works, established in 1842, and owned and carried on by H. P. Brown, where stoves, threshing machines, plows, cultivators, mill gearing, tin and sheet iron ware, are manufactured, and material turned out of the annual value of $30,000. In this establishment there is a 10 horse power engine in operation, and 18 men employed. The Vulcan Iron Foundry, of which Copp and Brother are proprietors, (who have also a large wholesale and retail stove and tin establishment in Hamilton), is another very extensive establishment, with a 13-horse power engine, employing 24 men, and melting about 300 tons of iron per annum. This firm manufactures Stoves, agricultural implements, tin and sheet-iron ware. There is also a magnificent brick-buiit steam grist and flouring mill, five stories in height, erected at a cost of $40,000, and carried on by Eaton & Wood. It was set in operation in 1856, and is celebrated in the New York market for its superior brand of flour; it is capable of maufacturing 250 barrels of flour per day. Henry Frizelle owns and carries on a steam grist and flouring mill, situated on Dundas street, East Woodstock, where he manufactures 100 barrels a day. Another mill, by Clarke & Co., turns out 50 barrels a day. There is likewise an extensive barrel and stave factory, owned by Thomas J. Clark. In the manufacture of leather, Brown & Wilson, have a very extensive tannery, situated near Cedar creek on Mill street; this firm have been doing business over twenty years. Lately they suffered a very heavy loss by the destruction of their prenmises by fire. New buildings are, however, now erected. Another tannery is carried on by Wm. Wilson, on Burtch street, East Woodstock, who is doing a large business. There is also a Patent Medicine factory, of which Robert Stark, chemist and druggist, is proprietor, where $50,000 worth of medicine is annually manufactured. Also a large wholesale and retail book and paper warehouse, and extensive blsnk book manufactory and general book-bindery on Dundas street, West-End, and another bindery establishment on Graham street. In the immediate neighborhood of the town and on the London and Hamilton road, there is the best oil refinery in the Province, owned and carried on by the following gentlemen as a firm: Jordan Charles, James Kintrea, and William Spencer, turning out 400 barrels of refined oil per week. There is also an extensive brewery carried on by S. Collins. The principal buildings of the town are of brick. It possesses an excellent Town Hall with Market House underneath, and surmounted by a belfry and Weather guage. The Courts of Law are held in a large and commodious building situated on Hunter street, and the offices of the County Clerk, County Court, and Deputy Clerk of the Crown, and Division Court Clerk are in the same building. Close to the Court house, and located on the corner of Light and Hunter streets, is the Registry office for the County and County Treasurer's office, built at an expense of $3,200. In rear of the Court House is the new jail erected in 1854-5, at a cost of $26,000; during the last year an additional expenditure of $6,000 was made toward its improvement and more comfortable accommodation. The town also contains seven churches, viz: one Church of England, one Presbyterian, in connection with the established church of Scotland, three Presbyterian, formed of the union of the Free Church of Scotland and original United Presbyterian, one Wesleyan Methodist, one Regular Baptist, and a Roman Catholic Church, whose services are conducted in the Town Hall, pending the erection of their new church. The Canadian Literary Institute is located at the east end of the town, and has a very pleaant site on a rising ground, commanding splendid scenic views. It is a noble structure, (reflecting great credit on its architect, David White,) of three wings or compartments, surmounted by a handsome dome, having five large entrance doors, spacious halls and school rooms, with comfortable and well ventilated dormitories for the resident pupils, together with ample play grounds and all the "means and appliances to boot," for their healthy recreation and amusement. With the great advantages which it possesses coupled with the efficiency of its staff of Professors and Teachers, this educational establishment is rendered one of the best scholastic institutions in the western part of the Province. The present structure has been but recently built, and on the site of the original one, which was erected at a cost of about $30,000, but which was destroyed by a disastrous fire in January, 1861. The Institute is under the control of the Regular Baptist denomination. It has three different departments, viz; Primary, Higher, and Theological, the average attendance on which, consists of fully 100 students. The Primary school is attended by pupils over eleven years of age, who study the various branches of an ordinary English education. In the Higher Department, the students are prepared for the study of Theology, or, for matriculation in Arts, Law, or Medicine. The fees for attendance in these departments vary from $20 to $28 per year. In the Theological Departmemmt, attended by about 30 students, the tuition is gratis. Woodstock is a chief Station of the Great Western Railway. Stages run from the Town north, south, east and west.
