The farms are good. Three or four are well cultivated. Edward Farrell, Esq., is the owner of a hotel, accomodati'n excellent, situated on the bank of the river." In another place he.says: " On the 8th and 9th concessions lots 8 and 9, the farms are in a higher state of cultivation, 'perhaps, than in any other part of the township. Being first cleared, they are still in advance. There is a- beautiful garden on lot No. 8 in the 9th concession, almost the only one in Horton that deserves the name. This property belongs to Thomas O’Neill, Esq., named Castleford, Bonnechere Point, Thomas O'Neil, Postmaster."
