JONES, Rev. PETER. An Indian Missionary. B. at Burlington heights, near Hamilton, U. C., 1802. D. at Brantford, U. C., 29 June, 1856. He belonged to the Ogibway tribe of Indians, and was known by the name of "Kahkewaguonaby." He early manifested a thirst for knowledge, and through the aid of his friends and others obtained a good English education. In 1833 he was admitted as a priest in the Wes. Meth. Ch., and up to the time of his death devoted himself with zeal and earnestness to his ministry. He had visited and preached in the U. S. and Gt. Brit., in both of which countries he made warm friends. During his stay in London he rendered very effectual service to the several Indian tribes in N. Am. His industry and application, in everything which he undertook, were great. His services in the cause of Christianity among his countrymen were incalculable.

"Mr. Jones was a man of athletic frame, as well as of masculine intellect; a man of clear perception, good judgment, great decision of character; a sound preacher, fervent and powerful in his appeals; very well informed on general subjects, extensively acquainted with men and things, serious without gloom, cheerful without levity, dignified and agreeable in his manners; a faithful friend, a true patriot, a persevering philanthropist; a noble specimen of what Christianity can do for the Indian Gentiles of Canada, and therefore for the Gentiles of the whole world."-REV.

VI. History of the Ojebway Indians; with especial reference to their conversion to christianity. With a brief memoir of the writer. London, 1861, pp. 278, 8vo.

"Not a few of the incidents and anecdotes of this history of the red man come up to our memory with a pleasing vigour and freshness, from having heard the viva voce delineations of its accomplished author. Probably no man could speak with greater authority on the past state and future prospects of the North American Indians than Mr. Jones, having himself been a Chief of one of the tribes. After his conversion to christianity, not only was his life spent as a preacher of righteousness among the various tribes, but he employed every means within his power for the amelioration of their condition. It is to be regretted that a man of such parts as Mr. Jones, was so soon removed from a sphere in which his endeavours to benefit his race were so eminently owned of the 'Great Spirit'; but, in the interesting sketch of his life,-in which are brought out some touching exemplifications of that inner life, which marks the character of the true child of God,-there is ample proof of what Divine Grace can accomplish in these dark places of the earth; and a striking reproof and refutation of the views of those who have from time to time maintained the impossibility of morally or spiritually elevating the wandering tribes of North America. Mr. Jones' graphic and interesting narrative, which death prevented his own hand from completing, is of essential value as shewing the native habit and moral tendencies of the mind of the untaught Indian; while to the lovers of philology, and all who take an interest in these remarkable people, his brief account of the different languages in use among the various tribes, cannot fail to be of interest and service.”—Witness (Edin.)

In the following year, the Canal was adopted as a provincial work by the Govt., and its enlargement was commenced. Mr. K., then being in his 20th year, was appointed to the charge of the enlargement of the feeder, and continued to be the only engineer in charge until the appointment of the engineer-in-chief in 1842. Since then he has been employed upon a large number of provincial, municipal and private undertakings, his professional services being sought for in Can., the Lower Provinces, and the U. S. He was one of the first Engineers to prepare the necessary plans for the construction of the Great Victoria Bridge across the St. Lawrence, of which plans several were adopted almost exactly by the Eng. Engineers. It has been claimed by his friends that, "all which is peculiar, all which distinguishes this bridge from any other, is derived from him," while several Can. and Am. writers on the bridge, give him a foremost position in relation to it.
