The subject of this sketch was an active and ambitious lad from the time he was old enough to discard dresses in .the land of his birth, always avoiding to be entirely dependent upon parental 'Iupport. He was born in Berlin, Ger- many, in 1817, being now in the Slat year of his age. From the time he reached manhood; estate ‘he frequently nursed schemes of gigantic proportions, and 10an they proved to be ”castles in the air.” Daring his earlier years he men- nged to accumulsee valuable property in Deon and Blair, and ab one time owned a tine farm in Norfolk county, Ind ashare in the Clare foundry at Preston. But through unfortunate 'lpeculabiona and endorsing other people’s paper, he has been reduced to a. humble position. The vicinity of Deon was known as a paradise for tillers of the soil by the Indians, long before the advent of the white man. In the case of Samuel Betzner] and Joseph Sherk we have convincing evidence of this fact. When they arrived at what is now the site of Aneaster, they were informed by the red men that there was a locality a day or two’s journey distant toward the setting sun, where the soil was surpass- ingly rich and water pure and abun- Grit. They moved on, and in the time mentioned reached the banks of a beautiful river, a section teeming with animal life, and its waters alive with schools of the finny tribe. They were on the banks: of the GRAND RIVER. This was in the spring of 1800. Mr. Betzuer located on what is now the site of Blair, and Mr. Sherk settled on the 'north side of the river, directly opposite Doon. The latter farm was occupied until a few years ago by M r. Benjamin Sherk, when it was pur- chased by Jacob Gingerieh, Betzner and Shark were soon followed by Dilman Kinsey and John Bean, Sr., and others, who settled a short distance further west. The advent of Betzner and fiherk proves that this was a particu- larly inviting region, as their settle- ment, if not the first, was among the fuat in Waterloo County. TUE FATHER OF DOON. E Positively the most unique and pic- turesque figure of western Ontario, and the Father of Deon, is the venerable Fred Beck, the well known oatmeal vendor. His name is a household word from Waterloo to Hamilton. For more than an average life time, almost daily, through sunshine and through rain, often facing the blinding storms of winter, he has travelled some por- tion of this route. He has on many an occasion driven through the dismal Beverly Swamp in early days at a time when an attempt to penetrate that dreary barrier to settlers bound for the west, was equivalent to suicidal Intent. When a mere lad, Frederick came from Germany to this vicinity in company with his parents. They lived for many years in a small frame house which stood a short distance east of the waste gate, the site being now entirely sub- merged by the waters of the dam. "m At that time the embankment of the darn was some distance further back, in the vicinity of the rear of the Red Lion Inn, A tail race, conveying the water to the old saw mill, passed near the house. The father was engaged as sawyer in this mill, and many of the old frame build- ings throughout this section were con- structed of lumber and heavy timbers he saWecl out. In my notes on the old Kinsey grave- yard, last week, I neglected to mention a thrilling episode connected with it some forty years ago. A grave, which had contained the remains of one, Abraham Stauffer, for many years. was found to have sunk down several inches. The discovery caused quits a sensation throughout the neighborhood, and the supposition at once gained currency that graveyard ghouls had been at work. A number of neighbors assembled at the graveyard and pro- ceeded to open the grave for the pur- pose of ascertaining for certain whether the abode of the dead had actually been invaded by body-suatchers. and the diabolical theft committed. As the exhumers reached bottom the horrible hurt was revealed. Nothing remained but afew locks of hair and particles of the burial garments. The theft of the skeleton was evidently the ghastly work of some ambitious doctor, who sought to adorn his offiee closet with the necessary material for anatomical demonstration. Another incident con- nected with this burying ground that formed an exciting topic of neighbor- hood gossip, was the interment of several victims of the cholera, which visited this section in 1828. The deadly epidemic was brought in by a circus that pitched its tents in Gait some time during that year. FERRY' mum.' BIG ESTATE. It is probably not generally known in this section that the Ferry Bros,' land estate was about five hundred acres in extent. It included the farms of Aaron Good, John Slee, Frederick Beck and the site of the village of Deon. At that time Robt. Ferry was a prominent figure in Canadian poli- ties He represented the South Riding in the Legislature of United Canada in the Parliament which tirgt convened in 1854. His brother Adam was also prominent, being a moving spirit in iinaneial circles. It was his duty to superintend the farms, and it was his custom to frequently drive over the estate in a two-wheeled cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen. The firm dealt exten- sively in live stock, and during the summer season large herds of Devon- shire cattle could be seen grazing upon the hills and in the meadows of the estate. . VILLAGE OF DDQN The Old Gravegard--A Startling Revelation-The Ferry Bros., Bstate-Fred Beck, the Father of Doon. si-‘Ng Mr. Beck has been a widower for a. number of years, but; his daughter L‘zzie is keeping house for him. Oi his two daughters he is tond, and once when he had matured plans for build- ing a fine mansion his idea was to lay out a room for each, and to be sumptr uously furnished. In his barn are now two handsome parlor stoves which he had already purchased for the purpose. I designate him as the Father of Deon, he being the oldest and about the only one left who was identified with the early development of the village. The old gentleman is at times in- cline,d to think that he will soon be a candidate to pass "over the hills to the poor house," and thus end his struggle in old age to keep the wolf from the door. But it is very 11nlikely that his children, or other well-to-do relatives, would ever to permit him to take this humble stepin the declining years of his long and active career. Despite the fact, however, of his being now over eighty years of age, he is still in the ring, and makes his usual daily trips to Galt and Berlin supplying his patrons with oatmeal or pot barley. On these trips he is usually accompanied by his son John. The fiercest. blizz mi of winter has no terrors for him, and if he thinks there is fifty cents or a dollar in an oatmeal deal in Berlin or Water. loo, he will make the trip, when John has flatly refused to face the storm to accompany him. _ Cape Breton Gold Craze. Halifax, N.S., March 12.--The wildest excitement prevails here over the reports received from a Prospector who recently went to the Island of Cape Breton. A letter was received yesterday from Charles McKay, who went to Whycocomagh last year, say- ing that both Salt and Skye mountains, near this place, contain enormous de- posits of rich gold.McKay says he found one deposit two hundred feet wide running east and west three miles. The gold from this deposit assayed last week in Montreal, yielded from twenty dollars to a hundred and forty-four dol- lars per tom Mr. George W. Stuart, Mayor of Truro, one of the mesh expert and practical miners of Canada, was con- sulted. m went to Whycocomagh, visited the tunnel which had been driven into the mountain and was amazed at, the richness of the gold shown. He reported that the strike was the richest ever made in North America, About two o'elock Sunday morning iire broke out, in Wm. Molieever’e grocery store on Wallace street, Lis towel, which was destroyed with stock; and A. Hermiston’s furniture store, with a. small portion of the furniture saved;also a. portion of Kidd's livery stable burned. It is impossible at pre- sent to find the. amount of insurance andloss, but it is mostly carried by the Waterloo and other Mutuals, and will cover the lots, Origin of fire unknown, but supposed to be from de- fective than!~ or pipesw A Some are inclined to charge the old gentleman of being eccentric at times, and that be has been known to be in- terested in dog-breeding, having had as many as a dozen on hand at one time. The same authority also states that he has been known to give his home the appearance of a goat farm by keeping many goats, and then take a sudden turn from that industry to dealing id watches, clocks, spectacles and music, boxes, and that he has had as many as thirty or forty time-keepers on hand at one time in his residence, where his neighbors and friends would frequently congregate to make a. deal, in which case they were invariably made wel.. come, One night recently the writer had the pleasure of visiting his home which is to-day one of the oldest and most conspicuous landmarks of the village, Here I found a rare and valuable col lection of match boxes, tobacco boxes, spectacle cases, eta, of exquisite work- manship, which he brought over from Germany. A music box, a. minutely perfect figure of a bear carved out by hand from ebony is a novelty that would be priceless in the collection of one who admires the curious and rare, Bat the most interesting figure for study that I noticed on this visit was the venerable owner himself who is yet hale and hearty in the evening of life. On this occasion he was in a. talkative mood and the plans then whirling with- in his brain caused us to imagine that it they could be brought into effect Doon would again be a busy hive of in dustry, Onbe upon a time Mr. Beck had one of _his characteristic plans suddenly nipped in the bud. m had decided to build a large store in Deon, the style of the building to be entirely different from any other structure of the kind in the country. In 1876 he visited the Centennial at Philadelphia for the pur- pose of procuring plans and tsptycifits tions for the proposed building. After walking in his shirt-sleeves through the streets of the Quaker City and exam- ining the numerous costly buildings therein be came across a building which suited his fancy precisely. Upon inquiry he was stunned to learn that the front alone cost $20,000. This so dampened his ardor thatlhe immediately returned home and disposed of all the building material he had already pro- cured for the purpose. Mr. Beck is especially partial to light grey cloth, most invariably some part of his wearing material, if not all, being composed of that color. Even the male members of his family are often attired in the same material, and he even ex- periences delight in holding the ribbons behind a span of light greys, many fine specimens of which he has owned and driven in his time. In his younger days Mr. Beck was [great horse fancier, and has produced some of the fiuest teams that ever came down thelpike, He is also an ad- mirer of the opposite sex and even in his old age be has a keen eye for fiae- looking women.

From The Examiner, Charlottetown, WILHELM~At Wellesley, Mar. lst,tlle wife of W.C.Wilhelm, of a son. Hort---At Deon, Mar. 5th, the wife of Anthony Bolt, of a daughter. Perhaps the most remarkable cure that bus ever been recorded is that of little Minnie Woodside, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Woodside, of Baltic, RE I. Mr. and Mrs. Woodside are members of the Princetown Presbyter inn church, and are well and favorably known in the settlement where they reside. Mr. Woodside does an extensive business in oysters. A newspaper cor- respondent hearing of the remarkable recovery of this little girl, called on Mr. Woodside and ascertained the exact hurts of the case. The following is substantially the result of the inter- view .,-"Abotlts a year ago last Jane I first noticed that my little daughter was not as bright as usual and that she complained at times of pains in her head and chest. Up to that time she had regularly attended school and was remarkably clever for a child of her age. She did nothing except attend school and although I never supposed it would do her much injury, I allowed her to study too sedulously. Thinking that she was only a little run down I kept her from school for a few weeks and expected that she would be all right again. By the end of that time I was badly disappointed in my expec- tations, however, as she rapidly grew weaker and lost flesh every day. I was alarmed about her condition when she complained of a soreness in her lungs and began to cough. I was just prepar- ing to take her to a doctor when a neighbor called to see her and advised us to try Dr. Willliams' Pink Pills. She assured me that Pink Pills had re- stored her own daughter to health after several doctors had failed to do her any good. I therefore resolved to give them a trial and purchased a couple of boxes that very day. I be.. gan giving my little daughter those pills being very careful to follow the directions. At the and of a month I noticed a decided improvement in her health and thus encouragedI continued using the pills three months more. Her health was quite restored by that time and she “as able to attend school again. I regard my daughter’s cure as almost marvellous and accord all the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For little girls and boys of delicate consti- tutions no better remedy could possi- bly be prescribed, What was done for my little girl could certainly be done for other children."
