2?: The founders of the village of Doon were two enterprising Scotchmen, Robert and Adam Ferry, natives of Scotland, who arrived upon the s:ene some time in 1836. That they looked upon the locality as one in every Way adapted to the foundation of the exten- sive industrial enterprises, etc., they subsequently succeeded in bringing into existence, is evident from the fact that they gave it the name of Doon, a name familiar to every Scotchman, being derived from the locality made famous in song and story. I find the following in Chamber's Encyclopedia: "Doon, a. Scotch river. rising in the south-east of Ayrshire, in Loch Enoeh. It runs north-wt st through Loch Doon (5 miles by 2 mile, amid treeless mountains) past Dslmellington, Burns' monument, and Alloway Kirk, to the Frith of Clyde two miles south of Ayr. It is 30 miles long. On leaving Loch Doon, the river flows through Glen Ness, a huge, rocky and wooded ravine, not surpassed in picturesque beauty by any similar scenery in Scotland. On an islet in the loch are the ruins of Doon castle, where Edward, brother of Robert Bruce, is said to have lived. Burns has immortalized the Doon in song." Yet amid all these material pleasures I find food for serious refleetion, for it it while performing this duty I am reminded that I have already reached the summit on life's journey, and now have commenced the descent on the other side. Where thirtrfive Hears ago every man, woman and child in the community was familiar to me, the great; majority now appear as strange Gees. Many of those who were then in the prime of life have either re- moved to other spheres of labor or have joined the silent majority in the sacred inclosures of the dead on the adj icent hills. Some of the old land. marks that still remain simply as re- minders of the once great business activity of the village, are now silent and beginning to show the ravages of time, Yet in the quiet aspect we behold it now, the village still affords a picturesque or romantic spectacle, and is not by any means an inhospitable locality for those who seek rest in re tirement from active business life. In honor of the men who infused it with business life it was frequently oalled"Ferry’s†by the farmers in the surrounding country, a name yet familiar to those who still live and have recollections ofits early days. The site of the village is peculiar, while it is surrounded by numerous high hills it is of qutfiisient elevation to command an tsnobstraetetrview of the pictur- esque and fertile bottoms of the Grand river. From the summits of the grand old hills in the immediate vicinity, which are at this moment bereft of their beautiful green robes of summer by the dreary snows of winter, a view can be obtained that will amply repay those who make the ascent. The blue crest of the "pinnacle," the highest eminence in the county, looms up with considerable grandeur. The gradual cutting away of the forests for the past twenty-five years has rendered the view from this point far more ex- pansive, and to-day as far as the human eye is capable of observation we behold a vast rural district in the highest state of cultivation, splendidly im. proved and otherwise indicating thrift and energy. . Despite the Klondyke like weather that has prevailed the past week or two, I am in a mood to do this partic ular subject justice, because the inclement aspect of the weather should not in the least raffle the temper of the chap who is not confined against his will in a cozy farm house with abun- dance of fuel in sight, and an appar- ently inexhaustible supply of good fresh products of the soil to appease his hunger at intervals during the day. Havlng these earthly necessaries, it is a pleasure to defy the antics of the storm king in his efforts to enshroud the rural landscape in the frosty habiliment of winter. VILLAGE OF MN "Where'er I roam whatever realms to see, My heart untravell'd fondly turns to thee." "The place of rest and peace to me, is home, sweet home." I am forcibly reminded of this beautiful phrase while enjoying the kind hospitality of friends in the very centre of the scenes of my childhood and school days. To write of Doon is a familiar topic for me , it was amid the hills and hollows of this now unpretentious collection of human hsbittstions and abandoned industries that I was reared from infancy to manhood ; there is probably not a square rod of its soil that I have not cussed. I knew it in its palmiest days, when it was a busy hive of industry and in a commercial point of View, ranked next to Berlin, Galt and Water- loo. In pork, fat cattle and grain it actually surpassed those three placrs This fact is not generally known by the younger portion of the present population. Its Past and Present-Once the Thriftiest Community ot Wa- terloo County. About the first permanent settle. ment made in the immediate vicinity of Deon was by Christian Schneider, who was born in Warwick township, Lancaster county, Pa, August 28th, 1758, In 1806 he, in company with others, crossed the Alleghany moun- tains and came to Canada. In the same year they penetrated the dismal Beverly swamp and came to this neighborhood. Mr. Schneider settled upon and cleared up the farm now occupied by Aaron Good. He lived here with his wife, nee Maria Erb, for many years, where they reared a family of eleven children. The old house, which is occupied by the Good family, is one of the oldest landmarks in the township, having been erected by Mr, Schneider a short time after his arrival. His wife died in 1818, and In is stated by those who have dis- tinct recollections of that time, that in the fall at the end of the slaughtering season, the building would be cleaned up and used for holding Sunday-school during the winter and summer months. There are a number still living in the neighborhood who were regular attend- ants. Adam Ferry was its first leader, but about a. year after it had been established his brother, Robert, took charge. West of the stables and packing house stood a large two-story dwelling house, for many years occupied by one John Boos as a. boarding house for the coopers, a large number of whom were then employed. Mr. Boos was em- ployed as boss cooper. The house and cooper shop were destroyed by fire, the exact date of which I have been unable to learn. The cooper shop was rebuilt. It is now occupied as a dwelling by James Card. The erection of a slaughter house followed the still house, being a short distance north of the latter. Here hundreds of hogs were slaughtered dur. ing the fall, Near this building on the river bank stood a large packing house, where meny thousands of pounds of pork were packed and shipped during the season. The cattle and hog stables were in a building 75x100 feet. Hun dreds of cattle were fattened for the Eastern markets. They were fattened upon the refuse of the still house. At that time whiskey flowed almost as freely as water, hundreds of gallons being carried away by the farmers, many of whom came from Stratford and other distant points. In; the next issue of the CHRONICLE I will give further interesting remin- iscences of Deon and vicinity. An upright saw-mill also stood near the distillery. It served its purpose for many years converting into lumber millions of feet of timber. Its [erec- tion was anterior to that of the distil- lery, and I understand that it was washed away by the same flood that resulted in the destructtion ofthedistil- lery. The Ferry Brothers came here some time in the year 1836. Upon their advent the general business activity of the village began. They purchased the old Schneider farm from Samuel, son of Christian Snider, who had in. herited the property. The latter moved to North Dumfries. In the year 1837 the first mills were erected and were immediately followed by a distillery. Some time prior to 1850 the dam broke and the latter structure was swept away. The water upon this occasion burst forth with such terrific force as to carry large stones beyond the banks of the river on the other side. It was soon afterwards rebuilt, being a solid stone structure as formerly, near the south-east corner of the dam. The second structure met with a similar tste. Some time early in the sixties, years after it had been abandoned, the banks of the dam again gave away and wiped out of existence one of the most conspicuous landmarks of the village. _ The Canadian Home Journal. The Canadian Home Journal for March, is the best number of that pe- riodieal that ever came off the press, and has never been excelled by any Canadian publication. It contains a short contribution from Hon. F. E. A. Evanturel, Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, with his biography, photo- graph and autograph. Dr. P. H. Bryce, Secretary of the Ontario Board of Health, one of the best known physicians of Canada, contributes the titst of a series of twelve articles on health. The Woman's Historical Asso- ciation is explained by Mary Agnes Fitzgibbon as she alone can do it, Kate Westlake Yeigh describes the Lake of the Woods, and four handsome pictures illustrate her article. Julia Arthur, the famous Canadian actress who has won world-wide laurels, is one of a talented Hamilton family, and five illustrations made tsepecitslly for The Journal, accompany Miss Minnie J. Nisbet’s article about her sisters. Girls who work should read what Miss G. C. M. White says about them. The children will enjoy "Molly," and "The E fin's Cave" will fascinate them. The story of a Canadian song. the new woman, and the usual departments and music complete an exceptionally inter- esting number. THE CANADIAN Home JOURNAL, McKinnon Building, Toron- to. His pioneer home would in all prob- ability have been the original site of what is now known as Deon had it not been for certain existing circum- stances. Here might have been the centre of her industries had Mr. Schneider not been handicapped in his efforts to build a dam by being refused the purchase of a few acres of swamp land belonging to the Bean tract. As the dam could not be constructed with- out backing water upon his neighbor, an infringement of the law, he aban- doned the project. Had these obstacles not existed he would have erected a. grist mill and several other industries that were fast becoming necessary as the population increased. An old log barn stood on the premises for many years and is now oonfined within the present frame structure. Thousands View the Remains of the Late Prelate at Kingston. Kingston, Ont., Feb. 2S--Thousande have visited the Bishop's Palace to see the remains of the late Archbishop. The cathedral and chapel are draped with thousands of yards of black cloth. Telegrams and letters have been received from scores of church digni- taries, tendering sympathy. Nearly all the Canadian Bishops will attend the funeral. Mgr. Farrelly spoke in the cathedral Sunday, and so affecting- ly that tears were in many eyes. In the morning the body will be trans- ferred to the Cathedral. The service on Tuesday begins at f) mm.

Stratford, Ont, Feb. 24,.--For some weeks past at intervals farmers return- ing home from the city at night have help up by highway robbers. Suspic- ion eventually fell on three young men of this ci'y, two of whom, named Blair and Embling, were captured about a week ago. The third, Thomas Bell, eluded arrest: until about daylight this morning, when, after an all-night chase and tracking in the snow,he wasarrest- ed in the country in the neighborhood of Shakespeare by Chief of Police Mc- Carthy and Constable Robertson of this city. He stole a horse on the way to help his escape, but had abandoned it before the police caught up to him. He prevented the revolver which has done service in the hold-ups, at the police when they came up with him,but he was quickly disarmed and brought to jail. Jesse James’ literature is sup- posed to be at the bottom cf the mat. ter, as Bell, who is little more than a boy, is respeeeubly connected in the city, and from all accounts not natural, ly vicious.
