    DAVID STAUFFER,

    While in Conestogo last week I was afforded an opportunity of meeting this venerable citizen. Mr. Stauffer was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1813, being now in the 85th year of his age. His general appearance and unimpared mind and body would lead one to believe that he had not yet reached the sixties. He came to Canada about forty-eight years ago, and recollects when Berlin had only one mercantile establishment, then kept by one Fred Miller, and Jake and John Hoffman were about to open another. He has lived in Conestogo twenty-three years, living a retired life with his wife, who is now in ber 78 th year. Mr. Stauffer claims no relationship with the numerous family of Stauffers in Waterloo County, though his ancestors are of the same nationality and espouse the same religious faith. I have yet to see the person who has lived eighty- five years who can show less marks of an advanced age than Mr. Stauffer. He is a record breaker, and no mistake.

    In my next letter Winterbourne and its oldest citizens will be my subject. I believe this village takes the lead in the county for old people.
