The feature for which Eugenia is most noted and oftenest visited, is the far-famed Falls of the Beaver River, known as “ Artemesia” or “ Eugenia ” Falls. The river, a very considerable stream of clear cold water, plunges over a precipice of 70 feet. in one unbroken sweep. The view, especially from below, is sub- lime. The rocks are precipitous on either side, and on the northern side a steep hill rises from the brink to a considerable height above the Falls. The descent into the wild ravine be- low is attended with some difliculty. We were unable, on the occasion of our last visit, to make the descent, being in mid-winter. The cataract shot out, from under a jagged curtain of blue ice. and disappeared in the huge crater of a rising ice-cone that had crept up one-third the height of the Falls. All was silent, majestic, and most beautiful. Adventurous visitors in summer sometimes go be- hind the sheet of falling waters. but it is an operation attended with diffi- culty. at times rather dangerous, from the blinding and stifling force of the spray.

A town plot in the township of Artemesia, at the Falls of the Beaver River, 45 m. from Flesherton, 20 m. S. of Meaford. 26 m. from Collin»;-l wood by present route, and 35 from Owen Sound. In August, 1858, Messrs. Purdy commenced operations in Eugenia. A house was run up, a small clearing made. c., near the brink of the Falls. The sawmill was built in 1859, and the flouring mill put in Operation in 1860. The town plot consists of 800 acres. None of it except the mill plot is yet sold by the Government. A few inhabitants have taken posseSsion of town or park plots, and some improvements have been made. In 1864. the Muni cipal Council of rtemesia memorial- ized the Crown L nd Department in favour of selling the lots in Eugenia and Priceville. The people of Eu- genia opposed it, as far as their town was concerned, and the Department took their view of the subject. ‘Residents giving the COunty Crown Agent satisfactory proof of having built on the town lots. or made improvements to a specified extent on the Park lots, are allowed to pur- chase them of the Government at fixed reasonable rates. The inhabi- tants think this is more to the interest of the village than having the town plot sold by auction, as in the latter case a large proportion would get into the hands of absentees. The place has now out.grown its first difficulties; mills have been built. a village site cleared. roads to some extent opened outâ€"and a steady growth may reasonably be anticipat- ed. The place was surveyed nine or ten years ago, during the Crimean War. and the names of the “ streets,” Alma, Balaklava, Raglan, Codring- , ton, c., bear witness to the exciting linterest of the time. The village contains a post office and store, a tavern, three or four carpenters, a grist mill, a sawmill, a plasterer a painter, ahoot and shoemaker. c. There are two first-class water priv. ileges, not in use, above the Falls. in the town plot, besides the rapids below the Falls, and the Falls them- selves. which latter, it is hoped, may be long unvexed with labouring wheels, to give pleasure to the lovers of the picturesque. the grand and the beautiful. The grist mill is 45 by 35 ft., 35 stories high, contains two run of stones, and water power and room [or more. The river is very swift. and the water abundant, and “ no dam ” is required. The mill is a very short distance above the brink of the Falls. The sawmill is a little further up. At another excellent water privilege, a quarter of a mile above, the frame of a woollen factory was erected, but has not been finished. Elliott, Thos., boot and shoemaker. Bligh.

The best route from Owen Sound is by the Toronto and Sydenham Gravel Road to Flesherton. Eugenia is two miles from the nearest point on the Gravel Road, which would be three miles east of Flesherton. From Collingwood the route would be via Southampton and Maxwell. In either case, the best return route is by the descent of the Beaver River Valley to Meaford. The magnificence of the view will more than compen- sate for the newer and rougher road. R. McLean, Purdy, Esq.: the cour- teous postmaster at Eugenia. exhibit s in his store the antlers of an immense Moose. found in a chasm of the rock below the falls. The animal had probably fallen into a snow-covered chasm, and perished by wolves or hunger. From tip to tip the antlers would measure when uninjured (one is complete). 4 ft. 8 in. The whole weighs, with one antler mostly gone. and the lower jaw wanting, 16b lbs., or about 30 lbs. complete. The un- broken antler has, for the length of 16 inches. a breadth of 8 inches on its “ flati” in other words a piece 16x8 inches might be sawn out of one horn. Mr. Purdy also shows the curious visitor. some specimens of the “ Fools’ Gold” of 1852; and '° thereby hangs a tale.” In 1852, when the country was very new and wild. somebody thought he had dis- covered gold in the rock, below the falls.- The secret at first was known only to two or three, or at most half a dozen; and they wrought like beavers to make their ” pile ” before the whole country should come flock- ing to the diggings, and the Govern- ment interfere with their free mining. But “ murder will out,” and rumours of gold seem carried by the very air; and it was not many days till another prOSpecting party discovered them from the brink of the precipice. hard at work in the chasm. Seeing they were discovered, they laid down their picks. and held a parley. The new comers were anxious to be assured that it was the “real stufl,” being a little doubtful on that point. “ Well," said the old man, wiping the sweat from his brow, and sitting down on a very respectable pile of the purest and most glittering “rocks ” he had been able to find. “ Well, if it’s gold, I’ve got enough! and if it isn’t gold, I’ve got enough ! One adventurous} wagon-maker, from the County of{ York. happening to be in the regionw made a rush with the rest to the diggings, and soon departed home- , ward, several days’ journey through woods and bush roads. with a back- breaking load in a bag. All the way home he was revolving what use to make of his wealth. He decided on selling his shop, buying and stocking a good farm, and living in comfort the rest of his days. He got home, and before he slept kindled up his forge fire to melt down alittle of the precious stufi. The catastrophe was entirely unanticipated. The sulphurious fumes and horrible stench of the vile stufi choked him. and wellnigh drove him out of the premises. The harder he blew. the more horrible became the stifling fumes, till in despair he pitched the whole lot into the street! He had carried home a back-load of worthless [iron pyritesl may be muscnler or rheumatic.
