Sluirt ,Sketoh of the Life of a
Successful Business "IVInsa.
Among the many successful business
men who have built themselves up from
small beginnings, and under the most
adverse circumstances, We know of none
who deserVes more credit than the sub-
ject of thini sketch
evreeeem WREPOED,
who was born in Tiverton, Devonshire
County, England, in 1833, and is now
in. his 46th year. His father carried on
the butchering business, and gave Wil-
liam a fair education, and taught him
the business About the time he beach-
ed his 21st year, quite- a number of his
acquaintances emigrated to America to
seek their fortunes. He also took the
-Western fever, and after considerable
persuasion gainedhis father's consent
to leave borne. Some of his friends
who had preceded -him, had located in
Detroit, so a through ticket Was bought
for this point, and he set sail for New
York, on the ship, Forest King. The
trip lasted seven weeks, anced.uring that
time the small -pox had broken. out on
board, and on her arrival the ship was
quarantined for two weeks. During the,
trip, which had been. much longer than
was anticipated, Mr. Wreford had
squandered his surplus cash, and land-
ed at Castle Garden with a ticket to
Detroit, but not a cent of money nor a -
friend that he knew of in the city. lie
at once looked for work, but was unable •
to- procure any. In his wanderings
around the city he met an old acquaint-
ance, who loaned him $3, and by his ad-
vice he went to Boston, paying $2 50 foe
his fare. ,
On his arrival -at- Boston, he succeed-
ed in obtaining employment with a
wholesale calf butcher named Good-
enough, who was located at Brighton,
one of the suburbs of Boston. The
work was very hard, and the hours of
labor long; the men commencing work
at 3 o'clock in the morning and continue J
ing till 11 o'clock at night. Mr. Wreford
stood it for one month, receiving $14 for
hia labor, which was considered large .
wages at that time.
bar of hands, some of whom have been
several years in their service: They are
kindly treated and well paidsbut aro
expected to do their work thotoughly.
During this season Mr. Wreford has
replaced his old buildings with a mag-
nificent briek block, with stone dress-
ings, and has added improvements to it
until he nOw claims, that he has the
most complete establishmeet for his
business in America. The building .has
a frontage of 42 feet- on Jefferson Av-
enue and. 130 feet on Riopelle street.
In this building are the slaughter
house and cooling -rooms. In the tear
are the sheds and stables, all of
brick, and running through to Lamed
street.
Mr. Wreford has been largely inter-
ested in the shipment of cattle from De-
troit to England, and through him the
first venture was made. Since then he
has had a share in a majority of the
shipments from Detroit.
As a business man Mr. Wreford
terprising and honest. He is alw
willing to lend a helping hand to
those whom he thinks. worthy, and
there are several young men in De-
troit who are doing a successful Inisineas
who owe it &finest entirely to him. .
By his energy and business tact, Mr.
Wreford has secured- a competency, and
from the poor boy who landed hi New
York without a cent, has grown the
active business ,rnan, who can draw his
check for -thousands: and have it hon-
ored. Personally he is one of the most
unassuming of 'ne'
e genial in his man-
ner, and has a host of friends, by most
of whom he is known as "Boss Wre-
ford." May his shadow never grow
less.—MicIdgan Fanner.

and reading in diseof the daily papers
that homes could be ;purchased very
cheaply in Pike county, Pennsylvania,
he again started on loot, and after a
four days' walk reached the town of
Milford, the county :seat of Pike county.
There he fell into the hands of wild

what little cash he had left, for which

But here a difficulty arose—Mr. Wrein

; cave, and he was seldom -seen except by
I hunters, who occasionally passed in
that direction. He daily became more
and more adVeree to seeing people, and
oftentimes; when seeing any one ap-
proach his cave, he- wouid secret him-
self in the bushes until they had passed.
Previous to beginning his secluded
life, Sheldon -was a man of chnsiderable
pride and neatness, but he ;grew care-
less, and a thick, shaggy beard soon
covered his face, and his hair grew long,
reaching below his shoulders. From
the time he began his hermit life up to
the present writing, he has never shaved
himself nor Cut his hair. The contents
of his cave are a few logs of wood,
which serve as chairs, and an old rock
ing-chair, in which he has slept ever

now wears has covered his body more
than tWenty years. Of latd- years he
has had Many hair -breadth escapes
from being burned to death by forest
fires and freezing.
The old hermit is now -seventy-three
years old, and his hair and beard are a
grizzly grey. He is. deaf, and to con-
verse with him it is necessary to use a
slate which he keeps for .this 'purpose.
He is well read, and it is plainly evi-
dent that his early education was not

le, and. cares but little for any other
reading matter. Thus has he lived for
over forty years., but for the past -forty
years he has been in receipt of letters
from relatives who still live in Connec-
ticut (but who, until they saw a short
account of Sheldon's life in one of the
e illustrated papers, were ignorant of his
whereabouts), urging him to give up his
e life of a hermit and to return to the
_ hOme of his • youth, where he will be
cared for during the rest, of his life.
For a long time Sheldon. turned a
deaf ear to all their *entreaties, prefer -
'ring to die as he had lived—a hermit.
But now, as his life is gradually draw-
ing to a close, he has concluded to ac-

This venture lasted three raont

Mr. Tames S. Meads, and on, the 11

until July 2a, when it was dissolved,
and the bus -Mess was continued by Mr.
Wreford. At this time the suimher
trade in the Central markets wasquite
large, but the winter trade amounted to
scarcely nothing. Mr. Wreford tells us
that he stood many it day in his stall
when the receipts did not amount to
over 25 cents. During the winter Mr.
Wreford hired a cheap boy to attend to
the stall, and he himself used to take
his horse and. go out in the country and
purchase sheep and cattle, which he
disposed of to other butchers. This he
continued do until 18(io, when the
trade at the Central market improved
so much that he concluded to devote
his whole time to it. Ile than joined
