BusiNEsa.—It is pleasing to note that since the opening of an agency by the Canadian Paoifio railway in this town the company has been doing a most gratify. 'ng business. About a year ago the agency was established with C. E. Williams as manager. For several months the busi- ness transacted was but limited, only from $25 to $30 per mouth being realized from the sato cf tickets. Mr. Williams hasbeen unceasing and untiring in his efforts in the coml any's behalf, with the result of great- ly increased business, Through his in- strumentality a stage was placed on the road between town and the siding, to meet every train, and a goodly portion of, the passenger traffic has been diverted in that ALdirection. The accommodation on the C. direction. R. it. is first-class and travelers appear to prefer it to the other roads leading into tbwu. The increase in ticket sales is the best indication of the growing business. As we have already said, a year ago the sales ran from $25 to $30 per month. In August of this year the sales amounted to $300; in September to $1325; and last month it hugged close to 11400. The Dominion Express Co., which operates on the line of the C. P. R., also opened an office here about a month ago, with Mr. Williams as agent, and it is alreadj doing a most satis- factory and paying business. Should the railway bo extended into towu there is little doubt but that it would do the great- er portion of our carrying trade; Personal. tom? judge Toms -f Goderich, was . on Wednesday, H.
