From all parts of the County—by wide-awake
and lively Correspondents
Goderich Township
Imenovma.-The friends of Mr John
Churchill, of this township, who re-
cently sustained a bad break of his
arm, will be glad to know that he is
recovering. At one time it was feared
that it would be necessary to amputate
the arm in order to save his life, but
this was not done, and he is improving
as well as could be expected. He has
had a pretty hard time of it, but has
bravely borne his sufferings.
Kinburn.
NEW STORE. The vacant lot on
which stood a store lately, kept by Mr
Stewart, has been purchased by R. Clark
and P. C. Papineau, who intend
erecting a building on the same and
startilig a general store. They are both
well known, and no doubt will do a
good business, as they are pushers.
SALE. - Mr J. Sutherland intends
selling off his farm stock and moving
to the North West, where he will con-
tinue farming, having purchased a half
section with improvements on. Mr
McMichael, who lives on the adjoining
farm,has rented that of Mr Sutherland,
for a term of years.

new office, and now has things very

LEAVING. -To -day Mr and Mrs Jas.
Braithwaite leave this township for
Welland, where they purpose taking
up their residence with their son-in-law
Mr A. Lawrence. Mr Braithwaite is one
of the oldest residents of the township,
and has honorably filled a number of
public offices, the duties of which it is
but just to say, were always faithfully
and well discharged. He was a mem-
ber of the Methodist church at Londes-
boro fully 40 years, for 20 of which he
was Superintendent of the Sabbath
School and Recording Steward of the
ehureh, holding --the latter-offibs-u-016-
the time of his removal. He was 23
years Clerk and Treasurer of the town-
ship and for the same length of time a
commissioner and justice of the peace.
llie,seh,Marshallhas..rented the •home*
stead; the good wishes of many friends
go with Mr and Mrs Braithwaite, and
we trust their declining years may be
spent in continued place and comfort.

ducted in the Methodist church. Mrs

produce something a little extra.
NOTES. - Mr Bond Lawrason was
over at Porter's Hill for Saturday and
Sunday; Bond is not like some of the

interest in the work there. Rev Mr
Leech is confined to the house, and is
unable to take his pulpit work; he has
been a little unfortunate since he came
on the circuit, having considerable ill-
ness in his family, but we hope to see
him and his soon enjoying their wonted
health and strength. Mi and Mrs R.

be a home, if its inhabitants are abroad
nearly every night in the week. Word&
it not be well if the churches and dif-
