Revuoveer CONTRACT. -- The .contradt
for constructing the second sect= Of
the Southern Extension of the Welling-
ton, Grey end Bruce Rahway, was let on
Friday last • The contract was awarded
to Mr. Hendry, the gentleman. who has
the contraet on the mein line of the sanele
road. Mr, Hendry has also several. °their
large railway contracts on hand. There
wore some fifteen tenders, some cof which
were based upon a very low estimatd.
The figures at which the contract has
bsen given, are, of course, not known,
but it is generally considered that they
raust be pretty low. The whole contract
is to be finished by the let of Novemben
1873.
NEV STORE. -Mr. William Armstron
has now nearly completed a very hand-
some and gommodious store to the north
of his hotel, and adjoining Mr. N. h
Livingstoae's. This store has been le
ed by Messrs. John E. Smith, late olE
Blyth, and Mr. Alexander •Strachan, of
Londesboro, who intend opening ou
therein a large stock of general merchan
dim so soon as it is finished. Both these
gentlemen are well and favorably know
en the locality, and being clever busine;
/men will no doubt get their share pf th
brade. of the place, which. will no doub
be very largely increased so seen as ou
railway is completed. -
THE FOUNDRY. -Mr. Wilson of th
Dingle Foundry, is doing a goodbusines

It seems the cutter` couldbe used eith r

shafts and •tongue, and Mr. Tribe, wh n
making the purchase, took it for pent d.
(though it was not mentioned. we tmcleo-
stand) that the tongife as well as the
shafts Were included in the pin -chase, so
when taking the cutter home, took it
also. Mr. Cake and Mr. Wm. Johnson
of the Commercial Hotel, called. at Mr.
Tribe's next day, and informed Mrs.
Tribe (Mr. Tribe being from home) that
unless the tongue was returned. Within
three days, a warrant would. be issue
for his arrest. So next day Mr. Tri e
started for the village with the diepute 1
article, but. was advised by Mr. Robe t
Parker to take it home again, as it w s
part of the cutter, and Iii.':'s by right. A
Mr. Tribe acted on this advice, Messrs

•A Nkw TOwNSHIP HALL FOR MORRIS.
-The Township Couneil of Morris re-
ceive tenders and award the contract to-
morrow for the erection of a new Town-
ship-, Hall. The hall is to be situated ae
nearly as possible in a central position in
the township, and will be a haucLsome,
commodious building. This is a laudable
undertaking, and one which we would
like tosee followed by oth,er Townships.
It is but right that suitable accomeda-
tion should be provided by every 'fovni.-
ship for the holding of Council and other
public meetings. The comfort and pleas-
ure which the ratepayers will enjoy
when they require to attend public meet-
ings by having a suitable place •to 1

COMMERCIAL DRUMMERS. -This north"!
ern section. of the country continues to
be infested with this species of the fancy
feathered tribe. A person can scarcely
turn round without stumbling over two
or three of them at a time.. We meet
them on our high -ways, on our by•ways
on our streets, in our hotels, and in our
stores. There is seldom a day of the
week. that thisoilace is nothvisited by at
least three or four, -representing whole-
sale houses of various branches of mer-
chandise and manufactories. from all
parts of the Dominion. How they all
manageto pay expenses -which .by the
way, are not generally very light, -is a
mystery to many ; but that they do, and
make pro `it as well, is evident, or else
they could' not so persistently continue
their perambulatory habits. , All of them,
however, agree in stating that times are
harder, money scarcer, •and sales more
,difficult to make, than has been the case
for some years. What the cause of this
depression in trade is. it is difficult to
conceive, as crops generally, last year,
were good, and prices are high. The
fact remains, nevettheless.

and was in every way successful. The

When finished, this building will be one
of the most handsome church edifices,
both inside and out, in this section of the
country. It is situated on a• beautiful
eminence on the north side of the river,
and can be seen from almost any part of ,
the village. A better or more command-
ing site could not have been procured.
The basement is haat of blue stone, and
the body of the church of red and white
brick, very neatly and tastefully worked.

building is now welt advanced, the gal.
leries beiug up apd nearly completed. It
is, expectea that it will. be ready for oc-
cupa,ncy about 1st of April. The
total cost of the building. is estimated at

it is finished the cost will over -ran this
