There are two literary societies in good running order in this township. One north, the other south. Spelling and ciphering matches form part of the general programme of exercises. We can boast of two stores in this vicinity both in active opeiation. The commerce of the same consists chiefly in the exchange of Tobacco for rabbits. The health of the country is good, with the exception of “colds,” and sore throat. The early cold weather damaged the wheat somewhat, but it is now safely covered with a soft mantle of snow. Stock of all kinds has wintered well so far.
