We now call attention to another station
on that road, which, from its very pleasant
location, and the large amount OF rich land
surrounding it, as we'll as from the high
toned morals OF it's citizens, gives promise
of boiug the leading village dmong the nu.

The village platof Tontogauy was laid
o out by L: D. PEoK and w. V.WAy, Esqs., of
Perrysburg. Iii 1859 the first store was start
ed on the site by S, w. WuIrNoRE in con-
junction with Mr.. MoRsHoUsE, of Watervilc
II is due to Mr.. WnrrMoRs to say, that the
sagacity which prompted his settlement in
the place, has been amply justified, in the
success which has attended his mercantile
Operations. From small beginnings, his
business has now attained proportions
which would be highly creditable to older
and more populous places. In addition to
his mercantile business which is Of leads
ing olSracter, he also owns large aud
commodious Elevator for the storage Of
grain, Of which he has purchased and ship
ped about 10000 bushels during tho past
year. Tho firm also own q thoroughly
equipped Steam Saw Mil, in which they
have cut during the past year about 100000
feet of lumber, in the production of which,
there is employment given, ION the averago)
to twelve men. In connection with the
mill thore is also kept for sale, tath shin
giles, sash, doors, &C., thus meeting all the
necessities of those engaged in building.

prehensive establishment, rejecting the
highest credit on the place, and also on the
TACT and enterprise Of the prohriators.i
We have referred more particularly to
Mr.. WHrraoRE, because it is by just such
enterprise as he has exhibited, by which,
prosperity settles on any community.

have also branch establishment in the
place for the sale of general merchandise,
and are doitig a heavy andlprosperous bust
ness there. In addition to which they also
own capacious elevator, andoae, largeg
engaged in tho purchase aud. shipment Of
grain.
