RenOVal..Neyy Firm

Our friend j. d. Morgan, who lately occupied
part of the store room of Black & Bennett with
a stock Of dry goods, has taken Mr. Fosseen, q
former salesman in the store of Cheever Morgan,
& Co, into partnership with him, and remored
the stock to the fine large store room in Woods
block, next to the meat market, north side of the
square. The new firm Of Morgan & Fosseen
have not only made large additions to the former
stock OF dry goods, but have added large stock
of Groceries, Crockery, Boots & Shoes, &C., so
that they keep first class store. An advantage
they also boast of is, that while they sell as
cheap as any body dare to, their goods are all
new, fresh, and OF the earliest styles and pat
terms We have the word for it, of several ladies
who are judges, that Morgan & Fosseen have
very nice goods"

VERY STRANGE.-It is funny that man can't
get any thing new without having our nsighbor,
the editor Of the Republican, pitch in to him.
Now, just this week the young and snterprising
firm of Riale Bros. of this city, finding their bus
mess SO large, threw aside their old delivering
wagon and came out with very handsome new
one, and also made several new changes in order
to meet their rapidly increasing trade, so without
further ceremony our brother editsr must give
them hit. Now We protest against this thing,
and say that we have bought goods Of Riale
Bros, and know that there is nobody sells better
goods at lower prices in any city east or west
than they do. We know they sell the finest teas
in the whole country and their reputation in this
line is increasing daily-Bro. Pusey try them.

The New Bridges.

1t looks at present as if the heavy sacrifce the
town was compelled to make by an act of the
last legislature, to get two new bridges across
the main canal in this city, has been made for
nothing. AT best as matters look new, these
bridges will be available only in winter, when
they are least needed.
The act of the legislature ordered the bridges
to be built by tax upon the township, but
when built, TO be turned over to the city author
tiles, by whom the bridges were to be kept in
repair and tended during the season of canal
navigation both being swing bridges.
Judging by the experience of the city in the
case of the swing bridge on Madison street, the
City Council estimate that to hire tenders for
these bridges, and keep them in repair, will cost
from four to six thousand dollars year, an Ok.

They are understood to have taken legal advice
aud come TO the conclusion that they can't be
| compelled to do it. As neither the canal author.
tiles or township will bear the expense, the
bridges are in fair way to be opened on the
arrival of tile first boat to-day, and to be KEEP,
open until the close of navigation.

Reaiguatl0n.

Several weeks ags, Rev. z. GOTHAM, the Pas
tor Of the First Baptist Church Of this city ten
dered-his resignation, which, at his urgent re.
quest on account of failing health, was accepted.
He hopes, by rest and change of air and occu.
patton, to recover his wonted health. The
Church passed the following resolutions, express
sive OF their feeling toward their Pastor:
ResOlued, That we feel it to be duty demand.
ed from us by the Great Head of the Church,
and by the community of which we form part,
and by our own hearts, to testify that Brother
Ceman has labored faithfully a Minister of
the Gospel ameng us for the past eleven years,
and that his administration has been eminently
acceptable and useful; thereby, the Church.
from being small and feeble band, has been
much increased and strengthened, and, from oc-
cupying small, dilapidated room, has secured
its present substantial, roomy edifce, which,
under his devoted labors, has been reared and
paid for; a large congregation has been gathered,
and very many precious souls have been con-
verted and added to the Church. Furthermore,
his worth and influence have been extensively
felt and acknowledged in the community at large,
as benefactor to the poor and suffering of
every description
Resored, That we regard the termination of
his kind and faithful labors in Ottawa as great
loss, much to be regretted by both tho Church
and the community and only to be acquiesced
in by us in consideration of his impaired health
and the hope be entertains of regaining it by the
cessation of his e1haustns duties and the change
which future providences may mark out.
Resolccd That we tender our sympathies to
Brother Colman and his beloved family, in the
circumstances which demand his and their re.
moval from us, and our cordial commendation OF
them to those whom they may hereafter associate
with, and our earnest prayer is, that our beloved
Brother may be restored to wonted health and
strength So to again Jas hitherto) successfully
labor in the Christian ministry.
