The construction of the road in the first instance was a somewhat formidable undertaking, and its completion will long remain a proof of the energy and liberality of those parties to whom we are chiefly indebted for this important work. But in order that-the full benefit may be obtained from this road, it must be kept in a proper state of repair , and de- cidedly the most economical method of accomplishing this is to repair it as soon as it is required ; for such roads require ten: times more to keep them up and are never 80 agreeable to travel if only attended to when they become a'most impassable, Our | Centre Road bas not yet come to anything like being impassable, but it is in such a condition as demands immediate attention.

This village is decidedly marching 1 {forward at no laggard pace. Irom being i [a ailet of a very few small buildings it is now a handsome little village occupying a beautiful, healthful situation and an adwmir- able postion as a business centre. Mr. Coulin's handsome brick building would be a credit to any village or town in the Pro- vince--the proprietor uses part of it asa store. The neat church lately red here in connection with the New Connec tio body is flattermg to the literaiity of all concerned-- hile it certainly is highly creditable ot the energy. of tle Kev. Demil, the esteemed pastor of the Churcly, and is another proof of lis devoticn to the all important work-of the ministry, in lus succesful efforts, not only" in feeding his flock, but in Gading suitable folds wherein to gather them, About two years ago we found thie same Rev. gentleman hurrying on the completion of a fine brick Church at Cannington for the New Connection body there. r There are already three excellent stores in Sunderland, all doing a thriving busi- ness ; in each of them choice Dry Goods, Groceries, &c., &¢,, are sold cheap.- Mr. Hurd was the first to open a gene « ral store here ; he was followed by Mr. Porritt, then came Mr. Conlin ; and cer tainly the village has no reason _to feel dissatisfied with the energy and enterprise |' of its merchants. An important addition is about to be made to the business of that village ; two additional stores, which are now hastening towards completion, will be opened within a few days, one by Mc. J. W Parrish as Stove and l'inware establishment, where every department of the Tinsmith Business | will be pushed with energy and. skill ; the | other by Messrs. Allison & Pettitt as a Drug Store. Tlie very excellent hotel accommodation furnished by mine host of the " Centre House," whether at the table, the bar or the stable, is a credit tc the locality, and a source of nota little of the trade of that lively village ; for whoever puts up with Mr. Campbell once will be willing to go some distance in order to get to (hat capi- tal house, where all appear thoroughly to understand their busiuess ; a kind and obliging landlord, first class cooks and-at- tentive ostlers ; thus the comfort of the guests is secured. The excellent Town Hall now in course of erection in that village will be felt to be a great conveniende to a large portion of the township, while it_cannot fail in draw ine large numbers to the village in 'order to attend the serern) meetings which will be held there.
