Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY December 20 1838 DIED. On Saturday morning, the 15th inst. at the residence of his brother in law, col. DUNHAM, Mr. William GOODRICH, aged 57 years. During his lingering sickness and at the close of life, Mr. GOODRICH gave much consoling evidence of christian patience and resignation,--and his friends therefore have reason to feel that they are not called to mourn "as those who have no hope." + + Wood!! Wood!!! Such of our subscribers as desire to pay their subscriptions in Wood, are requested to deliver it without delay. All others who owe us for papers, Blanks, Job Printing or advertising, "will please step up to the captain's office and s-e-t-t-l-e!" + + HARD-WARE. I will sell off my Hard-Ware at a great deduction, most of which is just received, wishing, to dispose of it entirely, and will give my customers a good opportunity to purchase. James P. SMITH. + + THE CANADA WAR. This ill-advised and worse conducted war is probably at an end for the present, at least we hope so, and appearances, we think, warrant the supposition. The result is just what every sane man who considered the matter for a moment, might suppose. Such of the Patriots as failed in making their escape, were either shot or were doomed to the gallows--many have already become its victims. We do think the two last invasions of Canada, at Prescott and Sandwich, ought to convince every rational person of the perfect fool-hardiness of the attempt to force freedom upon the Canadians. + + WORTHY OF NOTICE. A fellow who was hung lately, confessed under the gallows, that his career of crime commenced by stopping a newspaper without paying for it! How certainly, then, may those expect to streach hemp, who continue to take newspaper with paying for it? -Le Roy Gazette + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
