  • Notes 
    • Much sorrow was felt on Monday last, on it being learned that Henry Wurm, who resides on the Goshen line a short distance south of Zurich, had passed away. Last week we made reference to an accident which had befallen Mr Wurm by the running away of his horses, but it was not thought then that he was seriously injured, and it was hoped by all that he would soon be around again. all right. However, it was not to be so. He must have been internally injured in some way, as he never seemed to rally and gradually grew worse until he finally passed from this life.
