PAISLEY VILLAGE .

Some twelve years ago the now beautiful and picturesque village of Paisley was first surveyed by the Government; it has since progressed rapidly, and at the present time boast of a population of from seven to eight hundred. It contains nine stores, four hotels, as many blacksmiths' shops, three waggonmakers' shops, a cabinet shop, a foundry, two tanneries, and many handsome buildings; particularly noticeable among these are the stores of Messrs. McKehnie, Porteous and Orchard; Johnson's Anglo-American Hotel, and the private residences of Messrs. Brighty, Bristow, Beard, Bruce, Dick, and Hanna, all built of brick. Large brick school house is now in course of erection. There are three churches completed, one of which, the Episcopal, is built of brick. The professions are well represented; there are five clergymen, two doctors, two surveyors, and two lawyers. Messrs. Murdock and Orchard have lately erected a large carding and woolen mill, which must prove of no small advantage to the village. Two carding mills are in constant operation, and it is the intention of the proprietors to place power looms in them at an early date. It only requires enterprise and capital to make Paisley one of the best manufacturing towns in the west, its water power being almost unexcelled. Distance 15 miles from Walkerton, and about the same distance from Southampton .
