Next Wednesday Martin Limb will leave Wooster for Burlington, Iowa, where he proposes to permanently locate. He is an excellent fellow and a clever gentleman, and we are therefore sorry to lose him from among us, where he has resided for twenty years. He is one of the very best stone cutters in this section, an expert at that trade, industrious and responsible. We recommend him to all at Burlington.
