As. Mr. GOODMAN and his good wife were
for many years residents of this place and

and endorse the following complimentary no
tice from the Waveriy Jievieto :
The family of R. F. Goodman of Sayre,
leave to-day for Buffalo, their future home.
Their many friends, though rejoicing at their
success, will exceedingly regret the necessity
that calls them away. Mr. Goodman's for
tune has been so long cast in this vicinity
that he seems to have grown up with all the
young thriving busmes institutions that now
furnish the vigorous life-blood to our beauti
ful valley, Starting in life as a district school
teacher at the early age of 18 years, and after
ward working as clerk in" the old North
Branch canal office under the late Colonel o
F. Welles, he has bv close application and un
tiring energy arrived at his present responsi
ble position—general manager of the Lehigh
Navigation compan". He lias literally grown
up with this section of the Lehigh Valiey
railroad, having been employed in some offi
cial capacity by them ever* since thev tirst
broke ground through Northern Pennsylva
nia, and always steadily advancing to posi
tions of higher trust and greater responsibil
ty. What Sayre loses Buffalo has gained —an
upright, energetic businessman, a cultured
genial gentleman, and a public spirited citi
zen.
