CUSHING. No one, who travels the road from Carillon to Grenville will fail to admire the section of country through which he passes. The stately trees by the way-side, good buildings, well-tilled farms, the neat stone church with its pretty manse, are objects that will attract one's attention* But he will soon arrive at a spot which, not only from the beauty of the scenery, but from the elegance of the buildings, though few in number, will enhance his interest and arouse his curiosity. An air o...f profoimd quiet pervades the place, but it is evident, that it was once a locality of business and activity. This is Cushing, a name which belonged to its founder, who, for half a century, was a leading spirit in the County of Argenteuil.
