Mr. Bell, after putting his box in safe keeping, started home on foot, no doubt feeling as bad as the verdant young inan on Main Street who on Sunday night got the slip—from the fair damsel he so much desired to BOO to the gar- den gate. However, MO Bell arrived home, but could see nothing of the fleet -footed equine. • After searching for considerable time and in numerous places the animal was ulti- mately found standing shivering in the shed where she had run, as previously stated.

He said that nearly all the great and ilhistriens men were born in the same degree of halide as that of Canada.

After turning around to ascertain the cause of the jump, they were. surprised to see that the gentio steed had cleared a pitch -hole in whieh were a load of wood and a span of horses.
