The traveling men say they have some delay collectâ€" ing from the merchants. But it is all very cheerful and pleasant.

Bulger, proprietor of the Matabanick Hotel, is a sounder sleeper than he thought, as was proved on Hallowe‘en. It had been his boast, according to the boarders, that no one could come into the house at night without his knowâ€" ing, but he was surprised on Tuesday morning to find two empty barrels on the landing at the head of the stairs, in close proximity to the door of his bedroom. â€" Just how the trick was perpetrated he is still endeavouring to figure out. He had a shrewd susâ€" picion that one or more of his guests were mixed up in it, but has no way of proving it. The boys say that they are hearing no more about his wakeâ€" fulness at night and have the idea now that they can go and come as they please."‘ HAILEYBURY MAN SLEPT WHILE SPOOKS WALKED. The time to make friends with a boy or a dog or a town or an empire is when it is young. Why not go up, the next chance you get, and lose a golf ball down a shaft or take seven strokes in a diabase bunker, and see what this empire of New Ontario has in store? They say that the gold fields are not yet at a five per cent. developâ€" ment. At the end of one of the streets they have a golf links. The bunkers are probably slagâ€"heaps from abanâ€" doned mines. The traps probably shafts that did not find those strangeâ€" ly twisting, leaping, diving veins and pockets that carry gold.
