II hear on good authority that the Extension Rail-
way to the Harbour, which is just completed, will be
tapered towards the end of next month. L t no hope
the o.imptny will arrange some cheap and oonvenient
excursion,. for " opening day" from various places of
[utmost in the West of England.
A Boniface, well acquainted with many of your
reader., Mr. Editor. wee caught in • nice trap the
other evening. An elderly man,who looked uif be had
}lst been galvanised into a state of perfect rigidity—
so pr.cl.e wau hi. air, ea faultier' was the cut f his
c at, and so ariaturatio his voice and ch meanour—
marched into the bee, and, with the mien tf an
emperor depoeited • Gladstone travelling-hag on a
eat. H. metered • glass of whisky. After porn-log
his "daily," he politely inquired if he could be
accommodated with • bedroom fir the night—be had
arrived on a visit to • gentleman in tbe
I eality, whom be did not wish to disturb until
the morning. Of course, &mikes, who had bad •
.hocking lack of such respetrable customer, lately,
was only ton glad to accommodate his guest, and the
latter appreciated the courtesy and polite attention of
the landlord in a substantial fashion—for he ordered
and conmoted sundry other glue.. of whisky. But,
be it note], these were supplied on " tick " ; our
&riot, cratM customer was the owner of • cool that
sowed for above trifling pecuniary matter. :—" Hs
preferred to settle his account in a lump." The
stroller Partook if the hest supper the house could
afford, and if thare was such a luxury a.' the beet
bed in the b 00.." our friend certainly had ft. Next
m”triing be partook of an exceedingly light breakfast
and departed "on hie viait," carrying the Gladstone,
sod wearing an irresistible 'mile. "Ta !to ! will /on
be 'sally god enough to get my bill ready by the
•eenier. me I shall drop in before tialning home"
' Right ' sir ; thank'.. sir ; It shall be quite ready
sir." And the bill tau ready. The day paaeed ;
twilight prevailed, yea, darkneem envelope', the town,
but the hritient sir toger illumineted net the sable 1
night with his presence. The earth has revolved five
ti,,.. since th. stranaer departed and Iran likely to
rev fire 5,000 times more ere our "aristmrst " renews
the landlord's acquaintance.

It I. • dangerous thing for • fellow to ace et peeler.
Waal. in the otreiete and highways begging coppers,
I e it sometime* happens that the h.g.tar catches •
Tart tr in the shape of • blue 'us Is discuire." This
unfoitun tee blunder on the pa. t of Importunate tram,.
he. nocarre I several time. recently. The desperate
fellow who demanded money of the Rev. W. Bloom.
field. curate of Christ Church. in the Harbonr-r.rad,
on Sunday nicht has by this time (Monday) found his
error, and t 'morrow the Bench will dould'esi reward
him for his tr .üble. The rev. gentleman was return-
ing h me from Divine service when • insy fellow
demanded money of bi u with the pleasant reminder
—"be knew he must have m mey about him, being a
clergyman." The result of this "appeal " and guise'
quest identification appear in another column. It ill
well that such lazy. but desperate characters should
feel the Ming of the law. and if • few more of the
reprobates could le traced we should hear far le•• of
attempted and successful hlghw.y robberies.

Since writing the above anent " Wiliam Motley,
the tramp." the case hie been board and s dispowd
of by the B krough 13-nob. It I. tow. an tin...mount-
able thing that the fellow should have been dl.tnioaed.
as this merles of nuisance prevails to an alasming
extent. Perhaps the Bench were not aware of the
fact that in tbe pr -dee locality whore Motley
his Distant:3u profession on Su Iday night other fellows
of his own particular clique have been guilty of similar
amines several times during the past two month.. It
was only • week or two alum that • designing fellow
need muscular forces in attempting to °von money
from Mr. A. Woodward, of Wanderwell Farm, as be
wee returning home after dark. The sooner these
violaters of personal security can be made to feel that
they cannot ply their nefarious trade with comparative
impunity the better.
