'Wing has been a frequent visitor of the house, speed-
log most of his mare time there, sad latterly it is

coolness existed between them. On Wedzereday night,
at about eight o'elock, Wigg visited the Hero of
Waterloo, sad ter some time remained drinking in the
bar, converslog with the people there in hie usual
manner. A few minutes before midnight the employie
