near Belleisle, he was suddenly
pounced upon by three men,
who knocked him down and beat him till he was nearly
insensible, and took away the bag with its contents. A re-
ward is offered for their apprehension.

shire, and will receive the support of the free-trade Con-
servatives as well as of the Liberal party.—Bath Journal.
