a person ~ this city, who is supposed TO
be in the habit of conducting articles from
the other side of the line, and placing
them in a secure place in Montreal, with
out going through the formaIties OF Gus

asked if he could furnish the applicant
with z chests OF Tea. and Is kegs Of to-
bacco; the samples were produced, and
the prices fixed upon the greatest secre
cy was promised upon the part of the
purchaser, and the articles were to be
delivered at certain hour mutually
appointed. After the departure of the ap.
plicant, certain forebodinss and misgi w.
ings. were telt by the 'tair trader" who
thought that all wa. not right, weighed
the matter seriously, and at length came
to the determination of outwiltng the per-
son who he supposed had design upon
him. He accordingly produced the spe-
| cited number of tobacco kegs, and tea
| chests, filed the former with stoLes and
brick-bats. and the latter with the pro-
| duce OF livery stable hired five Cana
dlan Trains, and set out to the 'appoint-
ed place OF rendezvous" on his arrival
| the first object which met his view was a
pistol presented towards him by custom
house officer. who commanded him to de-
liver up the property instantly, as it vas
slezed in tine name of the King. The

he had been scandaIously deceived, and
