seventy years ago, Scotch Major in the
British army was stationed at Montreal, in
Lower Canada: lie had, from his quarrel
some disposition, fought several duels and
in every instance killed his man. Indeed,
from the bullying disposition, he acquired
such character, that it was deemed the
height Of folly for any one TO contradict his
word.
Yankee pedlars abounded in those days
as much as they do now; aad it so happen
ed that one of them had located himself in
