On Thursday, Nov. l, the first train OF
cars with passengers, ran over that por.

Railroad which is completed between

much rejoicing in that part of Canada
through which it passes, over the event.
The cars were to have left Hamilton at
10 o'clock A. NJ, and reached the Bridge
at % p. M. There was some. consid.

For the man or boy who will neglect
his duties during his employers absence
we have a mos, thorough contempt. We
view him as little sup,rio to the com.
