said that he had been knocked down and lost all his
money. He did not care for the money however,
but did not Ike such ID rap as he got on the

sve of any thing serious and after having bathed the
wound in whisky he seemed TO be comfortable spoke

about two o'clock, but before morning got up and
came out Of his rooul making Q strange noise aud
after falling sepseless on the floor. He fingered
in an iLsensible state till about noon on Monday "nen

The story which he told the bsr-keeper on his re-
turn was that he had gone over the canal and stopped

friendly, and learning that he was stranger one vi
them proposed to chow him the city. They accord

man left BIN and be went alone in the same 1irec

two others On reaching him one Of them raised
club and stuck him blow on the head which
knocked him down; and he was senseless for some
time during which they took biz valet end eiC. he
did lot know how long he remained on the ground
On coming to himself he got no and tired TO find his
way back again 70 the pubic house which be finally
