Senator Collamer on the evening of Nov. %.
The feast was at the Memphremagog Ho-

the last time the ''Bar of Caledonia, Or
leans and Essex counties" expect to see the
senator?
A letter received from Geo. B. Bailey of
Chicago, states that he met Mr.. Homer G.
Hubbell OF Sheldon, in the street about the
10Th of November. Mr.. Bailey invited Mr..
Hubbell, (whO is an old friend). to dine
with him, but he refused, saying that he
was going right back to Detroit. Mr.. Bal
ley noticed nothing unusual in his appear
ance, and was not surprised at his anxiety
to reach Detroit. as he knew he had an
aunt there. This will relieve the anxiety
of his friends lest he may have been MUIR
dered but will create fears of his being in
sane.
