RaySome time since, man protesting

came here, and through the influence of
his honest countenance and pleasant words
secured the good will of several OF our
merchants and business men, who assisted
hin to fit up, furnish and provision the
National Hotel, which he proceeded to
keep in good shape, and to the satisfac-
ton of the public. A few days ago sus-
picion arose that he was not altogether
right, and during his temporary absence,
attachments issued against his effects, and
the house closed. On his return he pro-
posed to make an assignment to his cfedi-
tors, but few were unwilling to join in
the matter, and his overtures were not ac-
cepted. In the meantime the plot thick
ened, and he found it desirable to leave
with his reputed wife, in the night time,
paying one hundred dollars for team and
driver for three days. 1t now transpires
