III is reported that Mr., Nlendennlng,
formerly mate on the steamer Lady of
the Lake" is in prison at Montreal, with
prospect of long term, for having kick
ed woman so that she died shortly after
wards.
Last Friday morning while several per-
sons were returning home to Troy from the
Irasburgh dance, they stopped at William
Barriers hotel in such drunken condition
that they were ready to drink or fight. One

Bartlett to drink against his will. Mr..
Bartlett's health was rather feeble and he
absolutely refused to drink, whereupon this
champion of rum struck Bartlett several
blows about the head and face. viii our
authorities allow such disgraceful conduct
to go unpublished?
