A Came that did not Work.

The village boarding house on Huron
street was opeDed for the accommodation
of dodgers and boarders i'm the early part
of the week, under the immediate super
vision of Marshal Horne, and already he
has been called upon to cater for quite
number of inmates. One of the dodgers
i'm the institution possessed a friend in
an elongated specimen of the human
race, by profession painter, who
thought that perhaps the bill of fare
provided by Mr.. Horne was not just such
a one as his dear friend was accustomed
to, such as pies. cake, canned fruit, &C.,
and consequently, having a passionate
feeling for his friend, and doubtless
Knowing show he would feel himself" in
like circumstances, he interviewed the
Marshal and asked the privilege OF pro-
viding his friend with some little luxuries
not included i'm the cuisine of the insti-
tuition. MIR. Horne hesitated at first TO
show any partiallty i'm favor of any one
of those under his care, but at last was
prevailed upon to grant permission that
some canned peaches might be furnished
by the interested friend, and directed that
they be brought to his residence. In good
time the friend appeared and left some
canned fruit. the cans being already
opened, and givingas his excuse for doing
so that the boarders were deprived of
everything by which the cans could be
opened, which seemed very plausible,
but our Marshal having an Investigating
disposition, thought he would look into
the cans and see just what they contain
ed. An examination showed that the
juice which had originally been around
the fruit had been poured out. and i'm its
place the cans had been filled with dis
titled juice of corn. of course this was
done to preserve the fruit from spelling
by coming i'm contact with the open air
and not with desire to furnish the
friend with.any such consolation, how
cNcT, MT. IOThC Nditcu IL uis1ihCtiy III
derstOOd that he kepta temperance hou e
and so as to avoid any possibility of any
other impression gaining credence he
thought it would be as well not to take
the fruit i'm that condition, and concluded
that canned fruit could just rs well be dis.
penscd with as not, and hereafter it il
presumed that. such luNuries will not b.
included in the bill of fare even it fur
nished by KIM friends.

3 The schooner Thos. C. Street, which
loaded here a few weeks ago with deals
for Europe, has arrived at her destina-
ton. She.was twenty-one days out from
Quebec. This trip is rather more than
an average one in length of time, very
few making the trip as soon. 1t will
soon become demonstrated that all kinds
of merchandise can be imported from, and
exported direct from lake ports 20 Europe

one OF the signers of the Declaration of H.

and that he will go through with the form
of signing shat which made this country
free one hundred years ago.-Ronse (N.
