founded by Mcssrs. Thompson, Bonar & Co.,
IN which important position he displayed the
highest administrative qualities and was uni
versay popular among the ColouistS and cti-

1t appears that 10 the Argentine territories
there are numerous bands Of predatory Indians
and one OF these had stolen nun Der of horses
belonging to the Colony, when Mr. p0wyS
started 10 command OF party 10 pursuit.
While on this expedition Mr. Powys and his
