good and honest man, one who had no gall that
interfered with the workings Of his pure soul, a

bereayed family for the loss of the parent and
friend whom all loved and regret.

The ROYAL Hotel.

Now that our citizens are about to shake the
dust Of this quiet burg from their feet, no great
or attraction can be offered than that rendered
by mine hosts Hood & Brother, the genial pro-
prietors Of the Royal Hotel at Ontario, Canada.
The commodious apartments, the unequalled
service and salubrious climate make Ontario the
place for SUNNI er's sojourn.
Hamilton, the town where the hotel is situated
is one of the most beautifully located places in
the provinces, and for invalids is unequaled In
a few miles from the hotel Burlington bay opens
its broad waters to the fsherman's quest, and its
cool breezes to the Invalid. Drives boating. and
yachting serve to add pleasure to the season, and
give the guest that recreation go much sought
for.

another quarter. The Collector of The Port saws
