delegates from Ccn,ralia, Friday morning,
got as far as Iwington. when it was diScoy-
cred that Conductor Brewster was left be-
hind. II was slowly backed TO CcnlTai0
where the missing conductor was found,
1t seems that CcntNla Radical who was
in a state Of bcwildermcnt produced by the
presence Of so much responsibility in his
town, gave the starting signal, jumped the
train and fed 10 the woods. Blame can
hardly be attached To the poor man, The
only wonder is that more of them did not

Mr., Hicks has our sympathy, and is en-
titled to it. The BULLETIN short time
since announced that he had, wIiic work
