We have no hunt ing grounds of consequence and there fore like to go to Bedding with dog and
 gun. But if they won't let us hunt, we
 won't buy hay, straw or produce of
 them. Now we'll see how they like it.
 It is said that one livery keeper has been
 warned to purchase no more hay in Red . ding, lest he lose his custom" It re-
 mains to be seen, however, how far this , will be carried out. Delury & Co. will move from the Or rin Benedict factory, December l. to the
