 There are times when you are some , where, and then again there are times when you are somewhere else. A gooC illustration of this fact was given by on' of our most prominent families a few nights since. It appears that they have small boy relative stopping with them
 who, after the curtains of night descend and he Is left alone in darkness, is quit, timid, so much SO that he often calls ou
 In the night, and one of the couple hav' to go to him. The lady has usually beer , the one to go to his assistance, but on thu night in question there came up a harC thunder shower, and when the boy called ' Mir. said he would go. The boy' , room is right across the hall from thei , chamber, and without stopping to light , lamp he went, as he supposed, into tn boys room. Drawing down the cur
 tains to exclude the light, and feelinl [ around for the bed, he raised his foot an,
 stepped into the bath-tub. Finding tha
 he was in the wrong room he made anoth
 CT start, and this time brought up in room formerly occupied by another bo, relative. Now he came to a realizln sense that he was lost in his own house and began calling to the boy in order t locate him. His wife, hearing the noise
 went to the assistance of her husband 3 and against his earnest protests that sh Z was leading him direct to the stairway 1 she finally succeeded in landing him in hi ) own chamber. But even here, 1t took he some little time to convince him whicl was the bed and which was the lounge.

 here until his removal to Rochdal 3 in 1878. MT. Hunt was taken seriousl Ill week ago last Thursday evening, an t 1t was decided to send him to the Wor Il hnonIfol ho rnawk v,,o~oln. ~x,o
