The landlord was a general favorite with the travelling public. One evening in the spring of the year a pedlar from Hamilton called at the residence of'1`eter Mcuregov. a well-to-do farmer residing about three miles from the wayside inn. As the pedlar was weary and footsore after his long jour- my be asked permission to remain for the night. Mr. McG-regor consented to accom- modate the stranger. who appeared to be a quiet. inoffensive. respectable man. Next morning the pedlar left the farm house for the wayside inn with the intention of dis- playing his goods, which consisted of prints, remnants and small articles ingen- eral. Heinvited Mr. Mcliregoiia daugh- ters to call at the hostelry and inspect what he had tosell. TIM.`-. elm. nnsann Inrlina Annnirnll for th WAS SQSPECTED OF MURDER AT THE TIME-.. I what he had toseu. When the young ladies enquired for the pedlar the next day they were told by the landlord that the former had received a message to return to Hamilton at once, as his services were required in that city. The story was not considered plausible by the Mcregor family. and suspicionsof foul play were freely entertained. These suspicions were further strengthened by an incident that took place later on. Moulton hadastep- daughter who used to give him consider- able annoyance and trouble at times. On . .the Sunday evening following the date of the disappearance of the pedlar Moultou was whipping the girl very severely when she was heard to cry out at the top of her voice, I could send you to the gallows if I liked. The girl s sensational deliverance fell like a bolt from the blue upon the community. and there was a demand for an enquiry of some sort. The local magistrate issued a search warrant and with the authority in their possession the constables made adiligent search of the hotel premises, but no trace of the missing pedlar could be found. The constables. however. succeeded in nding on the shelves of the pantry a number of articles supposed to belong to the pedlar, but which they were unable to identify owing to the disinclination of several persons to testify.

A week ago last Wednesday Royal Moulton passed away at Parry Sound, where he had lived for some time On his death bed he confess- ed to the murder of the pedlar, stating that. he could not. die with such a terrible crime resting upon his mind. lleadmitted he had an accomplice, but refrained from divulg~ ing the name. They killed the pedlnr by striking him on the head with a club and after threw his body into a well. Fear- ing. however, that the r-rime would be de- tected they took the body out of the well and sunk it in the lake. about half a mile from the scene of the tragedy.

Mr. Muloek mentioned the reforms that had already been accom- pliahed in hit department, and said the de- ficit of 8580.000 which confronted him on taking ollice had already more than half disappeared. The propoaitionto re- duce the rate of postage to other parts ,of 3 the empire would not go into effect as soon as was expected but would probablylead to a larger scheme than had been anticipxted. the imperial authorities having proposed an inter-imperial conference which he hoped would result satisfactorily.
