About thrée years ago W. G. Kend rick, treasurer of a Lyndhurst cheese factory, 'was made the victim of finan- cial loss by trusting too easily the story of a young' man named Forest, who has been adopted and raised by Mr. and Mra. Niblock who reside near Lyndhurst and who sent milk to the factory, where Mr. Kendrick was treasurer. Twice the young man drew the monthly amounts of money due to Mr. Niblock. On the first occasion the money reached the proper owner without trouble, : but on the second occasion Forest disappeared immedi ately after receiving the money and Mr, Mendrick was threatened with suit by Mr. Niblock, if the money due him and taken by Forest was not paid within & specified time, Inasmuch as no written order had been present- ed by Forest for the money, some $30 or more, Mr. Kendrick had no al- ternative but to pay it a second time which he did. Subsequently it was learned that Forest was in the United States and Mr. Kendrick thought that there could be ne chance of ever get- ting the amount repaid to him. On Tuesday evening last Mr. and . Niblock called at the residence of . Kendrick and stated to him that Forest had sent to them the amount wrongly taken by him and had re quested them to make restitution of the money to Mr. Kendrick. When the money was paid to him, Mr. Kend rick was: of course, delighted at re ceiving what he had for vears consid- ered to be lost monev and still more pleased at the voluntary restitution made by the hoy who probably did not at the time he took the money realize the magnitude of his offence.

Vancouver, 'B.C;, Nov. 12.--Details of the death of Lieut. Pearce, in Nor: thern waters, brought by the return Flora--to Esqui malt, reveal qualities in his compani- on, Midshipman McGuire, which show worthily he upheld traditions of ser- vice.

Pearce and Midshipman McGuire took their leave one day at four p.m., intending to hunt up the inlet and return by ¥ p.m. During their absence .a wind storm arose. After an exciting chase the two men attempted to return to the ship. Miscalculating the treacher ous currents, they were carried on to a low reef in mid-channel, where the fragile boat was dashed to picces. They clambered up on the rock, but from it there was no way of Pearce was physically much less bust than his companion, and chilled to the winds and the breaking surf.

Foreigners Return to Europe by New York, Novi 12.<4Thousands up: on thousands of immigrants who ar- rived at this port in the early months of this year are now crowding the east-bound steamships, in their efforts to return to their native lands. Never beiove have so large a number sought return passage. Steamships, particularly those sail ing to the Mediterranean, are carry ing out their fullest complement and leaving hundreds behind to be trans ferred to and forwarded by rival lines. There is no cessation in the movement and yesterday a representative of one of the largest lines said his ships were booked full to the first of the year. Business retrenchment, industrial strikes and the fact that many again wish to see their native lands are the reasons advanced by the agents of the liies for the exodus. The feeling pre valent that large works of a semi public nature will be abandoned and ofdinary labor will not be reguired is believed in the largest measure to be responsible. With the exception of the annual flow of foreigners that go to their for mer home because of the holidays, there is little skilled labor in the ranks of the multitudes that are daily de parting. The nationalities represented are Italian, Polish, Slav and Hungar ian, the first named largely in the ma jority. It was from [Italy ink the immense increase of immigration came in the spring months. Besides the insecurity of the situa tion of the laborer there is a cheap rate of fare which lures him home ward to spend (his savings, however small, fo better advantage in his own country, where simple living is cheap er.
