The hotel yards of this town are as large and as well kept as those of any place in the province, but on Saturday they were filled to over- flowing and even the yard at the old Queen’s was packed to repletion. In} other places. on a busy day, farmers are allowed to leave their vehicles on the side of the street, placing them so as to take up the least possible room, while the horses are unhitched and stabled. It might be well to adopt some such plan here, as it is quite plain that there is not room enough in the yards to acmmodate all those who desire it. '.1893 -â€"A seduction case came before P. M.
