Actuated by this motive human suffering, I Chee np nh fo Comin the dust of Toronto from his feet. The matter was, if not intentionally | ao suppressed, at least kept as quiet as possible. From inquiries made at the Revenue office it seems that Blair's fellow em- ployes know but little beyond the bare fact that he has not been seen in the office since Friday night last, and that nothing has been heard of him since either directly. or indirectly. The recent suit for alimony in which he was the defendant is still fresh in the minds of the public. His wife, who is suing for $20 a week ali- money, was granted $5 a week interim alimony by the court, and so incensed was Blair by the award that he 'was frequently heard by some of his more intimate acquaintances to say that he would skip before he paid her a d----d cent. No attention was paid to 'his threat, however, as it wing put toward the hdd of his week and is now believed tobe in Buffalo. He was separated from "his wife, and lived at 31 Spruce street, having with him his little girl, and it is presumed that he has taken her with him. He has left behind him a small legacy cf debts which consist for the most part grocers, tailors anc butchers' bills, but as the combined 'amount of them would not have been sufficient to cause him any serious inconvenience his sudden dis- appearance cannot be for want of money. Blaircame to this city from Hamilton about three years ago, and during his brief stay here made a number of friends of the class that are sometimes known as * High-rollers." He was in receipt of a hry of $1,400 a year -|and was in every respect a model book- keeper. Indeed it is doubtful if there was a more expert accountant in the city. His great fault was an appetite for strong drink. This at tines interfered with his duties; ao'that he was brought into unpleasant contact with his supre- rior officers. His fr.ends deplore the course he has 'taken, and the situation was described aptly by one this morn- ing, who smd: + Blair can trot round the country * lfor a long while before he will get arey- | another job at $1,400 a year. Why, he has been in the Inland Revenue Department for twenty or twenty-one years, and ul he only kept straight there's no telling what he might have risen to. nna Blair has a farm out in the country hich in said to: be very valuable.-- i An Inland Revenue Olerk Takes His Departure: HE Undersi; aiaienst re in the #0 announce that lie has removed his business to thi OND BLOCK""--one door eastof Diesfeld's as largely increased his stockof WINES AND LIQUO and has now on hand a fine assortment, in all lines, 'Wholesale and Retail Hotelkecpers supplied at.
