A rather amusing incident (says a Wellington paper) occurred the other evening in Masterlon. It appears that an unfortunate debtor there had “ the man in possession ” as an unwelcome guest at his house for a night or two, and getting tired of him, suggested, during a quiet game of cards, that a beer would do (hem no harm, and induced the bailin' to go and fetch the liquor. Meanwhile the debtor fastened the doors and windows and prepared for a seige, but was heartily disgusted to lind the limb of the law make entrance again by descending the chimney. Previously to doing this Mr .Bailiff, with careful regard for his habiliments and the majesty of the law, had impressed a small boy to get down the chimney and open the door, but the adventurous jmuth went down the wrong one, much to the astonishment of an adjoining tenement. We give this story as told us by a traveller, who vouches for its accuracy. It AIN STACKS AN It THRESHING MACHINES INSURED at the LOWEST CURRENT RATES by the NORWICH UNION INSURANCE COMPANY.
