We did so, and went to Eketahunaby tho morning's train, mill put up ftttlie Temperance Hotel, whero we are still staying—those who are not paid off, I must say we arotrcatedhorolikeiuen—lcnnspoak for my mates—and we shall return the compliment. Trusting you will insert this in your paper. I am etc,, W.H.A.
