She is in good hands, and will be well taken care of. We had a pleasant hour together, our conversation being conducted in the Spanish language, which was a pleasure to her as well as to myself.

There are others that are to follow. It is well known in this vicinity that I was a former resident of your Territory, and 1 am approached almost every day by parties anxious to know about the conditions in that part of our great country, and you may be assured that 1 answer all their questions to the best of my ability.”FORAFirst St Cathlt;
