A Flesherton mercl.'ant. who has been the victi n of Dime Kutr.or for some time past, had a rather uiipleasant experience last week when a govermr.eal detective appeared in town in response to demands made by eonietody, and proceeded to interview theciliz.-ns as to their op uions about the sid uierchaut'n loyalty. About forty ci'izen^ gacliered in a body and iiifurmed the detect.ve that thty knew of absolutely nothing that had been said or done to place the gentleman charged in the pi sition of enmity to British institutiunj. One and all gave evidence that they h id never hiarda word that would lead them to suspect that he was ;;uilty of disloyalty to the British cause. Nearly all had heard the vagrant rumors but did not know huw tkey originated and had no reuson to believe there was any foundation for them. After going thoroughly into the matter for two days the^decective informed the accused that he had been "gloriously vindicated" and he was exceedingly plcaseJatthe outcouisof his investigation. Both the merchant and Win family were congratulated on the result. Thiiinveeti- gatiun ought to have the effect of quiet- ing the mischief makers and nullifying their efforts to injure a business man. Logs Wanted Soft elm logs w»ated.
