to oeive the gentleman; but, as he presumed iison, visit was connected with bIusinessq, ie beggetYoa- to refer hint to Mr. Michael Blake, who would

be at home next day. Mr. Sharp, while await-

p's ished at such rudeness, went back to his mas-thq ter, while the other mounted the stairs, and

" Yon may as well tellwhere the gentleman is at once-it'll savetrouble. He can't escape, as the house is eour-rounded."

The olqnel, meantime, had been arrested ona writ, muarked against his person, at the suitof Mr. Clipper, for onue portlon of his claims,while his ouods and clhattels were seized under Ian e xe c ut ion , i s sue d a g ai n st hi m by the same nperson for another.

There were many of the peasantry and re-tainers about the place when the sub-sheriffarrived; .but the possibility of their master 1being in his power never once entered theirheads. When the fact of his arrest transpired, I"boys" were sent off n every direction to rousethe neighbors, and efect a resdne.
