"Ho, ho, ho!" they all cried, "come back again and see us." He promised that he would, and set out alone. After travelling for some time, he came to a large lake, and on looking about he saw an enormous otter on an island. He thought to himself "His skin will make me a fine pouch," and, drawing near, he drove an arrow into the otter's side.
A glass vessel, hermetically sealed, and enclosing a number of coins and a copy of The Upper Canada Gazette, together with the recently-issued first number of The Colonial Advocate, was produced for the purpose of being placed within the hollow of the foundation-stone.

"The chief of the Young Otter's band is a great warrior?" "He is," replied the Indian. "Yes," replied Malachi. "The Angry Snake is a great warrior.
