It was generally believed that he hailed

Tlio bar-room of some one or other ot tho numerous drinking hells wits lii.s home the lloor, a bench, or a faro-table, was his bed.

Altliought a slave to his appetite for Intoxicating liquor, none ot'lts vendors on Norway flat were much tlio richer for having Shakes as their customer. It wus seldom that a coin passed from his hamis to tho barkeeper's drawer but drink in* must have, and somehow •r other ho always managed to obtain it.

The news soon spread that Shakes had been found dead at Diggers' Delight. It was evident that night had overtaken him there, and that he had determined to spend it In one of the deserted Hlianties. The fire-place had been filled by him with wood ready for tho match but it remained unkindled. Whv, no one could answer. The verdict of all who heard the story, was that he had fallen a victim to tho severity of the weather on tho evening of the day he left the Flat,or, as they expressed! t, "Iriz dead."

In an inside pocket of a vest worn underneath his ragged overshirt, a packet of letters was found, all of which were written In the same handwriting, and addressed to "James Wilkinson, Esq., NorwHV Flat." Sundry photographs were also discovered in the same pocket —one of an aged lady, another ot a woman in the prime ol lite, and the rest of three beautiful girls of from ten to fifteen years of age. All the letters bore the same post-mark, Fiftch envelope was indorsed in pencil "Kee'd. (date), J. W." Oneoftheniwas indorsed, "Kw'd. Nov. 17, 1869, J. W." That
