Hopewell Hill (Albert Co.) Dec. 17 - Gilbert BREWSTER, collector of customs at Harvey, received intelligence by last night's mail of the whereabouts of his brother, James BREWSTER, of whom nothing has been heard for 19 years and who had been given up as dead. Mr. Brewster is now, as his letter states, a resident of Melbourne, Australia, where he held a government position for 14 years, being now retired on superannuation. He has been twice married.
