The Onta-io government offer a
reward of $250 for the arr st of
Charles Smith alias J. Cohyn, silver
wasll peddler,. who escaped from a
constable aot Lakelet, c unty Huron,'
on July 26, when he was is.custody
charged with rape. -The facts of the
case are as fallows:—The peddler
was at Clifford, a few- days' before .
tne date above mentioned,"and fill,,
lowed a little girl about a mile out
of the village, where it is charged
that he.outraged her, afid then threw
her over a fence and ho left her, fie
was arrested arid committed for trial,
but subsequently escaped froiu°thje s
constsble whe had him in in charge,,
after having been committed for trial.
The constable has been, committed
for trail for allowing his-prisoner to
escape.
A sensation has been created in
St. Catherines by a report that a
supposed niu«*der-has been-comiriit-
teu at a place called Effingham, .
about seven miles from tln-re. Late
last., fa 11 a man named Alexander
Easterly and hitf wife mysteriously
'disappeared. 'At first no attention
was paid to (he matter, but- laier on
the friends of the missing parties -
having suspicions that' all was ij.ql,
right lieg'Jln to search for them. A-,
brother of the' tiiissin'g ufan.. named
’0o«m73recently, made~'some start
ling; revelations. He states that
Easterly was continually quarreling
with his wife-, and, tin-dly kilied/her
and buried the body in a garden ad
joining the house which was- och
< upie’d by . them. . Another brother
named John appears to have been an
accomplice, snd is now in euslpdv.
The brother Howard was engage/] l.y
John to assiHt him iti removing the
body of the unforturfare • woman,
and io d ling this the brothers quar.
'reled, and in the affrai Howard was
nearly killed. The brother John
states that. A faxatider killed Ji'feTw-rfe
. and'afterwards arranged to. commit
^juiejde,.'asking John if lie did not
kill Himself outright for. him to
finish’ the job, and that ’Alexandty.
shot himself but did not kill himself,.
iMid that he (John) cut Alexander’s
throat with a razor and Inn led the
body in Miller’swoods. Upon ar
riving >it the spot poi/ited'out by
Howard and digging, the body of
the woman was found buried about
tfir'-e feet from tlfa surface. The
belief generally is that the part- of
the story relating to the death.of
Alexander is untrue, search-having
linen matle in the woods'for hift Hody
wit’hout success. Aii inquest is to
be litfl'I. .Alexanders, body bus since
fa;en found. ’ 1
On June 24th last the tlwelliug
house <>f T. ,W. Moore,' Corinth,
. nierchant,. Was burned, and. was tire
work of an inceritTiary" On August
'll th . the place of his .brother,
Charles Moore, Boyhaur townsjiip,
Elgin County, was also filed,’ a
bundle of paper having been satur
ated with coal oil. Fortunately the
fl.inTPSWiireili.u-ov'ereilnhUpiitrb'ift?
Suspicion fell upon om; Butler, who
resided- in ; Brantford. Tlieie had
b'e» a lawsuit, between the Moores
and' Butler about some property in
Brantford/and .the former had came
..put victors,. Bu'lerJieiiig turned off
the property if> disgiite. Cfiief Few
ings, of St-Thomas, arrested Butle>,
ami' Provincial Detective Rogers
was given-charge of -the ca-jiA.- He
found tli^N-t on August 11 ’h Butler
had hired, a horse and rig in B aiit-
ford for the- ostensible purpose of
driving to • Beaehville to collect
money owing to hi til. He was gone
two days,/returning on the night of
August 12th.. Qn the evening of
August _llt.li -Butler turned .up -at
Delhi, a place about thirty-eight
tildes from .Beaehville, and the same
and the same distance from- Brant
ford, and about twenty miles, from
Moore’B place. / There he fed his.
horse and had tea, and then lefu in'
the direction of where the flreoci/ur-
red, after telling the landlord that
• he had come from Paris and had
business that would
all night. He returned about six
o’clock in the -morning, having the
appealance of a man who had tramp
ed about during the- mghjt. The
morning after the tire/occurredxtlh
tracks of a horse, were diseoveied
where the ihceudiaiy had evidrii'ly
driven U|»_tp the gate.where lie had
left his horse whjle performing his
criminal act..’^By peculiarities in
thesri”tracks it. vyas shown that’, they
were the footprints of the horse
driven by Butler. Tt was- hIso
shown, that Butler had not been at
‘Beaehville on the djty mentioned.
Butler was commuted to stand
trial at the coming assizes. ,

TIRED OF Til IS WORLD.
h young boy, was out hunting when
Im met a Jmrrible death. Young
Blackmore had the ehot-gun, and in
taking it from hiui Jones pulled the
gun towards liimself by the muzzle,
Aft he did so, the hammer caught in
Bfackmore’s clothing and the gun
whs diHehargrd', ita contents striking
Junes in the bowels, (earing him in
a Imart-audceniiig . manner to look
upon. The horrihl# wound caused
his death about five hours after
the accident.
__Rivy.Mr^Sldmffner, of Dickinson
Dakota, a^Baptmt" miiifatfer Was
charged with assnuIt with a deadly
weapon. The prosecuting witness
was Henry R. Simons, a nej’vous,
defm med, timid man, whose patch
of garden stuff was unusually • at
tractive to the defendant’s cow.
On the day”in question the defend-,
ant's cow trespassed upon Simpu’s
garden. Simons tethered the animal
on a part of his laud where it would
not do any injury, intending to Hold
it-as an estray. Schaffner went
after it with a'liatcliet, with, which
he cut the iope, and then on Simons
interfering Im went for Simmons .
Witnesses say the minister struck
Simons on the head felling him to
to the ground, but .a physician who
examined Simons afterwards said
he could .find no bruise or wound.
The defendant admitted striking the
man with, his fist,'"‘but denied that
he used the hatchet except for the
‘'purpose of cutting the.r.ope-with-
which the cow was fastened. . The
jury found Schaffner guilty of flm.
offence, and he was sentenced,to the
penitentiary “for -six months. ’ A
touching episode of this case is the
application nude by the 10-year old
boy of Schaffner to the judge to send
him to the penitentiary, instead of
bis father. •»
The Grotesque In Suicide.
Most of the causes for suicida
may be grouped under general heads,
but the variety of circumstances
and surroundings which have been
regarded as sufficient provocation
foi forsaking- this “vale-of tears” is
really astonishing. A Chicago girl,
who had bi,en scolded by her mother,
took Paris green. A Missouri
clerk, who, stole a few goods from
liis employer, shot himself on a rail
road platform. A WesT""Virginia
saddler, having dreamed 'that his
sweetheart had given birth to a
negro baby, stabbed himself, twen-
ly-five. times with a-penknife and
cut his throat. A Pittsburgh, Pa.
miser- bung himself because some
houses that he owned were not
rented. A St. Louis German quar
reled with his,.wife because a bed
was not made up and shot himself.
A Missouri mail mistook a mule for
a fruit thief and shot the animal*
Next morning he felt ashamed of
nimself and blew the top of |iis head
off. A New York girl took a tea
spoon of rat poison because her par- •
ents refused.to permit h--r to visit a
skatihg rink, A California garden-/
er preferred death to blackened
eyes, which he received in a qpars
rel. An. Ohio saloon . keeper was
unable to pay the-“Scott tax” for
liquor selling, and bung "himself.
An Illinois German left a note be
hind him stating that he and an ac*
quaintance had had a falling oilt
over a trivial* matter, which, coupl
ed with laxity of business, induced
him to become an “American due-
list.” He said that an American
duelist is one who drhws lots, and
if he obtains, the unfavorable fat
three times in-, succession,' he. then
commits suicide." The deceaayd ad-
ded that, he procured five white
marbles-aind one black one, and that,-
after piaciug" them in a hat,” he drew
the black marble therefrom three
tinies^which ,pj^cedure,8ati8fied. hinv

drank poison. A Baltimore man
commict'ed suieide on the first an-.
_.niv.er'saEy ...of his....niarriage,.bis..wife,
having died meantime. An Illinois
boy who had been ex pel ieij from
college took poison in R sleeping car.

to eaten the farmer on ita horns, but
hia desperate situation bad nerved
him to greater activity, and the bqaat
failed in ail its efforts. Post contin
ued his assaults with the pitchfork,
as he jumped from side tq Bide to
ayoid the charges _0£ the .bull until
both aides of the anitnal were dripp
ing blood from neck to’ flanks. The
bull continued the contest for a ferir
minutes, and then turned and ran to
the other sideof the barnyard bellow-
jng.with pain.
Post did not move away for some
time, and then went, to his house.
He Was covered with blood, almost
naked and dripping with per? pi ra
tion. He' washed himself, rested a
moment and then, against the ear
nest protest of his wife, went back to
the barnyard. He found the bull
standing in one corner of the yard.
Post walked briskly up to the anima],
and it cowed at his approach, and
stood trembling in- fear. The beast
was completely mastered, and walked
sul'enly into the barn at Post's com

Abrarm, Post, of Eldorville, town
ship, Pennsylvania, qwns a-blooded
bull, which has long been air object
of terror to all employed op the farm,
owing to..it8_fierc,9„an(Laggr.e3sixa;.dis»<c-
position. The bull has‘always been,
under the control of its owner, who
declared that so; long as any one
stood tip boldly against the animal
no fear of its attacking liim need be
•entertained. He urged this upon
his hired’‘help, but he never Could
employ any man. who would not put
liimself in a safe, place as soon as the
bull assumed a belligerent attitude/
and Post’s wife frequently appealed
to him to have the animal killed,
believing that sdoner or later it
would rebel against the authority of
her husband and attack -himThe
beast was'- too. valuable; ah animal* to
be sacrificed; and Posfridiculihg the
idea that the beast could master him,
refused to part with it, ’.
• One evening! ^;.Fost"h'ad"'Lfinished
milking a cow in the barnyard, and
was returning to .the housje when lie
noticed that the bull, which was in
the yard, shook its head savagely as
he p issed by it, and had an unusual.
vicious look-in its eyes. Post passed
on, paying ho attention to the ani
mal. :-He-had gone only a short dis
tance when he., heard a quick -step
behind him and a lW~teHpWilig
which lw knew was made by the
bull. He turned quickly and saw
the bull tearing down, upon- him.
He grasped the bull ,with o'he hand,
by the horns, hoping to prevent it
froin goring: him, and the next in .
atant„ he was tossed in the air. .He
fell on the bull's head and neck ana
■wan tossed the second time, this
time being thrown to the opposite
side of the bartivard-ferice^-t-Hfa-was-
badly bruised and his clothing was
torn by-the rough handling lie. bad
received, but believing that if he al
lowed the bull to remain master of
the fleld its usefulness would be. gone
and its killing a necessity, Post de- •
terxnined to assume - the’ offensive
himself and use every effort to
quer the-savage animal. He is a
large arid muscular manj. and, arrii-
ing himself with a heavy club, he
jumped over the fence and advanced
boldly upon the bull,' which was
pawing the ground and bellowing^
furiously. The. moment, it saw Post'
in the yard it plunged at him with
horns lowered. Post met the bull
with a terrific blow with the club
across the forehead.. The heavy
. wood’.was broken to .pieces, but the
blow had no effect on the animal ex
cept to increase its fury. ‘ The bull
pressed upon the farmer, who jump
ed aside and cauglit it by one horn
and one ear and endeavored toj|koep
its - head turned away. He was
thro*wn'froti) side to side and his hold
-•broken. The bull*baught him on its
horns and once more tossed him in
the air. this time throwing him over
the -fenuri' into an adjoining field.
The maddened animal changed again
st the fence . and endeavored to
knock..down the barrier between.it
and the object of its rage.
Still tfaie* farmer was undfemayed,
and, entering liis barb, he armed
liimself with a heavy three tinod
pitchfork and returned once moro to
the barnyard* - The bull tUshed once
again to the attack. Post stood his
ground and thrust the sharp tines Of
fork into the bull's nose, supposing
that tho acute pain caused by, the
stabbing would force the anitnal to
turn (>ack and mako-it in ore cautious.
In,this he was. mistaken. The. ani
mal rushed on, and was forcing him-
against the fence* whoro he would
havp been crushed to dqath in a
moment. To prevent this Post threw
himsolf forward* and the bull's head
being lowered to tho ground, jumped
astudo tho animal's flock. A few ‘
