A Goderich township correspondent writing to the Clinton New Era, says: —''It is said that a number of people are having a good laugh at the ex- pense of Mr. J T. Westeott, of Exeter. It being rumored that Regan, the es- caped lunatic had been seen in Gode- rich township, Westcott came up to re- connoitre, and if possible to effect his capture: He went into the township, and over near Bayfield saw smoke is suing from a camp fire. Without further investigation, it is said, he con- cluded -that this was the hiding -place of Regan, and as it was evening his capture was postponed until daylight. Next morning he had invoked the as- sistance* of sixteen others, and armed with all sorts of weapons they stealthi- ly approached the spot. Sure euough there was somebody at the camp, and every heart beat with suppressed emo- tion as they prepared to capture the desperate lunatic. The "camper" look- ed up as he heard his would-be captors approaching, and with the remark "What the devil do you fellows want?" they nearly tumbled over each other when they saw it was the well-known and harmless character Dan McGinnis."
