paternity of the come by ehance' offspring.

giving this very amusing and original produo
tion in full next week. If laughing at it don't
kill outright those who road it. it will ensure
them a lease of life for an hundred years.
Writing is not in the line of the 'valiant five,
very badly. They would shine in the scaven-
ger's ()art and would adorn the handle end of a

tea and lecture were held in the Presbyterian
church. After ample justice had been done

Goderich yesterday by the jailor of that town.
His real name is Fullington, and he is said to
belong to a gang of burglars who have been
committing depredationin Western Ontario
eto., which it ie our privilege to chronicle, but
we think it would not be amiss if something
more exciting would happen in connexion
therewith, snob as the breaking of an arm or
leg, or the cliteneation of the neck. On Sab.
bath evening last, as two gentleman of this
town were returning home iu a cutter the veh-
Rile upset a short distance north of the village.
The gentleman who had manipulated the lines
until they oarne to this particular spot in the
road, gave them up to his cautious companion,
who orhaps thought hs -would beeablo to drive
through in safety, but he had scarcely got hold
of the lines when the cutter tipped over. As
ristial with upsets in this burg, no one was
killed, but the driver had his left shoulder
blade severely injured.
RE-Arrested.—An Ingersoll correspondent
writing to the London Free Press on the 25th
inst. says : A very hard character, known best
by the mane of Beatty, but who has several
other names, used at times for convenience
sake, was one of a crowd that attended a ball
at the Carroll House some time ago, and be-
sides engaging in a general "muss," carried off
several articles belonging to others in attend-
ance. Since that time he was arrested in this
placefor theft and for carrying fire arms, and.
confined in Goderich Jail, from which place,
however, he escaped a few days ago, and hied
himself to the pine grove country, a few miles
south-east of Ingersoll, where on Saturday he
was arrested and lodged in the look -up, but
becoming weary of waiting f or his trial till
Tuesday he crawled. through the thick brick
