W. Cull; $300 by Mr. John McCurdy, Kirkton; $600 by Mr. W. Hanson, Fullerton; $300 Thomas Coats Esq', Exeter, also several hundred by Mr. James A. Watson, of Mitchell. Mr. Cull, with detective McCarthy, Stratford, at once went in search of the fugative, and theyoverhauled him in Hillsdale, Michigan. He at once admitted his guilt, when ho waeplaced under ar rest and taken to Port Huron, where he now lies in jail.
