We thought Clinton was now in the
glory she had over the possession of
Prof. Plunkett, but the following ex
tracts show that such was not the case.
The only consolation derived from the
publication of these is that it partly al-
lows us to get even with the reseal,
and, eve• trust will aid in Making the cli-
neatest)! Canada too warm for hirsoccupae
Quoting our Tanneries of two
weekse.since tGalt Refornzer says
".The creditors of the young man in this
tOwn will doubtless b% happy to learn
that tbey are not the only °nee who
were." taken in" .by the stranger.. There
is a markerl similarity between the ex-
ploits ef the young man herolast sum-
mer and those related in the aboie
paragraph, which leads one to the ton -
elusion :that the " professor" is ,
in the art of." plunking.", It is tarok-
ble that the 'young man had gone to
Clintet shortly after his sudden .depart -
erre hind Gal -on the evening of his last-
entertyn'ment in the Town Hall."

Holt, counsel for McRoberts, a000n3panied
by the uncle and father of McRoberts, •
called at the gaol and requested to see the
prisoner. He was taken out of bed to see
them. They remained .together for about
ten or 'fifteen minutes ; McRoberts was
then put to his bed by Mr, Henderson,
the turnkey. The gaoler made his usual
rounds betsveen nine and ten o'clock, all
appeared safe, no cause for alarm, he theii.
retired for the night, Mr. Henderson also .
retired as usual without having cause .for
