The peg -leg • tramp who shot and killed Constable Toohey at London sorue three months ago, has been run to earth at last. At least, that is what Chief of Police Williams of Lon. don, say, and his information appears to be genuine. A week ago Chief Williama received a telegram from the American capital, sayinglriefly, "We have your man.- Will we hold him ?" The answer by wire was Saturday two photographs of the peg - leg prisoner were received in London, aiso coming through the police depart- ment at Washington. They came in 'N\ response to the request of Chief Williams, and were large cabinets, and full size. These the detectives showed to several persons who saw the murderer on the eventful evening preceding the loul crime, and their prompt verdict was, "That's the man." Where the arrest took place is not known. but it was evidently made by officers acting under directions of the 'United States Government. LUeltiVolif PUBLIC SCHOOL Report for the month of' Novpmbr.

Geo, Ewart, at one time foreman of the Sentinel' office, was committed to jail the other day on a c.harge of criminal libel. A few years ago Mr. Ewart started. a newspaper in Burke's Falls, and was- getting along nicely until he ran.' foul of a Judge. It appears that the judge acquitted a boy who was bronght before hint on a charge of larceny, and Mr. Ewart forthwith begin to sail into the.Judge. But the trouble Was that George knew more about setting type than he did about the law, and as it turned out he assumed for facts, a good inany things that were not supported by the evidence, and the Judge at once proceeded to lay an information against him for criminal libel. Ile was arrested . and lodged in the Parry Sound jail. The magistrate there refused te accept bail, and ho will • have to remain in jail until the trial -collies off.

The weath- vas simply delightful on Tuesday, as it result the inside department the show never showed a larger etter display of exhibits than on cccasion. It was not only a at credit to the society, but to ry one who contributed towards its success. On Wednesday morning the pros - 4s for a fine day looked anything bu favorable: Throughout the whole forenoon heavy clouds coveted the sk ,., and about noon it commenced a dr zzling rain. This, no doubt, had the effect of keeping many at home, esPecially ladles, but it was surprising to eee the enormous crowds present, diOite the, disagreeable weather, and the , ate receipts, though not quite as large as last year, were very satisfiT• tory, and ahead of many former years. About two o'clock, however, the wind suddenly shifted to the north, and the rain clouds passed away, and a fine, though cool, afternoon was the result. THE HALL The large exhibition hall was tilled to overflowing with a tnagnificent ool- leetion, and taking altogether we think it was the best ever shown it, the hall. .The ladies' department, us usual, occupied nearly the whole of the north side of the large building. It was a grand exhibit and included many of the finest pieces of fancy work over shown in Lucknow, while the lines extending on both sides the entire length of the building, were covered with beautiful quilts of every conceiv- able color and patern. TilE FRUIT. In this department the exhibit was the finest we have ever seen. It embraced some five hundred splendid entries, and oceupied aluaost the entire south side of the building, and was pronounced by Mr. A. McD. Allan, of Goderich, who acted as judge, the beet he bad seen this season. The apples especially were not only large, butexceptionally good and well color- ed, while the pears, peaches and grapes ,were also good and largely represented. .There was a large and well assorted eitliibit of dairy produce, which togeth- er with the splendid show of grain, occupied a large part of the centre of the eThiall ler.00ts and ' vegetables, though not as largely ropresented as in former years, were exceedingly goad, and far .surpassed anything seen at the local shows iu this locality. There was also a very good exhibit of garden vegetables, cabbages, cauli_ flowers, squashes, citrons, etc. - Mr. -1), C.

The deer hunting season opens on Novem- ber 1st and lasts only fifteen day. Sportsmen who avail themselves of a trip throughtis country can count upon ruagnihceot sport as the fleet footed animals abound in great num- bera. Bear, fox, and other game are to be found in goodly numbers,_ and the finest trout and bass, and the weightiest meskinonge are the delight of all who tempt its waters with reel and line.

MY DEAR' FATHER, Your letter just at hand, and ant glad to hear the crops are good, businese ite holding its own, and that you all lave good health, which I also enjoy. We are having quite a few deaths through that lurk- ing disease, but I think they will soon commence to diminish, Have had no constitutional trouble since I have been on the island.. A person hu to be very careful what he eats or drinks. If the system gets out of order, you are likely to die without scarcely any warning, The heat is very intense. Am in camp now about a mile and a half frcut Santiago, overlooking the city and surrounded by old Spanish mine, forts and block houses. Our Co. K. of this regiment has been at Mord Castle ever since we landed. They wanted our. company to relieve them, but we refused, thinking it would be too monotonous, and also knowing we will soon have better quartere in Santiago, where we will move to by the ena of this month or the beginning of next, as soon as the Cubans (they are over a hundred) have it will well cleaned and fumigated. The building has been a hospital, but it is going to be used now as our barracks. Am away from camp meet of the time as special guard and inter- preter. Spanish is the prevailing language here, and I have learned that fairly well in Mexico and South America. The Cubans live very much the same as the Mexican'. The country abounds in all kinds of fruit, such as cocoanuts, bananas, lemon', limas, monkey plumbs, lemis, planters, etc., and the plantations give forth corn, sugar cane, lince seed, some wheat, etc" dOMO tobacco, but most of it is grown at the other end of the island, in Havana, Matanzas and ARMSTRONG'S Watches and be convinced. _ - Cienfagos. Game is plentiful, such as deer, cayotte, rabbits, birds of A, different species, all kinds of snakes, • tarantulas, vertnint of all kinds. The butzards are flying around the camp by the thousands; they even light in the Company .etreet. My tent seems to bc on an ant hill or nest. Am trying to . tame a little chenille (a species of lizzard) to come around the tent. They eat those ants and other vertnins.. Have been offered Oorportslehip, but have refused. The Captain and Firet Lieutenant are try- ing to prevail upou me to take it. There is not hauch more pay in it, but more work and responsibility. 1 think in a little while, a few months or 80, I may secure a good position by rny record in the army, and by means of influential persons, so don't care to accept position in the army, which will render my discharge more difficult. I see by the American Press that there is false reports sent out from here about the character of our regi- ment. We have arrested the guilty party, the sender, and he will be duly punished He is a Lieut. in the thi regiment, atod I think the investigrY areer.1) tion will implicate the Colonel of the ,i 1t: Rs satd regimm regiment.
