A Mystery. --It Is very strange that prison•
ers who can be kept safely in the Exeter lock-
up can make their escape from the county jail,
Nevertheless, such is the case, Fullington,
McRoberts, and Fisher, all of whom have
broken jail at Goderich lately, have beeu ander
the charge of Constable Gill, of Exeter, and
have been confined in the lock-up in this town.
But the Goderich jailer is tt little hard of hear-
ing. There would be no escapes if Constable
Gill were jailer. But we can't spare him.
