Cireumstantial Evidence.

BY LIEUTENANT MURRAY.

Continued. This was bit a very few years since,

* when a resort to the duel in England

was scarcely heard of. But so much in earnest were those rivals that they agreed to this plan, selected the spot for the purpose, and made, very secret- ly, the necessary arrangements, when by some mistake all was discovered, they were brought before the local court and put under heavy bonds to respect the laws and to behave themselves gen- erally. This ended the proposed duel, though they liad been quite in earnest,

Both the family of Osgood and Cum- mings lived in outlying cottage houses ia the suburls of Bristol, and not far separated froin each other, all the other members of these families being oa the best of terms

One morning the neighborhood be«

eame very mach excited over the fact > . ° r that Frank Osgood was missing. The

windew of his room was open and very near the ground, by which means cer- trin tracks iudicate that he had left his father’s house. He had taken nothing away with him except the clothes he usually wore, so faras conld be discov- ered, and after « whole day's search for him, the matter of his suddea disap- pearance began to look quite serious.

Beneath the window young Osgeo:| seemed to have made his escape during the night, there were toot prints in considerable numbers as though there had been more than one person present at the time.

While these tracke continued ia the yard on the safe ground, they could be traced, and sa impression had been earefully taken of them by the police.

In the meantime every effort was made to diseovera solution of the mys. tery, but all (o no purpose.

Harry Cummings fouod the coast clear, so to speak, and in a few days he ventured to tell Miss Marr how tender- ly he loved her, and how long he had done so. ‘To his great delight he feund that his affection was reciprocated.

The exeitement at the disappearance ef Frank Osyood was in no way abated.

Suddenly it was remembered how bitter an enemy had lately sprung up between him and young Cummings. The officers of the law even referred to the proposed duel which had been pres vented by thointerference of the court, and it was more than hinted that pos- sibly Harry Cummings might throw some light upon the matter.

In his absence from home one day, a detective called at his house with a search-warrant, much to the consterna- of the family. This officer had with a measure representing the foot-prints under the missiug man’s windows, and he found that Harry's shoes just fitted the impression, which seemed to him to be such conclusive evidence of his hav- ing been present beneath the window, that he sought the office of the district attorney at once.

Strange whispers were heard about the neighborhood. Ilarry Cummings was kept vader close surveillance of the local police. All his incomings and outgoings were carefully observed, but nothing suapicious could be found against him except the fatal accuraey with which his shoes fitted those marks under the missing man’s window, and also the fact that he was so bittor an enemy of I‘rank Osgood. The senti-

ment of jealousy supplied a motive,and altogether « pretty suspicions case be- gun to grow up as against young Cum- mings.

Though on examination it appeared that Frank had left no money in his room, it was also remembered that he usually carried a pocket-book with him containing the most, if not all, of his available cosh funds, He wasin the re. ceipt of a regular salary from his fa- ther, and, as his habits were economi- calin their character, he must have had a considerable sum in his pocket book. But still there was no reason to suspect thal a robbery had taken place. The missiu zy must have been induced to leave his room voluntarily, that was plain, though why or wherefore was a profound mystery.

| An Ancient Anchor.

| DISCOVERY OF THE FiXING OF COLUMBUS! SHI?.

The Moniteur, of Martinique, prints an ‘interesting story about the finding of an ‘anchor belonging to the ship upon which 'Christopher Columbus sailed on : |yoyage of discovery to the New World. |Onthe night of August 1, 1498, says the Moniteur, the small fleet had come to an anchor at the southwestern extremity of the Island of Trinidad, to which the navi- gator had given the naine of Arenas Point. | Washington Irving relates that Columbus, lwho was a very poor sleeper, suddenly heard a frightful noise, apparently com- ing from the south. Rushing en deck he | saw rolling toward him a wave as huge as a mountain, which submerge the fleet.

All hands thought their last hour

come ; but the loss The

had the only damage sustained was ef the anchors of the Admiral’s ship. big wave was caused by the sudden swelling of one of the rivers that empty their waters into the Gulf of Paria, the existence of which was unknown to the discoverer. The incident is mentioned in the narrative of the voyage bequeathed to us by. Ferdinan- do, Columbus’ son, This historical anchor has been found after all these centuries by Senor Agostino, the owner of Arenas Point. It weighs 1,100 pounds and is of decidedly primitive form. Senor Agostino found it while making some excavations 11) his garden. This garden, upen careful moasurement, appears to occupy tae pre- cise spot where rode the ships of the great mariner in 1498. The finder at first took his treasure trove for a Pcenician anchor, but upon attentive exaiminstion he found the date of 1497 on the steck. se os tai leadidaeaballiaiaabinlich anaes amte

Already important evidence has been elicited atthe inquest in the case of the recent atrecious Biddulph murder which will go far towards the discevery ol the mur- derers of the Donuelly family. The lad O'Connor, who secreted himself under the bed, when the attacking party entered, and thus escaped the fate which befell the other inmates of the house, in his evidence before the Coroner's jury, implicated James Carroll, Thomas Ryder and John Purtell as being concerned in the murder, the boy them from his hiding place. The accused men are to be allowed to cross-examine O'Connor, but his state- ment is so explicit that there is little doubt the three men will be committed for trial. [It isto be hoped that’ further evidence, * to the identification of these con- cerned in the brutal murder will be elicited as the inquest proceeds, and that the authors of acrime almest unparaileled in its atreciousness will be brought to speedy punishment.

1 ED Mr. Bennett needn’t sleep out of doors, though, on account of giving away $100,000 to the [rish Retief Fund. This is probably about one feurth of his annual Income. Nobody ever hears anything definite as to what the Herald's profits really are, but taking all sources of revenue together, Mr. Bennett must be in receipt of fully $400,- 000 a year. The present circulation of the Terald is thought to be over 100,0t 0, and the advertising patronage increases steadily, Besides the revenue from the Heaald, there is a comfertable one frem the Telegram, which now has a handsome circulation, and the owner’s income from rents is another large item. He will not really miss the $100,000 but there are several rich men in New York who could spare $100,009 with- out missing it, yet it is very rarely that one of them hands over even half that amount for any purpose. Mr. Bonner gave $100,000 to pay off the debt on Dr. Hall’s church, and the Stuart brothers gave $50,000 each. But it is mighty hard to run acros a man who is willing to hand over so much money all at once.

When the church warden went to inquire what ‘just cause and impediment ’”’ she had to the union, she replied that she had a very just one. ‘‘ Well, what-is it?’ asked the offieial. ‘‘I-— I—want him myself,” naively stammered out the damsel,

CATARREE. Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRE,

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman saya of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Str—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par. ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quacter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
