A Snowsen “or TRovr.—It rained very heavy at Port Hope, Ont., on the morning of the 30:h. Mr. shepherd, of that place, noticed some very heavy drops falling before his door. On eXamination it proved that five speckled trout, between three and four inches long had fallen from the cloudy, Mr. Shepherd picked them up and placed them in a pail of water, where they swam around as lively as if they had not taken such’ an aerial flight. Captain Robbins secured the finny strangers, and now has them in a glass vase for the inspection of the curious.

Tue Dunn Morper TriaL.—The New York Herald says:—For t«o long yéara Stephen Dunn, charged with the murder of Charles Fletcher, both of ‘Cole’s Circus, his remained in the common jail at Ottawa. At each cir- cuit held since his arrest, his counsel have endeavored to’have his trial brought on, but in each case the Crown Attorney has had the case postponed, promising to porduce evidence to convict him at the next court. Frequent appeals have been made for his liberation, as there was no evidence to show that he was guilty, all of which have been refused. On the 30th” ult., application was madeto the Attorney General of the Province for his re- lease on bail which was also refused. Dunn comes from the United States, where his friends reside Public opinion exhnerates him from any connection with the crime, yet Canadian law gives Crown the Attorney power to hold him.

A MAN named Oliver Fillmore was streck and killed by a train, on Thursday last, near River Philip, on the Intercolonial. He was building a road between Oxford and Thompson Statiop. He and his son had been chopping all day and had started for their home at Oxford to get their supper. They were walk- ing on the railway track. The younger Fill- more heard a train appoaching and stepped off the track. As his father continued walk- ing along the track, he told him to hurry and get off, as the train was fast approaching them. The son caught the old gentleman, who appeared stupfied, by the arm and was just pulling him from the track when the engine struck him, throwing him over the curb stone of the bridge and knocking him senseless. After about twenty minutes he partially recovered consciousness, and the son went for assistance. When he returned all that remained of his father was a lifeless body.
