SittingaBull and 200 of his people arrived at Fort uford yesterday and surrendered their arms and ponies. No speeches have et been made, as Bull and his orator are atigued and hungry. They were placed in compartments between the post and the boat landing, and are as securely in Major Brotherton’s charge as if in irons. A cor- respondent visited Bull after his lodge was ‘ erected and cheered the old man up by} informing him that he had seen his losti daughter, whom some Canadians had told‘ him was in chains, only a short time before, and that she was well and happy. The Chief expressed adesire to have a talk after he had rested and had something to eat. The cavalcade asit filed to the garrison attracted much attention. It consisted of six army waggons loaded with squaws and chi - dren. followed by twenty-five or thirty carts filled with baggage. Much credit is ’ven Legare for his faithful service to the vernment in finally inducing Bull to come in. He used his own means freely, Brovidin transportation and revisions. all an his chiefs and her men rode nies, and did not dismount and shake ands till they arrived at the place fixed for their camp. Sitting Bull seems more sullen and insolent than any of the chiefs. but it is thought kind treatment will soon satisfy him that the Government has Accepted his surrender in ood faith.

Mr. Hendry, the subject of this sketch, is a Scotohman by birth. He enlisted in the ' Seventy~eighth High. lenders in 1853, at the early age of 18, and almost immediately afterwards was sent from Chatham barracks to join his regi. ment in India. He first saw active service during the Persian campaign, being in: several bloody engagements. At the close of the Persian war his corps was ordered back toIndia to aid in suppressing the mu~ tiny of 1857-58; During these two years the Seventv-eighth saw some very hard< service, and the regiment became woiully‘ decimated by disease and caeuality. They‘ were engaged in thirteen general actions,‘ besides innumerable skirmishes with the? Sepoys, a record to which every Seventyfl eighth man points with pride. At the time the European garrison was hemmed} in at Cawnpore by the enemy, the Seventy-1 eighth formed the advance of the famous‘ corps under General Havelock, who made‘ such, strenuous forced marches to effect its relief. Our readers will remember} with sadness the he t~siekening sights‘ witnessed by Haveloc and his followers‘ on arriving at Cawnpore. “Too late, my men," murmured the brave but dejected general to his jaded troops; “ the poor people are all butchered." And true it was. The heroic little garrison had strug- gled hard against the mutineers until but a few hours previous to the arrival of Gen. Havelcck’s command, when they were overwhelmed by an onslaught of the Sepoys, men, women and children mas- sacred in cold blood, and their bodies cut up and thrown into the wells of the city. A thrill of horror ran through the relief corps as they beheld the hellish work of the natives, and each registered a vow to avenge the death of their murdered friends and relatives. At the relief of LucknowMr.Hendry’sregimentalsoiormed the advance, and here it was that the peel of ba ipes led by him gave such a ‘ learn of ope to those weary, anxious uropeans inside the besieged city. In this action Mr. Hendry was struck in the left knee by a 9.pound cannon shot fired from the top of a bungalow. disabling him for further service. The limb was ampu- tated just above the knee, and now the old veteran carries a reminder_ of that episode A. .

Mr. Pollard. of the Treasury, in opening the case for the prosecution. mentioned Letroy’s possession of his victim's watch. his disappearance and hiding, his removal of his moustache and whiskers and his redemption of the pistol from the pawn only a few hours before the murder, as links in the chain of circum- stantial evidence against him. The identification of Lefroy as the rail- way murderer is likely tobe brought about in a very curious way, and by his commis- sion of another ofience before that of the murder. No one,’ it seems, absolutely saw the man with his victim together in the same car. in such a way as to identify Lefroy, though a woman did see two men apparently struggling together as the train rushed past her. But this struggle was. it is believed, so violent as to make Lefroy drop some curious Hanoverian medals of no value. but in general appearances very much like sovereigns. Now it appears that, in the village where Lefroy lived, there also lived a Mrs. Clayton. who kept a school and was well- kncwn' to' a ,bookseller of the village named Ellis, he also knew Lefroy as a customer. 0 the morning of the murder Ellis received note purportingto come from Mrs. Clayton requesting him to call about some books. This note was probably forged by Lefroy, for while Ellis was out of his shop seeking Mrs. Clayton, Lefroy entered it and handing to the boy in charge â€"who knew Lefroyâ€"a sealed package which Lefroy said contained two sovereigns, received change after the amount of the account he owed was deducted. Lefroy had twice before left money in this manner, and the she -boy had no suspicions. Mrs. Clayton new nothing of the note and Ellis on opening the package discovered it to hold only two Hanoverian medals. These were the precise counterparts of those picked up in the compartment and which were undoubtedly dropped in the struggle. “THE DARK PLACES OF THE EARTH.” Terrible Massacre of 1,000 \Vomen and Childrenâ€"A Lava Stream.

The eople of the southern por- tion of the islsn became dissatisfied at the constant requisitions on them, and their apostle Kubs preached a crusade against the northern people. He armed his fol- lowers and led them in person. An indis- criminate slaughter ensued, over 1.000 women and children being massacred. The bodies were collected in a pile and burned. Kubs has been taken to Honolulu to answer for his crime. A man and his wife, of the name of Zysset, have just been sentean at the Mittelland Assizes. Canton Berne, to penal servitude for life for having murdered all their children. numbering either five or seven. They admit having put five to death. and there is reason to believe that they killed two others whose births they concealed. Their motive for committing crimes so terribly unnatural and revolt- ing was simply to save themselves the trouble and explense of bringing their chil- dren up, for t ough in humble circum- stances the Zyssets seem to have been far from poor, a considerable sum of money having been found in their house when they were arrested. The plan theyadopted to get rid of the chi dren was to deprive them of food, an when the recess of starvation did not aspear quic enough, or the little ones crie too much, it was accelerated by strangling or knocking them on the head. When thejury gave in their verdict they expressed regret that under the resent law of Berne, the Zyssets could not go sentenced to some severer punish- ment than perpetual imprisonment.
