This impression is deepened by the discovery that the suspected man’s shirt is bloody. William Shaw was hurried before a magistrate, and upon the evidence given was committed to prison on suspicion of the murder of his daughter Catherine. He was shortly after brought to trial, when he admitted, without difï¬culty, that he had placed his daughter under lock and key to prevent her intercuurse with Lawson ; that he had i on many occasions insisted on her marry- ing Robertson, and that he â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" yum" auu. 1113 uallgn- ter, and W88 very much struck by the girl’s utterance of the words already mentioned, Which had been enunciated with distinction and emphasis“ A silence, which continued for some time, followed'the departure of the father; but that was succeeded by sev- eral groans, which, following the cruel and bitter words, attracted the attention of Morrison. He became so alarmed that he ran to some of the occupants of the house and told them what had passed. Some'of them followed Morrison to his room and listened attentively, and not only heard groans, but the following words, faintly spoken by Catherine Shaw, “Cruel father, thou art the cause of my death.†Seriously alarme , they rushed to the door of Shaw’s ‘ apartments and knocked loudly, but no ; answer was given; all was dead silence.

On being ques- tioned ‘as to whether her death was the work of her father, she was just able to make a. doubtful motion of the head, which was considered to b ' the afï¬rmative, and then expired. At flterrible moment the poor father returns, and is confronted by the horrible spectacle of his dead daughter covered with blood. All watch him keenly, and his disorder and excitement were naturally extreme. He turns pale, trem- bles in every limb, and nearly falls sense- less on the floor.

He had , but one daughter, Who kept house for him. ' She, who was awoman oi determined will and strong passmns, encouraged the attach- , ment of a man named John Lawson, a jeweller. Wilham Shaw considered Law- son to be a dissxpated and profligate young man, and, on that very sufï¬cient ground, forbade him to come to his house in pursuit of his daughter. In deï¬ance of this com- mand of her father, Catherine and Lawson continued to meet in a clandestine manner, and her father, discovering this conduct, kept her strictly con ï¬ned. William Shaw had found a. man whom he wished Catherine to marry, named Alexander Robertson, the son of a friend and neighbor. He strong- 1y urged the suit of this young man, but Catherine as ï¬rmly and energetically refus- ed to have anything to do with him, declaring she preferred death to being Robertson’s wife. The father became en- raged at the determined deï¬nance of his daughter. and the most passionate expres- sions were made use of on both sides; among them such words as barbarity, cruelty, and death fell from the girl’s lips. : After this had continued for some time ‘William left the room, locking the door after him.

Now that they had overtaken the moose, the men, under the watchful eye of the chief, looked rather sheepish until one of them, idly picking up a piece of snow, tossed it at the animal. Then every one seemed taken with the novelty of snowballing a moose, and a. perfect fusillade of missiles was directed at the terriï¬ed beast. He was too tired to make further attempt to escape, but rolling his great eyes, he stretcched out his head on the snow, the steaming breath. from his nostrils blowing the flakes aside in ‘ small clouds. The white balls flew in show- ers about his broad-branched horns and whistled past his ears, but the only sign of ' the terror he felt at the unusual attack was the rapid, spasmodic twitching of his short tail, a movement that was strangely discordant with the dignity of the monarch of the Acadian forests. ‘ a. shout from the head of the column told that the moose was in sight. The atragglera came up quickly, and there about ï¬ve rods to one side of the showshoe trail, was the moose, a. splendid bull three or four years old. He was embedded in the snow almost up to the back,and was pufï¬ng like a. steam engine ; _comp1ebely exhausted. They kept ‘up the rapid pace for over an hour, every minute showing that the moose was struggling on with increasing difï¬culty. At intervals thetrail indicated that he had fallen from exhaustion, and had lain for a. moment to rest in the snow. These snow casts of his big body became more frequent, and it became evident at last that their quarry was almost spent.a.nd that unless he sought shelter in the hills they must soon overtake him. at the noise of the advancing column. Several times the tracks devzated from the l path of the party disappearing in the thick underbrush of the wooded bills at either side. Bat they always returned to the less obstructed ground in the gully. \Vord was passed back along the line that. there was a moose ahead, and the pace was quickened. There was no particular object in overtaking the moose, as every man in the party had as heavy a load strapped to his back as he cared to carry, and fresh meat was plenty. Besides, the chief en- gineer was noted th'oroughout the provin ce as a stickler for the Game laws. But the moose was going their way,and there was a dash of excitement of the chase in the effort to get a glimpse of him. An Odd Boar's Sport in the 5:10 W-clad Forests of New Brunswick. A party of Government surveyors in the province of New Brunswick had a curious hour’s fun last week at the expense of a bull moose. They were on their way into [the northeastern forest for the winter’s work upon the crown lauds. A deep snow has just fallen and the men were plodding along on snoWshoss in single ï¬le. The line of surveyors, chainmen, axemen, and‘ carriers stretched out over a distance of an ‘ eighth of aimilc in theltreeless}gully through which their course lay. Suddenly tho, in the lead discovered the fresh track 'f a. moose heading in the same direction as the party. They showed that the animal was havmg a. hard time of it, floundering belly deep in the soft snow, and was evi- dently The letter was, of course, immediately made public, and the handwriting recog- nised as that of the girl Whose suicide had led, as she appeared to hope, to conviction and execution of her unhappy father for ‘ murder. The letter naturally aroused a strong universal feeling of sympathy for William Shaw. The magistracy of Edin- burgh, after careful examination, being convinced of the genuine character of the letter, ordered the body of William Shaw to be taken from the gibbet and given to his family for interment; and. as somerepara- tion to his memory and the good name the family had always borne, they caused a pair of colors to be waved over his grave in token of his innocence. l read this, consider yourself as the inhuman wretch that plunged the murderous knife into the bosom of the unhappyâ€"CATHERINE SHAW.†K Can See His Heart Beat- SR OWBALLIN Gr A MOOSE.
