An advertisement wi’il he found in another column, of the Beaver and To~ "mute M utual Insurance Company, on ‘-the suljeet of the Ottawa fires, which occurred on the 17th August last. \Ve notice that this fire extended over near- ly the whole ofthe townships of Hatch, Huntley, Titzrny, Gonlbum, Nepean, and several others, laying the greater part of that section of country in ruins; that not only hundreds of horses and cattle perished, but a number of people lost their lives by this wide spread cen- flagration. The “Beaver,” we are hapâ€" . py to learn, seems to he determined to, settle up their claims honorably, and continue their Operations. It is well ‘ that it is so, for it would not be surpris- ing it an Insurance Company, losing so heavily in a single day, were to be dis- abled. We learn that it is only the policies in force on the day of the :fire that will be assessable, and that those issued after that date will not be afi'ect- ed thereby. This Company is one of the largest in the Province, and weshave no doubt but the members will respond to the directors’ call for additional means, wi:h promptitude, as none of us know how soon we may require similar aid. Godcricb, Sept. 30.-â€"William Mer- cer, the lad who murdered Joel Dean, was tried at. the assize here today, and found guilty. He was sentenced to be hung on the 29th of December. ed There lay the body of their friend, far gone in decomposition, of course.â€" It was surrounded by fire, which was stiii burning, but had not consumed the body. Wrapping the remains in new. canvass they bore it oh 3 po!e to the boat. Night, however, came on, and being nnprovided for camping out, they had temporarily, to drop their burden. {eturning in the morning they resumed their load, and in due course reached home, where their arrival was expected with intense excitement. The following particulars may refresh our rendera’ recollection of the brutal case Mercer, on being placed in the dock,’ looked sullenly at. the Judge, and smil-é ed sardonieally at a friend in the Court]; room. He is a stout. built youth, slight-g ly pockmarhed, with beetle brows like a? London cracksman. His mother was present for a time, and seemed over‘ whelmed with grief. The jury were! sworn, and evidence corroborating the; story detailed above was given. The1 Judge made an able charge, and after a; fen minutes consultation, the jury‘ brought in their verdict of guilty. As the foreman uttered the word “guilty,” a. shriek came from the passage to the the Court, and a scene occurred which 1 do not. wish to behold again. Mero cer’s sister was struggling with two po- licemen for admittance to see her broth- 'er. They were attempting to get her into a cab, and finally she swooned away, just as Mercer passed her, hand- called, and in charge of the Sheriff.â€" He looked downcast, but tried to put on an air of bravado, very unbecoming his deSparate position. The trial caused- great czecitement throughout this pathof the country. The Town Council of Peterboro held aspeci‘al meeting on Wednesday 28th ultimo, for the purpose of voting a grant. towards the construction of the Pelerboro and Halibut-ton Raiiwny. A by-law appropriating a sum of $40,00 : was unanimously passed through two readings, and will be submitted to a vote of the ratepayers on the 27th of fictober. There is every reason to be- lieve that the movement for the railway isquite popular and that the hy-law will receive the full sanction of the public The crime of. horse stealing appears to Beatill on the increase in the coun- try within a radius of thirty miles of Kingston, and a. week rarely passes but one or two cases are reported. On the 28th ultimo, a span of vnhmhle mares were stolen from the pasture of Mr. J. S.- RombOUgh, residing on lot 24', 7th concession of the township of Camden. THE GODERICH' MURDER BED STINCED TO DEATH. 01‘. I!“ wa. Fuses. H...“ It is reported that a prominent Hud~ son Bay otficial at Fort Garry has caus- ed a considerable portion of Riel’s cor- respondence to be burned. Schultz has taken possession of his old premises, which he found totally damaged. His stock of goods was near- ly all gone, and be will sell out what. little remains by auction. Letter to the 13mm dated Red River, 12th, says Gov. Archibald has appoinled T. Boy Secretary of State.â€" Numerous deputations of half-breeds have called on the Governor to assure him of their support. Dr. Schultz’s newspaper, the 115158 Letter,says:â€"-“Isidore Goulet, having the harélihood 80 show himself near the scene of ‘his:crimes, was schased ‘by some .voyageurs, who wished 'to thrash him.â€" He secreted himself near Point ‘Doug- ins, and drew a revolver; and the men in pursuit, wh) were unarmed, yelled at him, when he threw away his coat and pistol and plunged into the fled River to swim across. Hal-{way over he sank. It is suppos‘ 3) cramps. Grave dissatisfaction is feit through the settlement at the Hudson’s Bay Company having monopolizcd the sup- plying of the ”0093. 81‘. PAUL, Minn, Oct. l.-â€"-The Press this morning publishes a. letter dated Pembina, the 20th on , in which the writer says something like a reign of terror exists in‘the settlement; that Governor Archibald does not seem able to maintain and give security to life and property, and that the friends or sympathizers of the RM government are frequently assaulted by Canadians. The News Letter contains the follow. ing items :â€" Dr. Schultz is publishing a sma} newspaper at W'iuuipeg. In reference to the death of Goulet, the writer says, Major Robinson, recog- nizing the deceased as an American citizen, caused search to be made for his body, which was found shortly after having sunk. When the reached the deep water quite near the shore, one of the men who helped to recover the body states that several cuts and bruises on his right. temple indicated that he was knocked senseless with stones, while try. ing to save himself by swimming, but «Keel the Coroner’s jury consulted their personal safety and failed to find such injuries on the body. The writer closes by stating that a Canadian vigilence committee has been formed by the Schultz party, whose object it is to .an- noy the Americans living :in the settle- ment; that Schultz and the Canadians are Opposed to Governor Archibald and the Hudson Bay Company, and it is thOUght that trouble may arise between them as political complication is deepâ€" ening every day. PROSP] CT FOR THE ”WINTER. Complaints are frequently made to the Government against the parties who committed the outrages last winter, but no action is yet. taken to punish them. Altogether quiet reigns in Manitoba. It is generally believed that the elec- tions fur the Local Legislature will take place in a fortnight. The Sheriff, Coroner and Postmaster appointed by Riel have vacated their offices. After much blaster and excitement? the Americans are submitting to the} proper working of our fishery laws with l all patience and docility. We were to have been blown to atoms if we attempt- ed to seize a single Yankee ship, )et some six of their craft have been takeni for intruding upon our grounds, and‘ things go on in their usual course. It is well that this is the case. We want nothing but what is right and fair. The Americans will not form a liberal com- mercial treaty with us; they throw us upon our own resources, and surely Lthey cannot blame us for making the ‘ best use we can of our own prOperty. â€"â€" aFirmness 1n our Dominion Government :and in the Imperial Parliament has lgreatly benefitted us, and our Southern ineighbors therefore conclude that it is l best to let our reasonable laws take g their proper course. It is pleasing also to know that our fishermen feel to a great extent the ab. senee of Yankee poachers. 'l'heir take of fish this year has been much more abundant than formerly, and prosperity is therefore returning to them. This fishing arrangement will much advance the cause of Confederation.

G OULET'S DEATH. ed that be was seized with Our Fisheries. “'e are indebted to the Mount Forest Examiner for the information that final arâ€" rangements have been made for completing the line to Mount Forestâ€"the consideration being the bonuses of $35,000 and $20,000 respectively, from ‘the municipalities of Ar- ‘tbur and Mount Forest. The ratepayers of Arthur have already assented on their part, and those of Mount Forest will be called on, this month, to decide for themselvesâ€"- They will undoubtedly ratify the bargain.â€" The same authority announces that the sur- veyors are already at work locating the line, that. the heaviest work is to be done during the «ensuing winter, :and that the whole road‘is ‘to be in working order early next seas-in. We congratulate the direc- tors on having repudiated the burglarious policy of their predecessors. It will not be forgotten that but for the watchful 'ell‘orts of'tbe ‘Reeve of Egremont $40,000 of the {capital of that township would have been l alienated, neither can it be forgotten that F, the peOple of Mount Forest lent themselves Eto the Toronto organization .to effect the lattemp'ted spoliation. Mr. Wakefield has ’his satisfaction. The road is to be com- : pleted to Mount Forest and the municipali- ities within 'the "bounds of ”the “County of Grey have their resources under'théir own control, an advantage, of which we are quite persuaded, they will “become increas- ingly sensible. If the narrow gauge is found to answer the purpose, it will, even at Mount Forest, probably attract a small ,portion of the business that would. rothen‘vise find its way to Hamilton, Clifford and Walkertonâ€"in shortâ€"it will be an agency of great public convenience. We do not say that the railway board has been compelled by the mutterings of discontent heard in Toronto, to pay-an instalment of its liabilities to the public, or, that the Corporation of Mount Forest acts *honor- ably only when it retreats from an unsuc- cessful attack'upon its neighbors’ purse.â€" We will not fastidiously' inquire into mo- tives. We congratulate both the contract- ing parties on their avowal of good inten- ‘tions, which we hope will be carried into practical efi’ect. The last annual show of this Society, which was held in Durham on the 29th ultimo, had all the advantages of a very fine day. The attendance was unusually large. Regarded as a gathering of young men and maidens, it was a success, but as an exhibition of stock and agricultural pro- ducts, it was nothing to boast of. The pro- ducts of the dairy and of domestic manu- facture were good, but were confined to very few exhibitors.

DURHAM CHRONICLE. The show of herses was meagre, and E with the exception of a young Bull shown 1 by Mr. Park, a cow and some heifers be. i longing to Mr. Wakefield, and a heifer be.i loeging to Mr. McKay, the cattle were he-s bind the times. The sheep and pigs were i good, but there is some significance in the i fact that the first prize in rams was taken 3 by one who performed the same feat in each 1 of the previous three years. The Messrs. Cochrane exhibited a reaper and separator and some minor forms of agricultural imfl plements. In the two first named articles 5 they had no competitors, an indication, we‘ suppose, that none dare to question their ‘ supremacy in that line. Mr. Kilgonr and Mr. Swan at Mount Forest, had each a plough on the ground. Mr. Swan’s was the least pretentious, and was, by some , volunteer judges, regarded as the most use; ! ful of the two. Mr. Griffith exhibited some Icreditable specimens of saddlery and har- E ness, and Mr. Nestsr, of Neustadt, showed a buggy, far superior to anything that we 5 have seen at any of our previous exhibitions. i The grain, fruit and roots were highly credo ttable to the growers. The samples of po- tatoes, especially the newer varieties, were , particularly good. South Grey Agricultural Show. In the evening the dinner sustained the reputation of the “International,” under the superintendance of Mr. and Mrs. Harris â€" The company was small, but the tepics dis- cussed, after refreshment, were handled in a practical manner. Among other propos- ed improvements tending to secure the ob- ject for which Agricultural Societies were instituted, much stress was laid upon the de- sirability of applying the funds in the en- couragement or actual purchase of improv- ed breeds of cattle. On this point great unanimity prevailed. We gathered from the tone of several of the Speakers that the annual meetings of the Society might, with advantage, be held alternately at other places in the Riding. It has been, it appears, the practice of the members present at the annual meet- ing for the election of office-hearers, to se- lect. directors with a View to the" representa- tion of the whole Riding, but, that practi- cally, the attendance has been confined to a few residing within easy distance of Dur- ham, and even of these it was often difficult to secure a quorum. We would suggest that an extra effort be made to encourage members from a distance to attend the next annual meeting, to assert their privileges, and thus exercise such a control over the management of the Society as will make it, what it is designed to be, an agency of use- fulness. Mr. Daiglish, who seems to be suitably impressed with a sense of the importance of agricultural interestsâ€"03ers a prize of ‘:25 for the best bred Bull. Mr. Adam Coch- rane, who appe‘ars to doubt whether cows or votes were the object of commisseration, intimated that Mr. Jackson would not per- mit himself to be outbid, even if it .shonld reach the length of a reaperâ€"and mower combined, we supposeâ€"~33 a prize. Mr. A. W. Lander, M. L. A., quietly retired shortly after dinner. His withdrawal has supplied material for speculation. It is re- ported that, on the {Ollowing morning, the ske’eton ufa speech was found in the vicini' THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1870. ty of the “infernational,” in which the resp'eclive paragraphs wér'é headed, “ bone and sinew,” “ brawny arms,” “ horny hands,” “stalwart forms,” "pioneers tack- ling the forest,” “cheap laués for the mil- lion,” :c., else. Tapics like these, if band- led with the force and vivaciiy which Mr- Laude'r can command, would have produc. ed an interesting speech, but we are not even certain that the meeting was indebtfid to him {or we intention.

DETA-ILS OF THE CAPITULATIONâ€"SCEN'ES m T‘HE CITYâ€"INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE COMMANDING GENERALSâ€"AN IM- PBESSIVE MEETING. Strasbourg, Sept..'2'9.â€"'On Tfies’day at 4 p. in. .the joyful sight of a. white :flag; was beheld flying from the cathe- drai. IThis was 'Spe'e’dily followed by the same welcome token of surrender from the citadel. Firing instantly ceas- ed, a universal cheer rose from one por- tion of the besieging lines, which was soon caught up and echoed throughout? the entire army. Oficers e'mbra'eed each other by elasping hands ; the men followed this example and some actual. l‘y cried With joy. Upon entering the‘ city the sight, which was impressive and 1 sad at the same time, was relieved by l the evident joy of the citizens at their release from suffering and suspense. â€", The commanders of the two forees met for the first time ‘yesterday after the terms of capitulatiou had been arranged. The meeting took place just insidec the lgate on the east side. Gen. Uhrich ad vanced to Gen. Werder, and with a voice much agitated, ‘said i “I have yielded to an irresistible force when fur- ther resistance was only a needless sacrio fice of the life of brave men. I have the consolation 'of knowing that I have yield; ed to an honorable enemy.” Gen. Werder, much affected, placed both hands on Gen. Uhrieh’s shoulders and said : “Yoquought bravely. You will have as mue'hzliono‘r from the enemy as you can have from your own country ' men” A hasty examination of the city ‘shows that it has not sufiered as much 1 as was supposed. The exterior of the leathe'dral appears much injured, but not lsuflieiently" .o prevent its restoration to ! its original shape; Among the buildings ldestroyed was the fine public library , i books Were previously removed. It does not appear that there had been much actual sufic1ing for want of food. The principal cause of anxiety was con. finement and want of good water. Sev l eral cases of mortality are reported as l the effect of the bombardment, but 1 be I licve the accounls are eXaggerated "l he {reports charging Uhrich with brutality i are without foundation. His conduct {towards the citizens was marked with I the greatest humanity and consideration. THE SURRENDER 0F STRES- BOURG. THE MISCNERS AND Tnovmss TAKEN BY GERMANY-+26.

Even with the sparse population of the American nation, intrigue, corruption, and State extravagance was fearful.
