THE LATE MURDER AT ST. FERGUS.—It was sup.
posed that Dr. Smith, after so narrowly escaping the
clutches of Calcraft, had returned to his home, and all
trace of him had been lost. We learn, however, that the
reception prepared for him by the villagers rendered it
unsafe to attempt so bold an experiment, and, after jour-
neying to Aberdeen, it was arranged that his wife should
meet him some miles to the west of that city. As soon
.thereafter as the business could be carried through, he
took his passage for Australia, with the intention that
his wife should join him by and by. We believe no at-
tempt will be made to render the insurance effected on
the life of the murdered man available.—North British
Daily Mail.
