Murder In Canada.

From the Toronto Colonist, Nov. Is.
We stated In the C0lonist OF Tuesday, that Mr..
James Sheppard relative of Mr.. Sheppard Of
YoDge street, had been murdered near the corner
OF Kingston and Markham roads, ON the lice Of the
Grand Trunk railroad, on the night of Saturday
last or early on the following Sunday morning. An
inquest has been held on the body BY Mr.. Coroner
Duggan. Of this city. The verdict which the jury
returned, was one Of wilful murder against Mathew
Gleason and Timothy Msgrath. The former admit.
ted his guilt. The most strange part OF the affair is
that Sheppard, who is an Enelisbmsn, was murder
ed on account Of his religion he being Protestant
ard the two murderers Roman Catholics.
This stated in effect by Glseson, but we sh ,ud
hope it ia no. correct. If true, 1t Ia alarming to
think that religious bigotry should lead to the com
mission Of such horrible crme.-Gleeson, on
heng asked why he dad committed the deed, said
that he had no i'll feeling against deceased, as an
acquaintance, but that his religion alone induced
them to kill him. Eight men altogether were ar
rested on suspicion, by order of Mr.. Wheeler j. p,
who displayed much &C ivity ON hearing of the
awfll o. currence. Sheppard was brutality murdered,
not having, as far yet known, given the slightest
proyocation his pait-his only offen ,e beiag,
one of the prisoners stated that he was Protestant
He seems to have been held in esteem by his fellow

An AMERICAN ARRESTED IN MEXICO.

[From the Brownsville (Texas) Flag Oct IL
Last week Capt. Armstrong, an officer on the
authorities OF Mexico and detained in manner that
can only be accounted for by desire to harrass and
annoy cur citizens. The facts relating to this ar
rest, heard them related by eye Witness are
as follows:
TIE steamer WAS on her upward trip FROM this
place, and when short distance below Rio Grande
city, the boat run out of wood. Tnere being none
on the American, Capt King ordered some Of his
men to take the yawl cross on to the Mexican bank
and there purchase sufficient to take them to where
wood could be procured. Capt. Armstrong, who
was clerk of the boat, with her commander, Capt.
King, accompanied the party after the wood; Capt.
Armstrong taking gun with him with which to
amuse himself while the hands were at work. He
bad sirayed but short distance from his party
when he was beset by band Of soldiers, who pur-
SUED him to the river and there arrested him and
carried him prisoner to Camargo.
Now, the mere fact of this arrest might be excu-
sable had it ended there as recently issued order
csmmaGdipg tho arrest Of oil persons crossing
aimed unto that bank might argue Justification But
such was not the case. Immediately after the arri
val Of the boat at Rio Grande City, Captain King
stated the facts to the commandant Of the American
pest Ct Fort Bsknap, ana together they related the
occurrence 10 the commandment Of the Mexican
forces at Camargo, proving the entire Ignorance on
tie pSIr OF Captain Armstrong OF the pr. hbitory
d,c;ee and his utter innocence of any criminal in
tat. and asked his discharge. No sound reason
ecu be urged for bis detention-his innocence
could have been proved by almost every inbabitant
OF Cana IL not by the Mexican commanding off,
Ger himself having been running the river for the
last seven years, and fav0raby know to every one
on either bark. All this would no. suffice for those
who axe Clothed With little briet authority,r
hoTever. Ths have their prisoner, and must need
annoy Linn awhile. An excuse was urged tnat Gen.
Vol, at Matarn0ras, muss be consulted, and in the
meantime an American citizen, for no offence in
fact, must be incarcerated in loathsome prison,
perhaps with the viest Of felons, until the modern
pssha OF this frontier, HUNDREDS Of miles distant
ihall be consulted as to his liberty.
