From the Buffalo Courier.
A Remarkable Character.

The noted R. ]. McHenry at present oc-
cupies the position of cook on board the
schooner Gray Eagle, in the Buffalo and
Cleveland trade. The pay is $l5 per
month. He is gathering pile of docu-
ments, with which he purposes blowing the
Canadian government sky high on the first
favorable opportunity. He is not in a very
happy frame of mind. Many people in
Canada still believe he is the notorious
Townsend, whose black and cold -blooded
crimes made him terror throughout Can
ada West and all along the lake shore. He
tried to lecture in Vienna, near Port Bur-
well, few days ago, and barely escaped
being mobbed by the excited citizens. Her
Majesty's subjects across the line regard
him with a suspicious eye.
The mans case is remarkable one.
Perhaps it has no parallel in criminal juris
prudence He was tried twice for crimes
committed as Townsend-the murders of
Nellis and Richie. In the first trial the
jury disagreed; on. the second he was de-
clared to be McHenry, and not guilty. One
hundred and sixty-fve witnesses. in both
trials, swore positively that he was Town
send. About half that number swore that
he was not. A few witnesses from Cali
fornia, who came all the way from there to
Canada expressly to testify, saved him from
the gallows. Immediately after the con-
clusion of his second trial he was arrested
for highway robbery-for robberies com
mitted by Townsend, the man he had just
been declared not to be He was released
on f70O bail. This case never came to
trial, and probably never will. He was
confined eighteen months in the Canada
Jail. His trial cost the Province over
$4,000. He asked redress of the Prov
ince, in the shape of compensation for his
sufferings and hardships, and had person
al interview with the Governor General,
who told him that notwithstanding the
verdict of the jury, the eye of the law look
ed upon him as Townsend" and no COM
pensation could be allowed him.
He says the prejudice this side of the
line is against him. He cannot get any
thing to do that suits him. He writes a
rapid, elegant hand, and is a good account

the frigid shoulder when he asks them for

Adorn the wales and crown the bib,
Stern labor lights its beacon fres,
Aud plumes with smoke the forge and mill.
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scared with lightning scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide,
And there unrolls the flag of stars
The engine with its lungs of flame
And ribs Of brass and joints of steel,
From labor's plastic fingers came
With sobbing valve aud whirling wheel
lis labor works the magic press
- And turns the crank in hives of toll
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sunbrowne1 Toll, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silyery ties.
Strung thick with balaces oe trade,
And temples towering to the skies.
