eral times that 'Peeping Tom would
come to grief. Deputy Marshal Knerr,
on hearing of his appearance Thursday
night, started to lay his plans for the
capture of this fellow-haying some sus-
picion of a man in this city; and last
night followed him when he left his
house. After lodging him for some time,
Knerr caught the fellow in the act of
peepinp in the back window of a private
residence, and went for him; but he got
away. Knerr then called Marshal Du-
mars to his assistance, when the two pro-
cecded to follow him. In a little while
discovered the fellow again peeping in a
window; whereupon the officers seized
him and took him TO the City Jail. Too
much praise can not be given the Mar
shall and his Deputy for their efforts in
securing 'Peeping Tom who has so
often disturbed and frightened families
in the town. He is known here as Pat.
McCue; and. we are told, has, beside his
many peecadillos in Hamilton, had pre-
yiously been persuaded to leave several
other towns for like offenses.
THE LIFTING MATcH.-There was quite
a full attendance at Smiths Opera
House, Treasure Hill, last night, to wit
ness the match between John Doe and
II. c. Miller, the former giving the latter
200 lbs. advantage. Everything was in

McBrien were selected as judges. and
Charles +. Mcintyre as referee. Miller's
weight is 40 lbs. and John Doe 1870 lbs.
The lifting commenced. Miller raised
the weight TO | $50 lbs. and John Doe TO
1900 lbs.-raising so lbs. more than
Miller. There being no more weights
present, the contestants agreed to post
pone the match. John Doe offered to
give Miller 400 lbs. advantage, for $500
aside, the match TO come off in Hnmil-
ton on Sunday next. Miller accepted
the propositions; after which John Doe
put 800 as n forfeit for the balance TO
