the South and West have no particular
love for British connection, yet 1t Is one
thing TO detest government, and quite o
different affair TO venture life, limb, and

for Seymour Hill, distant about fourteen
miles. While passing through Lisbon,
the military headquarters, she saw the
advertisement of the reward for the arrest
of Munro. After little consideration,
she went 10 the commanding officer and

her message. Mr.. Johnson's family told

her with pound for every shilling the

the government, and on tho following day
the head Of poor Munro was hanging from
the spire OF 1isburn Market House.
