I felt on irresistible desiro to punish Mr. Holder, who 1 was ipnatsly copi vinped was the murderer of the aged school master, and, I strongly suspected, of William Clementine, too. Besides I was only nineteen years old, and, having followed a sea-faring life, was liberally imbued with that spirit of daring and enterprise which that profession' is so well calculated to induce. 1 therefore determined to keep strictly silent regarding all. that had passed, knowing that the most advisable plan Was to impress Mr. Holder with a conviction that his artifice remained undiscovered. Should I come in collision with bim, I felt the most perfect confidence in my own resources, having long been considered ait excellent marksman With a pistol. My resolution tho* being formed, I proceeded to tho sitting-room, and was not muoh surprised to find out that Mr. Holder jbad left the inn. . - . . v " I hardly know what to think of that man," observed one of the neighbors; "he is here to-day and gone to-morrow.

Pittston, Sept. 5,1861. • A sliort time ago I had occasion to le travelling some distance into the interior of New South Wales, in order to visit a friend whom I hud. not seen for many years. The evening before I expeoted to reach the dwelling of my friend, I put up at an inn on the road, where 1 remained during the night. , On the ensuiog morning, my first Care was to see that my horse was properly fed and ready for the long journey lie had before him. Having satisfied myself on t]his point, I returned to the house. I was much surprised, Upon arriving at the door, to find it ajar, as T distinctly remembered closing it, on account of leaving several valuable trinkets on the dressing table. Silently openieg it, I was amazed at perceiving the stranger whom I bad parties larly noticed the preceding evening, standing with his back to the door, and diligently engaged in withdrawing the contents of my traveling pistols. My first impulse was to fash forward and seize the fellow by the collar. A moment's consideration, however, determined me on following a different course. t!fcrrffolly placing the door in the same position that I found it, I retired, undiscovered, to the public sitting-room, where John Brown, with several of his neighbors, were conversing relative to the murder of the schoolmafter, an oacurrpuce of whicji they had just heard. Immediately afterwards the stranger pnteVed the room. " It appears to me, then," said I, after listening to" the details of'(he murder, " that traveling in these districts must be exceedingly dangerous. However, I have an exoeliitbt pair of and if any ooe interferes with me, 1 will give them a warm reception." " Yes," observed the stranger, "it would be stupid,, indeed for any man to ride through the bush, tu times like  without being well armed. ,1 hear, t6o, Donohue is somewhere near Patrick's Pluint.
