It missdisiuterred in his presence, and on exatitinAtion, Obverahleep wounds were dim covered on the back of the heed, any one of which4ffle doctor reported, would have been sufficient to mime his death. Coupled with the fact that,tho clothes had been plundered no rensonatle doubt could remain that a murder had been committed. It was well known in the island that. McDonald, who had !vide considerable , nuay,'Carried his fortune on his back- hanks and stock beifig unknown institutions to those primitive peo ple. rtutOor many days allthe ingenuity of ilielaw was baffled to obtain any tchce of the murderer. No one had been seen with McDonald after he left Assynt ; no articiouf any kind could be identified as his proper- . ty. The Reach appeared fruitless. Several murders, however, had been recently com mitted in the northsru counties; they had remained unpunished ; it was, therefore, a matter of much public -imPortanentliiii. • • this cast. an ex t inple should be made. The sheriff estanlin d himself en permanence at a roadside host,Dl in the vicinity, and an nounced his determination to examine every resident in the island. During these investigations the sheriff wait invariably accompanied by Ca Flu). through. his acquaintance with thmflina lic tongue, and his knowledge of the inhab tants, proved of groat assistance as an in terpreter. One morning however, the slier- ifF went down to the district Post Office *done, Cameron being fur the first time ab sent. During tt desultory conversation, the post master incidentally stated that soon after the date of the murder he had given change for a £lO Bank of' England note to a person who ho did not think should have hod so ankh money in his possession. Who was this i J'ohis CciiThron, the schoolmas ter. Cameron was sent for, was asked how he had come to have the money in question, and peremptorily denied any k9owledge of the transaction. Ills statement, though made without apparent e mba ras sin (int. ex- ited suspicion, laud ho was arrested, charged With the murder. 'For some time, however, no facts appear ed to confirm the suspicion. Cameron's beam, which stood on • hill side by itself, was minutely searched, but none of the peddler's property was found in it. Ilk sister, who lived with hilit„..sessuridt.titt.Y perfectly Ignorant and innocent. She WIN n young and pretty girl, and, for her station iu lifb, intelligent and cultivated. Whin told of the charge, she indignantly refused to believe that her brother . was guilty, and in deep distress followed him to prison One or two casual incidents, however, to which she alluded, proved of unhappy im portance on the trial. Even then, however, though well aware of the fatal effect of her answers, she spoke fearlessly and truth fully—with Spartan like honesty metingout her brother's doota. A fearful diletutna, indeed—one where even falsehood cannot be rikorouitly judged. but where stern arid rigid truth cannot be too highly esteemed. A noble Ilighland heroine, with her blood less lips and white, tearless face—all honor to the gentle womanhood that is yet too no ble in its maiden honesty for a lie ! Cameron, though unable to account satis factorily for the money, was on the point of being liberated, when tillingular incident oepurred, A workinan,llleLeod by name, had on three succexaive occasions, dreamed 1 that he had seen Cameron follow McDonald to the water side, strike him a number of heavy blows with a hammer, ritle.his pack, cast the body into the tarn, and conceal the articles ho liiiirSken in a caird near 4litt own house. The story was soon bruited about, and the dreanier'was brought before the sheriff. Flo strong and vivid, he said, was his recollection of the incidents of the dream, gat, he could undertake to point'out to the criminal *nicer the exactigoors under I which the property was concealed They want together, and ultimately discovered the articles in question concealed under sew era( large stories, which McLeod declared exactly resembled' those impressed on his memory. Here was an important fact to begin witl4—the property of the murdered man found ivv-the immediate) proximity of Cameron's own house. Next day another link was obtatned. A week or two previous to his apprehension, Camera!-walked one rainy morning to the other Ride of the island got wet, and at a country inn obtained from the landlady a pair of stockings, leaving his own behind to be dried. These were now produced, and after sorwe*hesitation, a cot ter's wife threlared that, from a peculiarity in the work, sho_eould deism, that they weite of her own 'tinkling; and added, that the day before his disappearance, the peddler had bought two pairs from lice for his own use. That now produced was one of them : the other was discovered in Cameron's house. A variety of similar circumstances gradually came out ; and lifter considerable delay, occasioned ry' - are difileultiao—ef—She case, Cameron was brought to trial. Thu trial took place At Inverness.

The verdict had been recorded, and sent9co of death pronoanced, when Cameron (Who preserved , throughout the trial the most profound composure) rose, and with the utmost solemnity and calmness calla!

The sheriff— to whose exertions, the sne cese of the prosecution was mainly to be attributed—was trucking his w:ty to hie hotel through the excited, crowd, when a message camelo him • Tr , prui-Carmwort, requesting to see him.

The murder, he said, 4 1c115 committed on the night of the Assynt wedding:" He had seen Mrienodald leave : had followed him unobserved ; had made up to him, and walked along with Mtn to thourn ; then, with a heavy hammer which he n as carrying home, he' had struck him sevral Mons from . behind, and, after rifling the corpse, had thrown it into the water. For iomo weeks it had remained at the bottom--at least, lie could see nothing of it, and he had gone_otwe or twice every week to look for it. The evidence of McLeod surprised and startled him. The properly had been hidden the same night—a dark, wet, misty night—immediately on him return (tome ; and it was impossible, ho thought, that McLeod, with whom he vies men ly cc qt tinted, could have come by hie inf,rma tion in anynatural way.
