During the winter of 1888, a gunner named James Francis Ryan, known as Parnell Ryan, deserted from "A" Field Battery, going across the border. In the month of May in that year he arrived in Clayton [N.Y.], where he intended shipping aboard a steamer which was expected to arrive from Kingston. Before the steamer arrived, however, Ryan changed his mind about going sailing and engaged with a man named B. Cantwell.
The last named had as a domestic Miss Gertrude Duford. One day shortly after engaging with Cantwell, Ryan took advantage of the family's absence, leaving Miss Duford alone in the house, to criminally assault her.
He fled from Clayton immediately, taking a small boat and rowing up the river for about three miles and finding employment with a farmer. Constables Pelo and Denny, of Clayton, learning of Ryan's whereabouts, went to arrest him. He jumped from a window, took a skiff and rowed away towards Round Island. For two days the constables chased Ryan, at length locating him at a dwelling on Wolfe Island. Ryan refused to surrender and attempted to elude his pursuers, who chased him down with drawn revolvers.
He took refuge in a farm house, gaining entrance through a window. After a vigilance of several hours, the constables induced Ryan to accompany them back to Clayton.
Ryan was tried at Watertown, entering a plea of not guilty and also one of insanity. A commission reported, after investigation, that Ryan was perfectly sane, and he was given a sentence of nineteen years of hard labor at Auburn prison. So violent did he later become that it was found necessary to move him, and on Friday he was taken to Mattewan mad house, where he was consigned to a padded cell, where he will spend the remainder of his miserable existence, a violent, raving maniac.

The Rev. Henry Sharpe, B.D.,
died on Sunday last at Trinity Vicarage, Hampstead, after a painful illness, at the age of 67. He studied for the ministry at St. Aidan's College, and was ordained by Bishop Davys of Peterborough, in 1856. Having received priest's orders, Mr. Sharpe went out to Canada as incumbent of Holy Trintiy, Wolfe's Island, Ontario where he worked from 1858 to 1864, afterwards returning for a short time ot his former parish in Peterborough. IN 1865 he accepted an offer of work under the London Diocesan Home Mission, whose committes act him to work in the neighbourhood of the Metropolitan Railway works near Finchley-road. Here he laboured among the Navvies employed on the construction of the line. When residences began to rise round the new station, Mr. Sharpe remained, and a temporary building was erected in Hampstead Fields, which answered the purpose till 1872. In that year Trinity Church, which his congregation and friends had build for him, was opened for service, and a district was assigned to it. Mr. Sharpe had thus been its vicar for 28 years and had kept together a large and devoted congregation. The Servies were of the simplest Evangelical type, and the black gown was worn in the pulpit. THe church gave generous support to the great Evangelical societies, and Mr. Sharpe was an active member o the committees of several of them. He took a keen part in the active efforts of the Church Association. Two of his sons are clergymen, one being vicar of Newport, Isle of Wight, and the other being his father's near neighbor as vicar of Emmanuel Church, West-end, Hampstead.

Death Of Mr. Grant Allen.
Image
We regret to announce the death, at Hindhead, yesterday, of Mr. Grant Allen, in the 52nd year of his age. Our regret will be shared by his many personal friends, and by the far larger multitude of his readers in all parts of the world. Never very robust, though of late years apparently more equal to sustained literary exertion than he had been in earlier life, he had crowded into 25 years or so more work than most writers would care to undertake within a much longer period. His health failed some time ago, and a painful and fatal internal malady developed itself during the closing weeks of his life.
Grant Allen was born in February, 1848, the son of the Rev. J.A. Allen, incumbent of Holy Trinity, Wolfe Island, Canada. After passing his childhood in Canada, he was educated partly in the United States, partly in France and then at King Edward's School, Birmingham. Thence he enetered MErton College, Oxford, and took his B.A. degree (1st class in Moderation, 2nd class in Literis Humanioribus) in 1870. Not long afterwards he married, his wife being a Miss Jerrard, of Lyme Regis, and spent the next few years of his life in Jamaica, where he held an appointment as Principal of a College founded by the Colonial Government for the higher education of the negro. The college had a very short life.

In Memoriam
Late Patrick McAvoy, Wolfe Island.

The death of Mr. McAvoy, on Thursday, 20th ultimo, would under any circumstances cause much regret, but coming after so brief an illness and the loss of a beloved daughter (Mrs. McGrath), brings deep grief to a bereaved wife and family, and creates very general sympathy and sorrow. To his own he was ever kind and provident, and was by friends highly esteemed. In the congregation of St. Mary�s his familiar presence will long be missed and his memory revered. His funeral on Saturday, 22nd was very largely attended, the remains, after a solemn requiem by Father Spratt, being placed in the Catholic vault besides those of his favorite child, six of deceased�s nephews acting as pallbearers. On the following Sunday, Fr. Spratt feelingly spoke of the loss paying a tribute to the memory of deceased, particularly referring to his charitable disposition throughout an exemplary life, and trusted that the fruits of his life and example would be long felt. The sentiments of sorrow and words of praise were echoed in the hearts of all who heard them. Mr. McAvoy was in his 65th year, and had been lighthouse-keeper at Knapp�s point for many years, where many sportsmen and others who have enjoyed his kindness and hospitality will miss his genial presence.
