‘ Personal.—The .Brussels Post
publishes the following 'honorable
mention of one of Huron’s million--
a ires, whose, home is in Clinton,
where is how*, residing,-’from tlie
Daily British Whig of Jan. 15th :—
TIie Eirst Railroader—a survivor of
the tiines of George Stephenson, a
hale old gen'leman yet.—Joseph
Whitehead, of .Clinton,'the first mHn
to fire a railway locomotive,is’at the
Royal hotel, in Kingston. Mr,
Whitehead 'fa 1827 w^g oh the
engine bult by George Stephenson.
It was a ten ton machine, worked,
with a beam, and was altogether An
awkward lookfag affair. Last even
ing to many auditors Im related the
j>tory of his early life; and it was
• very fateresting, He is the sole
survivor of those who wore identified
with tjie operations and workings of
theTfrst locomotive, ...When the en*-.
gino would go into-.the ditch an old
gray.- horse wan secured to work a.'
cr^ne which lifted it on to the track
again. .He looks now with astonish
ment‘on tlie marvollous progress
made in railroading. At first 10
miles an hour was good wdrk ; re
cently he had ridden over A fond at
tho rata of 60 mileh «fa*hour. Then
a good wind would stop the trftin,
nriw it;wou!d require a terrifiri hur*
ricano to even reduce the spend, At
Chidage the first engine was Mffiown
along-side a leviathan of tbris.
The contrast was wonderful. l\Tr.

Bpoke about th® smell of coal oil.
On my ^suggestion Collier-went in
side where'the tire was and threw
some water on it.. He went through
the opening I had made in the ro<>f,.
but immediately camo out savins
he could not stay there "for the heat
aiid smoke. We then threw in
some water and saw that the fire
was extinguished, Went home and.
came "back after breakfast and.
found t^e shavings, (shavings pro
duced), saturated .with coal.oil. at
the place the fire had started. The
:ouly access to the place' where the
tire was is a “niauliole” in the ceil-
jng. I also got dry,, shavings be
tween the joist. Coal oil appears
to have soaked . through the ceiling.
The joist. Tor 7 or 8 feet from the
chimney towards the “manhole” are
blackened .by the fire. When I
showed Collier the "shavings and
traces of ' Co.al oil he offered no ex
planation ;.how they got there.
There was. no way of getting" to
where tfie fire started except though
the “manhole” in the ceiling. My
self and Mr. Leslie compared the
shavingR produced with (hose got
, by Collier’s boy at.the wagon shop,
and believe them.' to have been the
same. • • -
W. H.’Cooper said Mr. Paisley
asked him to go to Collier’s aiid ex
amine the place where the tire had
been,-and corroborated Mr, Paisley’s
evidence. ' ,
John Stewart, working at Leslie’s
wagon shop, agreed . aS . to the,
shavings got at the place of the fire
corrcRponding with those got by Col
lier’s boy. \ *
Mrs. Collier Raid she awoke Mr.
Collier when th® cry of “fire” was
raised <,a:iTd stAted that lio one ~bW
members of- her family stayed in
the house on the night in. question.,
Mr. Collier came to bed a^ half past,
eleven. The boy--got a few shav-
‘ ings the night previous to the fire.
Mr. Collier testified to. his wife
arousing "him from sleep. He at
once put op. his..pants *a.nd took'his
•coat and hat off the rack as he burs
ried : out. After going, out .and
handing water to Beattie he went
"^bHclcaiw}-|Hit’oiTi hislaTots; Did not
notice than anyone iiad^jot through
.i-he windows dr doors on the night
of the. tire.- There is no way of get
ting into the ioft except bv going
through-the billiard room which he
had chargb of. He liad $100 inRTir«.
ance on the;Iurniture. and $3QQJ,ti-
Rurqnce on the billittrd 'tables and
fixtures. Wa‘s understood f-o say
that the duly wav he could account
for oil being at the place of fiie wds
-that he had a’panorama ad veitisiiig.
sheet stored tip there for a few days
to dry, on which oil or-benzine had
been freshly put. Knew nothing as
as to how shavingR had'got there;
Ah 11 year’ old boy of Collier’s
saw .his Brother got shavings from
Leslie’s the night before the fire and
put their, under the. table up stairs.
Mr. Collier being recalled Raid
his1 landlord was Mr, Janies Miller
and they have-always been on good
termR. .
"The Buhstance of the finding of
the jury was, tllat the premises were
mali-iously. set on fire, but that-'
there was no evidence Jo show who
the guilty Darty.or parties were, .
We are inclehted to Mr. /W. H.

Incendiary Attempt.
About . 2’.o'clock Wednesday
morning, Feby. 4th, smoke was seen
to issue -from the premises occupied
by Mr. Collier,. a., poi tion of which
is used as a billiard hall. His fams
ily also reside upon the premises.
They are situated between Cunning
ham's corner grocery-and Kennedy’s
hotel, the centre of a-very inflatum*
able row of buildings. - Some young
men -who-had just returned from
Goderich gave the alarm and the
steamer was soon at work, but the
fire, fortunately, hqd not.made suffix
cient Headway to require very great
efforts to extinguish it. A pringent
smell of burning coal oil suggested
the idea ethat that liquid had- been
used to get up a blaze by .some per
son of incendiary instincts. An ex
amination of the location of the fire
by Inspector Paisley, revealed the
fact that, the tire had started in the
loft, or lo.W place between tbe ceil
ing and -the roof,, access to which
could only be had by a “riianhofa”
opening, about 15 inches* square.
Here also.were found shavings sat
urated, wit.h coal oil. .The tire ap
peared tcTliaVe started about fifteen
feet fro.m the chimney which was-
perfectly-secure. The smell of coal
.oil iu* the atmosphere during the
burning qf-the..‘dbfaze” having jpten-.
sified the acuteness of the olfuctbr
ies of'.Chief Paisley, he, during the-'
investigation>of the origin of” the
fire concluded that he smelt a “rat."
Tie gathered up some of' the p w ily
burned and.coal oil saturated shav
ings, and, having learned tliat a «u'ri
of the occupier of the premises h/nl
brought home shavings froiirLeslie’s
wagpn shop the previous .evening,.-
lie Cook "W.-H. Cooper witlr liim
and went?to- Mr. Leslie’s shop and
arrived, at the conclusion thaf the
shavinge used, in- what appeared an ■
incendiary attempt were identical
with those got by the )ad the eve
ning previous'to the fire.’ Who
placed them where ba found them,
was now the question. .

vious witnoss and stated that two

■three children and Mrs. Collier
came out apparently fully dressed,
;,wa9 not quite-certain that Mrs. CoK
lier was.
Alf. Dennis said he was in Beat
tie’s livery stable when his comrades'
shouted “fire.” He ran out and
the first, thing that greeted him was
a smell of coal oil. After finding
out where tbe fire was he ran up
Collier’s stairs and found-that gen.-
Hernan in the doorway with a bed
tick. >In About three minutes heard
Mrs. 0. ask, “where’s the Jbabyl”
Thought the folk? in the hduso bad
