THE ARsON CASE. -DEAR EXPOSITOR, -Allow us in the columns of your val- uable paper to contradict a statement which appeared in the Bluevale items of the Brussels Post regarding the Jackson vs. Saugeen Mutual Fire Insurance Company case. Thos. Jackson, son of A. Jackson, of Bluevale, was arrested and brought before Robert Miller, J. P., of Wroxeter, on Wednesday last, on a charge of arson, preferred by the San - pen Mutual Fire Insurance Company. In the first place, he says "A young man working for Jackson, sr." - Allow us to say it was not a young man, but an in- nocent boy, abaut 16 years of age, named Herbert Lightle'who was appreached by Thomas Jackson, according to evi- dence, and induced by the paltry con- sideration of $3 to assist him to bum an empty house in Gorrie owned by Jackson, sr., and insured in- the said company for $300; prevailing on the boy that the house would not sell for more than $200 and if burned a mild realize $300, in which he would participate in $100. After arriving on the spot, and Jackson, jr., applying the coal oil by his awn hand, urged the boy to strike the fatal match, which was refused, he struck the match and handed it to the boy, saying "The property is our own; we can do as we please. In the second place, he says the line of defence went to show that the Lightles and Jacksons had long been at feud, and the inference drawn was that the whole story was concocted, more especially an there was plenty of evidence to prove that at the hour of the fire on the 8th of July young Jackson was at home with his mother and sisters. Allow us to say, no sach inference was drawn, as the straight- forward evidence given by the boy and uncontradicted convinced all present, who were open to conviction, that the prisoner was guilty and deserved the punishment that Was infliCted ; and, in reference to the feud that existed be- tween the Lightles and Jacksons, the former certifies, that no ill -feeling exists whatever on his part. It was considered by all present that the house was burned purely for the insurance, and it would be very poor policy for the boy to -criminate himself to implicate young Jackson through any spite, if there was such. He further states that the trial lasted from 5 p. m. until 1 a. m., and the facts are -that the court was dismissed at 11.30 p. in. In reference to more light on the subject, there was sufficient to convict the pris- oner, and convince 99 per cent. of the audience present that Jackson, jr., was the guilty party.-WATeliaTAN. imeseaseesamemameleeseea cox az co_ Members Toronto Stock Exchange, 28 TORONTO ST., TORONTO.

Harvey_ & Wiley were on the war path, a,nd were doing what they considered surprisingly tall work. Your correspondent gave the number of acres threshed in a day at different places, but was careful not to give the number of bushels threshed in either of_ the places. He also thinks -alessi's. Harvey & Wiley have the best outfit of the season. He evidently has not heard of the prodigious feats of Itiessrs. Berry & Swin.erton in the threshing line, or he would forever after hold hia peace. Take one of the many examples of their day's work, and we find that last week they threshed for Mr. Frank Coleman 1,200 bushels of wheat in eleven hours. And if the number of acres a day is any test of a big day's work, we may also mention that a short time ago they started at Mrs. Ferguson's in the morning, and at noon they moved. to Mr. Ed. Troyer's, a distance of two miles, threshing in all 40 acres the same day. Seeing is be- lieving, and when the farmers see Messrs. Berry & Swinerton's machine in operation they conclude that it is sec- ond to none in the county, and that no other machine will thresh for them pro- ' vi.ded it can be obtained. -P. H. THE MARKETS.
