The Court resumed at the usual hour,
and several witnesses were examined.
The evidence, however, Was only eon,.
tirmatory of that given previously. it
showed that the defendant had frequent-
ly and to different persons, used. threats
to burn her own premises that she might
revenge herself on her neighbers. It
also farther shown that the deteadant
had long borne a distepatable character,
aud that her house was a resort fot labaa-
daned characters After considering the
evidence the court concluded to commit
the a.ccused for trial at the next compe-
terit court. She was accordingly convey- '
ed to Goderich jail on Thursday.
The excitement during the trial waa
moat intense, and at each sitting of the
court the hall vtas crowded.
MRS. GRIFFITH' STATEMENT.
Mrs. Griffith, the acoused person sta tea
that she did not have a fire lighteciin her
house since Sanclay morning. That She
was from home during the day visiting,
friends, and. only returned about 9 o'clock
Sunday evening, She lit her lamp, ancl,
in accordance with. 4r Usual custom, left
it burning on a stencil near the wan ha the
kitchen, or most eatterly room of the
bnilding. She thea undressed herself
and retired to rest on -a-sofa in the cen.
tral room, which is between the kitcheu
in the rear and the shop in front. She
says that for several months she had been
in the habit of making her bed on tiie.

room. After retiring he slept souudly
until awakened by smoke, ichieh waft
suffocating lien When she awoke the
roora was tilled with smoke, and she im-
mediately sprang up and opened- a- door
leading to the kitchen where she left the -
lamp, and was met as soon as she opened
the door with a volume of flame and
smoke. She then. opened the door lead -
Mg to an alleyway which ran alongside
her building and cried for help. She
then proceeded threugh her shoo and
opened the street door and. again
cried for assistance and gave the alarm
of fire. Not seeing any person on the
street, she ran back into the room where
she had been sleeping, seized the clothes.

them to the street, when she again re-
turnecl to try and. get other articles, and
the thing which camel first to her hands
was a bas-ket containing game clothing
which had come from her washerwom,an
on Saturday -night. The the bad, by
this time, gained such headway that she
could not again enter the burning build- '
inv., and she says she did not 'melee any
person on the Street until she came out

Whitney. She strongly affirms that she
was under the impression her insurance
had, expired, and that she had not renew-

The Premier on Public Ques-
tions.
On Friday last Hon. Alexander Mc
Kenzie delivered apolitical address to his
constitnents at Watford, in the Count
of Lainbton. The Hon. Premier spoke
for over three hours toan audience o
about 1,500. The following is a synop
• sis of his views on the principal topics o
public interest :
HIS DEFENCE OF HIS COLLEAGUES.
Sir John Macdonald is the leader of
the Conservative party, and therefore
occupies 0.!! high position. Out of his
deep respect for that position Mr. MacJ
keiazie felt compelled to notice some o
his speeches. In one speech he says that
Mr. Mckenzie, Mr. Cartwright, and Mr.
Blake were ablci men, but elsewhere an
often he speaks in depreciatory terms o
theta. Mi. Macdougall said the other da
that it was quitc impossible for a man'tvh

to become fit for the office of Premier o
Canada. In spite of this he (Mr. Mac-
kenzie) could not feel ashamed Of his
"miscoaduct" in having been know
among them as a farmer and then a build
er. It' was the first tirae that he had
known an ex -P emier or an ex -Minister
in Canada to p opound Or endorse' th
idea that it wa a shame to earn a livi
by honest lab r. He could not repl
that it was a sitame to the country for
genius like Maddougall not to be a re

Macdonald. not to be the !governor. 11

prepared to offer. It was expected this
fa4 to have a complete profile lodged in
th O Government offices, where already
can be consulted a profile of a great part
of the route. The Act of .1874 provides
for the payment of $10,000 cash per mile,
and 20,000 acres of land per mile, and if
that does not suffice to build any section,
interest will be paid on an amount to be
agteed upon. Favorable offers are hoped
for to build parts of the road, and if a
co pany takes the whole line the rails
an work already done will be deducted
fram the contract. The policy of the
Gavernment is not to satisfy Columbia
byithe ruin of all thereat of the country.
MI the same time there is an honest en-
deavor to carry eut all that can be carried
opt of -the Carnatvon terms.
THE STEEL RAIL FURCHASE.
With respect to steel rails he could_
say that all the contracts were approved
by Parliament, and not a dollar was
spent until the House had passed npon
it In the debate in Parliament there
hid been a complete failure to establish
y impropriety. Tenders were adver-
ed for, and in every case the lowest
es were taken. Merchants, like Mr.
hn Macdonald., of Toronto, say tha,t
t e purchase was a great mercantile
s ccess. The last 7,000 tons that were
bOught by the old Government for the
Intercolonial,cost $85 per ton; they were
b ught without tenders, and from- a party
w o had no right to be a contractor. His
o npurchase of steel rails was not made
one day too soon. With all the ,extiedi-
the 1
ti n possible, he has only got between
6,000 and. 7,000 tons to Red River, Kincardine last week with 975 tons of
