‘* The Cansdian newspapers say that Great Britain is behind Canada. In one sense that is trne, but not in the sense of protection and defence. The strength of Great britain is claimed, and justly, to reside in her naval armament; but from November to May of each year, neither a British gunboat nor an irouclad frigate could effectively get into Canada, or out again, ifthey were. The ice would make her stop for that time, as idle as a printed ship upon a printed ocean,—haridlly ag effective as a sand fort for any warlike purpose, because not in the right piace. And there is scareely a possibility during the severe Canadian winter mouths of any body of British troops reaching the capital of Can- ada. . « « In the winter, when the British troops could not aid Canada, the fros forms bridges over which American troops can pour to any indicated point.

nonsense was in- duced to publish such stuff is wonderful. General Butler is evidently ignorant of the fact (hat Halifax and St. John are both opes throughout the winter season, and we have railways to carry troops ali slong the frontier from one side of Canada to the other. Weshould pity the army which woald attempt to take Canada dur- ing the months of December, January, February and March. it seems to us that the problem to be solved in the event of war between Canada and the United States would be this:

The witness thought

Mr. McGregor had retired for the night,

land told the man sv, and he left the house.

Upon Mr. MeGregor’s coming into the room a few minutes later witness told him the man had called and he (McGregor) went to the door to see if he could find him, bat failed to do so. The man did not appear to be intoxicated.

Captain Richard Moran stated that about half-past six o’clock yesterday morn- ing he was walking down Peake’s No. 3 wharf to his schooner and saw the body in the water on the opposite side of the dock near Queen’s Wharf. The man was lying on his back in about 18 inches of water, with his feet sticking in the mud. His head pointed towards the channel. Wit- ness gave the alarm and roused up two of his seaman, who assisted to lift the body up onthe wharf. The mud at the place where the body was found, though some- what sticky, would fot, he thought, pre- vent a person’s walking through it at low water. The deceased's pants and cvats were open. He did not notice any marks of violence on the body. When the tide is is high as it is to-day (Sunday) there would be some nine or ten feet of water at the place where the body was found. The tide would be high about eleven o’clock on Saturday night.

Sitoon Burke and James Brown, two seamen on Capt. Moran’s schooner, cor- roborated the captain’s evidence, and add- ‘d that they did not hear any noises during the night. Their schooner was mvored in the same dock and opposite where the body was found. They slept on board all night.

Sergt. Bradley testified that he saw the body about 6.45, lying on the wharf. The two coats the deceased wore and his pants were open. His hat was missing. He searched the pocket and found a watch chain, key, knife, and 81.09 in cash. The deceased has been living at Alberton lately, but has been in town since Tuesday. He lias relatives in the city.

This closed the evidence, and after a hort deliberation a verdict of ** found lrowned ” was returned.

Sunday Morning’s Blaze. THE STABLES AND

MESSRS. BLAKE BROS, AND TEE OS-

LORNE HOUSE COACH HOUSE AND STABLE

BADLY DAMAGED—TWO VALUABLE IORSES

PEXISU —A BRAVE WOMAN—THE (|NSUR-

ANCE.

Anovrt half-past four o’clock on Sanday morning, Mr. C. V. McGregor, the Msborne House, smelled smoke and arose from bed te ascertain the cause, Ca pull- ing aside the curtain and looking out through the window, he saw smoke sung .rom the stable of Messrs. Blake Bros., on King Street. He ran down. stairs ‘o the telephone, but after making seversl un- successful efforts to get the central office yave up in disgustt, and going outside dalled ‘fire’ as loudly as he could. the flames had broken out through the building and were being communicated to the Osborne House stables and ceach- house adjoining.

Mr. and Mrs. Blake heard the horses prancing in the stable about the same time, and Mrs. Blake raised the bedroom window to see if there was any ferson about. She at once saw that the stable was on fire. The household was immediately alarmed and as quickly as possible Mr, Blake, the servant men and herself were outside.

In the stable were four horses—one a special favorite of Mrs. Blake's— and two cows, The fire was burning briskly around the stalls, and the building was full of smeke. The horses were snorting and prancing about the stables in great agony. Mrs. Blake at once rushed into tue stable after her horse. She was quick- ly driven back by the smoke and flames. Nothing daunted, she tried again, but the same result attended her hervic effort. After recovering her breath she rushed in a third time, and throwing down the bars of the box stall in which her favorite was fast- ened, Jed him out to the door, through the blinding smoke, on to the street, where she released him. Two of the horses were taken out and one was burnt to death. One of the horses was so badly burnt that he had to be shota short time after being rescued,

The engines and hook and ladder com- pany were on the ground as soon as_ pos- sible, and did good work. The men did very effective vork in preventing the flames from spreading in an easterly diree- tion. The Osborne House coach-house and stables were on fire fur over an hour, but the heroic efforts of the pipe men of both engine companies saved the buildings from destruction.

From Blake’s stable the flames communi- cated to the slaughter-house at the South, aad burnt it pretty badly.

The dampness of the night and the effee- tive work of the firemen prevented the further spread of the flames, and by seven o'clock the fire was practically extinguished. The stable of Blake Bros. is almost totaliy destroyed, and the slaughter-house is badly used up. A large quantity of hides and skins, stored in the slaughter- house, was badly damaged, and several sets cf harness, about eight tons of hay and straw, and all the stable implements and fixtuyes were destroyed. The two horses lost were nice animals, worth abuut $350. The buildings and hides were insured jo one of the companies represented by Me. John Maceachern, for a sum sufficient to cover losses; the horses, hay, harness, etc., were not insured

The alarm was not sounded till about five o'clock, although the fire was discovered about half-past four, as above stated. This morning the Stipendiary Magistrate held an investigation into the cause of the He found that the officers had been busily engaged in the early part of the night, and that, becoming tired, they were not on duty on the streets after half-past three in the morning. He fined Sergeant Bradley $30, aud «ftivers Taylor and Doyle $5 each. Nothing is known as to the origin of the tire. Some people thiak that it was caused by some vagrant sleeping in the stable, others that some passer-by unthinkingly threw alighted match or cigar through one of the windows.

The firemen were entertained at lunch at the Osborne after the fire.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Paternity of Prize Winners. Sir,—In reading your issue of the 4th inst., one would think Barrister sired all the prize winners in the cart class. Let us examine and see.

First, Cart Stallions under three years, we find: Ist, St. Dunstan’s College; 2nd, L. W. P. Balderston. Both these are sired by the Percheron horse Duroc.

Second Class, under two years old—3rd, Wim. Smith’s, from Duroc,

Cart Filies, under three years old—Ist, Richard Stockman’s Filly, by Sunk Island Hero.

General Purpose Fillies—1st, Matthew Smith’s; 3rd, Mrs. Owen Connoilv’s. Both of these are by Duroc.

in those classes, which were the only classes Duroe stock could compete (as two years old was his oldest colts), he has taken five out of nine prizes, and Sunk Island Hero at least one, which would leave only three to Barrister, even if he touk all the baiunce, which I question. 1 don’t think any man on the ground would say he ever saw two better stallions, or their equals, under three years of age shown un the Island than St. Dunstan’s College colt, weight 1622 lbs., and Mr. Balderston’s, 1695 lbs.

1 think the fair way to put these prizes before the public is to state what horse the different animal is from, and not generalize. B. Hearrz,

[ Mr. Heartz’s charge is not well founded.
