Up to Sunday night, the 8th Inst., flres had been raging through the towns of brussells, Union, Gardner, Forestville, Claybanks, Nesewau- pee, Sturgeon Bay and Sevastopol, burning fences aud timber; but leaving houses untouched. At nine o'clock on Sunday night a tornado of fire swept down from the southwest, beginning at Belgian settlement, in Brussels, sweeping through the towns of Union and Gardner, the western part of Sevas- topol, and down the east shore of the bay, consum- ing every building in its path. At Williamson's shingle mill everything was burned, and the most awful desiraction of haman life ensued. Ou of eighty ns at the mill fifty-seven were burned todeath. The few survivors tell horrible tales of the scene, After the fire forty-five bodies were found in a potato patch in the centre of a ciearing. Others were found scattered in various places, some in wells, Many were disfigured in a terrible manner, and in some cases beyond recognition. ‘This great destruction was the work of but fifteen Minutes, and was the same tornado that burned Peshtego and 1,200 human beings, A number of Other losses of lifa are reporied in otter places, Twenty-two were burned at Brussels, There 13 searcely a house or barn stand:ng in the line of this storm of fire.

Trial of Elder Hawkins—Empanelling of the Jury—A Mormon Juror Rejected— Several Saints Arrested. Sarr Laxe O:ty, Utah, Oct. 19, 1871. After two days of hair-splitting arguments on the the Hawkins adul- iar cass a Saaplatl ALAPAAOOR: One of tho Jurors empanelied, named Naylor, proved to be & good Mormon, who believed a revelation trom God under which fiéf may rightfully have more than one woman to live and cohabit witn as wives at the same time, and that 1¢ woula not be just and right to convict such a man of adultery tor sach Conduct. Upon this exposition of views, which it required at least half an hour to pump out, Ohief Justice McKeon said, “As a jndicial oMcer I cannot take cognizance of any such alleged revelation from God. Lam governed by tne written law. ‘Ihe juror says I understand him correctly, and with that un- derstanding [ mast hold that in this case he is not a proper juror.” The defendant's counsel excepted. The ruling prevents any Mormon from sitting on @ jury before whom any case of adultery or lascivious conduct may come. This will embrace the case of Brigham Young, Daniel H. Wells, Conlor, editor of the News, Lawrence and others now under indictment. ‘Ihe ruling of the Coart has brought out a flerce ic from the minor organ of the Mormons, the Hera’d, which denounces the act a8 @ judicial outrage and accuses the government of packing the juries, of riding roughshod over very rule of law for the purpose of extirpating polygamy and punishing the crime by implication. The Mormon organ desires to have a jury of polygamists to try the crime of polygamy. The Court does not concur, and hence the trouble, After empanelling the Jury a long argament was had between cuunsel as to the competency of Mrs. Hawkins under the common law to testify against her husband. Mrs. Hawkins was the only com- plainant who, under the Territorial stataes passed by the Mormon Legislature, could make complaint against her husband for adultery. fhe defence held the act illegal, and reliea on the common law to prevent the wife’s appearance on the stand, The prosecution argued that the statute made her a witness, and the Court admitted her testimony and exceptions taken. Mrs. Hawkins ‘Was then examined and generally testified to the several occurrences of the acts of adultery alleged against her husband, The defence began the cross- examination, which was not concluded when the Court adjourned, and the object of whick had not become apparent, Tne Court ordered the jury to be Kept togther in charge of the deputy marshals, in order to prevent any communication with the world, The case is likely to continue several days.

Here, im ‘this almost absolute wilderness—on the shores of the St. Croix, the dividing line of the provinces and the States—bave been assembled to-day the chief magistrates of tho two nations and thousands of other notabilities of less distinction, but all rejoicing over the completion of the great international throughfare, and hoping that it will prove an additional bond of union between the istinctive classes whose commercial and social interests are identical. After a refreshing night’s slumber the party—numbering some six hundred or more—ivft Bangor in a special train for Vanceboro, where arrangements jor the formal opening exercises had been arranged. Besides President Grant there were in the party Secretaries Creswell, Robeson and Belknap of the Cabinet; and of the Britisn government there were Lord Lisgar, the Governor General, and other Dominion dignitaries. Arriving at the point of destination the Bangor party were met by a concourse of four or five hundred, who nad come from St, John, and all united in one common international thrang and proceeded to & mammoth tont near the depot, Where the formal and social exercises of the occa- sion Were indulged in. A magnificent banquet was first mm order, and then came in turn round after round of speeches from the various representative gentiemen present. THE BALI. After the repast the tent was thrown open to all who wished and could gain admission, and probably Not leas than four thousand were crowded under the canvas to listen to and witness the informal aad general exercises, Mr. Jewett, President of the Eu- ropean and North American Ratiway, presided at the head of the table, and on his right was seated General Grant and on his left Lord Lisgar, Chief Magistrate of the Dominion of Canada. The repre- sentative flags of the two nations were everywhere Pleasantly blended, and the bands present vied with each other in mixing up the alrs of ‘God Save the Queen” and ‘*Yankee Doodle” in a manner that was no less really impressive than it was seemingly 1u- dicrous, “The United States” was the first senti- ment given, and General Grant had to undergo the painful ordeal of responding. Mr. Jewett, in offer- tog tne sentiment, alluded, briefly to the importance and usefulness of the new. imternational thoroughfare wnich they had just completed. The citet advantage was the preliminary step towards placing Europe and America twenty-four or thirty- six hours nearer each other, When General Grant arose to respond the cheers which greeted him were amost deafening and it seemed as if they would never fish, REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT. ‘The Presiveat addressed the muititude as ‘fellow citizens and citizens of the British provinces,” and then went on to say that it wes plessany 4 for him be here on this occasion. occasion which, he was free to say, could be better cele- brated by speeches from men much more capable than hinseif. Hg then simply added KF w wy Frahying for him to £4, ‘he people WO greal jationalities meeting {n such pleasant communion, and he hoped from the bottom of his heart that nothing would ever occur to distarb the imendiy feeungs waich seemed to animate all those around him. Another and another round of cheers fol- lowed, isgar was next called upon, and, like ail the speeches of the day, was received with Voculerous applwuse. 3 LUED LISGAR’S SPERCH. He accepted the compliment, he said, not as one addresse1 personally to nim, but as impliedly # recognitton of the virtues of the Queen whom he ‘was proud (o represent. ‘The presence of the Com- teanders in-Chief of the two countries conferred upon this the character of an _ international festival. The provinces of the Dominion and the United States are now more thau ever united closely tm the bonds of good feeling and netghborly intercourse, and “I pray God that these bonds.may never de broken.” He paid @ high compliment to the President, mentioning agein the quotation “Let us have peace,” at which Grant at- tempted a smile. On the subject of THE WASHINGTON TREATY, to which allusion was made yesterday, Lord Lisgar was somewhat diffuse, although he was governed by the advice of his Privy Council in the matter, and could not, therefore, speak authoritatively, Lord Lisgar would say that ne cordially approved the provisions of what he termed the greatest wocument of the age. He did not doubt but that the Dominion Parliament would consider the subject in an international ag weil a8 provincial ight and do joste to all con- cerned. (Cheers.) Nelther England nor America want material assistance irom each other, but both need mutual sympathy aud moral support in the progress of human improvement. ‘*Tue animosities of the past are dying out,’ said Lord Lisgar, ‘for the foreign policy of the British government of 1871, under Mr. Gladstone, 18 not narrow-minded and oligarchical like that of tne government of 1771, under the rule of George the Third, 1ts work is weil exemplitied im the treaty just concluded, which wilt live mm history so long a8 mind is reckoned superior to brute force.”” ‘The Governor General then made a bow and sat down amit great and tumultuous cheering, during = —_ which General Grant quietly lighted a cigar, produced from his own yest weket. The other sentiments as they came in regu- lar order were responded to by Lieutenant Governor Wuimot, of New srunswick, who was alternately homovrous and impressive in his aliusions to the event; Governor Perham, of Maine, who was also inspired with a flue vein of droll humor, but who wound up with an eloquent allusion to the event which they were ceievrating. Hon, Mr. Annand, President of the Executive Council of the New Do- minion; Hon, 8. 1. Lilly, Minister of Customs; Mr. W. Emery, of Ma-suchusetis, and ex-Governor De: nison, of Ohio, made speeches. Besides these speakers there were also some terse and pointed REMARKS BY POSTMASTER GENERAL CRK3 WELL, who was called out to respond to iis bureau. He said that as soon as he got back to Washington he would arrange to have the European and Dominion mails transported over the new thoroughfare at once, and that as soon as possible he would furnish them With postal cars and other facilities equal to the best in the United States, He believed that the enie: prise just complevei had po the means or establishing universal peace and friendship between the nations, and that tere would be no more Treut aifatrs, no more fishery Mg gg ane and no more crazy Fenian raids across the border. As for the fishery complications, he himself would go without fish all the days of his life if he thought it would promote friendly relations between the two countries. He didn’t know that Ben Bauer would do this, for he had ‘the fisheries’’ baa, but he would content himseif with living on mush and mojasses for the sake of international peace and friendship. In concluding, the Postmaster General repeated his promise to establish the mails on the new road without any unnecessary delay, Dr. George B, Loring, of Massacnusétts, one of the recent gavernsroral cagdidates, was called upon to respond to @ hationai sentiment, but he conti ed hinsett wholly to the glorification of Mas- sachtsetis and Massachusetts institutions, so tar forgetting himself as to make some Allusions to Buuker Hill and Lexington and Concord, which should have been most certainly omitted. His re- marks have since been freely criticised and aimost universally condemned, ING INCIDENT aS occurred during the ches, There were a few women present, natives of the country hereabouts, aboriginal in form, dreas and feature, They were determined to see the show, and, babies in arms, crowded around the longest tavies in reckless disre- ard of What are generally calied the proprieties of ite.
