Tho c-Jiusci of tho uhirui was immediately oxplain- ed by his information and the sight of; the burning house about one hundred and fifty :yfmln distant. Tl (r excited man related that he had made his escape from tho iiro in that condition, and tho tirst.iir- rived atfthe burning ruin's had tho eviiloneo conlirmed in a short -time that, the woman had indeed fallen a victim to the lire. They ipienehed the (lames, and proceeded to the work of gathering out what remained ofjlie body. The legs were burnt oil' tit above the knees ; one hand was found nearly" entire, but the arms were failed oil" and the head also, vNvJiieh jir.tim search .could'not be foHmd at all. . Wht\u the spectators h"iul recovered fnun the horror of the event,, aud began to speculate oirjhe cii-cumst^Lnces, they felt: the>e was more than accident . iii the event jthat had U'rmiuated so fatal ly. It was remembered that the snr- j-vivor, Waril, had manifested some ycav-s ago certain indications of un- sound mind,,and it was remarked froni or.t neighbor to another that iiisj conduct" to tho wifo of a few montshs h:id not been uniformly I kind.

Mr. Thomas Sander son, postmaster in tho village, as-' sisted by tw.o neighbors, .had made the exhuni-itioti of the remains from tho \smonlde.rihg' heap,- and found fresh matcrhd for suspicion.

Tliomas Henry, sworn, said - About threo o'clock I went down to tho rellur to st'o a buiullo of feathers.that were not burnt, and I found, them sticking together with blood, us I supposed ; I to.ok them up to Mr, Davis. 1 lived, with Ward about tivo months and' .lln'iv was bad feeling shown ; hi! was all the tiijio flogging and snap ping'at her;! she appeared to be afraid of him;; I never saW'-hiui strike her : he had a fashion of getting up in the night and going tlirough'the house with a lamp; sometimes they slept apart. Mary Morrison, sworn I am tweUe years old.; '1 lived with Mr. Ward from about two weeks after they were married, till three weeks mjo, when she went away from him . I have seen quarrels, and I have' seen him strike her ; she used to slap him, too, but it-was in fun ; Mrs. Ward told me she' was going to leave him, for he abused her; her earn were black when he pulled them -y be threatened to-kill us ono night because she would not give up the watch. It was now about four o'clock in the afternoon, and .the Coroner de- teimined to adjourn the inquest. It had been tlu;-desire of many of tho jurors, who nearly jail resided in the vicinit}' of the scene of the tire, that they should hear Ward's evidence. Tho ; Coroner appeared to yield to tho wish, and as it also happened that Ward was unable or disinclined'to attend on this occas ion', there was the more reason for adjournment. The adjourned inquest was -held on.Saturday, at the house of Mr. Edward Ward, Senr., tho father of Christopher Ward. The state of public opinion, Weighing horribly against Christopher .Ward,'had not suffered any abatement; and the evidence of persons who had a more intimato -knowledge of the domes tic relations of his .household, tend ing to strengthen the impression that a horrible crime had boon com mitted before the house was burned. Christopher Ward's own statement, I that the lamp had been lit,iind that there had been an altercation about three o'clock in the nforning, taken in connection With the statement of the deceased woman tht ho had threatened to take her life, seemed to point to tbo perjretration of a crime. The suspected man Las been living at his. father's since Thursday, and was present during, the hearing of evidence. Ho pre sented a strange spectacle : his face being swollen and blistered with burns, one arm also.being in a band age, and it is said ho had been burn- looed that the house was on fire ; 11 ed about tho body. But.it was ob. looked out and sa\j- that the [house J sfrved ydh_sonre cuno.srty that, al- nnd only tho seventh Horyrcal vorto- bra.

Cliristo]iher Ward,remarked hero that ho could not tell why hit) wife' had put the two -buffalo robes on- tho bed jthat night. She had never iloiru no,before, l.'lui 'medical men examirietl tfii- pieces of clothing mentioned as having be(:ii jiicked up out of lITo cellar, and stated that tho'stains wt'i'i) blood, ami tho cohesive ma terial on the feathers was of the same substance. \\y a juror Would such a quan tity] of blood as you saw ti likely |o flow' from a body burning like this! Both doctors said distinctly, rib. A juror--ls it likely that 'theJ head would lie consumed and those portions of the body left? . ' It was answered that -there was no reason for such a cireuinstande. In answer to William Ward, it was stated that excessive heat would assuredly burn the skull to a crisp. It was stated by u person .who was not a witness that a search had been made on the premises for this portion of the body, but it had nut been'found,, nor any portion of tin; jaw or leetb among the rubbish in. the cellar. There was no variana; in tin; evidence. The-evidenco-was all heard, and tho jury were left, to determine a. verdict, at half-past..eight. They w'ero out about half an hour, and returned with a finding that the deceased. Mary Ward came to her death by the act of K*r husband, Christopher Ward. An order was made for his arrest and comm'it- ment, all if he: was taken to Bramp ton Gaol, where he will lio await ing trial at the approaching assizes in May.
