a portion OF the Falls Of st. Anthony, and had i'm.
proye,nents made upon the same by the Government,
and were much more valuable than any part OF the
present reservation. We also collected such informa.
tion In regard TO the sales Of other reservations as
our time, under the circumstances, would admit, and
found that they seldom brought over 5 % per acre
when sold at private sale. We also, upon good au'
thority, ascertained that combinations were being
formed for the purpose of purchasing these lands at
the usual Government prices, and were satisfied that
Justice could not be done the Government unless we
sold at private sale; and after a careful examination
of the property, we estimated its value at $90,OoO,
which is more than Sl2 per acre, and % more per
acre than the minimum fixed by the Secretary OF
War.
The question then arose as to the improvements
made by Sir. Steele. We could not admit that he
was such a settler as would come under your lnstruc.
tions, for he admitted that he had never been Induced
to believe that the pre- emption right would be e1-
tended to him; but we could not conceal the fact that
he had expended in improvements a large amount OF
money, aud that to give another the right TO purchase
the reservation would effectually compel him to lose
all he had expended. We, therefore came to the con.
olusion that justice required us to give Mr.. Steele the
refusal at the price We had agreed upon. We accord.
ingly made him the offer. He proposed to give
$75.WO. We informed him that We should not dis.
pose OF II ior q less sum than We had estimated it at,
uiz:- $9O,OO0-at which price be accepted il, and We
olesed a contract for the same-a copy of which we
herewith transmit for your action thereon.
We have further to report, that we examined Fort
Smelling Win reIerence 10 ls oelnE retained as a mi
litary depot, and became satisfied that the time has
passed for it to be useful a. q military depot or fort.
f. is go far from the frontier tina, it is utterly u.eless
for a fort, and to keep it for a depot would subject
the United States to a heavy annual expense, and
The government can have their stores forwarded, If
necessary, through a commission merchant cheaper
than by keeping This point as 9 depot. There is but
one other military post in Minnesota Territory, which
is situated on Minnesota river, above Fort smelling,

does it NOT appear necessary for q rs,shipment at Fost

Keuney presiding. The investigation Of this case
occupied the time Of the court four days, from Mon.
day the 3lst ultimo. 1t is not our purpose TO give the
evidence adduCed at this trial, but simply TO state the
case. Mrs. Drummond, il will be remembered, pre-
yious TO the preparation of the act for which she WAS
a%rraigned. had had a difficulty with the Bowmans,
and had been arrested under a warrant from a Justice
for attempting to shoot Bowman's cattle, making
threats. &c. These, and other circumstances, gave
rise 10 n mutual grudge and apirit of revenge between
the parties. At the trial Of the case, Mrs. D.. armed
herself with a dirk, for the purpose Of resenting any
~indignity that might be offered her. After hearing
The case, the Justice announced bs decision to bind
Mrs. ID. and her husband in a bond 70 keep the peace;
but, the parties refusing to acquiesee in his decision,
be was about to commit them to Jail. Under The i'm
preston, as she said, that she could not lawfully be
sent 10 Jail with her husband, she began to make
preparations to 20 home, when the constable. Robert
Hutchinson, attempted to arrest her until the Justice
should have time to write the commitment. This WAS
on the 10Th of November last. Mrs. ID. resisted the
arrest, and, in the sc1tis, stabbed Mr.. Hutchinson in
the abdomen. Her defence was, afterwards, that II
was accidentally, aud not wiltully done. The dirk
was exceedingly sharp pointed, and she was compel
ed to keep her hand upon it in her pocket, to prevent
it penetrating her clothes; and, another man having
hold of her right arm, while Hutchinson stood at her
left, with his hand upon her shoulder, she maintains
that the stab was given while endssvoring TO release
herself from their custody. The Indictment was for
wilful killing.
The evidence was concluded on Wednesday, when
the argument was opened by NJ. Bird, Esq., Attorney
for tbs Commonwealth, assisted by J. T. Harris,
ESQ, of Hsrrisonburg, j. w. F. Allen, Eso., of
tended the prisoner. The argument was closed by
Mr.. Harris on Thursday evening, when the case was
submitted to the Jury. A verdict was rendered on
Friday morning, finding the prisoner guilty of volun.
tsry homicide, and fixing her confinement iu the peui.
tertiary at four years. Woodstoek TcnM Legon.
