NEWS FROM !RAMSHOTT Pte. H. V. Armstrong writes the following interesting letter, to his mother. Mrs, Dr. Armstrong, Gorrie. Bramshott Camp, Hants, England, MY DEAR MoTrnnxt,—Your letter re- ceived and I was w glad to hear from you, If you could only have seen the men in the Battalion yesterday when the three big sacks of Canadian mail came in. How happy we all were, as one man expressed it, "If the folks at home could only see this they wou11 write as much and as often as they possibly could," Two poor chaps were sad, however, one got word his wife and baby were buried and another of his mother's death, But such things must be faced in soldier as in civilian life, but it is tough when one is so far from home. There is hardly anything r to tell you, of course there is lots about 'I our work, but were are not allowed to write it. There are several old Gorrie boys here, Lindsay Musser, Geo, Bow- yer and a young Lowrie and a couple I used to know in Toronto. As you know our whole battalion has been broken up for` some time. When we received the news we all felt pretty blue after being together since last fall. I was at Alton, Hants, on Satur- day and saw, among other places, an old Church (still being used) built in 1380 and where Cromwell and a party of his men took refuge at the battle. of Edge Hill 1441. Tho oldest tombstone I could find a legible date was 175S, t re are many older but the dates are obliterate 1. The old oaken doors and Walls and pillars of the Church still have the bullet holes, some with old lead bullets embedded in them from the fight. The place was very inter- esting. We had a very sad accident in the Bramshott Camp with Trans- vaal Scottish troops, An instructor was teaching the use of a rifle grenade and it was supposed to have a time fuse, but for sone unknown reason had an instantaneous fuse wbteh ex- ploded, The instructing officer and four men were killed and three others have died since. Thirty men in all were wounded. A. number of our old bunch are already in France, Our old bombing section had a had knock when they went to France. They were caught in a Zeppelin Raid and a number killed, I only knew two 'per- sonally, one was from Lecknow, Ont. I received the parcels you sent me in good condition and many thanks. They certainly were a treat, I am sending some snap shots taken at the edge of "the Devil's Punch Bowl', a large basin in the hills of Surrey. Liat Saturday, duly S.h, we were re- viewed by the King, that is the whole of the fourth division, which is cont• prised of 10 Battalions, so I can say now I have teen King George V. and Queen Mary. Along with them Were Sir John French, Earl Grey, Don. G. E, Foster and othere. There sure was a bunch of Canadian soldiers, there were twenty-five thousand present. All our battalions are training bard and are looking tine and fit.

Alfred Pratt, who works on a farm near Goderich, was run down by an automobile in Stratford on Monday afternoon.

Residents of Huron and Kincardine townships to the number of four or fiv. hundred, observed what has been termed as "farmers civic holiday" at Lansdowne Park, on Tuesday afternoon. Keen in-- terest was : hown in the baseball games between Clarks and the 10th Huron nines, which was won by the latter; and one be. tween Milia! ton and the 10th Huron,' which resulted in another win for the 10th. Two Goderich 'homes were saddened when official word -was received of the wounding of Privates Sidney Drew and Hugh Maguire. Private Draw was one of the first men to enlist from Goderich, joining the lst Battalion, serving in Bermuda and subsequently being trans- ferred to the 33rd Battalion. He went to France with a draft. Private Maguire enlisted in the83rd Battalion and likewise went to the firing line with a draft. The body of the late George Blatchford the unfortunate young man who lost his life while bathing at Goderich last Monday was found floating just off the mouth of the river by William Marilton in his gas- oline launch.

No inquest will be held. A serious accident occurred at Kinloss, on the Durham road on Thursday, • whet) two young men, whose names could not be obtained, ran into each other.

The child had gone out to the potato field where his eld- ers were applying the bug poison, and un• noticed got into a parcel of the dry green powder, By the lime his pother noticed what. he was doing, he had regaled him- self on qu(te a lot of the cool looking green stuff, and his mouth was full of it. To lie nearly a day with a broken arm and other bruises without receiving any attention was the distressing experience that befell Mrs. Patrick Ford, an aged lady of t oderich, While about her work on Wednesday, Mrs. Ford, who is over 80 years of age, was suddenly overcome by a weak spell and fell, breaking her left arm above the elbow and severely bruising her head. Unable to get any assistance, she crawled to a lounge and lay there for hours when she managed to get to the door and call a neighbour. She was lat. er removed to the hospital and the arm set and is resting as web as can be expected. A very heavy rainstorm, accompanied by vicious lightning, passed over the southern section of Carrick last Thursday evening. The rain fell in torrents, and the lightning was alarming. Ignatz Hin- sperger's barn was struck and badly splintered, and a brood sow in the stable got the tail of the shock, completely para- lysing it. Another stroke hit Mrs. August Kleist's chimney on the Elora road. The chimney was wrecked and the wall slight- ly damaged, The current then was car- ried off by the telephone ground wire. A brood sow on the premises of Jos. Vogan was killed by lightning, and Wm. Dahms is also reported to have lost a horse dur- ing the storm, Several other smaller los- ses are also reported. A terrible accident took place in the gravel pit at the C. P. R, station, Edn village, at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of last week and terminated in the death of Garfield Berry half an hour later. Ber- ry had been employed at the pit for some time and was quite familiar with the mac. hinery. He was putting on a belt on the machine that feeds the crusher and was drawn over the pulley. The left arta and leg were torn off at the body and the un- fortunate man's bowels prgtruded. Th e machinery'was stopped as quickly as pos- sible and Berry was pulled out, but his injuries were so terrible that nothing could be done for him. He lived for about 30 minutes after the accident. Berry was 30 years of age and unmarried. t'n Monday afternoon Mrs. W. J. Duke on lot 22, 2nd line, East Caledon, met with a paiuful and serious accident. She was picking berries when her son, Wilfred and Cec'ijI Wilson, who is employed at 3, 13. McNichol's fartn,dwere driving a cow to the latter place.. The animal ran in the opposite direction and the boys shouted to Mrs; Duke to head her off. The woman attempted to do so, but the cow knocked her down and stepped on her body, breaking fro ribs. Mrs, Duke was taken home: it'd Dr. Thomas of Caledon was summoned and attended to her injuries. As Mrs. Duke is 65 years of age it will be some time before she will have completely recovered. The cow was owned by J. B. McNichol and was not vicious, GerfaliteMItEm Morris Ken.
