The newspapers of London reeeived details by mail on November loth of the reonpture of Dargai Ridge by the Gordon Highlanders on Oet. 9041, $wring which that regiment exhibited remarkable dash and courage. After the 'figbting on Monday, Oct. 18th, between the column of British troops commanded by General Sir Yeat• man Biggs, and the tribesmen from Chagru, on the Seemana range, the Brit- ish retired open Shinware, and the enemy, greatly reinforced, ro•occupied Dargai Ridge. On Wednesday followiug Gen. Biggs Bent the ee0ee8 dlvfeiott to dislodge the tribesmen. The position was a very strong one, the enemy occupy ing the summit of A PRitCIPITODa 020.8. The top of this hill could be reached only by a single path, along which the attacking foroe—at first consisting of a Gheirkal regiment, the Derbyshire regi- ment, and the Dorsetahire regiment — wae obliged to climb in Indian file, while three batteries of artillery, shelled the eo• trenchnlents of the hill -men. Dcr.;ai Ridge, from the direction of the assault, presents a frontal of about a mile, the left end of whioh is rock for 200 yards. In spite of the difficulty of the ailment, the movements of tho British troops were fairly well cove -Tod except in the Dasa of a dip, or email valley, 100 to 130 yards wide, about hall way up , the ridge, and exposed to direct fire from the cliffs. When the Gharkas resohed TRIM FIRE ZONE, immediately the top of the cliffs buret nn' into flame, for a thousand tribesmen had reserved the fire of their rifles until that moment. Though decimated, the little mountaineers struggled aurone the dip and reached the shelter of a few rocks. Then led by their officers, they mode a dash for the Dover of the olid side. But the others could not follow, and the enemy, with true military instinct, re- served their fire. Though the remainder of the Ghurkns, the Derbyehiree and the Dorsetahire¢ appeared on the fringe of the dip, yet to step into the fire zone meant death. But the Doreebehires again tried to advance to the support of the Gurkhas. Thirteen men struggled into the open space, only to drop before the other side °cold be reached. Already the little dip was strewn with corpses, and so bloodthirsty were the enemy that a wounded man bad but to move a limb to become the TAl101T OP A DOZEN 5I.11108Mlt8. Reluctantly the senior officer hello - retailed down to the main body of the ritish troops that the passage could not e taken. At this juncture Gen. empster ordered the Gordon Higblaud• e to the front. It was then 4 o'clock the afternoon, and over 100 men had ready fallen. The enemy were shout - g their defiance sud waving their endards, confident of their position nd certain of their success. But the ordotl Highlanders had yet to be droned with.

When Col. Mathias gave the order to advance, the pipers of the High- landers followed, striking up "The Cook of the North," and with a shout the leading company of kilted men was INTO THE rills ZONE. A stream of lead swept over, through and past them, bullets ohnruinr up the dust which hall hid the rushing men. Piper Findlater was einotlg the first to show the way aorose that deadly strip of ground, and when, after traversing but a few yards, he was laid low by a shot through both lege, he managed to prop himself up against a bouider, and con. tinned with unabated energy the stir. ring M0816 of his pipes. hien kept poor- ing into the passage, and the loaders struggled alroee to the waver.

Mr. Patch's case was car. taiuly one of the most extraordinary in the annals of medicine in Canada—if not 13 in the world.

WHAT Dr. illiarns' Pink Pills others they will do for you, if lin lingered it, the condition above noted, utterly holplees and a burden to himself and friends. He was then advieed to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, He did not hope that they would help him, but in his sad condition he was prepared to grasp at anything that afforded tho prospeot of even a slight relief. The first change noted in his condition after he began the use of the pills was a disponi• lion to sweat freely. Then life began to return to itis hitherto dead body, and from that time on his progress towards recovery and activity was steady and certain. The pnblioation of the interview, con• taining the rats above noted, created un- usual interest, not only in this section, hat throughout Canada. That a man, whose limbs and body were all but dead, who had been examined by rnedieal ex. ports and pronounced incurable and on the strength of their report was paid a large disability claim, should afterwards be cured by Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, was looked upon as a marvel. Matey were skeptical, nob as to the auto --for the fact that lie was actively .going about proved thio--bntthey did not believe it would prove permanent, In view of the doubts then expressed, the Monet er de. torminod to w3teb the ease closely, and now, nearly two years after the aura tons first published, hie again interviewed Mr. Petah, with the result that we are in a position to 033/ most emphatically that this remarkable mire bas proved permit. ant, On being again gnewinn011, Mr. Pabch said :—"'Van see those hands—the skin is 110w natural and elaetir♦. Once they were hard and 8011110/1 seneation. Yon mould pierce them with it pin and I would not feel it, and what is true of my hands its trite of the rest of my body.

Ihhdeed I am in even better health than when I gave you the first interview," "Do you still attribute your cure to the 088 of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills 7" asked the Monitor. "Unquestionably I do." was the re- ply. "Doctors had failed, as had also the numerous remedies recommended by my friends. Nothing .8 took had the slightest effect upon me tent!/ I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To this wonderful medicine I owe my release from a living death. I hate since recom• mended Dr, Williams' Pink Pills to Many of my friends, and the verdiot is ice their favor. I shalt always bless the day I was inelticed to take thein," The above are the e!llef etateulents made by .111'. Petah in this latest inter• view, mud the Monitor nitty remark, from a long ammai08alltle with him, that wn consider hie etatemente absolutely true and reliable. Ito has no interest to serve other than n desire to recommend the medicine tdutt has dons so nitwit for him, and we feel sots that if tiny sufferer will write Mr. Fetch, enclosing a attune for reply, hu will endorse all the etatemeats made above. We eiav further add that Mr. 1'etoli'e remarkable recovery leaves no doubt of the wonderful curative pow- ers of Dr, Williams' Pink Pille, and it seems reasonable to infer that they 80111 do for olhvt'e what they have done for hint—restore health and vitality.
