S,:aforth, Jan. 10. — The north
gravel road from Seaforth was orig-
Melly huilt by the County ithout the
iy<nr 1S60, and by by-law was given
over to -_b Towle:hip of McKillop to
ntliut 1 in 1 S72. Tho Connie.,
however, retained G>iefe's Bridge as
County Bridge, and the :tel
bridge which was replaced in 1926,
was built in the year Ibbs, A, L.
Gibson, of Wroxeter, being, \Verden.
The masonry work was done by Jos.
Naegle, and the steel work by the
Hamilton Bridge Company, at a to -
tut cost of 85,848.
The new bridge was constructed
because the old steel bridge was not
able to carry with safety the heavy
modern loads. It has a roadway
width of 23 feet, and the distance
between the old abutments len 72
feet, while the span of the arches is
50 feet. The structure is of rein-
forced concrete throughout, ten tons
of reinforcing steel, being used do its
construction. The work was done by
day work, P. M. Finnigan being con-
struction foreman, and the cost was
$6,173.24. The plans and specifica-
' tions for the bridge were drawn by
T. R. Patterson, County Engineer.

HOSPITAL BY-LAW
DECLARED CARRIED
After Days of Doubt Judge Rules
That Goderich Grant Is Sustained
Goderich, ,T tn. J.—The result of
the voting here last Mondey on the
by-law granting aid to Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital to the
extent of 68,000 was 80 peculia, that
it was not definitely known whether
the by-law had passed or not until
the case was heard before County
Judge E. N. Lewis, on Saturday.
When it was announced immediately
after the voting that the result was
386 for to 376 against,,it was sup-
posed that the bylaw was carried,
but the law requires a favorable vote
of one-half of those voting, and 01
there were 25 rejected ballots, the
total poll wos 789, one-half of which
is ;911". Accordingly Returning Of-
ficer L. L. Knox declared the by-law
"did not receive t he assent of the
electors."
The matter was not allowed to rest
hero by the hospital officials, and an
application was made to the Judge
on Saturday. Judge Lewis' decision
was that the by-law had carried by
a majority of 12, and issued a tor-
tificate to that effect,

THE BATTLE OF CORUNNA
One hundred and eighteen years
ago, on the 16th January, 1809, the
brilliant but ill-fated Spanish cam-
paign uncle) the command of Sir
John Moore ended with his glorious
victory at the Battle of Corunna.
In October 1807 Napoleon 13uona-
parte enterecl,into a treaty with the
king of Spain, whereby it was agreed
that they should seize the kingdom of
Portugal and divide it between them,
but when the Portugese ntonarc'l had
been driven from his throne and the
French army was in possession of the
country Napoleon repudiated the ar'
rangeinent. / He invaded Spain, de-
posed its king and gave the throne to
his own brother, Joseph Buonaparte.
The Spanish people rose as nide
roan against the usurper, met the
British Government deciared its in-
tention of waging a vigorous wel-
fare against Napoleon in Spain and
Portugal. Two small 13r:tion forces
were despatched to the scene under-
the respective commands of Sir Ar
thur Wellesley, afterwards Duke or
Wellington, and Sir John Moore, and
thue conlmoneedl the memorable cam-
paign ]mown as the Peninsula' war.
Wellington landed in Portugal and
by his great victory at Viilhlela 111
August of 1808 the drove the :trench
army from the country, but M,100.3's
campaign in Spain was doomed to
failure from the start. He was giv-
en the task of assisting the Spanish
insurgents, put his array was totally
inadequate for the purpose. Ha'
landed at Corunna with 30,009 men,
but on his march inland he received
very little co-operation from the peo•
-
ple he had come to help, 'tn'l was un- '
able to ecure from. them either ser -
vie or supplies.
When he, arrived at Salamanaca
he found that the- Spanish army had
been completely disorganized by the
::)1)1(101 advent of Napoleon at the
head of a force of 200,000 When, and
Moore had 110 alternative but to re-
turn .to the coast. He was closely
pursued by a superior French force
under the command of Marshal
Soult, and the British troops suffer-
ed severely during their toilsome and
hasty retreat through the inhospit-
able country and were haras:el by a
long series of rearguard engage-
ments.
Moore reached Corunna on the
llth January, 1809, and while await -
ins' the arrival of his transport; lo'
took up his position outeida the walls
of the city to meet the attack of his
pursuers. He was badly handicap-
ped for he had only 15;000 exhaust-
ed men and 9 light guns to resist
Soult's army of 20,000 11121 and 40
heavy guns. The battle, wh ch took
place on the morning of the 16th of
January, was of short duration.
Sonit failed to dislodge the. defend -
ere, he was beaten back with a loss
of 2,000 men, and Moore was about
to launch a counter-atta^_k when he
was fatally wounded. His last hour.;
were cheered with the knowledge
that his vietory would on'tble the
remnants of his army to embark
without further molestation or loss.
and this was effected on the follow-
ing day.
In ac eordance with his dying com-
mands, Moore was laid to net in a
hastily -dug grave on the ramparts or
tell city, and his solemn interment in
