One hundred and twelve years ago on the 1 8th of June 1a 115, the mili- tary genius of Napoleon tsuonaparte, tl hu h had been a menace to the peeve of I$urope for many years, was finally crushed on the battlefield o£ Waterloo, After reigning ten years as French Emperor Napoleon abdicated in April S14 and was exiled to the island of i1ha, where he remained until the c;ollowing February, when he eaeap- d Oa the 1st of March he landed n France with 1000 men, and at once commencers a triumphal march to Paige, authoring an Meloy on no atilt Try t t- 1st, he had s'tised tt Encs n" 3110,000 to combat the mighty ho t which Great Britain and her allies were prepared to put in the field against him.

Blumer, he (tressed the frontier at dawn on the 1 5th of June with a picked force of 124,000 Men. Wellington and Blucher made no movement until they saw in what dir- ection Napoleon proposed to advance on Tirulsels, and then acted accord- ingly. On the 10th and 17th of June thene wore minor engagements be- tween small bodies of the, two armies, and at Tigny Blucher suffered a some- what severe reverse, which left Na- poleon :free to concentrate his whole force against Wellington, who decid- ed to fall hack towards Brussels and take up his position on the elevated ground to the south of the little vil- lage of Waterloo, where it was ar- ranged that he should hold Napoleon in check until Blucher reached him. .At dawn on the morning or the 16th of June the two forces ;aced each other read for the conflict, but a heavy storm in the night had soak- ed the ground with water, which ren - THE LJ SEL :'GST WANTED 11'e pay cash weekly, for ail (2rcaun rec-iv- cid ; 'ttrnisft can 8, (lay all express cllar14 .:i, give correct weight, V•st and grade.

Nanolaon'e object was to force Wellington from hi position before Blucher could ar- rive with reinforcements, while it - was Wellington's task to maintain Ilk; ground until his ally reached him. The conflict therefore consisted mein- ly of furious onslaughts by the French which were stubbornly and successfully repelled by the British commander. It was late in the a!sernoon before . Blucher appeared on the scene, and Napoleon, after vainly awaiting the arrival of reinforcements, made his last effort at 7 in the evening, when he ordered the infantry of his fam- ous Old Guard, which had been held in reserve during the day, to advance. The invincible veterans made a g'a1- ie.nt charge, but when they reached within 50 yards of the British lino they suddenly wavered and reeled before the terrible storm of fire which greeted them, and Wellington, taking advantage of their moment- ary check, ordered a general advance. As his army moved down from the hills it had held throughout the day the whole French force broke up in hapleless confusion and fled, and was pursued throughout the night by the Prussians. The losses on both sides were tre- mendous. Wellington and Blucher a ..t this Spri g Are you proud of your home when you lookat it from the street? If it needs painting, do it this Spring.

Opening Services of Presbyterian Church Special Sermons on Sunday by Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Brampton —Excel- lent Music by Choir and Soloists— Collections amount to 8890. The opening and dedicatory ser- vices of Knox Presbyterian Church of L'luevale, took place on Sunday, June 12th. The morning and evening services Were conducted by Dr. James Wilson, of Brampton. The message of the morning was taken from the words of Matt. 16118 "Upon this rock I will build my Church." The 'theme of the evening was suggested by the well-known words of Paul 1eFor I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto sal- vation to everyone that believeth," Romans 1:16, Th,, desire 00 the speaker was not only the church building, but every heart and mind, be dedicated to the use and service of God. Thoss who heard Dr. Wilson shall not soon for- get his inspiring messages and im- pressive manner, • The afternoon service was chiefly organ music and singing, by Mr. Quantz, organist, and Mr. Willmore, soloist, of London. We feel like con- gratulating the choir on their own splendid work and upon their ability to bring such rare musical talent to Bluevale. Mr. Hill, Mr. Hammond, Mr, Ecicmire, Miss Gilchrist, MIss McKay and Miss McLean, of Wing-- ham ing-ham and Brussels, were others whe gave their special aid to make the anisic of the day a joy and 5ucces1, i All the services were well attended. More than four hundred people were � crowded Into the auditorium long be- fore the hour of each service. A large number were either turned a- way_or obliged to stand out aide be- cause of the lack of seating accom- odation. An over -flow meeting was con- ducted in the basement • of the church by Rev. Mr. Fowler, of Brus- sels, in the evening. quick to appreciate the Sacrifice that the Presbyterian people of Bltu,vale had made in erecting - title beautiful new edifice, and they showed their appreciation, not only by words but by their generous gifts. The total offerings of the day amounted to more than eight hundred and ninety dollars. Royal gifts have been sent in by numerous individuals and by the congregations of Wingham, Brus- sels, Whitechurch and Teeswater Presbyterian churches, Your Eyes Need Attention If your eyes bother you in any way; If they t`i're quickly or be- come inflamed; If you do not see easily and well; If headaches impair your efficiency or interfere with your pleasure; If yeti cannot enjoy every minute of your reading') — SEL Maude 0. 13rya.ns bpt:otnotrlst Phoim 26x Brussels ® YOU REMEMBER?
