ferred to in the following paragraph
which we take from the Binghamp-
ton Reptiblio, of Binghampton New
York, is the daughter of Mr. John Gs. Crich,
artist, ofthis town, and will be read with
pleasure bythe many friends of the family
here : "Miss Mary V. Crich has com-
pleted the two years' training at the City
hospital. Her record in the hospital, so
Mies Simpson, the superintendent, said, was
excellent. She took a high stand in her
examineatolas and was a first-class assistant
nurse. She has been head nurse for the
last six, months, filling the position with
credit."

Coutaran.:--The regular monthly meeting
of the town council was held on Monday
evening. The treasurer's bonds, in the
amount of $3,000s -was accepted, and it was
decided to secure $2,000 more, the town
to pay the premiiim. The sum of $1,000
was placed to the credit of the public school
board, and 8.'300 to the credit of the Collegi-
ate Institute board. The fire and water
committee r+ommended the purchase of a
quantity of hose, a hose reel and other ap-
pliances asked for by the fire brigade. The.
report was adopted, and the committee in-
etructed to purchase these supplies. In the
matter of the purchase of a hook and ladder
wagon, it was decided to consult further
with the fire brigade, the committee to re-
port again in reference to this part of the
firemen's request. An account of $8922,
fibm the electric light company, was not
paid, on account of the conditions of the
agreement not being carried out, and the fire
and water committee were instructed to ar-
range that the contract be carried out. The

the anionnt of $42075 were passed for pay-
ment, The council adjourned to meet at

FROM SOIHrlt ERICA.—Cia the 9th of
February we published an extract from a
letter received by Miss R. Brine, from a
cousin in South Africa, who is a gunner in
Buller's army, and who was engaged with
• the forces that were erhployed in the relief
of Ladysmith. Mies Brine has received an-
other letter and has kindly permitted us to
make the following extracts from it. This
letter is dated, Tugela, January 29th, and
proceeds : " We have just returned from a
long and trying battle,.lasting seven days.
My regiment alost- in. -casualties, 143 killed
and wounded. So yeti can imagine how
warm a time we had. I believe, however, -
the Boer loss was terrible, and greater than
ours. We started attacking a hill, called
Spearman's Kope, and as we got about one
hundred yards up it the Boers let 118 have it
hot and we had to face a tremendous fire of
cannon and Mauser rifle bullets. Shells
were bursting all around Us. The machine
gun that I am in charge of, got both mules
shot, one ,kiiled and the other severely
wounded, and consequently tve 'had to drag
the cannon about by hand, not a very
pleasant job when one is expecting to be
blown to pieces every minute. We had to
lie in trenches for seven nightie so as to be
ready for thel Boers should they come, and
the nights hete are very cold, but the days
make up for the nights as they are awfully
svaem, and here are no trees to get under
to get out of the sun, so we have to stick it
oub the best e can. I won't be sorry when
this war is o'er as we are toeing a great
number of pod' fellows. I lost my best
-chum on the rd of January. He was shot
through the held and stomach, and when I
went to look at him the poor fellow was
dead. It gave me a turn for the time. The
sights one see e on the battle field are awful;
horses galloping about riderless, and the
-poor besets seem to know that their masters
hey° gone. We are going to make another
try on Thursday, 2nd of February, to re-
lieve Ladysmith, and we will all be very
glad if we succeed, as I think the 'poor fel--
lows have had a very trying time of it there
for the past three menthe, with the Boers
firing shells into them; almost continuously.
There is here and at ' Durban over fifteen
truck loads of letters and paroels waiting to
get into Ladysmith. So you may guess how
pleased the people will be when they get
released, even if it were for nothing else
but the communication it will give them
with the outside world. If God and the
bullets spare me, I certainly expect to visit
• Canada some day, when I hope to have the
pleasure of seeing all my friends there."

A Goori SEND Orr, —A very pleasant
evening was spent in the lodge room of
Court Flower of the Forest, Canadian Order
of Foresters, on Tuesday. It having be-
come known that Mr. Daniel Stevenson, of
Egmondvitle, intended leaving shortly to
take up his residence in Manitoba, his
brethren determined to show their esteem
fclr him as a citizen and their appreciation
of his services as a Forester, by presenting
him with an address and a testimonial in
the shape ot a handsome and valuable
Emblematic pin. Mr. Stevenson has not
onLv been an active, useful and valued mem-
bar! of Court Flower of the Forest bat has
aehieved distinction in the order, as he now
oecupies the high position of Court Deputy.
The address was conahed in the most kind-
ly and complimentary terms, making special
reference to the fact that Mr. Stevenson, by
his fidelity to the Order, had been raised by
his brother Foreeters from the ranks of
a private member to occupy the highest of-
fice in the Court, and bore testimony to the
fact that in times of -storm as well as in
times of peace, you have been able to see
the- bright side in all oases, while your time-
ly advice and cheerful words have been of
great service to the cause on many occa-
sions." Mr. Stephention, in a brief but feel-
ing reply, expressed his sincere thanks to
his brethren for their kindly. worded ad-
dress and their more tangible token of their
esteem. He had spent many enjoyable
evenings with them and the pleasant inter- "
course he had enjoyed with the members
of i.he Court would furnish cheerful and
pleasant reflections when he was far re-
moved from them, and long after he had
formed other associations in the far West,
where he expected to make his future home,
and where ever he might be, he would
never forget the kindness of his associates
here, while his intercourse with them would
forever form a green spot in his life. He
also wished for the continued prosperity of
Court Flower of the Forest and its inembers,,
individually and personally. We may say
that few men enjoy more fully the confi-
dence and esteem of his fellows than Mr.
Stevenson does, and his numerous friends in
Egnsondville and Seaforth and vicinity will
unite with his brother Foresters in wishing
him prosperity in his new home and will
watch with interest his progress there.
•
THE VETERAN'S' CONCERT.—The concert
in Cardno's hall last Friday evening, for the
benefit of the 33rd battalion, band and the
Seaforth volunteer company, was well at-
tended. The'audienee was a most enthusi-
astic one, and despite the fact that the pro-
gramme was a long one, every selection was
heartily encored. The veterans of '66 re-
ceived a great ovation when they marched
on the stage Linder the command of Lien -
tenant Georg E. Jackson, and very proud
they were of he medals presented to' them
by Lieutenant-Colonel Varcoe. Lieuten-
ant Jackson in his historioal address gave
sorne amusing incidents of the Fenian Raid
and told some good stories on the veterans.
The band played exceptionally well, and
while some of their selections were just a
little long, they showed cleverness and good
training on the part of the musicians.
Miss Acheson, of Goderich, was well receiv-
ed and added to the patriotic spirit Of the
evening by her selections, more particular-
ly that of " The life of a soldier." Mr.
Spaulding, of Clinton added not a little to
the pleasure of the audience, and it is hoped
he will at some future time again favor the
Seaforth people. The others who took part
in the programme were home people and as
on former occasions, made the audience
both pleased and proud,, We might just
mention as the most pletliting Of their selec-
tions Mrs. Greig's recitation of " The-Rido
of Jenny MaoNeal," Mr. W. G. Willis'
song, "John Bull," and that of Miss Mao-
Quade, "The widow of old Windsor Hall."
-Last. but not least, weie the comic solos of
'Mr. Will, McLeod, the audience showing
their appreciation of some of his selec-
tions by double encores, Besidee the
musical part of the programme Messrs.
Baldwin and Morrison gave a good
exhibition of trick bicycle riding, and a
fancy drill, under the, leadership of Mr.
James Robb, reflected' credit not mily on
the latter but on the boys and gide who
took part in it. Mayor Nile= oacupied
I the chair and in his evening address made
a plea, for more -generosity towards the vol-
unteere. Miss L. Willson and Mrs. Wil-
liam*MoLeod were the accompanists—The

as some twenty-five employees, most of
them with families, will be thrown out of
etnployment.—Rev. Mr. Penman, of Mon-
treal, who conduoted the service in, the
Presbyterian church last Sabbath with
much acceptance, will °Mate again next

be near the wind up of the season, there
should be a good turn out of skaters. Mr.
Wm. McDougall, the lesee of the rink this
year, has done everything ,possible to make
things interesting at the rink, and his per-
sistent enterprise should he rewarded by a
big crowd on Friday night. Everything
