No. 1, Usborne, in the present war, the trustees of the 4ection have under consideration the erection of some suitable memorial. The scheme was first proposed by a former pupil now a successful man of the west. In cominenting on the sacrifice of the boys in laying down .their lives for the cause of humanity and freedons he thought it befitting that schoel seetions erect some monument to their memory, that their noble needs may be impressed upon the minds on future generations. Accompanying -the sug- gestion was a substantial cheque which if the trustees thought well of the proposition was to be used in carrying it out. When the proposition came before the trustees, the idea met with hearty endorsation and the scope en- larged upon. In addition to any who have or may lay down their lives in defence nf freedOin and justice, the names of all who eceive wounds, and even of thosewho had enlisted in the cause will be add d. It -will contain the names of an whn at any time have been students at the school, no matter where they enlisted. The pre- snnt plan' is to erect some form of Statutory at a suitable location on the school grounds. The idea is a most com,mendable ooe and will no doubt be taken up by other sections. - Pretty Wedding.—A very nretty wedding took place on Taesday, Jan- uary 15th, at St. Bridget's' church, Logan, when Lulu V., daughter on Mr. and Mrs. J.J.McCarthy, "Erinlodge", becalme the bride ' of Mr. John J.
