One morning he missed her; the next morning a little group of nous proceeded slowly to the churchyard and Roland watching thenl knew that he need remain no longer there, basted to war and fell at Ronce8' vanes. We arrived At Coblenz at jou°. tion of Moselle and Rhine abont 3 o'clock and entrance to this old Roman city-- Conflnentes-is very imposiug indeed. From Coblenz onward the scenery is perfectly beautiful, the tall mountains, the aide of which are covered with grape vines the grand old castles some in ruins, some fairly preserved, the light and shadow ever changing, the little white walled towns eleeping peacefully at the base of the majestic hills, the Rhine Heidelberg, den, July 27th, 1905 dotted with pleasure boats and barges, Dear Everyone, -I wrote last from I winding its tortuous way and it is very Brussels I believe, and here I am at tortuous, bending so suddenly at times that you can not tell which way to turn -All I have ever read of it gives no adequate idea of its beauty. At the old castle of Schouburg the famous Marshall Schonburg who feel at the Battle of the Boyne was born,, and the castle walla are broken and only pieoes remain standing of a building once the home and birthplace of generations of warriors the whole race of which is now extinct. Passing onward we came to the "Lorelei," the rocks told of in fairy stories where the sirens lured the fisherman to death in the cruel rapids be- low. The Germans on board started to sing "The Watch of the Rhine" and we all sat and listened, until sonic one said i'There is the Mouse-Fower," and so it was on a little Island in the Rhine. We soon reached Bingen and had dinner in true German style on the terrace. It is a very beautiful town 'tis true, but the mosquitoes kept us awake all night and we still bear innumerable traces of there visit. Next morning we took train to Frankfort -on -Main, had' - dinner their and a drive about the town and then came on to Heidelberg, the quaintest old town we have yet seen. Our hotel is away up on the mountain side and you look down upon the ruined castle and the long long rows of lights in the city below, white the stone bridges with their towers at eaoh end cast shadows on the water, from University club rooms the sound of music is borne upward on the evening breeze, and all about you is still, it seems hard to realize that long ago the city teemed with knights in armor and clash of shield and helmet rung out heavily all day long,aud at even- tide the old castle capitulated to the tri- umphant Louis XIV of France. We went all over the castle next day from "turret to foundation stone," even to the kitchen where we saw the immense fire- place in which the whole ox was roasted, the great wine vats one of which held 49000 gallons, the bake oven which mea- sure about 15 or 18 feet across,and many other marvels. Part of the Round Tower was blown right out in a huge mass of masonry, being so strong that it fell in one solid lump into moat below. The wall measures 21 feet in thickness, while the diameter of the tower is 95 feet. We go on to Strasburg to -morrow and from thence to Switzerland. Now I must ,,lose -Love to all. Yours affeotionatly, MARY R. FINDLATER. Heidelberg. We left Brussels the day after celebration and by the way, Sir Hugh Reid, who was an invited guest of King Leopold's celebration was telling ne that the Prince's little son, of whom I wrote you, stood for 2 home between father and grandfather at the reception that afternoon. I enjoyed Brussels very much indeed. Did I write you about our visit to Waterloo? I have for- gotten. At any rate we went and view- ed all that remains of that famous battle field A large mound 165 feet bigh, on top of which stands a lion, cast from the cannon captured by the British, com- memorates the death of the brave fel- low who fell there. From the top of the mound can be seen farm houses where were touglit battles of Mt. St. Jean, La Belle Alliance, Hangomont and La HayeSainte. Our guide showed ns all over the place and took especial pains to point out the fact that the Wrench never entered the N. gate of Hangomont Farm where the British were stationed but at the S. gate held by some -troops of the allies. To -day grain waves ripe over the scene of the carnage of 90 years ago, and cattle graze upon the side of the mound, at the foot of the mound the peasants stand offering for sale every- thing that you can think of. We had a delightful drive through the Forest and stopped at the museum, and church which was used as a hospital for the wounded. We saw the bed in which The Duke slept the night of 18 June 1815. From Brussels we cam° to Aix-la- Chapelle the home of Charlemagne of historic fame, and found a modern up- to-date city. little to indicate that it had been founded by the Romans nearly 1200 years ago. We went to the cathedral and saw all the relics of past ages that were to be seen, the copper pulpit iul'aid with precious stoma, the gift of Henry II. the old fashioned Candelabra of year 1135, fitted np with electric bulbs! and CharIemague's chair of state. We also visited their town hall in which the Emperors were crowned up to year 1535, and here we saw some very fine part- ings too. From Aix we came to Cologne stop- ping over night at Hotel Du Nord. Next morning we took a cab and drove to the cathedral, a most magniflcient building, the outside adorned by numerous beauti- ful statues. The windows on one side date bank to year 1500 I believe and are marvels of richness and beauty. The coloring is exquisite. The people come in and say their prayers, market baskets in their hands, and go on about their work while the tourist steps softly about finding it difficult to realize that this is the everyday life of the people we see. We drove about the city in the after- noon and caw remnants of fortifications rising ragged and bare, for the English Ivy does not cover these rains as it does in England, and walls crumbled and broken no longer needed as defences converted into beautiful terraces and gardens. We left Cologne by boat Wed- nesday morning 8.45 o'clock passing through the old fashioned "bridge of boats." Beyond Cologne on the right bank of the ithine rises the ruins of Drachenburg 908 feet above the Rhine while- across from it stands the fantastic arch built by Roland the paladin of Charlemagne, and below in ice shadows lie the old convent in which his sweet- heart tool refuge supposing her lover had fallen during the Crus ades.

The new bridge at Lower Wingham is completed and open for traflie. It is a good substar sial structure. The Wingham cricketers went to Olin, ton yesterday to play, and succeeded in coming off victorious by a score of 94 to 83. the word "advertise" appears twice in the bible -Numbers 24.4; and 4, 4. Now those who look for a good suggestion can ant upon this. The grits and tones had another crick- et match ou Wednesday, resulting in a victory for the Iatter by 7 rens, so one of their number informs us. FALL POULTRY WORK. The most important of the fall work, and on it depends the supply of eggs all winter through, is the proper matnriag of the pullets. If they are small and their summer and spring care was not good they may not be expected to lay any great number of eggs, for they will be busy trying to gain the needed size, The poultryman who has the knack of getting ont the early pullets is the suc- cessful one in all things about the pool. try yard, for this is the test by which he may be judged, If the pullets are doing fairly well in their growth and yet tome eize is needed on them it is at this time of the fall when they will put it on the easiest. When the pullets are out on the range they .get a lot of bugs and worms which are not found elsewhere. They also get strength that makes them vigorous and well able to stand the strain of heavy egg production when they are called on. Give them all they will eat twice daily. In the morning they should have wheat and at night feed all the cracked corn that they will eat. Feed this in troughs if the ground is too foul. Hulled oats are good growing feed. too. Orchard or field range will supply the rest of the diet and if you think that the supply of bilge and worms is scarce, then get some: ground beef scrape,' for .;the take the place.adniirably. On the average farm the scrape are not needed. If the pullets are far behind In their growth feed a mash in the morning or at noon. Noon suits very well, as then the fowls are ready for it and itis all di- gested by the time they come up for their next feed. The roosts should be made of boards about two inches wide, for those any nar- rower than this will make crooked breasts on them, and these ere defects that can- not be oretconze. MANAGER WANTED.

The firemen were called out, but danger was past when they got around. Next Tuesday Harry Hiscocks, who has been In Robert Orr's store for ever so long, will take possession of C. M. Newaus' store and go it on his own hook. Harry is a popular and deserving young man, and the TIMES wishes him all success in his new venture. This week J. J. Auderson has been en- gaged erecting a grand stand at the Horticultural park, to be used on the occasion of Caledonian games on Sept. 10. The stand will have a seating capacity of 2,000, and will command an excellent view of the games. The old postoffice building on Victoria street is now occupied by Isaac Ire- land, who is pulling down his old build- ing on Josephine street. It is Mr. Ire- laud'B intention to erect a new frame house on the old site and have it ready for occupancy before winter sets in. The TIMES owes an apology to the Tory cricketers for stating last week that the Grits won by one run, when the fact was ` that they whipped the Grits by four runs. The score stood: Tories, 63; Grits 59, and George Duf- field can show the score book to prove the victory. • ----- On Saturday last Mrs. Ann E. Robin- son, mother of R. M. Robinson, of this town, died at the residence of her daugh- ter in Hamilton, at the advanced age of 82 years and 5 months. The remains were brought to Wingham on Monday and interred in the cemetery the follow- ing day, the funeral being largely at- tended. Wm. Holmes is about to undertake a new departure in connection with his blaoksmitbing business. He is fitting np that portion of his building lately occu- pied as a dwelling, and will convert it into a good working and paint shop. The Vidette is the name of a new paper which made its first appearance in Gorrie last week, and which is de- signed to supply the field of the defunct Enterprize. It is published by Thos. Nash. At a meetiug of the fire and water committee on Tuesday evening it was decided to disband the old fire company and reorganize a new one of picked and capable men. It is proposed to engage a captain who will choose his own men, each will receive a moderate yearly salary from the council. The town band boys have always re- sponded promptly to requests to play at garden parties and hare never asked a cent for their services. Is it not about time that a anion party, or something of that Bort be given for the sole benefit of their services? The band is in need ' of fonds, and it is but right that some- : thing should be done for the boys. Last Saturday night Barkley & Mo- Crimmon's new building was brilliant- ly illuminated by electric light, a corn- • plate apparatus having been fitted for the purpose by C. L. Ireland. The dynamo Or electric generator was Located in Clark's pump works, and power was supplied by the engine there. The light was steady and brilliant, and a complete Success. 10P. it -' TOWN DIRECTORY, Local history of the early 80$. Items from The "Times" fyles. COUNTY ITE3ts. In West Wawanosh it is claimed that tall .% heat will yield 4Q bushels to the acre. But spring wheat is a failure. Tie young poetofboe clerk who stole the registered letters from the Luoknow office has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Five Brussels boys pulled 134 acres of flax in 3 hoarse the other day. That's about the time they would make in getting an armful of wood for their mothers. Alex. Taylor, who has been a resident of Clinton for over a quarter of century, committed suicide on the 14th by drown- ing himself in Irwin's mill pond. Farmers are boxy hauling their Drop of flax to Bruasols. The Drop is excel- lent this year, and the foreman expects to get 600 toes this year, whioh at $12 per ton means a good cum paid to the farmers in that neighborhood. On Saturday morning of last week the residence of P. Hollihan, of the 4th con. of East Wawanosh, was struck by light- ning and damaged to the extent of $100. The family were in bed at the time and all were knocked senseless, and remain- ed so for several hours, A dog which was under Mr. Hollihau's bed was killed. The current entered through a window, and whore it went out nearly the whole end of the house was knocked down. SLEEPY HOLLOW. Typhoid fever is very prevalent in Wroxeter and Gorrfe and in the coun- try round about. Fears are entertained that it may become epidemic. Large shipments of cattle, &c., are being made from Turnberry and How - ick. Prices, however, are very low al- though the demand seems good._ Dampness has obaracterized the weather here lately to such au extent that it is feared it will inj are the grain in the shook. Fall wheat has been sown in several places and in some localities is said to be showing nicely above ground. The spring wheat crop this season is a failure as it rusted badly. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
