Last week a very kindly and beau- tiful expression was given of the bond of sympathy existing between the families in Clinton vho have mem- bers crtets serving in the Huron Battalion when the wives and families of the officers and men of the Met sent a handsome floral emblem for the cas- ket of the late William Leppington, who died so suddenly. Mrs. Lapping - ton, who was so unexpectedly be- reaved, has but :two sons, and both are members of the :Mist and at the time of their father's sudden death were probably upon the Atlantic. The loneliness of the widowed moth- er's position struck a responsive chord in the hearts of other wives and mothers of Clinton soldier boys and they gave sweet expression to their sympathy by the gift of fra- grant roses and a kindly message. But for such kindly thoughts and deeds titis old world world often prove but a poor place to sego:'rn. 1 2 i LODGEENTERill INA, Murphy Lodge was at-home to its friends on Tuesday evening, its nem • bers being hosts at a very ct' l le social evening to which its wives, daughters gird friends were invited.
