Kin ly remember us to all old acquainsances thro gh THE Ehrosinon..." • So nvi Aenisea—Osfistav Henrich &hoof, ex -Sergeant Mejor of the British Buchanan - land mounted Poli e, delivered hie promised addresses in the Methodist church on the evenings of Sunda , Monday and Tuesday last. All the leet res were interesting and instructive. Mi. ehoof is quite conversant with the South Af ican Teanevaal and the people. He has n t a very high opinion of the Boers. While rofessedly Christian they are only partially so, as their actions to- warda their fellow men prove. They are harsh and cruel in their treatment of ' the blacks, who 'do the moat of their work for them and receive little but abuse in return for their labor 'and are, practically, slaves. The Boers also are ignorant and supersti- tious and until recent years, since the dis• eovery oil mineral wealth, were very poor. Now, hoWever, the leaders are riels, having made the, r wealth through the en erprise of the Uitlenders. Ari to their bravery, they arc ()illy brave with their rifles. They are good marksmen and when protected by rocks and bluffe are dangerous foes, but in the open they are n t good as fighters. He says he has no doub but they fully believe that they can easily defeat Great Britain in bsttle and so "soon a they become undeceiv- ed in this respect they will wilt and sue for peace. Mr. Seised had with him many euriosities which he had taken from South Africa an1 other countries where he had been. Ho had good audiences and all were deeply interested in all they heard and saw and many, ,no doubt, obtained from him a more accurate idea of that interesting coun- try and its people than they ever had before. • Eon oneVILLE NOTES. —Mies Sarah Stew- art was taken very ill last week, but is now improving, after being off duty for several daysa-Do thohe newspaper 'men whp habitually misrepresent and in many eases actually falsify the record in order to make political capital, realize that many of the people of this country read little else than the pepers.

The entertainment was one of rare merit and if the rest of the series are as good and as en- tertaining as thie one the people of town will certainly be very much indebted to the Hurons and should show their. appreciation of their enterprise by patroniziug these en- tertainments most liberally, as under very heavy expeese the football boys have en- deavored to seeure the best available talent. As we have said, the entertainment on Fri- day evening was much above the average.

Mies Stewart had been suffering some time from soirie inward trouble. Her trouble had developed to such an extent that it was found necessary for her to undergo an operation. The oper- ationwas performed with the be t skill man could devise, but it proved too uch for her constitution and as a result he sufferings ended in death on Wednesday o last week. Miss Stewart .was of a very chee ful disposi- tion and beloved by all who kne her. The funeral procession to MeTaggarte cemetery, on Friday, was exceptionally large, there being over one hundred vehicles in the pro- cession, tehtifying to the respec of the de- ceased and family. Her death, though ex- pected, was somewhat sudden a d has cast a gloom over the entire neighbor oode The parents and family have the-sym athy a all who knew her. • 0 - Molesworth.
