Barbarous Act of Cruelty of Hessian Hessian Soldiers. During tihe rebellion which occurred occurred in Ireland in 1797 Kilkenny was garrisoned by a regiment of Hessian Hessian soldiers, whose custom it was to tie together in one of their, barrack barrack rooms two cats by their respective respective tails, and then throw them face to face across a line generally used for drying clothes. The cats naturally became infuriated, and scratched each in the abdomen until until death ensued to one or both of them. The officers were made acquainted acquainted with the barbarous acts of cruelty,. and resolved to speedily put .an end; to them. For this purpose purpose an officer ' was ordered to inspect inspect each barrack room daily and to report its state. The soldiers, determined not to lose tihe daily torture torture of the cats, generally employed employed one of their comrades to watch the approach of the officer. On one occasion he neglected his duty, and the officer was heard ascending the stairs while the cats were undergoing undergoing their customary torture. One of the troopers seized a sword from the arm rack, and with a single blow divided the tails of the cats. The cats escaped through the open windows of the room, which was entered' entered' instantly afterwards by the. officer, who inquired what was the cause of tihe two bleeding cats' -tails being suspended on 'tihe line, and was told in reply that ' 'two cats had been Aghting in the room, 'that it was found impossible to separate them, and they fought so desperately desperately that they had devoured each other up with the exception of tiheir" two tails." ^ Parts His Name, Too.

Is; history a science or an art ? Should it be written hy patient diggers and •students of documents or by ; men of imagination and literary gifts? ■Should every statèipent be based on .records or may tid^'historian go tô fiction, drama, press gossip, social tradition for - re-enforcement- and interpretation of records and dusty files ? t I- I The Fat Little Birds. Once upon a time there were six little fat birds, and they sat on tihe shore of a big blue. sea. One of the fat little birds said to the others, "Let.us go over to Africa to live. I hear the worms there walk right into'your mouth as soon as you open it, and that they have a very fine flavor." The other fat little birds said, "We would gladly go, but our wings are so small, and it's so far to Africa that we should drown in the sea long before we got there." So they talked it over and decided that they would have to wait until some one came along to carry them over. After a while a big fish came swimming by.- "Will you carry us -to Africa?" cried the six little fat birds. "I will carry you to .the very bottom of the sea," said the fish, and he darted down through the water as swift as an arrow. "My !" said the little fat birds, "how glad we are that we did not go with him !" Soon a sheep came along the shore and the birds asked if he would carry them over to Africa. But the sheep told them that he could not swim, but wait until the cranes came. But the birds did not know about the cranes, so the sheep told them that they were big birds with long bills, long legs, and still longer necks. "Once every yejpc they come from the north and fl^ to Africa, land they always carrj| small birds like you." So the birds waited and soon they heard a great rushing noise overhead, overhead, and, looking up, they saw a flock of cranes flying very low over the beach. And on every back were little birds hanging on tight with beaks and claws. The fat little birds politely asked to be taken w'ith them ; and one of the cranes said, "All right, hold on tight," and soon they were oh and off for Africa. Now, this part of the story is true, children, for cranes do really carry small birds over the Mediterranean * Sea every year-- but I'm not so certain that the worms walk right into little birds' mouths. What do you think? Lord Haldane contends that history history is a combination of science and art. The historian cannot neglect ; . i documents, but he may hiss the essence and spirit of a great change or event if he relies on documents alone. He must know how to recreate recreate a situation and atmosphere. He must, like an artist, hold up the mirror to nature and understand events and leading figures as a contemporary contemporary of insight and acumen understands them. The truth of history is the truth of poetry and art, not the truth of mere science. V VJA.X provide old age your sayings should _.!>©:• y-jMid profitably invested in interest bearing secur- sties.

S, Williamson, D.D., of Niagara Falls, Ont. , x -, FOURTH ARTICLE Continued frofix page Â. Additions and Corrections P.S. My brother Sélah M. Williamson# now 88, yçars of age, living in v Milwaukee; was born before my father (fame to Canada Canada and should have .beein riàme d : as one of the earliest Settiers still living. He has corrected some things in my first letter. A r mong the first settlers was the father of the late Wm. Smith and grandfather of John W. of Oshawa. . He lived on the Smith farm near wKére tîie présent school house now stands. His was the first death in "the neighborhood, and I am sure " the first one buried in the Potter burying ground. I do not remember him, but I well remember his widow when I was very young. The sawmill at the big hill west was not built by Mr. Lindsay, but by one Ezra Crary whom I never knew. My father's brother, Truman Williamson, Williamson, came as a voung man soon after my father and married a Miss Lelly Smith, a sister of Wm. Smith, and they lived first on what I call the "ten acre clearing", near where the Campbell steam sawmill was built, and it was my uncle,who cleared cleared the ten acres and built the; house. When he removed my father bought the land he had taken up. The first wedding in the neighborhood was Mr. Geo. Haves' who lived near4he big hollow as we tfaïîed it, the bride being Miss Juliana Stevens Of East Whitby, near Perryman's school. Our -large family have all" "crossed the river" except SelaTi and Rev. H.B. Palmer, Palmer, another half-brother in Ohio, and the writer who was the baby in the home. NOTES OF S. S. NO. 17 Miss Ellen Conlin, who is now Mrs. John Hart, lives in Oshawa. John Avery owns the - old Hepinstall farm and Harry Rahm live s on it. Can any person give a complete list of school teachers in S. S. No. 17? Yankee Elliott, who lived at Campbell's steam mills, was a well-known character and story-teller. Who was the girl-wrestler who laid out the Chatyauguay youth ? Can any one settle this question ? The Thomases nearly all moved to Brooklin from this section where Stephen M. carried on a general store for fnany years. _ Two lady teachers taught in this section; section; one of them was called Mrs. Tueffe or Tuffe. Mr. Somerville taught after John Jessop. Mr. Pickell from near Oshawa Oshawa was first teacher in the new school- house. " Mrs. Ormiston says she, remembers these ministers who preached at Union Church: Revs. J. C. Slater, Bryers, Hunter, Hunter, T. Cannom, Geo. Cochrane, McCann, W. McFaddyn, Thos. Cosford and Chambers. Chambers. Who can furnish more names ? An old pupil of S. S. 17 says one day the present Dr. J. S. Williamson was cutting cutting up, and his half-brother, Jerry Palmer, who was teacher, sent him out for an armful armful of wood and when he came in ordered him to hold it in his arms till he was well tired--an.other example that mischievous boys make good men sometimes. Howland & Campbell built the steam mill in 1854. Some years after it was rim by Plum & Fairchilds, the former living at the mill and the latter in Bowmanville. Alfred and Hiram Campbell later owned the mill and ran it before their brother B. F. Campbell, came into the management. management. The last man to own the mill and operate it was William Wadge. This property is now owned by Mr. Knapp. It has been suggested by one man that perhaps Miss Mary Ann Hall, now Mrs. John Ormiston, Brooklin, was the girl who laid out the Chateauguay champion wrestler, but while she could upset a fellow in quick order in her young days, as the editor can testify, Miss Hall was known as a champion speller, and more than once "stood on the deck whènee all but she had fled" by order of the giver-out-ofwords. giver-out-ofwords. She was one of the bright students students when the present Dr. Jesse A. Campbell Campbell was teacher in S. S. No. 17 back in the late sixties. Difference of opinion exists as to what lady was the wrestler. One authority says her name was Ferris, who lived north of Enniskillen. Another name given us is Miss Mahaffie who lived with William Ranton. Girls in those days were so strong and active thru doing so many kinds of work that many of them were a match for fheir brothers and schoolfellows. They could run like deer and leap over fences as slick as a fawn. Indeed, lots of t u em could do more things than men because because they could do all kinds of indoor work and help the men with their ordinary ordinary farm work too. Dr. Williamson told about hauling the lumber to Bowmanville. Daily trips were made and Robert Smith had the contract. Three teams were employed driven by "himself, his brother William and George Willard, father of Mr. Wm. Willard, merchant, Port Perry. Most of the old farm buildings in northwest Darlington Darlington were built of lumber sawed at Campbell's steam mills. One of the latest farmers to haul large quantities of lumber from these mills was the late William Leask, south of Bradley's - schoolhouse. Mr. James Leask lives on the farm now. The late Mr. Jonathan Bray, Enfield, was the contractor who built many of the barns in the northern part of the township. township. ^ One of the good-sized families of those days was - William Smith's, whose wife was Mary McCullough, of Chateauguay. Both came from Scotland in 1832 and landed at Skey's Corners, now Oshawa. In 1836 Mr. Smith took possession of a Clergy Reserve lot of 100 acres on the 9th concession and hewed out a home -in the forest. ^In 1839 he took Mary McCullough McCullough as life partner, and to them were born six sons and five daughters--James, Mary, John, Margaret, Harriett, Ellen, William (the Second) Elizabeth and Alexander. Alexander. _Johri, Margaret, Elizabeth and Alexander are still living, John W. Smith of Oshawa is one of the few veterans of the Fenian Raid now alive. James got the homestead and lived there several years be foré moving to Oshawa where he was a leading public man and church official. Wm. Smith, father of this well- known family, used to tell the boys of carrying his first sack of oatmeal for porridge porridge on his back from Hon. T. N.
