Gra- cey, Gananoque, received the appoint- ment. He will act under the super- vision of the Union. Some of the principal objects of this work will be to straighten out irregularities with respect to church properties to with- draw from certain sections where few Presbyterian families only reside and to ask the Methodist, Congregational or Anglican churches, as the case may be, to take care of them, and where these churches are struggling with two or three families in a strong Presbyterian section, to ask them to do the same thing, thus minimizing the expenses entailed in missionary work and taking better care of the people, and generally to see that the people have constant ministerial care, The following committee was ap- pointed to look into the matter of in- stituting a Presbyterian Summer School for Eastern Ontario to be lo- cated somewhere in the Kingston Presbytery, Kingston being mention- ed as the likely place: Rev.

McKelvey Bellitold how two officers and thirty-five men from one of the western battalion captured a German trench.. For a time after « the Canadians went to France, the officer who com- manded the party was a pay-master in one of the hospital units. He was very anxious to get very close to the Germans and was made pay-master In one of the battalions serving on the firing line. After holding down that position for a short time he qualified as a grenade officer, Then he was convinced that tiaat with the assistance of thirty-five men he could capture a German trench, He told the commanding officer of the battalion what he was thinking about and asked permission to select thirty-five men from the umit. The commanding officer called the battal- ion on parade and explained the mat- ter to his men. With one voice practi- cally every member of the battalion responded to the call for volunteers. The required number were selected and underwent a training which last- ed for two months. Each man was trained as to what he should do in case the sergeant or officers were killed: It was the intention that all the barbed-wire should be cut by the artillery and then' the party would advance. One dark night the party crawled out of the trem- ches and proceeded to the German lines. Each man was furnished with a rifle, a pair of wire cutters and a hand grenade. When they arrived at the barbed-wire they found that the artillery had failed to cut it, so a Path was cut through. Upon arriving "about three feet from the German trenches, the two officers stepped on a large wooden platform, They immediately noticed that three rentries were on guard. In less time than it takes to tell the tale the board toppled aver and both offi- rs were thrown inte the German french. As the officers were carrying d ts around thelr necks they Killed the sentries and the other members of the party captured or kil- led the Germans in the dug-outs, The majority of the Germans were killed. Every member of the Canadian party returned in safety. Important Notice.

A NEW WAR BOOK THAT IS WORTH WHILE. "The First Hundred Thou- sand," By Capt. Hay, Is a Gripping Story. To-morrow the Whig will publish | one of the most interesting and in- spiring war books yet issued, "The First Hundred Thousand." - It is written by a captain in the Suther- land Highlanders who has already won the Military Cross for gallantry on the field, Graphically and grip- ingly it pictures the enrollment of Kitchener's new army, the character of men who composed it, their early abhorience of discipline and obed- ience, the patience with which they were rounded intg shape and the fin- al reswit. These men, when put in- to action alo @ of seasoned vet- erans who had been in France for a year, measured up 'to all that was expected of an Englishman. How splendidly they fought and how heroically they died is told in sen- tences that will stir the heart of ev- ery man in the far-flung British Em- ire. "The First Hundred Thousmma' is 'book Il worth reading. In a hurried review, the Whig will endeavor to-morrow to give some quotations from it which no doubt will be found interesting to thousands of our regders. Everyone Is anxious to know these days how an army is knocked into shape, how it grumbles and kicks against the iron discipline it jg subjected to, how it lives and fares both at home and in the field. These facts are splendid- ly todd in Capt. Iron Hay's new book A Splendid War Book.

FINED FOR BLOCKING PASSAGE ON ROAD. Pittsburg Farmer Would Not Allow Another To Pass Him. James Agnew, a farmer who re- sides in the township of Pittsburg, was fined $5 and costs, for blocking the public highway on April 8th and refusing James Hitchcock the right to pass along the road. He appeared béfore Justice of the Peace George Hunter on Monday morning, According to the story of James Hiteheock and his son they were re- turning from the city on the after- noon of April 8th, Mr, Agnew was also driving along the same road. Without any warning he drove in front of the complafhant and refused fo allow him to pass. Mr. Hitchcock drove into a farmer's home thinking that Mr. Agnew would drive on but he evidently waited for him a little way along the road.
