This Leaves the Village Without Any Hotel Accommodation--Un- veiling of Honor Roll in Grace Methodist Church (Special to the Whig) Napanee, July 11.----Whilst com- ing toward Napanee from Deseronto, near the cemetery, with his car, J. H. Vanalstine, Napanee, met with an accident which resulted in the front of his car being badly smashed. In turning out to pass another vehicle, he lost control of the car, which crashed into a telephone pole and rebounded into a wire fence, luckily without injury to the occupants of the car, who escaped with a shaking. The car was later towed into Nap- anee for repairs. Early on Tuesday morning fire broke out in the Fuller House, New- burgh, and consumed the whole building. It appears that the pro- prietor, Harold Fuller, was having a large quantity of meat roasted in preparation for the Orange celebra- tion to be held there on Wednesday, and it is surmised that the overheat-| ed stove was the cause of the con-| tlagration.

The first is that, although their advance was, in fact, much more ra- pid, the French infantry showed ad- mirable circumspection, whereas in some cases parties our men raced ahead, were cut off, and lost heavily in consequence. The other fact is that the enemy caverns and machine gun shelters appear to have been de- stroyed. more effectually 'by the French than by the British prepara- tory bombardment. 7 The military censors of both coun- tries wisely passed evidence on both points, and since they are among the cardinal points of the tactical conduct of an offensive and our-soldiers have time, inclination, and interest to learn morning things seem about normal.
