Globe by a correspondent, are inter- esting. Leaving Toronto in March, 1848, the writer, with his brother, started o~ a tramp up north, our objective | being St. Vincent, Grey County. We rode the first part of the way by stage behind a balky horse as far 3s Newmarket. Leaving there, we walked on to Holland Landing. Pro- ceeding, we arrived at a tavern képt by a man named Kelley, on the edge of Pine Plains. There I rmember tasting my first coming out from bed was like I forget, being too tired to care. We were glad to get a straw bed in those early days. After a good night's sleep we pi ded, en- tering Pine Plains, or ('Fourteen- mile Woods" as'it was thew salied. I well remember the long tramp through those dense pines, ever in "the shade, and the scarcity of water. We walked miles, finally coming to a small creek cr d by a log bridge. Here we quenchied our thirst. We continued our journey, and the next place reached was Jimmy Jack's, a well-known fipure in those days. They had nothing to give us to eat but saleratus biscuit baked many days before and tasting sour. Tea and coffee fit to drink were, unknown | in those woods, but I remember he | hdd a good well of water, where we |# refreshed ourselves. Those were the days mep endured hardships, get to eat, sleep on any kind of bed --no field kiteben to supply us with soup, nor ambulance waggons to fol- low us up in case we fel out on the trail. Yet who would give yp the thoughts of those early days, the per- fume of those pine woods, the peace- fulness, the freedom, for the present days, when everything is military and the tramp of fighting man and the poun< of guns fills the land. An old man can only pray that the children of this generation and their children's children may see the day | when war is blotted out and men may believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Apple Crop Disappointing. +The apple crop of Ontario will promised," reports Mr. P. W. Hodg- etts, Director of the Fruit Branch of the Ontario Department of Agricul: ture. "The 'drop' has been exceed- ingly heavy, and some sections have suffered severely from hail. About Oshawa a recent hailstorm covered a territory of ten square miles, and some of the best orchards in that dis. trict suffered wvery serious Injury. Taking the Province as a whole | look for something a good deal better than last year's very light yield." "The apple crop in our district will not be materially different from that of last year, which means that we will not have more than 30 per cent, of a normal yield," says Mr. C. Gurney of Brant county. "Spraying was very much neglected in our sec: tion, and the June drop was heavy."

Daughtdk of Battalion Sergt.-Major Dower of the 154th Escaped From His Clutches--Whole Battalion Makes Search, Cartwright"s Point was searched | on Tuesday for some trace of a man who made improper advances to the thirteen-year-old daughter of Battal- ion Sergt.-Major Dower of the 154th Battalion at Barriefield Camp on Tuesday morning. Battalion Sergt.-Major Dower and his family are camping at Deadman's Bay, along with many officers of the 154th, just outside the lines of the 154th. Early in the morning the daughter of the sergeant-major was sept up with a note to her father from one of the officers. She de- cided that the quickest way to reach him would be through Cartwright's bush and accordingly went that way. On the road up she met a soldier in fatigue uniform on his way down to the bay for a swim. The soldier stopped and started to talk to her and to make improper advances. She tried to run away, as the man at- tempted to seize her, and was able to reach her home where she informed her mother as to what had happened. Mrs. Edwards immediately went to Sergt. Hollister of the Pioneers and asked for help. At this time the 154th Battalion was engaged in squad drill on the plain. They stopped drill and organized into bands to search for the miscreant. The bush was scoured but no trace has been found of him. The little girl is a great favorite with all the soldiers and every effort is being made to secure the sculprit so that he shall receive the punishment he rves. Sse is thought that after his action | the man may have gone into the lines { of some other battalion and is now [in hiding. Joseph McKeown and a { military policeman are able to iden- tify the man if they should happen to see him. A description has been sent out and there seems to be-no doubt at the Camp but what he will be apprehended.
