A despatch from Simla says:â€"Deâ€" tails from the Maiden valley show that the loss of General Kempster‘s brigade is quite serious. The force consisted of the Dorsetshire Regiment and rogi- ments of Sikhs and Goorkhas. The in- surgent tribesme‘n made their usual attack upon the rear guard. but were brilliantly repulsed by the Sikhs. The Dorsetshires lost their way in the darkness. and were cut off by the one- my. Lieutenanis Bales and Crook and nine men were killed. The rest of the Dorsetshires attached themselves to the Sikhs, and arrived in camp in safety. Lieut, \Vylie, of the Goorkhas and Lieut. \Varne. of the Sikhs, and four- teen Sikhs and Goorkhas. were killed. Colonel Abbott,Cuptain C-unstance and Lieut. Munn were wounded. and 28 Sikhs and Goorkhas were wounded. This shows that 58 men were placed hors de combat ,in this affair, namely. 27 officers and men killed. and 31 offi- cers and men wounded. Two companies of Sikhs. holding the spur of the hill, were so fiercely as- saulted that they had to call for min- forcements. Col. Haughion. with the remainder of the Sikh regiment. rush- ed to their support. The whole force withdrew gradually. fighting every slap .to the valley. Dusk had now sci in and the enemy was crowding the Bri- tish on all sides. Col. Haughion de- termined to camp for the night. and sent five companies to storm a couple of blockbouscs. The Sikhs drove out. the enemy iii; the point of the bayonet. , Six were killed and many wounded dur- ing this charge.

The story of Miss Farley’s ‘rife in not. perhaps, romantic. At least in it there is no tale of love, unless it be that of broad love for: humanity.

On a Saturday morn- ing, forty-three days after that loss, her father, who wanted to remarry. told her, while seated at the breakfast table that unless she left the house within twentyâ€"four hours hewould put her out. Miss Farley was but little surprised. Her father had always been a. stern man in the family, and for some time before his wife’s death evinced but little interest. in her. The daughter LEFT HER HOME . with hardly a tithe of. her share in the fortune which had been her mother's and three. months later her youngest brother, George James Farley, then aged 16. was sent adrift in air equally. unceremonious manner.
