Thvy Did Not Hold Strung Partition. Any- whore Near Leeuw Kop. Leouw KOp, April 23. â€" The Be- rs retired from their positions here so hurriedly that, they left a quantity of ammunition and many rifles ocmnd them. When the Warwickshire Regi- ment took the farm house at the foot of the ridge, the Boers' pom-poms in- flicting no damage, the Welsh Regi- ment advanced along the Warwick- shire’s left and approached the ridge, experiencing a cross-lire. It appOaX‘S that General Dickson met with Opposition, the Boers firing their rifles at long range. Their po- sition was one of great natural strength. I Gen. i’ole-Cnrew’s admirable dis- position of his force thor- oughly puzzled the Boers, who were unable to see the direction of the at- ack, owing to a deep spruit. Situation at \Varriugton.

Artillery can be heard in the di- rection of Dewetsdorp, but there is no sign that the British relief col- umn in thai quarter has advanced further. The natives report that another British force has been despatched from Bloemfontein. If so the posi- tion of the Boers around Wepener is precarious.

The Canadian Mounted Infantry sent to reconnoitre the Boer position approached within 300 yards of a farm flying the hospi- tal flag, under cover of which the Boers opened such a hot fire that they were unable to attempt to re- tire, until another force of Can. - dians covered their retreat by threax ening the rear of the Boer position.

Duo] D'r Ivasavcu, O‘DJD VIA. “UL“. Them can be no happiness unless it is free from sin; therefoe there can be no peace. The full possession of pleasure cannot onuteut the heart of man. Those who wander from God find only what will make them restless. Worldly honors all have one object, 0‘ e's own happiness false or true; man and all he possesses shall pass away. Solomon tried to derive happiness from riches; he said: “I shall build great works, I shall establish great houses and vineyards, and fill them with men-servants and maid-servants, and gold and silver. But they brought him noth- ing but vexation of spirit. "Vanity of vanities and all is vanity." The only true happiness, is in the Creator, who is the way, the truth and the life. There is no go ing without the way. no knowing without the truth, and no living without the life. While we adore Him and reverence His law. we find contentment; reason teaches created man to place his confidence in God. “The Lord is sweet to those who love Him.” Whv does Christ say so often “peace be to you?" Because, He came on earth to establish peace between God and ‘ man. Also with our neighbor in doing‘ unto others, as we would that they should do unto us. God did as much for one as for all, and as much for all as one. Let us try to have a good conscience and to serve God sincerely. and let us live uprightly in this world, that we may receive the heavenly welcome from our Lord, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, be- cause thou hast been faithful over few things, I will place you over many, enter into the joy of the Lord.” During Lent, my dear friends, the church appeals to you through her solemn offices to leave the ways of sin, and to re- turn to Christ, the Good Shepherd. At Easter she invites you to go to green pastures, and clear waters, which she has ared for you and for all those who wal ri ghteously. Peacebe to you. What a speech, so beautiful and yet so simple. Before the resurrection the disciples were filled with fear, but afterwards they were filled with joy yet the resurrection, because it brought joy and Rladgess upon them. The greater our joy the greater our happi- ness in the possession of the God of It is not want of faith that keeps people from God's oeace, but conscience tells you that you have not lived up to your belief in that God. The peace of a good con- science gives you the reality of what a. Elerfect peace should be. “Receive 6 the oly Ghost. “ Lose sins you shall orgive they are f ”given,” says _Our Lord_. Synopsis of sermon by Rev. Father Ph_ela.n gt: high_m_ass on LQYVASUDQ‘PY- Gospel frofil John X X. 19 31. “Péace be toryour." The Subject of a Discourse on Sunday by Rev Father Phelan Mr. A. E. Silverwood is looking after D. 8: F, Bros.’ interest in this direction and has arrangements completed by which they can distribute overathousand sett- ings of first-class eggs. Anyone able to supply eggs that will suit the firm‘s pur- poses should notify him at once. Those desiring sittings ma write to him, or leave their orders at undas and Flavelle Bros.’ store. Already a great many orders have been received and more are coming in daily, so if you desire your name to be placed along with those who know a good thing when they see It, you must act promptly. Every person interested in hens should seize this excellent opportunity of coming at once into the possession of a. flock of birds of which they will have reason to be proud. These large birds are the ones the firm intend buying for shipment to Eng- land. It is no uncommon thing for Ply- mouth Rock chickens, four months old, to weigh from ten to sixteen poundsto the pair, and t_o bring nearly a._ dollar; Dundas and Flavelle Bros. are endeavor- ing to get the farmers of this county to choose the breeds that are most suitable for the English market. As stated in these columns a short time ago. this enter- prising tirm is making an effort to assist all who are anxious to secure a better breed of fowl. Orders have been placed with several people having well-bred and carefully-selected flocks of Wyandottes and Plymouth Books for all their eggs during the hatching season. By taking the whole output these are being obtained at prices which will enable the firm to give them to the farmers at a very low priceâ€" no_t over twenty-five cents a_do_zen. A Good Chance for the Farmers to get a fine lot of Chickens at little cost. BREEDS SUITED FOR THE ENGLISH MARKET the garrison Dissappointment at Mafeking \‘Vhen Col. Plume:- Waa Checked.
