On taking the prescrlbed oath of gflice. and subscribing thereto, the canned ye- solved itself into a court. of revision, With the leave in the chuir. OPS COURT OF The appeal docket, was happily a. short one, were being only two appeals 8428:1085 assessment, seven names L0 be added so the roll. one to be changed and Lwo to be struck ofl. Mr. Walter Curtis, tenant of the n.w.qr. of lot 17 and s.w. qr. of 18,. in the let con., was the first appellant, and stated that his assesisment Was about $600 to high. He named other farms which he said are much more valuable than it, owing to their location and improved condition, that have been assessed from year to year much lower, although their occupants had none of the drawuacke he had to contend against. The court, after comparing the assessment with that of other well knOWn iarins, did not consider it above Value, but thoueht some of the others too low. Thev desired to equalize the assessment. but were of opinion that the greater part of the township is aSeeesed too low, since the act requires that the assessment be up to actual value. Mr. By rues then moved that Mr. Curtis’ aSscasmenb be reduced $700 so conform with outlets that: are too low. Mr. McLean neconded the motion. Mr. Hawkins moved in amendment. seconded by Mr. liickson, than is be reduced $2500. The amendment, carried, and the assessment was placed as $4,400. Mr. John Curtis, the next app pellant, was then heard. He said he did not like to find fault but felt the assessment, of n. hf. 14,0011. 4, and n. w. pt. 14, con. 5. was higher than that of other lamds, which in his opinion are beLLer Lhun his, and much better improved. Mr. McLean said he considered the land‘ in the 4th 0011., Such as the Meehnn and Perkin terms, as good as any in (he let Concession, though some of the latter have always been Hemâ€"Seed much higher. He believed that the Perkm piece we: low at $4,300, while the Meehrm farm was much too low at $4,100. If Mr. Curtm had appealed against the assessment of edjonn- mg lands as being too low the court could 05in raise them. \ViLh regard to the 15 acres of Perkin land near the river, the nuspSsmeut he thought wee rather high at, $500, and moved that it be reduced {5100. Mr. Hawkins seconded the motion, whicn Was carried. Seven manhood fram h'se names, vouch- ed for by Mr. D.“ 1d \Valker, were then added to Lhe roll with; u! diasent, and on motion by Messrs. Byrnes and Hawkrus, the names of Geo. E. Robinson and \\ m J. Robinson, ansesaed as farmers’ sons for lot2 ,con. 9, were smock off the list, bemg nou- -residencs and domiciled elsewhere.

Perrin of the east ward and with the first contingent to Africa writes to his mother from the hospital at Dedar. He was wounded in the knee. The Boer handkerchief is at this office. It is a small linen one with blue border an inch-and-a- half wide.

Dear Brother, â€"I suppose you have re- ceived the letter I wro'e to mother when we cast anchor in Table Bay. It is just two weeks to-day since we were brought to shore and this is one of the prettiest places I ever set eyes upon. The popula- (-lOD of the town is between 55 and 60 thousand. There is 15,000 soldiers in camp here ‘now and troop-3 coming and coins: every day; and 1,000 refugees and 1,230 Boer prisoners and more coming all the time. so it makes this a very crowded and busv place.

A LETTER FROM TROOPER EAGLESON Troopgr Eagleson writes as follows to his mozher 1n town : DEAR NICTHER,â€"X on will see by the address that, I am a. long distance from where I wrote the last time. On Monday, Apr$19cn we got orders to leave at. once for Bloemfontein. We were on the train three nights and two days and all Lhe time under arms. At night, we slepc with ban- dohers on and our rifles by on; side. \\’e 201: off the train it, Bechulie and here our troubles began. \Ve got orders to escort a large convoy to Bloemfontein. about 125 miles distant, and all through the enemy’s country. If you have read the papers, you will have noticed an account or a large railway bridge being blown up by the Boers on the Orange river. It was here that our march started. We passed several other smaller ones on our way here, but this was the neatest job of all. It was an eight span bridge, but now of the eight only three remained sanding, the others lying douhlod up in the bottom of the river. The diti'erentl camping places on the march were, Springfonbein. Kilfontein, Jaggersfontein, Krug‘r's Siding, 'Eden- hurgh, Bethany. Kaffir River, Le ar’s Camp and Bloemfontein. We had to 'eep a pretty sharp lookout all along. and al~ though there was not; a. shot fired, we cantured several prisoners armed with rifles and ammunition. \Vhere we are now, and even while I am writing this, the ahells can be heard burst- ing on the hilla about; 12 miles away. I have been transferred from the C.M.R. to General Hubton’s stxfi‘ aa a. deapatch carrier. 1 have no very hard work to do, and am living on the beat. The rest. of our squadron left. for the front this afternoon and I guess by this time they are into the fun. ' I haye heard of Col. Hughes several times smce I have been here, although I have never seen him This is an awful counfrv to live in. At night one is almost frozen and in the day time almost roasted.

All slam: the marsh from Bethulie we have had no tents, and most of the night no blankets. We slept in our great costs with the sky for a. tent, but I don' t mind that at all now, as I have become quite seasoned to it. Our bill of fare was someWhat elaborate. It consisted of : Break fast, bully beef. hard tack and very weak cofl‘ee. Dinnerâ€"Bully beef and hard tack. Supperâ€"hard tack and weak tea. Hard rack is sea biscuit. and to break it; you have to use a. mallet, or even an axe Everything up hpre is very dear. Occas- ionally butter can be bought for 3s per 1b., and all other things are equally as dear, and the quality is not; very good. The butter and cheese etpecially can be spotted at. almost; any distance. The country. as far as I have seen, is nothing but a desert cowl-ed with thou- sands of ant hills. Theee sometimes are: from four to five feet high and as hard as a rock. When broken in any place swarms of them come out. From a distance they look like stooked grain in a field. and at the most are not more than fifteen feet apart. Besides this. the country is lined with kopjes or small hills. These are from one hundred to two hundred feet hich and Very rocky, with a level patch on top. It is peculiar that the mountains here have no peaks like others 1 have seen. but are all flatrtopped.

Thirty children came out to Lindsay and were distributed among families in the country round about. This holiday to many of these children was the greatest treat of their lives, and every week during the past winter the workers in Toronto have been rejoiced to hear of the happy time they had in their visit to the country. Many a poor sickly life was refreshed and strengthened. and much that they saw in the christian homes Where they stayed they tried to COPY- , A Could. you have seen these children when they came off the train, pale-faced and wan, small in stature and care-worn, and then again looked upon their happy faces brown and filled out with health, carrying in their arms flowers and various bundles substantially packed, as they left for home again two weeks later, you could scarcely believe they were the same children. One case is worth mentioning. A girl exzht or nine years old had lain on a couch on her back for months during the previous fall and winter, and was rapidly going into decline. Her mother consented to let her go to the country and the two weeks there worked wonders. In a few days she was able to run about and before returning home was so much improved in health that her mother could scarcely recognize her. This is only one instance of many that could be told, when the holiday proved a. great blessing. , As many kind people in this district did much for this good work last Year, and others signified their willingness to assist, some extracts from the report of last sum- mer’s work may be of interest. If people in the country could look into such homes and see the circumstances and surroundings of these needy children their hearts would yearn with sympathy to do something to bring alittle sunshine into their lives. The committee in Toronto guarantee, as far as possible, that the children sent will be free from disease and perfectly clean, as well as respectably clothed. They bear the travelling expenses, and only ask the friends willing to take the children to meet them at the nearest railway station and see them safely in the train again 11an their retprn journey. The Good Work Accomplished Last Summer in this District The ages of these boys and girls range from eight to sixteen and they are willing to assist in the work around the house and on the farm. The? are sent two by two to the different homes for the sake of com- pany to each other, as they are apt to get homesick it alone. The committee in Toronto would like to send the children out as early in July as possible.
