He had left Dorset for home, and when near the Longford camp broke the tongue of his wagon. After unhltchinar he placed his wife on one horse and mounting the other proceeded on his way. ‘ In pass~ ing over a. short cross-way once! the logs The distracted wife procured the assist- ance of her brother, and returning to the scene of the accident brought the remains home. Much sympathy is ms for the afflicted wife and‘reiatives. ' 25 â€"Last week a man named Dagg, em. ployed by Nichole 8:. Diament skidding logs in the woods at Dorset, was accidently killed. He was working behind a large 102, when he slipped, and the log rolling over him he was crushed to death almosb instantly. The remains were taken to his former home near Minden for interment. â€"Saturday morning last Mr. Wm. Thompson, Master Howard Thompson and Geo. McKay were decending a steep hill, near the Longford lumber camp in Dorset, 3ina wagon. When near the bottom the neckioke broke, and the rig coming on the horses heels caused them to run away. fhe rig was upset and the oczupants pitched out. McKay hung on to the lines and stopped the team after being dragged some distance. He sustained several bruises and a bad shaking up. The others escaped injury. England is doing 5n South Africa. Yet there is much to be said for the Boers They are offenders through ignorance and deserve the most merciful correction pos- sible." Referring to Canada’s duty the preacher said, “We are loyal to the Empire and should make our loyalty known, but this is no time for making political capital, vituperation and appeals to racial hatreds. There is a cheap patriotism that exists only in words â€"sentimental claptrap that is not patrzotism at all." â€"With an eye for live topics, that is the characteristic of the pastor of St. And- reW's. Rev. Mr. Macmillan made extended reference to the Transvaal war in his serâ€" won on Sunday night. His remarks were to the fo)"0‘-Ving effect: “I believe England is jncz lilcd in this war.

Colonial soldiers ' will be no more efl'ective than British‘ regulars, nor will the addition of two or three thousand mén make any par- ticular or valuable acquisition to the: 0f formidable army oeing equipped by S' the Imperial government. The colon- ' ies are not sending their soldiers" be- d, cause they th1nk the Empire is in or peril. Their Spontaneous and ,unani. mous offer is the product of sentiment, 5t and of a sentiment that is comparatively ‘11 new. Such an offer would not have 5, been made before the Jubilee. On that occasion while the loyalty of the it outlying parts of the Empire was pro- bably not increased, )et it did take on an enthusiastic, demonstrative element that is destined to have an important bearing on the future of Great Britain. In Canada we have cne example of its 3 effect in an attempt at preferential trade with the Motherland, and in the offer of a contingent to fight the Boers it is again and more dramatically illus- trated. The mustering of colonial soldiers is picturesque. It appeals to ' the imagination. It is novel anzl stirs new and stimulating emotions in us. Though novel, romantic, pictures que and dramatic, it has in it elements of value. It will strengthen our loyalty as action always ' builds emotions into character. It will give us a personal S and direct interest in the afl'airs of Great Britain that is the necessary and wholesome forerunner of Imperial federation. To outside nations it may well be an indication of the military unity and resourcefulness of the Em- pire. If they ever doubted it, they may now be assured that in the day of peril the colonies, with impetuous ,mignt, will come from over all the seas ‘and gird about with triple rings of steel and flame, the Motherland. Their young strength will reinforce Imperial power, and side by side and back to back shall Britain and her offspring wagea bloody combat with the WOer till victory comes, or at the crack of doom both she and all her enemies sink down in hideous overthrow.
