A picnic of the combined Metho- dist Sunday Schools of Priceville and the Stone Settlement was held on Tuesday last in Patterson’s grove on the town line, of Glenelg and Artem- esia.From the extensive preparations made it was expected to be a great success. A picnic of the St. Columbia Pres- byterian Sunday School, of Price ville, is to be held in John Mather’s grove on Wednesday, this week. We are afraid two such so close together will not work satisfactorily. If we might offer a suggestion for the future, would it not be advisable for those in charge of these annual outings to combine and make one picnic fill the bill.

MR. EDITOR AxD anxns: Now again, for a few lines to far- away Canada to let you know how we fare in this land of veldt and kepje. We left Cape Town shortly after my last letter left and were taken to Durban by boat. We were about four days crossing over and had to wait six days out- side the harbour owing to a. high sandbar after all had to be taken in on lighters, sixty horses to a load and men enough to look after them. Once ashore we had them all en- trained and left Durban about 9 p. m. and reached the Tugela river about three in the morning where we had to unload our horses and sad- dles and wait for daylight, after which we saddled up, crossed the river at the ford and make up for camp. After feeding our horses we had breakfast about 9 o’clock. This con- sisted of hard tack and cofiee, which we were all glad to get hold of for we were pretty nearly starved on the boatâ€"just got so much and stuff not fit to eat at that, After a. week’s stay here orders came to move up countrv and We went as far as Eshowe, the capital of Zululand. Just around here is a bit of nice country but between Tugela and Eshowe the country is very hilly and rocky and the only cultivation there is on it is where the natives have their little bit of garden. The women, like other savage races, do all the work on the farm such as it is, while the men go to town and get work there for a while. When the men get pretty well off they think theyzneed more help, why then, the matter is settled by the man tak- ing another Wife. They have to pay for them out here, and the article costs from 5 to 20 cows, so I have come to the conclusion I will have to do without one here and wait till I get back where timev give them away or can be had for the court- ing!!! We stayed at Eshowe a couple of days to rest our horses and the next orders were that we were going back again. We were in heavy marching order and made Durban in 3 days, about 100 miles, and the weather was very warm after we crossed the Tu- gela. The countryon the way back was not so rough and more cultiva- ted, a great many Coolie Indians, who are cheap laborers, are employed. There are great fields of sugar cane, which seems to do well and plenty of fruitâ€"oranges, bananas, pine apples, etc. Near Chievely camp there is anew graveyard where I counted 150 new graves though that wasn ’t all of our lads who there sleep their last sleep, â€"fallen in the empire’s fight for the liberty and equality of her subjects. After a day’s rest in Durban we entrained for Newcastle at 4:30 and reached there next evening about 10 o’clock. On our way up we passed the place where Buller had been hav- ing such hard~ fighting with the enemy. All the bridges and culverts along the railroad have been blown up and wrecked to pieces, and in the mean- time temporary tracks are laid round about them. The big bridge at Col- enso was blown to atoms and is a hard looking wreck, close by where Gen. Buller lost his big guns. It’s hard to imagine the difficulty they have had ‘in driving them out from there. The breast-works of stone, the trenches, the rocky mountains, are something terrible. \Ve reached Ladysmith early in the morning and stopped to feed. I ex- pected to see quite a large place but was disappointed to find it much the other way. They had strong breast works of stone, sand bags and trenches, and one must admire the courage which could hold out so long in a place surrounded nearly on all sides with rocky mountainsâ€"fine hiding places for'tbe Boers. We stayed a day in Newcastle to] refresh our horses, a day on the train being‘ harder than a day’s march. ‘ Most of the houses are vacant, butl some stayed right through it all and! were glad to see us coming through. 1 ‘Ve left here Tuesday morning and; followed up the trail where Buller: had driven the enemy through the ‘ pass, and a pretty rough one some of‘ it was. There were several other grave yards along the trail. Before An Interesting Letter from Mr. G. W. Ledingham, flow in Service in South Afnca as a Member of the Strathcona Horse. ‘ FROM THE TRANSVAAL. Transvaal, Standerton, June 15th, 1900. we went through the pass, or Laing’s Nek, where Buller had the hard stand, was the graveyard of the soldiers who fell at the bloody fight of Majuba Hill in 1881. A bxtter memory now avenged. We crossed the border into the Tranvaal Wednesday at noon and since then have hada very fine piece of open prairie to go through making good time 05 our march. We reach- ed Standerton Friday evening and have camped here since, but expect to go on in a day or two as we hear that the Boers are making a stand for us about 30 miles up. There are quite a few Boers where we are stay- ing, all disarmed though, and a sentry put over every house in town. One of the outpost sentries was shot on Saturday by a. sniper and died shortly after. It is now time I was drawing this long letter to a close and I hope I may hear something of some import- ance to write you next time. ‘Vith this poor collection of news I remain as ever. We were out on a scouting exped-i ition the other day to find out what was going on back from the trail. After getting out into the Open coun- tr;r we extended 400 yards between sections so that we covered a big area of country before we got back. There was a few prisoners captured, but most of the places they were“1 contented to live in peace and give up their arms. After riding about ‘20 or 253 miles we thought it about time to be getting back to camp which we reached about 8 o’clock and were ready for a good snpper of‘ hard tack, bully beef and tea. I Listowel is giving $1750 for four races, three trots and a run each day, on Thursday and Friday, August; 9 and 10. The track is excellent and the best horses will all be there. Single Fare and one third on rail- ways, Admission 25c. On Friday evening last the lifeless body of Mr. John Galbraith, who lived on the Toronto line two miles west of this place, was found by Mr. C. C. James, of Priceville. on the roadside opposite Mrs. Geo. Stew- arts in the suburbs of the village. Mr. Galbraith had been that after- noon and evening in Ceylon. calling at the hotel here about 10:80 p.m. Between 10:30 and 11 o’clock p.m. Rev. Mr. Ward, who was returning from a garden party, passed a single horse and wagon moving leizurely along a few rods west of where the body was found but in the darkness discovered nothing wrong other than no driver in sight whom he thought might be reclining in the wagon box. A few minutes later the horse was met by Mr. James who, coming up to the scene of the accident, noticed a man’s hat in the dust and upon closer examinatien that there was the body of a man in the ditch. Just then Mr. W. Sinclair, of this place. who had also met the horse and wagon, rode up on his wheel and after secur- ing a light immediately recognized the form to be that of John Gal- braith then apparently lifeless. Mr. Sinclair hurried for Dr. Carter, who was shortly upon the scene and pro- nounced life extinct. death having in all probability been instantaneous and caused by falling from the wag- gon on~the top of his head which was slightly out and the only place mark- ed on the body. At the place where the accident occurred the road is good and well rounded up with the grad- er. The wagon tracks show that the horse at this point deviated towards the ditch and the incline would ap- pear to have caused the occupant to have lost his balance and fall head- long with the above result. His re- mains were interred with Orange honors in the public cemetery here on Sunday afternoon. The funeral was largely attended by the Orange- men of this district. Rev. Mr. Ward was the officiating clergyman. Deceased was sixty-nine years of age and leaves a widow and a grown up family to mourn his untimely end.-â€"Flesherton Cor. HBlstein.
