o 8 | 308 DURHAM REVIEW. for somedays but the message was a tonic that brought him to his feet. _ He conferred with Principal Allan and a few of the citizens and the decision was reached to celebrate in the afternoon. Bills were got out inviting citizens to the Town Hall at 1 p. w., the band boys were seen and they volunteered to be present, the Fire Brigade promised to don their uniform. Capt, Snider of No 4 Company of the 31st Battalion, lives 7 or 8 miles out, but be was made acâ€" quainted with the situation, and sane tion obtained for a volunteer display, which Lieut‘s Torry and J. A. Hanter set about procuring. Meanwhile whistles were blowing. and the bell on old Trinity was sending out joyful notes. _ Business places and private residences vied with each other in getling out flags and bunting, and everybody was congratulating every body eise and laying plans for Roberts to make further coupes and captures, "School kept" all forencoon but we fear anything but lessons of loyalty would be lost on pupils who had in contemplation a march under the flag. From one o‘clock the streets were taking on a gay appearance. â€" Horses were bedecked with Unioa Jacks as well as their drivers, and man and mwaiden each tried to display some loyal emblem, the "small piece of bunting" prevailing. What rolunteers could be reached and a few who never wore colors before gaihered at the drill shea and marched forth equipped but not in Khaki. The Fire Brigade with their striking helmets were in position, Mr. Connor mounted on a fiery charger. A few of those who two weeks ago reâ€" ceived medals for cheir â€"part in the warfare of ‘66 were on hand and apâ€" propriately wore â€"their decoration, These fell into limne headed by a large sleigh in which were Mayor Laidlaw, Councillors Gorsline, Guthrie and K ress, Co, Com‘s McKinnon and Allan and Joha Jack sr. with his medal. Meanwhile the pupils of Durham school strengthened by contingents from Miss Large‘s and Mr. Reid‘s school had formed in procession oyer 300 strong and came marching from the school. a little army with banners fAlying. Every luttle tot as well as the larger ones carried flags and as they waved them and cheered till their httle throats must have been sore, the scene was irresistâ€" ibly infectious and cold indeed must baye been the blood that did not give a responsive thrill and a hearty cheer to greet young Canada in eclebration, I don‘t want you to help me"! listle hero. . YOUNG AND OLD CELEBRATE WITH CREAT ENTHUSIASH. which The rumors of the t spasmodically for causing some pl Thursday, Mar. 1.â€"Farly this mornâ€" ing a telegram reached Durham "Ladyâ€" smith is relieved, this is officially confirmed," and the pent up loyalty of the town, which was not fully satisfied with such great events as the relief of Kimberly and the capture of Cronje, found vent at last. ‘The procession held up at last in front of the Town Hall, where the hband playâ€" ed patriotic airs and the volunteers fired several rounds of blank caurtridge. Mayor Laidlaw from the steps of the Hall thanked all for turning out so leoyally.~ We were all proud (1) because we were Britons, (2) because we were Canadians and rejoiced at the news reâ€" ceived that day and for some days back, Before separating he called for three found vent at This is a The procession first headed up town, band, Firemen, Volunteers, citizens, childrenâ€"cheering at intervals, and presenting, if not the largest, certainly the gayest and most enthusiastic body of marchers eyer seen in town. Up past the Revyiew office corner, down again to the skating rink, west Lambton Bt. nearly to the Station, and back to the Town Hall, and though marching was heavy owing to recent snow, not one wanted to fall out. Though little limbs were weary ard totterimg they struggled on as if the relief of Ladysmith deâ€" pended on them staying in the ranks. One little incident we saw had in it the same spirit that led Buller‘s men up the precipice at Pieter‘s hill, or that anâ€" imated our own Canadian boys in that 600 yds rush towards the Boer trenches ut Paardebetg: A little 6 or 7 year old boy waddling up the hill in the snow opposite the Fire Hall saw some little girls getting help by the hand, and as some one approached him with the same purpose, he quickly resented it, saying as he wriggled on a little faster muee on Uisun C.

The bmief intimation we were able to give in part of our issue last week that Ladysmith had been relieved proved correct, and as will be seen elsewhere, Durhuam put its best foot forward to celebrate the event, and from all parts of the empire coeme reports of aimilar jubilations. In London tie people wenut almost crazy, the long deferred hope of 117 days chasing out the everâ€" present fear of a calamity made the usually staid city tecoms as excitatle as the average Perisian mob. The following messages from the Queen to the two leaders, and the fine reply of Gen., White, yoice the sentiment of the situation :; That to Buller says : Thank God for the news you have telegraphed me. I congratulate you and all under you with all my heart. With tenderest pathos and true adâ€" miration Her Majesty catles to White and bis brave and devoted garrison : Thank God that you and all thore with you are safe after the long and trying siege, which was borne with such heroism. 1 congratulate _ you and all under you from the _ bottom of my heart. _ I trust you are all not very much exhausted. Gen. White‘s reply reminds one of the age of chivalry : Your Majesty‘s most gracious mesâ€" sage has been received by me with the deepest gratutude, and with enthustiasm by tha troops. _ Any hardships or privations are a hunâ€" _ dred times compensated by the ) sympathy and appreciation of our Quaeen, and yeur Majesty‘s message will do more to restore both officers and men than anything else, Ladysmith was ralioved just in time. Haif a lb of meal per man per day. No wonder they were emaciated and that they were uired with a twoâ€"mile march to intercept the retreating Boers. They are to receiye two weeks time to reâ€" cuperate. Not known what Buller will aim for now. _ Vuan Reenan‘s pass is guarded. t Not a hitch took place in the proâ€" ceedings, everyone was delighted, and just such gatherings taking place no doubt in every corner of our vast emâ€" pire should surely bave the effect of making Britons "at home" feel a lump in their throat, and make them deterâ€" mine to know more about their Kinsmen over the sea who can fight with those who â€" fight, rejoice. with those who rejoice and also, as we know, can weep with those who weep. LADYSMITH RELIEVED The Canadians have been receiving praise from all quarters for their splenâ€" did efforts, and British Military authorâ€" ities are proposing when peace comes to garrison S. Africa entirely with colonâ€" ials. Roverts and Kitchener are apparently quiat. _ A big battle is exâ€" pected before reaching Bloemfontein. Cronje and 5000 prisoners are at Cape Town, _ A relief force bas started for Mafeking, which is being hard pressed and another season of intoxicated reâ€" joieing would follow the announcement cfits relief. Over 100 men go from Canada with Strathcona‘s Horse to make good losses in killed and wounded in action. Joubert is certainly to oppose Robâ€" erts‘ advance and Boer operations are now. except at Mafeking., entirely on the defensive. Nortbern CapeColony is now almost clear of tiem, and future baitles will not be on British territory. . ... â€"< The British Parliament has voted $300,000,000 for war expenses, and 50,fQOO more troops go out this month. Presidents Kruger and and Stevon, and the Africander Bund are still in a war mood, though a peace pressure is visible. The space given to vlâ€"o-é;xlâ€"-d-émonstra- tions compel us to abridge and omit this week much interesting matter. â€"A Goon SxowInNc.â€"The Ontario budget, as usual, looks up well. The total receipts last year were £4,096, 494, the expenditure $3,710,420, leavâ€" ing a balance on the credit side of $386,074. The receipts show an inâ€" crease over last year while the expenditure is less. ‘The Ross governâ€" menrt will keep up that much disputed surplus to the disgust of those Conserâ€" vatives who would like to be spend â€" ing it.

The leader of the Opposition introduced the discussion with a rehearsal of a number of the old familiar charges, Sir Hibbert Tupper threw around so indiscriminately last sumimer, but the only effect of the deâ€" bate, beyond demonstrating the fact that after six months more hunting up _evidence nothing further has been disâ€" & coyered but another anonymous letterâ€" writer, was to give an opportunity to the Minister of the Interior to demonâ€" strate the care and businessâ€"like attenâ€" tion which had been given to the regâ€" ulations governing the administration of alfairs in that territory. Playing To The Gods. Another afternoon was devoted to a display of pyrotechnics from Mr. Bpeakers left, anent the alleged frauds in the late byeâ€"elections in West Huron and Brockville. Considerable time and a large amount of public money was wasted last session by tha Opposition in a desperate attempt to unearth a crookedness in connection with these matters, but after examining nearly a bhundred witnessos they were no furâ€" ther on than they were at the start. at that time the Goyerment grahted every possible facility for a thorough investigation, and again on Tuesday intimated thier anxiety to assist in the proper administration of justice if an wrong doing had occurred but it i); grenzlg to be feared that the Opposition not balf as anxious to carry out a legitimate inquiry as they are to conâ€" veg'ethe idea to the electors that the Liberal sm't{ has been implicated in corrupt election practices, ardless of whether there is any emnce to justity snch an impression or not. ~â€"â€"Dr. T.
