For several dassspresuougly antici- patory telegrams had been sent ont and on Thursday the local committee were able to announce that he would be home next dav. Captain Torry with his usual vigor drummed up the local volunteers, the band prepared to do justice to the occasion, and everybody was on their mettle. Splendid weath- er favored the jay. and no doubt had the storms of preceding days not blocked many roads the crowd present would have been still larger. A: tutu-time drew near the station ground presented an animated scene. The bright uniform of the volunteers, the gay attire of the ladies. the pleasur- able feelings of eyetyoue lent spice to the occaston, which was not lessened by the humor and the handsprings of Jack Saunders. The train was late, and as luck would have it, the visit ol ll pay-car kept it later. All things come to those who wait, and it came at last and as the stalwart form of the hero of the hour stepped from the car, rousing cheers went up, and " a few minutes there Were hearty embraces from relatives and hearty handshakes from the crowd. For a little while he was public pro- perty however. Four stalwart Volun- teers from No. 4 Company, hoisted their comrade in arms shoulder high on a chair, and carried him from the station to the gateway amid the plaudits of the crowd. Here he was placed in a sleigh beside members of the reception Committee, Dr. Jamicson, M. P, P., the (editors of the town papers and others and, preceded by the baud, the Volunteers and members of the Town council. the processnon moved Into low n accompanied by the largest crowd that ever welcomed a. prominent ylsitor. The procession broke up after traversing Garairasa St to the “Review" corner and back to the Town Hall. The crowd waited respectfully till the newbies wont in, and then closed like a steel trap behind them. "Such a-petting upstairs as ye never did see." The hall was jammed in a few seconds and as many more were "out, of ir" in more ways than one. Chairman Dr, Jamieson M. P.
