At the present Stage of our existence we hear more of bad news thas, good ones. _ How many are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the mail man and before be bas time to deposit the contents in the several boxes along the line the owners are awaiting to receiye their raail and the first question asked by those inside the house is "Whats the news toâ€"day ? ; how is the war doing ? Bometimes the answer will be not yery fayorable but generally pretty good. How eagerly the mother looks over all the names of the dead and wounded in the daily papers and when she doesn‘t see the name of her own dear boy amongst them it is good news for her for the time being but is sore at heart to think of the other poor mothers who have to bear bad news whee they see their boys name amongst the dead and wounded. A long time ago a vessel was lost near the shores of some part of Scotâ€" land with the most of its crew and passengers on board. _ A man and son came near the shore ewimming ; the father called out to those on the shore it they could see his son getting into shore. _ They said "yes." "All right," said the father, but before he bad time to finish his sentence the waves came on them and floated both favher and son into deep waters and were drowned, _ We see here how quick bad news followed good. The selfishness of the father that all was right when his son was near being saved not thinking of all the rest that went to the bottom. So it is often the case with a large proportion of the people of the world, self comes in first and is all right if they are out of danger by being swept away by the tide of misfortune. But we must not classify the liberal that gives abundautly from their means for we have some in thig‘town and We were reading of the sad aceiâ€" dent recently at Niagara and we imâ€" agine that we ‘were with the large gathering at that picuie during the day and what a good time we bad. All enjoyed themselves becomingly well. â€"Each of those little folks were anxious to get aboard the 111 fated ear and thinking what fine news s:nd 1 TTE 2 us c‘ clawe Hecclh t yicmity“l'l;al";iye liberally for the support of those in want. e use PC CCR Bs £ o stories they would haye to tell to those at home, but alas,â€"the anticiâ€" pated good news turned out to be the reverse and sad news spread abroad of the awftual aecident ‘that hurled many to the unseep world and a large number suffering that may end in death yetâ€" â€" The ‘l':‘ day woe had our second ther day rk;'ehi;‘:\n auto owned by the Rey Mr Matheson who called on us to accomâ€" pany him over through Seotchtqwn to visit some of bis aged ':::i:ihkl:n‘o;: and sometimes we felt that like the and somesUst?

His home is in B. C. It was often said that the 12th of July brought in rain and sure it does tor this Monday morning it is threatâ€" ening and in fact is at it now at 8. 30. But it‘s an ill wind that doesa‘t blow some good. The warm saltry showâ€" ers is making everything grow but makes old people shrivel: and smalâ€" ler looking «fter getting a soaking. _ The Sunday School picnic of Prieseâ€" ville, Old Darham Road and Swinten: Park was beld in Wm Mather‘s bush on Wednesday, 7th inst and the rain interfered badly when all were beâ€" ginning to enjoy themselyes but the large gathering kept on the grounds although the firmanent applied her sprinkling car till all were pretty well drenched. However as most of the little opes and bigger ones too, were clad in thin white dresses, they could use the fine soft water provided by the looseness of the skies to wash their garments at their homes. Lots of good things to eat made all forget that drink was mesessary which there was abunvdanee of in large vesâ€" sels provided for the eceasion. Rev. Mr. Matheson and family will be leaving this week for their sumâ€" mer outing lir the lakeos of Muskoka. His pulpit will be supplied by other Rev. gentlemen during his absence. Mrs Nichol $r. and two Sdaughters are at present visiting at the old bome, Darham Rd, (Henelg where they will stay for some time, Some will probably be starting haying this week but not many. The click of the mowers will soon be heard in all directions. The old scythe that served its day in ye olden times is only kept as a reminiscence. A venerable retired farmer living in Durbam was telling us that he has the old seythe and rake be used probuably 50 years ago kept as a reâ€" minder ut olden times. g‘hose old instruments of olden days will bring back the days of youth when the hard and stardy pioceer used them among stumps and stones and felt fresh at night after wieldiog the seythe or cradie all day. _ Ask the young man of nowadays to take a seythe and mow 2 acres a day of Timotby hay as tall as the stumps and be says "No, I‘d rather go to war first if I was sure I would never be called to go to the front." But that ‘it" is in the way and may be changed to the ‘‘go you must" and bandie the gun instead of the scythe, or a two edged sword it such old war things are in use. Lachlan McMillan, (John‘s) who spent the winter and sammer at the old home, south line will be leaving this week for his home in the far west. Archic McDonald of Portland, Oreâ€" gon, who spent since the 1st of June visiting friends in the place of his childbood will be leaving the latter part ot July. _ He iutends calling to see friends in Toronto and vicipity before he leaves for his home.

One of the most graphic lelters we have seen reiating war experiences bas lately eome into our poseession. It is written by Frod Cleave (a cousin of the editor‘s wife) to his brother Bert in Chieago. It is written from au infirmary at Newcastleâ€"onâ€"Tyne, where he was sent for recsovery from wounds. He writes ‘‘I am glad to say that {my wounds are nothing near so bad as I deserve. I merely stopped pieces of shrapmel with my shoulder and leg, I receivâ€" ed my wounds on May 6th at Ypres and am so far recovered that I expect to be discharged trom hospital within a week and to be off chasing the unâ€" gentle Hun onee more in about a morth . So please disabuse your minds of any idea that I am in danger or in pain and I will assauls your intelliâ€" gence with tales of my adventure. I can start in proper story book style. It was a dark and s‘arless night when I lefe Southampter to join the band of heroes who are upholding civiâ€" lization â€" with their antfailing ecourage on Earope‘s blood stained fields. Alâ€" though it was early in the rough and blustery month of March when I emulated the great Black Prince and sailed to win glory un the war strickâ€" en ground of France, yet I had the prudence to select a perfeetly calm night for sailing over the troubled waters of the Eoglish channel. Although it was a bitterly cold nigbt I stood on deck and watched the green clad shores of England slip by in the darkness. Oar good ship easâ€" ily made her 22 knots and Southamâ€" pton water was soon covered. _ Arâ€" riving off Stokes Bay we picked up the two eruisers who were to be our escort. Past Portsmonth harbor were the searchlights of the warships and made the green beaying waters dance and sparkle like a trout stream on a summers day, ‘Through this blinding staring patch of light, past the Needles Light "and the Isle of Wight and straight into the dark void of the channel. I stood on deck and watched those swiftly receding lights that seemed like the uowinkâ€" ing eyes of Britain, until they were mere points in the distance. â€" ‘Then I siood and watched those great gray forms that raced up and down the path over which we travelled. Switt, sinuous and protecting these gaunt {eorms speeding unseasing, scouting like grey hounds, watched over the transport of England‘s fighting men. Adim shadowy outline would apâ€" pear against the skyline and sudden questioning sparks of light burst from the signal lampse on the bridge of the eruisers and then our watch dogs would edge swif:ly towards the unâ€" kpown shadows even while the quesâ€" tions were being answered . We arriyed off Le Havre about 3 a m and I turned down for a sleep. At 7 a. m. we started up the river Beine to Rouen and it was 6 hours of pure delight. _ It was a beautifally fine day and we were able to enjoy to the tull the loyvely scenery through which we passed. FThe broad placid river ran now between rich wide green meadow and then through high limestone cliffs full of great caves and glorions waving trees girt their high green summits. We passed through seores of old world towns and villages and the old men and women and childreno came running to the river banks waving the tricolor and Union Jack and shouting ‘‘Vive le Angleterre" and England for France. But always it was old men, women and children. _ Every sign showed where France had given freely her hearts best blood to drive the invadâ€" er baek. Arrived at Rouen we were heartily welcomed by the townspeoâ€" ple. There in old Rouen, where the English had so often come as eopquerors we were now hailed as saviours. And we marched through the old ecity to our camp on the outâ€" skirts. â€" Through long black garbed lines cf women and delighted shrill 9 204004000090000004000000000000000004Q0Â¥0Q T8E DURHAM REVIEW We now began to see the first signs of the war. _ We passed along lines of water logged trenches and saw here and there a burot {armhouse and a shell ruined chateau. _ And every step brought louder the unendâ€" ing roar of the guns. _ At night we ariiyed at Dickebusch where the billets of our Regiment were. _ I beâ€" lieve I told you l was drafted to the 2nd Glosters,. _ ,We were noat to stay at Dickebusch as our regiment were doing their turn of duty in the trenchâ€" es. So off we marched into the dark night to the trenches 4 miles away. We had barely got clear of the yilâ€" lage when a hissing rour and a blindâ€" ing flash broke the still darkness and we knew that at last we had comse within range of the big guns: _ But we marched steadily on up the stone cobbled foot torturing Belgian read and at length we started across country, side stepping, back stepping, over the mud and slurry of the tilled soil. Then to the bursting shell was added a new terror in the switt zip of a bullet singing through the derkâ€" ness. Still we came safely at last to the comparative safety of the trenchâ€" es and we were given our jplaces in the sadly thinned ranks of the regiâ€" ment. When day broke I was able to see what a modern battlefield looked like. Fhe trench we were in stretehed a long irreguiar line each side of us. voiced childrerm wheloyed to run beâ€" side us and take our hands as we marched along. Oh these black robed women of France and innocent Frensh childrenâ€"how empty their own homes must seem after they had gone to look at the stalwart kbaki clad Britishers who had come to fight for freedom beside the sons of sufferâ€" ing tortured France ! We only stayâ€" ed one day in Rouen before entrainâ€" ing for the front. Aud what a journey. 18 hours packed close in small carâ€" riages. Then we stepped out at a little waysidestation in Fianders and the heayy unceasing roar of the disâ€" tant guns checked our langhing shouts and brought to mind the serâ€" ious business we have in hand. We marehed for two days, stopping for the night in some wonderfal old barns that might bave been built when Charlemagne first tacked this part of the world to his Empire. We halted for our mid day meal beside one of the frontier posts between France and Belginm, Behind, the soil was pitted with great bholes made by the bursting shell and over the wide plain behind us, stretching far were ssores of blighted woods and many a ruined Sunshine Farnace!.
