at least were, a few years ago, Ihring at the village
of Three Rivers, Canada, two venerable Highland-
er., who fought ill the opposite armies at the battle
of Culloden, which terminated the Scotch rebel-
lion of 1735.6. Their names are Sinclair and
Macdonald. The latter fought under the Ildillberd
of the pretender, and on the final defeat of the un-
fortunate Charles Eduard, escaped from Scotland,
and ultimately settled in Caned I. Sinclair fought
in the regiment called the Fraser Highlander.. at-
tached to the Hopis! forces. This corps formed a
part of artery, which invaded Canada, and
on the peace of 1763 he left the regiment and
sealed at Three Rivers. Both or them were pri-
vate soldrcrs at home; bat in Canada they acquired
liandi.ome prs.perties, by hard and honest industry,
and their children have intermarried with the most
wealthy and respectable inhabitants of the province.
