lists He has now returned safely to close prox-
unity to Belmont. When he announced the
necessity of evacuating the place, the inhabi-
tants Of Douglas declared their lives were not
worth five minutes purchase after the troops
left. Colonel Pitcher therefore invited them to
accompany him TO Belmont The preparations
were speedily completed. but the vehicles of the
town were totally inadequate to convey the
refugees. the troops gave up the transport
wagons TO the women and children. The Cana
dams acted an escort OF the refugees, car
ried babies for the women, and kept everybody
lively by singing as they marched pluckily along
in spite of sore feet, occasioned by the heavy
sand, which made marching extremely firing.
The force received General Buffers congratu-
lations on the success of the expedition with
great satisfaction.

consider that Great Britain ought not to have
searched German steamer in the Suez Canal.
The Wiener Allgemeine Zeitung" says:
1t looks as If Great Britain cared less for the
cargo in question than for demonstrating be-
fore the world that. although most unucky on
the land, she is the unchallenged mistress of the
sea, demonstration which will do more for the
German navy than all the speeches Of Emperor
William.

Last week Wednesday, December
Goth, the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Henderson southwest of town was
made the place of pleasant gathering.
December 2Oth., 1874, these people were
united in marriage. and their friends
decided that their 25th, or silver
anniversary should not pass unobserved.
In all there were over forty people at
this gathering, and they did not return
home without leaving q number OF
valuable presents by which Mr.. and
Mrs. Henderson will long remember
the occasion. Besides a full set oil
dishes they were made the recipients Of
several fine pieces of silver ware. The
bride and groom of this silver wedding
we believe, have lived in this commun
ity ever since their marriage, and ranl
high in the estimation of their Wild
circle of acquaintance as was evidenc
ed by this event. One of the wishes
the guests left behind when returning
to their homes was that Mr. and Mrs
Henderson might live to celebrate thei
golden wedding.
