four Indian started from loyal inhabitants turned out with their and carried division on their one day voluntarily Riving men three cheers on parting which were returned by bloat and willing minds succeeding day a company set out one hundred strong ten divisions comprising and a thousand men not on the wing but on without a track or a mark on a tree for Riviere Loup with the Snow from four to six feet deep a dense in front and caught but vast canopy of heaven above their heads They had o halt every day half past two to prepare for night first thing done was to lung up everything for fear jot a trow storm Their excavations for tamps were dug with their snow- fchnes Around three were piled up brush Hardwood cat down for lire the camp was hung on tome for tea others to thaw and cook thu pork c and when all was ready a vorucEoua charge made on the ten pork and biscuits This went on for a reducing the carriego of the provisions at rate For beds they re posed on cedar and spruce boughs si read on tbo of the exca huts Each mans share of the fire was his width only but he might turn which ever side bo liked and a time they kept while the snow waits liko marble although some of I ho piles were fourteen feet long over four high The oven- were spent In cheerful ami burets of laughter echoed from camp to camp A some of brush hang ing too near burst into rousing the sleeping aud deprived of even this light protection against the midnight they could but buddlo around the tiro heap till the bugle sounded to prepare for another days march On one Occasion colore of tho regiment had a narrow and were rescued with great sounded daybreak to cook end eat which towards was an easy Job Boon performed and tbe company marched off as toon It light enough to see that nothing was left The men bad no causa to complain of tho resinous smoke from their camp fires a they ho roof to prevent its ascension part of the march was through a iand over frozen lakes and rivers when compelled to make a portage around falls rapids company rived near foot a violent came on which with the Intense Miter cold rendered It impossible for troops to attempt to lake a distance riMB miles without danger of and they were consequently to resume their march for Ihreo days While this company was detained In camp by the storm next company commanded by Captain Shore a arrived at the Lake Provisions were the weather so intensely gold that It would be for the famishing men to set out on the march Sap- plies be from Riviere da Loup miles distant soldiers would die of cold and star vation In this extremity Captain heroically resolved to make the attempt to cross the lake to da Loop and rescue Ma com rades in arms from horrible fate that stared them in the face Leav ing tbe camp at early morning he arrived at Riviere Loup the same day travelling entire distance on exposed to one of the heaviest snowstorms that fell daring the winter A supply of provisions was at onoe men employed to convey the same on pledges to the take and here moat officers would have rested satisGed that they had daty Not so with Charles who after snatch ing a brief rest while the sledges were being loaded once more put on his and set to the camp at the of the rescuing party He arrived at the lake the following at daybreak having travelled a distance of nearly 106 miles in one day and night and having obtained a supply of provisions for trdapa who bad crossed lake during his absence The following account of his heroic exploit is taken from a book published in London under the direction of the committee appointed by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge entitled Tales of Military Life With the exception of stating Mont real instead of Riviere Loup as place where the provisoes were the account Is generally correct In the march of the Regi ment long since disbanded a proof occurred of ha use of anowahoe marching The provisions for the journey were packed on small stedgea or drawn by Indians but with a large body of men it was no easy matter to convey a sufficient supply and some unlookedfor delay having occurred commissariat officer per ceived before they had of their tiresome that the rations would fall short Now there was no settlement along the lino of which led through tbo heart of the forest and no place nearer than Montreal where a fresh- could be obtained They might indeed send on Indian but lives of a thousand were at stake it was a fearful riik to trust messengers of doubtful fidelity In this dilemma a young to accompany Indians His offer gladly accepted and without a moments delay he plunged with bis re guides into the trackless followed by many a hearty prayer for his success Ho made his way gallantly through every obstacle a would who felt that lives of comrades depended on his tiou reached Riviere Loup in en incredibly short of time Not an hour was lost in dispatching a convoy the advancing force and I have been told if I remember right that they were near ly reduced to the last ration when the supply reached them COLONEL to whose letter in the British Stan dard of January the writer is indebted for some of the facts given above thus describfa the conduct of the men of the during moat trying portions of the march poor fellows with empty stomachs had bard work hauling the Up the steep hills although load was light the provisions being all finished and alt of lis had been on short rations for several days yet in the midst of our privations we had some hearty recreations of the men would slide down the hills on tobogana and capsizes of frequent occurrence Our big black the big drum which was lashed on a tobogan to try the experiment but it jumped the track shooting him off at a high velocity and sable African came up some distance

with ten ounces of biscuit came far abort of what absolutely to supply cravings of nature hours Hunger took such a hold of their thoughts that from first to last from morning till night and I may add from night to morning tKoy thought of but Christ- dinners roast beef plum pud ling turkeys and geese brandy and gin- but to their credit there was no grumbling but nil the men were cheerful and goodtempered although they were without their usual rations of ruin from tho com mencement of the march At the foot of grand portage I my dog by throwing away my as I could easily carry all my provisions consisting of half a pound of chocolate which I ate for breakfast put my knapsack on my back and slung my over top No dinner that day no supper that night no breakfast next morning but on tho afternoon wn were agreeably when Grossing Riviere du Loup to find two men with bags of biscuits and two tuba of spirits and handing each a biscuit half a pint of grog I found It very after a march of two days and a upwards of thirty hours Tho rest of inarch we had bouses to sleep in and received kind treat ment from inhabitants We crossed on the day strong without loosing a single man rested ten days and on tiptoo for the seat of war In Upper Canada A popular error Is repeated In this account The two who accom panied in the trip across lake were not told M Indians bat white of the 104th regiment and natives of the upper country bordering on the Can- lino when he let oat on the march asked for two companions and Peter Patriot and Way of the light company profetred their aervicee which be gladly ac cepted Each of them carried knapsack firelock and foil compli ment of ammunition Capt Rains- ford in describing the trip Bays I took a light pack a camping axe and part of a bottle of brandy from the Small Stock on hand About two leagues from where they entered on the lake is a small island where trappers and other winter travellers generally stop From appear ance of one particular spot 1 judged that there had been a camp fire burn ing there within a short timo before our arrival I would have halted here but could light no the cold being bo intense that we could not strike a light with and atoel Poshing on we journeyed half way the lake wo met a Cana dian guide named Win Long with a drawn by a dog This Long who was employed by the Government to pilot lake and portage had expected our company to arrive some days before was now on the way to ascertain the cause of the delay He conducted us to a little log cabin where he lived aod after eating he put on the right road to the port age AH this time the enow was falling but only occasionally in quantity as it was too cold to snow bard The intensity of the frost may bo when I tell you that partridges dove from the top of the highest pines the snow like kingfishers into water f After travelling in this direction for some time we came on to the Lawrence soon got over the remaining league and a quarter to where regimental quarters were When made reason of niy advent no time was lost in loading up with pork biscuit sugar etc including two Small kegs of rum for the famishing contractor there Wil liam Anderson from Quebec Lower- town manifested greatest real in operations Seventeen Canadians engaged with the My two men Patriot and Gay volunteered to accompany me on my return march and off we went once more in the wake of rescuing party Half way to where the companies were encamped we left a supply of provisions and some of Canadians wore stationed there to cut wood build fires etc As we reached border of the we up to the companies who had crosed lake while wan away in coldest snow storm known that winter They would built camp at head of the lake bad there been the proper wood for fuel there My return was hailed with every demonstration of joy and soon and soldiers partaking of good substantial food Rains ford in the high est terms of under the trying circumstance of their winter march He described their clothing as poor and scanty their- snowshoes and moccasins miserably made even were of poor thin yarn If the march of Light Infantry from to 1837 drew from Duke of Wellington the following It ia tho only military achievement performed by a that I really envy to how rauoh greater praise is entitled thn gallant who poorly fed and badly protected against the winter blast marched over tho ground twentyfour before without a single man v Soott vs East QwllUmbury An important arbitration case in which the parties interested were the townships of Scott and East was decided at the Mansion House April before His Honor Judge and the wardens of Ontario and York comi ties Seventeen years ago the town ships of Scott and Bast held an arbitration Tba same judge presiding It was decided that the northern portion of the be tween those municipalities should be opened op and made fie for publia travel by the joint action of both municipalities Township Clerk Nelson being

in the winter of when the rate payers of Scott adjacent to said road complained that East not doing proportionate share of statute labor necessary to keep the road in good repair Upon complaint being made to the council of Scott it appointed Town ship Clerk Kelson and Councillors Dunn and as a committee with a view of effecting a basis of agreement by which each municipal ity would place a
