Resignation ditions was despite the separated a been made Resignation â€"therefore to the conâ€" ditions was the only resoursce and despite the fact that chums were separated and friendslups which had been made had to be promised with correspondence, the boys took things in the proper spirit realizing indeed that they were even fortunate to bo able to keep tugot-hol’ to some exâ€" tent at least. In a few days it is altogether likeiy that the reâ€" mainder of the 159th still in theso ‘‘The Algonquins Gazette"", a small four page newspaper was compiled and published just before leaving Seaford. _As nearly two thousand of these were disposed of among the boys it As every way likely that sevâ€" eral _ have â€" already _ reached the Poreupine distriect and the recipiâ€" ents will be better able to judge for themselves what was aimed at. If time and space had permitted there would have been many more newsy items econcerning the doings of the boys but speed was the predominant feature and the faet that the numâ€" ber mentioned were taken up instead of about seven hundred estimated is probably sufticient proofl of the apâ€" preciation extended the venture. A Popular O.C. The dissolution of the 159th should not be passed over without a word of appreciation of the Officer Comâ€" manding. â€" Isieut.â€"Col. Armstrong had won for himself a place of very great esteem among his men. If any criticism were directed towards him it would unanimously be that he was lenient.
