To the Editor of THE LIBERAL In n previous letter we gave a. sketch of the veteran Peninsular hero, Colonel Maudie, and his untimely fate in front. uf Munlgumbry's hotel. We will now follow his fellow ruynhst, Col. Bridgford, in his determinatiun to apprise the author- ities at. Turunm of the impending danger. As soon as Muudle fell..Ccl. Bridgfurd, havnig s. yunng horse. rode around the hotel, leaping the fences. and although fired at sew-ml trifle!) succeeded in reach- ing Yonze St. on the sunth side nf the hotel in safety. Here he met Powell. uhn had a trcsh hurse, and told him to hasten back and infurin the Governor that the rebels wuuld be down on the town in tun liunrs. \Vhen Bridginrd reached the city he went straight to Gov- ernment Huttse uttd found all in constel- nation. and the Guvernnr so paralyzed with fear that he dld not know how to act. Haring obtained permissinn Bridg- furd nidered the bells to be rung. and so was the first to alarm the city. The Culonel’s adventures. however, did not end In re. Arrangements were immedi ately made hr the defence of the town. Bridgfmd was commissioned by Col. Fitzgilvbm: to raise vulnnteers fur imme~ tdiate active serVIce. Before starting 0n ‘ his nllssltm it “'43 hgteed that if oti his \ way nurtli he shuttld get intn any dil'li cnhy, ifnppurt.:nity uti'ei‘ed he was to signal by dupluyinu his silk handkerchief. Tl is subsequently [m-ved of service, for shortly after he and his . assistant, Mr. . Prime Lawrence, were taken prisoners by the Mackenzie party, near Montgom- ery's. Thu (Jul. seeing a chance fur his man. secretly handed him his papers, and Lawrence nmde guod his escape. A cunsnltntiun was immediately held, and resulted in a decision to hang Bridgford as a. spy. Mr. David Gibson, whose house was hnrned that year by the sup- pmters of the government, suggested that he be retained as a Urisuncr hf war, and sarel the Culmiel‘s life by going his se- curity. With several lillier prisoners Rtidgftlrtl was relegated to the ball-mom in lllnntgmnery’s hotel and placed under guard. Here he was interviewed by Win. Lyon Mackenzie. who asked him tor the lat-st news. The Cul. replied that "he (Mackenzie) ()lth": to have it for he had stupped the mails." Mackenzie then asked him if he knew what was In be done with him. Briilgford answered “No.” “You are to be shut tu-incrrow at 12 o’clock," replied Mackenzie. "hare you any requests to make l” Bridgfcrd .said Lllat‘he had but nne. and that. was that the eXecutiun be deferred uutil twt. o’clock. "Why this delay 1 ” asked Mac- kenzie. “Because,” replied the Cnlolltl, “you Wlll then have enmiin in do to luuk after your own neck without attend- ing to mine.” When the troops from the city. led. by Culuuels McNab, FltZ-_'ll)l.mll and Jarvis, With an overwhelming farce appeared, the silk handkerchief was hung from the south winan of the hotel. and the loyal- ists fired their grape and canister clear of the room where the prisoners were con- fined. 'l‘hu insurgents, unable to main- tain their position, a. general stampede took place, the pris‘uners liberated, and the hotel burnt to the ground. The Col. survived his adventuresI and pursued for many years the peaceful awo- cation of farm life. Hus milltary mantle fell upon his youngest. son. D. B Bridg- ford, who left Richmond Hill when ghoul twenty yeals of age for Richmond, Vir- ginia. There he joined the army before the breaking out of the rel) llion and after~ wards dld considerable sauce in the Con- federate army. He was pr.‘.moted to the puslllull of Major in his regiment. and afterwards was aide cle campu to General Stonewall Jackson. At. the funeral ol the Confederate General, Major D. B Bndgfurd was chosen to represent. the arm). He fought among the “Boys in g'ey” until the close of lhe war. ’Havinx noticed Cul Bridgiord's mili wry life we will Iluw go back to his more domestic history. The Col. was the son: iii-law of Mr. Juhu Siegmall. the survey- or. having umrned his daughter Lucy. The last uf these daughters. Mrs. Pull-wk. wan: buried in our CcmeKery a few days ago at the are of eight) «eight years. Bridgfond built one of the val‘lieut. and the largest banding! in the village in thunâ€" days. It. was of licwn logs, ran up 1.. the ambitious height pf tuo sturies, and etUOd mm In the site of the preaeut Ten) immune. Hall.

The hotel was successfully run for many years. The Col. 3 military man himself, was well known in military circles In the town of York,and so eecvred a. respectable patronage.

Quite a. number of changes have taken place in our midst during the past month. Weddings have been the order of the day. Twa couples have been married -Mr. W. Jeffrev and Miss Kaiser. and Mr. Albert Harris and Miss Stewart. Report says there are mure to fulluw. It is hinted that a. farmer is soon to take one of our fair ones frmn our midst; it is also hinted that u farmer merchant is about to rob one of the homes of our Village of its only maiden. Nu doubt the cause of this is leap year, and as the year draws to a. clnse others will \Ilge‘ntly press their suit â€"ur their suitor. Death has nlsu been in our midst, and taken away Mr. E. Haslem. He has been a great at fl'erer, and it must have been a great release to him to have been tpken awny. He was fully prepared for the change. His widow and children have the sympathy of the whole village. On Sunday lust, in the English Church cmnewry, his remains were interred, the Rev. C. 1-K.
