Address T. EATON & CO, Richmond Hill and Vicinity No. 25. To the Editor of THE LIBERAL Dr. Scadding, in his “Toronto of Old,” says that “ unlitary associations hang around the lands right and left. of Rich- mond Hill.” In the course of these letters to the readers of THE LIBERAL, much of the in- formation in them having been obtained from aL'ed men and women long resident among us, familiar with events and assoâ€" ctations leaching back to the beginning of the century and were conversant with those who pl nyed their parts in still earlier times, it “I” be seen that the Dr. is not far astray in his remark. Short sketches have been given of the French Refugees, heroes III the French Revolution in 1784, of one who fought in the Penâ€" insular War and helped Welling ton whip Napoleon’s generals seriatim, and of those who, as U. E. Loyalists, took an nctlve part in opposition to the revolutionarv movement that resulted in the independence of the United States, and Were rewarded with lands all around us, of those who were engagei in the sanguinury days of 1812 and of others who “ere mixed up in the stirring scenes of 1837. To the lmlitary associations already given it may not be considered out. of place tn add one more, that of John Davidsuu, 9. Waterloo veteran, wl.o fur many years resided in our village. Being acquainted with the chatty old soldier aimust {rum my boyhuod, and knowing that he was possessed of a. mem- ory bright and clear, I loved to hear him talk of events in his early life, which seemed to him as of yesterday, and different conversations I learned from him the fulluwmg Iacts: Juhn Davidson was born in Peebleâ€" shire, Scotland, about the year 1800, and was apprenticed to a weaver when quite a child \Vhen thirteen yeals of age 11: enlisted at. Edinbnrg and acted as bugler in the 79m Regiment of Camerunian Highlanders under the Duke of Welling- ton. His Commanding officer was Lieu- tenant Col. Dvnglas, who became Aide- de-Campe to George IV, and afterwards Governur of Malta. Acting as bngler to light sklrlnishing parties DaVidS-m had the advnn‘nue uf the common soldier in obtaining information, by frequent rapid changes of position. His duty being to sound the reveille he was the earliest up and the first upon the scene, and ‘much was gathered is the Aides galloned from division to division announcing the arâ€" rangements for the conflict. No regi- ment had more bravely earned a better military record than the 79th Highland- ers, for in twenty general engagements they had fought and won renown. After the disastrous battle of Ligney, \Velling ton, in effecting his masterly retreat to Waterloo, ordered the fifth division, commanded by that splendid officer, Sir Thomas Picton, in which the 79th form- ed part ofa brigade, led by Sir James Kemp, afterwards Governor or Canada, to Quatre Bras, to prevent Marshall Nev from occupying the road to Ligney, from which Blucher was expected to iuin the Duke. Here a. fierce encounter took place in the endeavors of the British to drive back the French, in which the 79th Highlanders deported themselves with the greatest gallantry, with a loss to the fifth division of 5000 men. several officers and Col. Douglas wounded four times. Davidson escaped without a scratch, but nearly lost his life a few moments after by rashly kicking at a. rolling cannon ball, for which he was severely repri- manded by Capt. Bernick. Much more serious work was waiting for them on the murrow, the memorable 18th of June. That night there was a. fearful storm of lightning and thunder. The rain had fallen in torrents, making ‘ the roads as perfect quagmire, but the real battle had begun and the rattle of musketry and the roar of the cannon were heard above the peals of thunder. The trumpet, the drum and the bugle called many an unrest/ed soldier to begin his last dav of life on earth,and the Duke himself was seen on his war horse. “Cop- enhagen.” dictating to his Aides the poâ€" sitions to be taken by the different bri- gades. Wellington, who had hitherto been acting on the defensive, nnw began the aggressive. Davidson saw the splen- did cnarge of the Union Brigade, cunaist- ing of the Oxtord Blues, Enniskillen Dragoons and the Scots Greys on the steel-clad French cuiraasiers. The order was given to strike at the neck, the only vulnerable part, and he heard the ringing cry of “Sontland forever I" by the Greys as they rode among the French “Invinci- bles,” and slashing right and left witn their heavy swords. emptying many a. saddle, and to use Davidson's own illus- tration, “mowed them down like thistles.” The attack on Hugomont was {1- ion ed by the assault of the french line on the Br.tish centre and left. Eighteen thun- sand soldiers. under the personal dirnct ion of Napoleon, who had taken.le his A \Vntcrloo Venom position opposite the public house known as La. Belle Alliance, made the advance. To aid in repelling the masses of the French foot, the 79th, 92nd and other Highland regiments, became engaged an d fought with desperate valor. Davidson said that the men seemed to fall like grass before the scythe,so terrible was the slaughter. The 92nd Highlanders welt in with 992 men and came out with only 92, every one of whom lltld a gapinLr wound. The 79th fared but little better but. signalized themselves by deeds of heroic bravery. In the middle of the Jarnage Davidson was attacked by a French soldier with a short sword. Not being able to cope with his antagonist he put himself on the defensive. A Scots’ Grey, seeing that the boy was likely to get the worst of it, shouted, “Stand back, Davidson, I’ll fix him ," and with a terrible blow from his sword severed the Frenchman's head from his shoulders. In this engagement Davidson received a severe stab in the neck, and had both his legs grazed by a passing cannon ball. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The people must not think our town dead because they have not heard from lately. 7 0111' day school has again opened and one would judge from the number of pupils passmg that the attendance was large.

Yes, in fact some things even cheaper. \th would not patlonize him I Considerable excitement was caused around here at the annual meeting of the Sabbath School. Our worthy and well respected superintendent, Mr. Ketfer, who has presided over the school for a. number of years. resigned, and our new citizen, Mr. Clark, was elected superin- tendent, and Mrs. C. White assistant. According to the very exact report given by the secretary the scnool is In a. flour- ishing condition. I cannot understand why some one did not report to this paper about the grand entertainment on Xmas Night. The most emellent selections uf music were rendered by Professor Grant and Miss Richie, and. also by Mr. Smart and his daughter, which far excelled anything ever heard here before. There was also a dialogue entitled “Married by the new Justice of the Peace,” that was acted so well if will be a wonder if the Reverends do not lose money by it. I think, Mr. Editor, the committee might have given you an exact report. for they deserve credit for the eflicieut manner in which they managed it. Parties have been all the go here; they have averaged about two a, week on bad roads. What now since the snow has come ? I understand that one of our old Dach- elurs who at one time lived here, now a short distance away, is gvmg to wighdraw frmn the roll. Wish him prosperity. Weddings ! \Veddings !
