Upper Chiches- in the history of the xvorld. Hundreds of thousands of patriots have fallen and are now mourned by those who were near and dear to them. Happily and fortunately such dreadful experience has been spared to us and such dreadful consequences have not been ours, and while we are actually menaced with possible war clouds irom across the Mexican border, it cAnnoi: result in any such comparison as tho sufferings of the European countries engaged in their dreadful conflict. True, we may send a few thousand troops to restore order in that unfortunate country of Mexico, but none of us look upon it as a very serious matter. True a fexv of our brave boys may fall in possible conflicts that will result from the Mexican situation, but we all know if a few do fall they will give a remarkably account of themselves before they go.

We all sincerely trust this may not be eventually necessary, but If it is. that the casualties on our side xvill be trilling. "It is not my purpose to dwell upon these horrors and contemplations ot serious warfare, but a mention seems necessary on the day we give, vent to our heart-felt patriotism. Let us now look at the brighter side and try to picture the time (xvhich t. trust will be in the near and immediate futtfre) xvhen the bright Angel of peace again reigns all ox-er this globe, when commerce and trade come back into their natural channels and to normal conditions, xvhen we feel we can go to sea without fear and resume our Intercourse and intimacy with all nations.

"This, is the happy culmination to which we a.11 look forward and pray- to theXJreat Almighty that the day is not far distant.
