MAS MARGRES RAVEN RELATES VERT GRAPHICALLY IN A LETTER How Joz OVERCAME HE DEMPÄN,

There is no joy like the joy of being again in perfect health after you have been disabled, so to speak, by the pains and after-effects of a long, todious illness. That is the dominating note struck in a letter written on December 7th, 1904, by Miss Margret Raven, of 127, Quay Street, Ultimo, Sydney, in which she most graphically describes her pine, and the wearing, wearying affects of the disease that, in the form of indigest- ion, tortured her for years, and then the hap- piness that has come over her since her release from all theso miseries.

"REACHING TEE FOTTOM RUNG "

In her letter she says: "I don't think any

CANTON NOTES.

Soldiers Held Up.

(From our Correspondent.)

CANTON, May 11.

At a place near here, named the Nine Streams, a clever robbery was affected a few nights ago. The villagers, being well off, wore assured of perfect safoty from robbers, because they had provided them seivon with a guard of eighteen soldiers, who, at nights, in companies of four, patrolled the streets or were supposed so to to do. Hence, though-robbers atounded all through the neighbourhood; the inha. bitanta dwelt at ease.

Hot verlately, the soldiers have been remiss in their patrol, and in other ways have been careless and idle. The natural consequence was that a few nights since, a band of armed men fell upon the mat-shed, used as barracks, and auddenly overpowered the entire company, The marauders seized the whole eighteen, and having gagged them, tied them to various parts of the building. They thon leisurely possessed themselves of the soldiers firearms; next they secured much booty from the villagers Iantly they seized on two of the rich men of the village and carried them off to hold for ansom.

When the robbers had decamped and the villagers were free to vociferate and vituperate, they poured the full vials of their fiercest wrath upon the luckless soldiers as they lay before them bound and gagged. Then, though they released the with black ropes, and led them away to prisoners, one by one, they rebound them.
