The patriotism displayed was of the most entuusiastic character, The mar- tial spirit of Charloitetown’s citizens was awakened.to the full; and last might as they parted for a while with some of the [-land’s soldier sons the spirit of the Empire wes made evident.

The Boy’s Brigade was much admired last night. Qur boy -eoldiere will make an excellent addition to our militia when they become men. They are progressing rapidly under the good training they are now receiving.

Yesterday afternoon the fifteen men were insured by the Independent Order of Foresters for $1000 each, on the same conditions as the first contingent. The prem:ums will be subscribed by citizens.
