MARCHING HOME

Private Harris Returns Last Night.

MET BY THE MILITIA WITH A BAND OF MUSIC.

Escorted to Market Square Where

Speeches are Made,

Once again has Charlottetown bad tlie

Island sons from the battlefielde of Africa, Last night the third Islander, and the first of Charlottetown’s soldiers, returned to his native beath. From the perils aad hardshigs of,war to the happiness of being again at home with those dearest is a farcry, but that was the pleasure of Private John —or “Jack,” if you please—Harris when last night he arrived in this city. But happy though the mere home-coming would be, it wasa far prouder moment |

for Private Harris when he saw the immense assemblage of people who had

gathered to welcome him Lome. He had hardly stepped from the train when he was picked off the

ground by enthusiastic friends and con-

veyed, as rapidlyas thecrush in the Station would eliow, to the carriage wait-

ing for himona the street. When he was outside the station a great cheer was given. Little time was lost, and he was placed in the wagon with Pri- vate Fred Waye,who bad boarded the train at Hunter River, and who till last night did not have a public we:come ac Char- lottetown. Mr. Joho Harris, tather of the returned soldier, Col. Moore aod Mayor Warburton were also in the wagon.

| The wagoe was brought to the station | by horses, aad 1: was taken back by men. The horses were taken out and ropes were attached to the wagon by tae artillery \and by them hauled tothe Market Square, the Engineers and 82nd Regmenc waiking besi de the carriage. The band of the 82nd Regiment prec.ded the procession. When all had arrived at the Market Square Mayor Warburton said a few stirring words of welcome on behalf of the citizens, fol- lowed by Col. Moore for tke militia. The Mayor mentioned the fact that Joho Harrie hed wounds tbat were not healed

yet; the tendon ef the left arm: was severed in the tattle of Paardeburg, aud the result isa use-~

lessarm—which may remain eo, The mayor also said that the citizens should pass the hat for their credit’s sake, ”

*“Col. McLeod made a few remarks and welcomed the men home. Privates Harris and Waye then said a few words of thanks for the joyous reception they had received.

From the equare Private Harris was taken 1o his bome on the Corner of Graf- ton and Rochford +treete;—and what glad- neas was in that home! Here many person entered the house and shook bands with bim.

Private Harris left here with the fret contingent on the 25th of last October, having enlisted from the 82nd Regimeat. He was wounded in the battle of Paarde- bere. Hethen went to a Cape Town hospital, and later to England. A _ trip ‘hrough England and Scotland, and beiug a gueet of Lord and Lady Abcrdeen was pait of his «experience. And then home,
