Pte. H. Carr-Boyd, writes to the proprietor of this paper from France, under date August 14th as follows: — " A line to let you know that my great friend Donald Ross, well-known in Dorrigo, for the past nine years, met his death on the morning of the 20th July.

France is a beautiful country well worth fighting for
