Random Notes And Reflections.

RANDOM NOTES AND REFLECTIONS .

WE deeply regret that onr Notes this week open with the sad announcement of the death of Viscountess Holmesdale , the wife of Bro . Lord Holmesdale , the Provincial Grand Master of Kent . The deceased Lady Julia was daughter of the fifth Earl of Cornwallis , and was only in her thirty ninth year at the time of her death , which

ovenfc occurred on batnrday last , at Linton Park , near Maidstone . Both the deceased and the bereaved husband come of a rare stock . We need not dwell upon fie name of Cornwallis * it is familiar to all who have studied the martial history of England during the latter half of tbe eighteenth century . Charles , Marquess of Cornwallis , took

part in tbe American War , fought and ruled in India , and signed the preliminary Treaty of Peace at Amiens . Napoleon had a very high opinion of his abilities and honesty . Lord Jeffrey Amherst , who was descended Prom an old Kentish family , took early to the art of war .

Ee served at Dettingen and Fontenoy , afterwards in America , ancl restored British prestige in Canada . In 1876 he was created Baron Amherst of Holmesdale , and two years later he was appointed Commander-in-Chief in
