see some histories we wot of revised. The poet Campbell acknowledged 

 his information on the subject had been incorrect, but how difficult to 

 rectify the wrong ! 



" Fear God and honour the King. In memory of Col. John Butler, His 

 Majesty's Commissioner for Indian Affairs, born in New London Con- 

 necticut 1728. His life was spent honorably in the service of the Crown. 

 In the war with France for the conquest of Canada he was distinguished 

 at the battle of Lake George, Sept. I755. at the siege of Fort Niagara, 

 and its capitulation 25th July, 1759- I" the war of 1776 he took up 

 arms in defence of the unity of the Empire, and raised and commanded 

 the Royal American Regiment of Butler's Rangers. A sincere Chris- 

 tian as well as a brave soldier, he was one of the founders and the first 

 patron of this parish. He died at Niagara May, 1796, and is interred in 

 the family burying ground near this town. Erected 1880."

 Majesty's Navy, who fell whilst gallantly heading on his men to board one 

 of the enemy's schooners at anchor off Fort Erie on the night of the 17th

 near this. " Donald Campbell, Islay, Argyleshire, Fort Major of Fort 

 Georcre died ist Dec. 181 2. Interred on west side of Garrison Gate at 

 Fort George." Also the'name of Lieut.-Col. Elliott, K.C.B., who fought 

 in Peninsular war, Col. Kingsmill. and a daughter of Chief Justice Sewell. 

 In the church altogether are fifteen tablets, two in the vestibules and 

 three on the outer walls. It may be noted that seven are to military and 

 naval heroes, four to clergymen ; four women's names are here handed 

 down. 



Much might be said of the beauty of the spot, of the quaint pulpits 

 and vaulted roof, of the chime of bells and the air of quiet repose, but 

 where so many facts have to be recorded, the aesthetic and the emotional 

 must be left for another pen or another time. 



In turning now to the history of St. Andrew's we find many places 

 where the records seem to touch, and each help out the other, 

 where the story of one corresponds with the other, and again is wide y 

 different. While much attention has been attracted to the beautiful old 

 church of St. Mark's, to which so much romance clings, from the fact
