Coldharbour.
Memorial Gate. - An ornamental and very useful addition has been made to the churchyard. A miniature lych-gate, or rather a memorial gate, has been erected on the south side by the family of Admiral Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B. in memory of the late Lady Heath. The work was executed by an Exeter firm. On the front or obverse side are carved these words, "He shall give the angels charge over thee," overshadowed by a pinioned ensconced cherub, and on the reverse side are the words, "Erected in the loving memory of Mary Emma Heath, by her children, 1903," with a similar sculpture vertically overhead are two full-length angelio figures, serving as modillions. As on approaches form the distance the gate has a very picturesque and imposing effect.

Surrey Past and Present. -
A correspondent writes:—The papers teem with news wars and rumours of wars," and one’s thoughts are carried back to conflicts the past.
Doubtless thoughts of the ill-fated Crimean war, with all its mismanagement and consequent sufferings, occur to Admiral Sir Leopold Heath. He was then young officer, recently married (leaving his young bride in Malta), when served on board a British frigate, and was ultimately appointed Balaclava Harbour Master, and how well he, without fear or favour, performed his onerous duties devolving upon him, and how cavalierly be cleared his reputation.
I am led to dot down these remarks upon arriving home after a very exhilarating and brisk walk to Leith Hill. Accompany as walk from the Holmwood Railway Station, past Mr. Perkins’ well-appointed front, and past his clean, imposing, model dairy, up Moorhurst.
Now, for moment look up over the roof, and you will (see a ?) small depending dinner-bell. That bell, I understand, used to do duty in the great Russian naval station, and city of Sebastopol, and was secured after the fall of that town in 1853.
Further on, following the public road, and passing through two gates we join the private road of Mr. Cuthbert E. Heath, of Kitlands. Now. your left, just in his park, will be seen a solitary tree, surrounded and protected by a strong iron fence. Look little closer and you will see large zinc label, draw near (apologising if your curiosity is interfered with), and you will read that the seed from which the tree sprung was secured whilst the battle of the Alma was being fought, when the Russians were totally defeated, losing about 5,000. whilst the Allied suffered severely, losing about 3,400 men and officers.
I say that seed was secured, brought home, sown a greenhouse, and the young sapling was planted and there it stands, apparently full grown tree being about 50 years of age. Now, to look at the tree, it seems to have arrived at the age of maturity, and, therefore, will begin to feel its age and begin to decay. Could not some of its seed be secured and one of its off-spring planted, so as to perpetuate that living memorial of the Crimean War?

The death of the Hon. Harry Keppel, whose name for so many years had stood at the head of the Active List of the Navy, leaves Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Nowell Salmon V.C., in the place of honour. - - - A most distinguished verteran is Sir Erasmus Ommaney, who celebrates his ninetieth birthday this year; his name had been in the Navy List of seventy-eight years. Little short of this record are those of Sir Edward Fanshawe, who entered in 1828, two years later; Sir Arthur Farquhar, 1829, and Sir Leopold Heath and Sir George Granville Randoph in 1830 - - -
