The Great Zulu Slaughter

A telegram from Maritzburg of May 14, says: ‘There is exciting news from the Tugela frontier. Near Helpmakaar, on the llth May, a great battle took place at a psint between Thringpost and Santwalla. A powerful Zulu clief, named Matcona, with all of his people, numbering some thou- sands, had reserved to surrender to the British. He was joined by Dabalmanzi, Cetywayo’s brether, who commanded the Zulus at Gingihiloo, and the remnant of that army, its chiefs having kept away from

Cetywayo since their defeat, through fear. When nearing Tringpost they were unex- pectedly interrupted by a powerful force, suppose l to be commanded by Cetywayo, coming from the northward. \ fear- ful conflict ensued, resulting in great slaughter of the Zuius, who wished

to surrender, and they were. dispersed and driven back. Matceona escaped, and it is reported that Dabalmanzi was killed. King Cetywayo is elated with his success, and apparently learning that Lord Chelms- ford’s columns have made a forward move- ment, has summoned all his followers and taken a strong position at the fork of the White Umvelosi, at its junction with the Black Umvelosi. At his back are some of the highest known mountains of Zululand, densely wooded at their base. The coun- try infront is swampy. Here the King evidently awaits the British. The native scouts state that he has declared that he will never surrender. -~He is believed to have collected all his. available forces, and no raids into Natal are now feare+l.

A Week in the Woods Without, Food.

On Monday last, Willie Baker, a lad seven years, son of Mr. Elijah Baker, who lives a short distance below Milville, on the line of the New Brunswick Railway, stray- ed off into the woods. He was not missed until nightfall, when search was at once in- stituted. The parents were assisted by the neighbors, who te the number of fully one handred for days scoured the woods in all directions, but without coming on his trail, or gleaning any trace of the little wanderer. On Friday the belief become general that the boy, exhausted by fatigue, cold and hunger, and despairing of rescue, had laid down in the forest and perished. On Sat- urday, to the joy of all, little Willie was discovered by the engineer of the down train from Woodstock Junction, lying close to the track, about fifteen miles frem Mill- ville station, The train was stopped, the hoy picked up and brought in almost fam- ished, having eaten nothing since the time he left home. Judging from what he says, the little fellow :nust have walked fully thirty miles in his wanderings. His first words were ‘‘ Are you going to leave me ?” Milk was given him and other restoratives were used. His hands, face and neck were scratched and bitten, and the clothing was hanging in rags around his body. Every attention was paid the poor fellow by the train hands and passengers, and prior to putting him off at upper Keswick station, where kind friends were in waiting, Con- ductor McQueen collected nearly $10 for him. News of his discovery was telegraph- ed ahead, and when the train reached Kes- wick a crowd was in waiting to welcome the boy and convey him to his parents, who were nearly distracted] at their sup- posed loss.

Terrible Tragedy at Montreal.

One of the boldest and at the same time most dastardly outrages ever .committed in Montreal occurred about two o’cleck on Sunday morning, at Morey’s extensive livery stables on Lagauchetiere street. Constable Gravel, hearing a cry of ‘* mur- der” coming from the stable and hearing a struggle going on inside, broke open the door and found Quenville, the watchman, lying on the floor, covered with blood, and the place in flames. The fire brigade were speedily summoned and soon quelled the fire ; not, however, till it had burned, more or less, twenty of the forty carriages in the

lace, including those lately used by the Vico Regal party. Quenville was taken to the hospital, and was found to have re- ceived severe injuries on the skull bya dumb-bell, several splinters having pene- trated the brain ; and he was also stabbed in the neck and side. He lingered in great agony till 11 o’clock a. m., when he died. The outrage is supposed to have been com-

‘ mitted by cab-drivers or persons working

in their interest, and the only reason that ean be assigned is the bad feeling existing between them and Morey, the proprietor of the establishment, who is extensively em- ployed by the hotel keepers of the city, and has practically a monopoly of their trade. The cab-drivers have been fighting him in law courts for two years past, but have invariably been beaten in their law- suiis, which has led to exasperation on the part of the cab-dvivers, and it is supposed they took this special method of seeking revenge. Morey’s loss is $15,000, and only insured for $9,000, in English and Amer- ican companies. The murderous villians had covered the carriages with kerosene before setting fire to them, expecting that their deed of blood would be covered by the destruction of the building. No arrests have been made. . ——— —> oe eo -- —

The liver is the imperial or »n of the whole human systein, as it contre. ‘2 life, health and happiness of man. Wh. it is disturbed in its proper action, all k.. . of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the-heart and blood, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver. It has been successfully proved that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing all persons afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that resul* from an unhealihy condition of the liver and stomach.

CATARRE. Constitutional Catarri Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren. edy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Dear Srr—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.” 1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular i saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘“‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed, My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before 1 had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of jate I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath-

you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly, W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.

Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B. Harvise, Dominion Agent, Brock- ville, Ont. ’ For sale by all Druggists at only one Dollar per bottle.
