In a recent fight in the Transvaal,
the Imperial Ilorse captured a con-
voy of twenty-eight wagons with
Commandant Prinsloo. Command-
ant Englebracht has, it is said, also
surrendered. And the British are
sweeping the eastern Transvaal clear
of everything that can be of any use
to the Boers. Crops have been de-
stroyed, but the women and children
are being cared for. Five hundred
of them were taken to Utrecht where
they can be attended to.
Last Saturday night about twenty-
five of the young people of this city

ed by all present until a late hour
when all departed for their hemes,
thanking Mrs. Case fortlio occasion
and hoping to soon have the pleas-
ure of enjoying another such occa-
sion in like manner.—Citizen.
