The man Lee, who was shot by a girl at Cowra, in New South Wales, for refusing to marry her, and who subsequently succumbed, served through the South African campaign as a Sergeant-Major of the West Australian Contingent.

At extraordinary accident occurred the other day to a groom in the employ of the New Brighton Tramway Company. A horse which he was watering in the stables was annoyed by another horse in an adjoining stall, and put up its head as if to bite the latter animal. Instead of doing so, however, it bit the man on the left side of the face, and tore the flesh off from the cheekbone upwards. The encouragement given during the recent war in South Africa to troops occupying blockhouses to obtain and to keep dogs for the purpose of warning them of the approach of the enemy in the darkness of the night has had a strange result. When the troops evacuated the blockhouses it was found to be impossible to remove the dogs owing to the great number which had been accumulated while the war was in progress. Hundreds of the animals, homeless and on the verge of starvation formed themselves into large packs, and have been roaming about the country hunting for food and killing sheep and goats. There is something queer in the statement made by xx members of the crew of the well-known Glasgow steamer Nithsdale, who were (writes a London correspondent) lauded in England by the Australian steamer Ormuz. The Nithsdale went ashore at Caldiva Island, some 400 miles from Ceylon, but was subsequently got off, and reached Colombo safely. The eleven men were ashore, guarding the cargo which had been taken from the Nithsdale, and while so employed their ship disappeared. The marooned eleven imagined she had foundered, and it was not until she had reached the Mediterranean that they heard of her safety. Until we know the reasons for the apparent desertion of the Nithsdale’s cargo-watchers, it would be improper to comment thereon, but it certainly appears to be a strange proceeding.

SANDER and SONS EUCALPYTI EX TRACT.
