A. desphitela from Paardeberg Myst— Gen. t:r'onJe, commander of the Orange Free Stale army, has surrendered un- oonelltionelly to the Brioni toren wader Lord Roberta, and is now a poisoner In this eampa t Cronje sent an enlace through the I3rilieh lines at daw>it on Tuesday morning with a flag of truce.

Ile waw Laken to Lord Kitchener, to wLom' he said C mpjc was, willing to sur- render, 'lus-vin;g found his position un- tenable, and only defeat and capture, in lirpact of continued fighting. Ile wished to avoid useless shedding of bloodd , and to save his women and children,. He requested that they bo given safe conduct. Lord Kitchener granted the request as fax as the women and ohl:dren were concerned, but requested tno surrend- er of ad troop and arms, To this Cronje agreed. The Boor commander at once left his Nagar, escorted by half a.dozen offi- cers, and entered the British :Wes. Ile wits met by Lord Kitchener, who im mediately brought himto the head- quarters; of Lord Roberts. The greetings between the rival gen- eras were kindly, extremely sympa- thetic on the part of Lord Roberts, who bas a great admiration for his captive, and brave and dignified on the part of Cronje. T.bs ooneltlon of•atfairs in the camp of the Boers was something lr gle ful. They had run entirely out of food, ex- cept their cattle, and these were eaten sea rapt le as they were killed by Brit- ten sh• Ile. Their eminent ion had given . cul, and most of their arEllery was badly wrecked by the British lire. Most of their wra.gens were burned. The Imager was srrewn with corpses Of the dead, lying in 'the broad light, unburied and fettering. Tire wounded were in an awful gybe. The he pital corps were iinset:talent to attend to thane, and they bay about lira laagar in heaps, some crying piteously, others Shrieking with pain, while Many sit- en,ly endured their agony.

A despatch from London, Thursday, says;—Lord Roberts yesterday cabled the War Office as follows:—''Rons- ,berg was re -occupied yesterday by Gen. Clements." Beyond this brief mention nothing official has been received, but a report !comes from Capt Town that Gen. Kitchener is now at Arundel, and that {the Boers are retreating toward Nor- val's pont. If 'this is so, the movement would seem to be a voluntary with drawal in accordance with. the Boer plan of defence. Lord Roberts' object is probably to force them north, cut off their retreat, and surround them as he 'did Cronje's army on .the Mod der.

In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy select y J y P health nearly everyone has some trouble, an ache, or pitiu, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart disesse, or sick headache; all of which are brought on by a lack of nervous energy to enable the different organs of the body to perforin their respective work. South American Nervine Tonic, the marvellous nerve food eudhealthgiver, is asatisfying success, awoad rous boon to tired, sick, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years of discouragement and tried all manner of remedies without benefit. It is a modern, a scientifio remedy, and faits retire follows .),bounding health. It is unlike all other remedies in thet is is not designed to act on the different organs affected, but by its direct action on the nerve centres, which are nature's little batteries, it 'causes an increased supply of nominee energy to be generated, which in its turn thoroughly oils, eta It were, the machinery of the body, thereby en. abling it to perform perfectly its dif. ferent functions, and without the slightest friction. If you have been reading of the res markable cures wrought by South American Nervine, accounts of which we publish from week to week, and are still sceptical, we ask you to in. vestigate them by eorrespondence,and become convinced that they are ernes to the letter. Such a course may save you months, perhaps years, of suffer ing and anxiety. The words that follow are strong, but they emanate e from the heart, and speak the sentiments of thousands of women in the United Statesand Can- ada who know, through experience, at the healing virtues of the South American Nervine Tonic. Harriet B. Hall, of Waynetown, a prominent and muck respected lady, writes as follows: -- "I owe my life to the great South American Nervine Tonic, I have been in bed for five months with a scrofulous tumour in my right side, and suffered with indigestion and nervous prostration. Had given up all hopes of getting well. Had tried three doctors, with no relief, The first bottle of Nervine Tonic Improved me so much. that I was able to walk about, and a few bottles cured me en. tirely.
