litinderpest, Locusts and Small-

The following is an extract from a let-
ter received by Mr. J. S. Miller last Fri-
day from a friend in the Tranevaal Re-
publio, and which was just amonth reach-
ing Clinton:—
I have not written so , long
that I expect you think I have
been killed by rinderpest or eaten
up by locust, but on account of changes
in the head of our department work has
been doubled, but having a few spare
hours I thought I would write and let
you know all our news. Rinderpest, I
am glad to say, has completely died out
of South Africa but has left very few
in cowwlparison of the cattle we had here
and one species of book, viz. "Hoodoo"
has in some parts been completely ex.
tinguished, in some parts finding as
many as 5to 60 skeletons in one place.
Johannesburg, the London of South
Africa, as well as Pretoria, the capital
of Transvaal, and several of the other
towns in Transvaal have the smallpox
at present, Johanesburg in particular
having a rough time ot it. Dozens of
deaths have 000urred daily but up to
the present we have not had it here al-
though it is supposed to be forty miles
from here. Our district surgeon has
gone down to investigate the matter al-
though the majority of Barbertonians
refuse to boli ve it and it's hard to say
whether it i oorreot or not.
We had o *locusts here for some time
till lately, but we have had several
small swarms during the past month
and last week we had a swarm that
took between two and three hours to
pass over the town assisted by a strong
northwest wind.
The Swazi() scare is just about finished
The preliminary trial of the king for mur-
der has just commenced. Hewitt get off I
think. The executive oouncil have de-
cided to disband all volunteers through, -
out the republic. My own humble opinion
is that there are too many of the "Int -
lenders" in the corps is the reason that
they are disbanding them.
There bas been a rumor floating about
that the British Government has
taken or is going to take over Delagoa
bay and if it Domes true then there is
still a show for poor old Barberton.
Any rate according to the latest cables
grams Portugeee bonds jumped up £2
with one rise.
We are having fearfully dry and waren
weather, the town running short proper
ly of water, the water work committee
having had to arrange certain parts of
the town to receive water only certain
hours. Their greatest mistake was
getting the water too near the town
whereas by another three miles of pips
ing they could have got enough to feed
a plaoe ten times as big all the year
round.
A short while ago the topic of the day
was the "Von Weldtheim" trial for
murder of Woolf Joel, the thinking head
of Barnato Bros, in Johannesburg. It
seems Von Weldtheim came to South
Africa on some politioal work and dur-
ing tha course of business met Joel and
eventually went to Joel for money and
while talking to him was shot at by a
olerk in the office, Joet drawing a revol-

only and in the summing up of the
judge at the end of the trial which
lasted seven days, the opening was as
follows: "I want you In your capacity

with justioe. If you do not think the
accused fired first shot you must give
him the benefit of the doubt and bring
in a verdict of not guilty, and not
guilty he was brought in. He was re•
arrested for blaokmail and violent
assault on leaving the court, but on
account of knowledge possessed by him
he was put over the border by the Gov-
ernment and outlawed from the rrana-
vaal. Every one of the papers but the
Critio strongly commented against the
jury's decision, but I for one according
to the indictment thought he would get'
off as they must have felt sure of hav-
ing him for murder that they never ins
eluded manslaughter in the indictment.

From the Mission Field.
Holmesville, Oct. llth 1898.
To the editor of the Gorrie Vide'tte :
It will be remembered by a nun;s
ber of your readers that some four or
five yours ago, while we were in Gorrie,
that aMiss Whitfield, who bad returned
from Africa, gave an address in the town
hall on her mission work under Bishop
Taylor. In explaining the condition of
African girls she told us that in order to
get proper control of them so as to keep
them in the mission schools, it was ne-
cessary in many instances to pay a re-
demption price of $60 a piece. At the
meeting referred to it was proposed to
raise enough to redeem one ot those.
girls and a subscription was started. As
many will know $60 was raised, and I
doubt not some would like to know
what became of it. This is the object
of my letter.
Miss Whitfield returned to Africa
where her health failed. Subsequently
she gave up the work, and so far as we
could ascertain the redemption plan
was discontinued. In the meantime 1
deposited the money in the P. 0. Sass
ings Bank, where it remained till last
May.
While attending a convention in Tor-
onto I saw and heard areturned African
missionary, Rev. E. H. Richards, and
finding that his work had largely to do
with the children, I became quite inter-
ested, and finally concluded to send the
money to him. This I did with what
had accumulated in interest, somewhere
about $66, and received a few days ago
a receipt„ inn_ thQ tccompanying letter,
which' j L' ziiblish.
J. GREENE.
INHAMBANE, E. Africa, Aug. 22nd '98,
Rev. J. GREENE, FULLARTON, ONT.
Your very welcome letter of May Ilth
has been in my bands more than a month
but owing to moving and building and
general fixing up, which cannot be done
with any such speed as in America, I
have not been able to attend to our mail
till now there bas accumulated a lot
that wearies me to think of it.. Still it
does not weary—not even a missionary
—to think of his friends, and any one
is our friend indeed who sends us cash
enough to keep us happy for half a
year. Your gift will be directly as you
have requested, and 1 will tell you how
it will be done. One of our men is Tizore.
He was soundly converted years ago, all
alone in the forest no missionary within
a long distance of him. He is the ablest
man wo have, he assisted me all through
the translation of the New Testament in
Tonga, and now we are about to begin
the same work in the Sheetswa dialect.
When we have done the New Testament
we desire to do the Old Testament. Tiz-
ore is the ablest native for any kind of
work which we have. Farangwana will
take Tizore place on the Station at Ma-
kodweni. Farangwana is also a very fair
specimen of a Christian he is very indus-
trious, bas the neatest and cleanest little
body for a wife, and has three choice
children. These two we shall put onto
your gift and they will receive about
$3, 00 per month. This is a little high-
er than others but they are important
men and worth it.
The girls we have are four at present,
but we shall soon have more, as soon as
we are settled and can take them. If
you will write me again I think I shall
have pictures on band of these candi-
dates, all of them and can send you
some.
I trust that you have become indenti-
fied within: to this extent. You will keep
up the interest and never ledve us again.
It is so difficult to find people who real-
ly wish to join in this glorious mission
work. The names of your girls are Miss
Tafula, Miss Senyarana, Miss Mwaell-
ana, Miss Tsumbi. The first three are
Tongas, and the last one Sheetswa.
Their ages are 16, 6, 7, & 10 in the order
of their names. They are all learning
rapidly and Tafula and Mwaletelana can
read in the Testament. The others
are trying hard, they know their lettere
and will soon read. Now I beseech you
write us and keep track of these girls
and preaohere, and I am sure it will as-
sist you materially in knowing what is
doing on the mission field. Pray for us,
for our preachers, for our student girls
over which you have so repent an inter -
eat and Will try to do our best for you,
for them, and for Him who is Master of
us all.
With kindest regards.
Yours faithfully
E. H. RICHARDS.

Distressing Predicament of a
Duron Widow.
roronto, Oct, 19.—A sad mistake
which involves a government depart-
ment, and four Ontario families, was
brought to the notice of the Witness
correspondent yesterday by some of
those concerned. Mrs. Duping, aGod-
erioh widow, is pausing the Superinten-
dent of Neglected and Dependent Chil-
dren considerable stir. She states that
five months ago when in indigent cir-
cumstances she made over three of her
children to the department, believing
at the time, she says, that it was a tem-
porary arrangement. The children were
her youngest daughters: Flossie, aged
six; Lily, nine; and Lottie, thirteen.
They were all planed In good homes for
adoption in different parts of the prov-
ince, by Mr. Kelso, superintendent of
the department, Her sons, who are now
doing well in Manitoba, were not at
tbat time in a position to aid her. filer
eldest daughter is in service it Toronto.
The sons are anxious to support their
mother and sisters, and for the children
to be given back to their mother. The
government officials doubt if they can
force the foster parents to restore her
children.
Mr. Kelso has promised to do all in
his power. Mrs. Duning protests that
she was not made acquainted with the
extent of the powers of the papers which
she signed, and on that point appears
to rest her legal standing in the matter.

TORONTO.
Toronto, Oct. 21.—We had at the
western cattle yards here this morning
as many as 106 loads of fresh arrivals; at
noon there ten more loads to arrive, and
as in addition about forty. loads out of
yesterday's receipts were in the yards,
the accommodation was so deficient
that a lot of the stuff oould not be un-
loaded; besides this in several planes
the yards were so thick in mud that it
was impossible to move about, and trade
was seriously interfered with in copses
quence. Something ought to be done
with the market—either in the direction
of removal or improvement—at once,
before serious and probably permanent
injury is done to our live stook trade,
The' receipts to -day inoiuded 2,300 hogs,
1,000 sheep and lambs, a couple of
dozen cows, and a few calves.
Shipping cattle was dull; the lower
reports of trade in the Old Country,
published in these columns, affects busi-
ness here, and the demand continues
easy, while prices are weak at from 4 to
4ic per pound. There were some loads
of export stuff left over.
Butcher cattle was scarce, as the sup-
ply of cattle today, though large, was
made up of stockers, feeders for the
distilleries, and shipping cattle; the re-
sult being that anything like first-class
cattle here found a ready sale at from
31c up to 40 per pound; the supply of
this grade was small, and more of it
would have found an easy sale. Good
oattle sold around 3tc.; and medium
and common at 3'�c. down to 3o. per
pound. ,
Bulls for shipment were selling
from 3 to 31c per pound.
Milk cows are very scarce, and are
wanted; quotations ranged to -day from
$30 to $60 each.
Stockers fetoh from 3 to 81c per
pound. For prime stookers a shade
mere can be accounted on, but ordinary
stuff is easy.
Calves are quiet and unchanged at
from $2.50 to $6 each; and if very choice
one to two dollars more may be ob-
tained.
Shipping sheep to -day sold at from 3c
to 310 per pound, and were a slow sale
even at those low figures.
Lambs sold at 4c per pound; but if of
superior quality an extra ten cents per
cwt. was paid.
Bucks are worth 210 per pound,
Both lambs and sheep have been
lately in very large supply here, and in
consequence prices are low and week.
Far too many light hogs are coming
in; to fetch the best pride hogs must
range from 160 to 220 lbs. a little less
or more settles the price adversely for
the sellers. The best price being paid
now for choice hogs (off cars) is 4ic per
Ib; with no more than"4o for light hogs.
Stores will not sell.

paid:—
