Now, brethren, we read in Thk Entkkpkisk sometime ago an article' from an Allianceman which we enjoyed very much. :Iri this article was set forth the financial part of the Alliance. Don't think that we mean to criticise; we wish to carry the Alliance principles a little far ther. Man lias a mental and moral as well as a physical exis tence, and both should be equally developed. Our aims are high; our purpose noble. We aim to elevate man by blending together, thus dissolving prejudice and all selfishness, to constantly strive to secure entire harmony and good Will among all mankind and brotherly love among ourselves We arc Allied together to ren der the lives of farmers and labor era more attractive and country life less lonely. We aim, by cul tivating the mind, to reach s ibigher degree of intelligence.

London, Oct. 16.?So far as actual news is concerned, very lit tie change in the situation is to be noticed. The state of affairs at Mafeking can only be conjectur ed. The occupation of New Oastle by the Boers was prepared for and expected, the fc>lace having been abandoned by the British. The Boers are reported to be menacing Kimberley. , Very heavy rains ahd snow are reported which hamper the Boer movements and they are finding that they began too late to gain the initial successes they counted ou. They evidently found the ad vance upon Harrismith difficult, either from the north and weBt, ' as Gen. Sir George Stewart ; White's reconnaissance seems to i have autficed to deter them for the present. The peaks of the Drakensburg | range are snow covered, and the storms which have occurred must i have caused the Boers great discomfort which probably explains their failure to attack Gen. White. Masterly inactivity characterizes the operations on both sides. ' PerBisten rumors are in circula tion that .he Schreiner ministry t to Cape Colonv has been dismiss) ed and that Mr. ross Innes has been asked to form a cabinet. These rumors, however, are without foundation. sir Aitred Milner hag wired to Mr. Chamberlain the text of an ' intlamatory circular which Field Cornet Viljeoti circulated in Joi hannesburg gome weeks ago with a view of incensing the Afrikan * ders on both sides of the Orange river against England. I DIAMOND TOWN BKBIKOBD BY CON ' SIDKRABLB FORCE. ^ London, Oct. 10.?The Daily ' Mail's Capetown correspondent, telegraphing Sunday evening ^ says: Kimberly is besieged and ' the Boers are masking in force. No details, however, are obtiina* Ll? UIO. The Boers have cut the railway at Belmont, have seized the Spyfontein railway station and conatructed fortified earthworks. There are strong defending forces at Madder Bridge and OraDge I river bridge. i "The object of these energetic - opeiations is believed to be the capture of Cecil Rhodes. Kimber , ly is now isolated, both railway r and telegraphic communication , being cut." , Capetown, Oct. 15.?The Mad-j der river station master reports that firing has beon heard in the HO It OKI) TDK GRAVE. A startling incident, of which Mr. 1 John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : 'I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sun| ken, tongue coated, pain continually in bark amd sides, noawaatite?irradu ally growing weaker day by day. Three physicians bad given ine up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying F.lectric Hitters; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a oecided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.

Nisbitt's train, which was derailed and bombarded by 'the Boers, states that if the train had returned when warning was re ceived the Boers held the line, it could easilv have made its way back to Maribogo, but Oapt Nes bitt insisted upon an endeavor being made to reach Mafeking. "When the pilot engine whs derailed," said Flowerdew, \v.? spent a half hour trying to ro place it on the track. Then the Boers commenced firing, and *ev eral men were wounded. 9 "The lining was kept up all p night, but without effect. The f Boers were careful to concentrate their fire upon the engine, so as ^ to save the armored carriage and amuuition trucks. At dawn they commenced to bombard the cars. I escaped by crawling a mile and ^ a half on my belly in the sand. H When both engines were destroy v ed Capt. Nesbitt exhibited flags c of truce, but the Boers continued r their firing for another quarter of" w an hour. M ''There is no doubt that all the H others on the train are prisoners and that the carriage and the am * munition intact fell into the ^ hands of the Boers. 1 "Flnwerdew was fearfullv bruised. "There is au unconfirmed ru H mor that the imperial forces 111 r tercepted a body of Transvaal Bo B ers who were attempting to join ' the Boer forces at Madder river and that a heavy eng<gement or curred at Spyfontein station, south of Kiraberlev." THE U08PITAL TRAIN HAD A NARROW ESCAPE. Nryburg, Cape Colony, Oct. 15. ?A hospital train that started for Maribogo has just returned after an adventurous journey. It had reached a curve on a culvert seven hundred yards south of Maribogo and had iust. slackened . ? ? I speed when it r.as observed that t the rails ahead had been uptured. j The brakes were applied, bur the ( engine passed on to one rail part- | lv raised, and was derailed. 'Ihe ( occupants immediately righted ^ the engine. At the time it was ( observed that a party of Boers ( were galloping into the line east j of the railway, but well on the Cape Colony side of the border. Some of the passengers declared f that they saw a cannon poin * 11 at me train, i ne intention ot the Boers was apparently hostile. The train ran back to Vrybnrg at full speed, the engine flying a white " flag with a red cross. Picks and shovels were seen lying about and the Boers had apparently been disbursed while removing the rails. Previous to the starting of the train Maribogo telephoned Vrvburg asking that the train be sent up as all was quite safe. The operator at Vrybnrg recognized the voice of a European store clerk, and it is believed the Boers compelled him to speak through the telephone. The nearest Boer command to Vrybnrg is Laagered, north of Sch#eizerrenk, 20 miles distant, ir.ft fvn mill! 'P.. I x. v '? w tunrn i uniijc tUU 1 I HI1B- I vaal.
