It is now seen that the a'tempt to hold a useless position at Male king was a serious tactical mis take as was also the endeavor to keep the large civii population in Kim berly. South African news is now sixdavs in arrears. The censorship does not yet permit details of the Modder river battle to be transmilted. Some vague statements have been published in the Cape Town papers, and according to those the Boers numbered 8,000 men and were entrenched on both batiks of the stream, although mostly on the northern bank. The British, according to those accounts, drove the enemy aeross the river, compelling them to retreat and established themselves on both banks. A dispatch has reached London announcing that Lord Methuen is again in the field. REVOLT IN CAI'K COLONY Serious news comes trom the northern sections of ' 'ape Colony.

The Times, in an editorial thus endeavors to temper the feeling created by Mr. Chamberlain'.* "admitted indiscreet enthusiasm," says: "Lord Koseborrv's criticisms are perfectly justified, but it would be ungrateful to lose >i?ht of the fact that it is due very largely to Mr. Chamberlain's personal influence that the improved state of feeling, improperly do scribed its 'alliance,' and, perhaps, not altogether properly even as 'understanding;,' lias been brought about between Croat.

Mr. Editor :?Thanksgiving was observed by the people generally and its festivities were enjoyed bv all. About 10 o'clock the people began to assemble at Tabernacle church, and by 11 o'clock?the appointed hour for services? rjuite a number of people had as sembled, to hear the Rev. Allon McFarlan preach, as had been previously announced. It is useless for ns to say that his sermon whh enjoyea oy aii present. tie presented his subject in such a" manner that he held his addience ipell bound, for more than an hour, al ter which a collection was taken for the Kpworth Orphanage. After the preaching services, all went to their homes or to the homes of their neighbors and friends, to feast, upon '"Turkey" and all the other good things that always weight, down the tables of our generous-hearted people. Also about 5 o'clock in the evening the well-known sounds of the academy bell were heard, inviting the patrons and people generally to assemble at the academy to enjoy a rare treat, in the way of a most, enjoyable supper and entertainment given by the school. Your correspondent, when arriving at the academy, found that a great number had already pre ceded him, and continued to come until quite a large number hud taken their placea in the large and commodious school-room. About half pant nix, the house was called to order by Prof. Walter Belk, the supper having been previously spread. A blessing was pronounced bv Rev. Allen McFarlan, after which the congregation was seated, and %vero served by several ladies and gentlemen who had been oppointed j by Mr. and Mrs. Bulk, teachers of the school. Supper was enjoyed by a I!, and j will be remembered in years to come by all present. After supper was ovei, there | was a very pleasant entertain-! ment given by the school, consist- ; ing o< recitations, songs, etc , that were a credit and honor to both i teachers and pupils. The people then went to iiieir homes thinking that, "it had been good to he there." Sckctatok. A U TO NTAltT.
