It is said that with the satno amount of business this year the amount of profit to divide will bo double that of last year. 10 per cent, of t';e profits go to tho State while 90 per cent, is to be divided between tho towns and counties.

They have driven the Boors back several times and captured a number of wagon?, but are stubbornly resisted at. every ford or convenient place in the hills. The Boers have however captured more than enough of the British wagons to make up for their loss. They are not so near whipped as some would think. It is a noticeable fact that the British are not picking up any guns at the evacuated camps although they claim t > have captured considerable ammunition. FRRR MAIL DELIVERY.
