DEATH OF CETEwAYo.-A despatch from
London reports the death of Cetewayo, the
famous Zulu chieftain, who is said to have
died of heart disease. He succeeded his
father, Panda, as king of the zulus in 1872.
Three years later his aggressive policy and
his prosecutions of the missionaries involved
him in dispute with the government of Ma
tai, and war resulted. In January, 1879,
his dominion was invaded by the British, and
in the end Cetewayos army was utterly over
thrown and his power broken beyond recov-
cry. He fled to the bush, where he was cap
tured by a scouting party. The captive king
was sent to Cape Town and kept there for a
time as q state prisoner. After detention
of nearly two years, he was permitted TO Wis
it England, and, as the result of his visit, his
kingdom was restored to him. He was rein
stated as king of Zululand on the 31st of
January 1888, but was at once involved in
hostilities with his brother Oham and north
ern chief named Usibepu, and since then his
reign has been troubled one.

Readsboro, and II sufficient capital is not
nledped before spring to build the road, the
Newton Bros. will undertake to build IL alone.
North Adams people know but little of the
prosperity of the section east of the snow
Clad mountains. The expenditure at Reads
boro to the present time, by the Newtons, is
about $3.50, 600. The dam across the Deer
field alone cost $4,000 It is about so feet
biph. and gives fall of 80 feet to the lower
wheel Of the mill. A raceway OF nearly so
rods, hewn almost from solid rock conducts
the water to the wheels. The proposed rail-
road will be built along this raoeway, and the
depot will be located at the dam, right on the
publio highway. The proprietors Of these
works are also owners Of the chemical and
other paper mills in Holyoke, and they use all
the pulp made at Readsboro. The mill turns
out about 20 tons of pulp day, and the cost
of oarting is so great that the railroad is a
thing of the near future. The spruce from
which the pulp is made is cut along the banks
of the Deerfeld river.
