berg, Rosmead junction and Naauw-
poort are to be evacuated.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
Pietermaritzburg, Natal, dated Novem-
Der 3, which says: THE Dutch resi-
dents here have received news of a
sanguinary battle fought yesterday,
probably between Ladysmith and Co
lenso. A large number of the Beers
were killed, many being relatives of
Natal Dutch residing in this place.
The correspondent of the Times at
Dadysmith, under date of NOV. 2, con-
firms the report of artillery exchanges.
He says:"The investment of the town
is now practically complete. Last night
the enemy tapped the wires in our
rear. He can therefore cut our commu-
nication whenever he pleases. 1t is
suggested, however, that the Beers be-
lieve that Ladysmith is in their power
and that they are therefore anxious to
have us get up all our military stores
before they attack us.

LOST HIS WIFE.
Brakeman Goes to Boston in Search
Of Her.

Rochester, N. H., Nov. civilian
Bowers, a fireman on the Worcester
and Nashua division of the Boston and
Maine, went to Boston this morning
for the purpose of instituting a search
for his wife.
He lives in Somersworth, on the Ber-
wick side of the Salmon Falls river,
and it seems that Mrs. Bowers was to
enter the Massachusetts general hos
pital for treatment.
She left Somersworth last Tuesday
morning, travelling alone, and ar
rangements had been made for her re-
ception at the hospital. Up to this
morning Mr.. Bowers had received no
word from his wife, and, becoming
anxious, communicated with the hos
pital, only to learn that she had not
been there
1t was the intention of Mr.. Bowers
to visit the Boston hospitals, thinking
that possibly his wife might-have made
a mistake and entered the wrong in
stitution, and if he failed to find her
to invoke the aid of the Boston po-
lice.

took the duck with her in a basket by

ninety-five miles, and in n coach ten
miles to her new home. Soon the
duck which had been liberated from
its basket, was missed and mourned
for as lost. Some time after the house
