VERMONT JOURNAL WEDNESDAY
IN SOUTH AFRICA.

LONDON, May 9.-Tbe tidings from
Mafeking are gloomier than ever. Ev-
erybody there has an empty stomach
and punched face. The natives are
no niger given even porridge and the
whites now have nothing but Il quart
Of that substance and pound of horse
sausage daily. Everything else eat
able has gone. insufficient food, wet
trenches aud cold nights are deadly to
he health of the garrison. This in
formation comes from reliable natives.
A Mafeking correspondent of the
Times, who also emphasizes the ex-
RENE gravity of the situation, says:
1T is impossible to ignore the fatal
significance of Col. Baden-Poweps
reference to the hardehlps endured by
ne women and children, among whom
many deaths have already occurred.
The commissariat is holding a certain
took of foodstuffs in reserve for use in
he direst extremity"
Four thousand British cavalry water
I'd their horses at Zlnd river Monday
morning, twenty-five miles beyond
Smaldeel, where Lord Roberts con-
tuues to date bis dispatches. The
scouts who have been searching the
country for miles along the stream
have found no Beers south of the river.
The enemy are lasgered in unknown
force on the north bank.
Thus the British advance guard is
within forty-6ve miles of Kroonstad.
The Free Staters, in the expectation
that Kroonstad will speedily become
untenable are, according to information
from Lourenzo Marquee, preparing to
transfer their government to Heilbron,
little more than fifty miles northeast.
Correspondents at headquarters are
now wiring freely concerning the incl
dents connected with the occupation OF
Smyldeel. Some evaporation is ex-
pressed at the ease with which the
Beers escape with their transports be-
fore the very eyes of the British. For
instance, when the British entered
Smaldeel, the Boer OK wagons coolly
out-epanned only FIVE miles away as il
in contempt of the ability of the British
to overtake them.
Lord Roberts is described as Brightly
unwilling to sacrifice his horses for the
sake of comparatively minor advant
age" Nevertheless the waste in horse
flesh in spite of all precautions is enor
nous.
LONDON, May TO- - Lord Roberts
with his main force has crossed the
Zand river. This means another Ions
jump this time of thirty-eight miles
toward Pretoria. Following is Lore
Roberts announcement of his lates
advance:

1t would appear that we are at present
passing through "dog days" instead of the
budding spring time. The occupants of the
Phelps place in ward six are demanding the
death of the canine owned by Joseph Bru-
nell, which, they allege, they caught the
other day in the act of killing their hens
two Of which are now among the silent
dead. Wednesday afternoon Horace Law
renee shot and killed the dog owned by
William Rivers, while he was mutilating,
so Mr.. Lawrence alleges, one of his sheep.
Mr. Rivers does not believe his dog would
chase sheep. He takes his death much at
heart and says il such were the case it
would have been but courtesy on the part
of Mr., Lawrence to have entered a clai m
for damages, which he would have gladly

My quarters are with the infantry
which accompanied the force. We are
eight miles north of the river. The
cavalry and mounted infantry are at
Ventersburgh. General Tucker is at
Deelfontein. General Hamilton's force
was with Broadwood's cavalry, making
for the cross roads near Ventersburgh

Members of the House of Commons
were freely betting in the Hobbies last
evening that Lord Roberts would be in
Pretoria in two months. The minister
ialists are building confident hopes upon
the comprehensive plans he has COM
municated to the war office. Predic-
tons are definitely made he will enter
Kroonstad next Monday.

James Frank Doggett, was men,
Der of John M. Barrere Post-G. A. r.
for number of years. Comrade Dog
gett has three honorable discharges
from the U. S. service during the war
of the rebellion. Very early in the
war he enlisted in the End Ohio Vol
unteers, as member of the Regimen
tai Band, at the expiration of term of
service he re-enlisted, on the Goth day
of October 1861, in Company F. Goth
Regiment o. V. I. from which regi-
ment he was discharged June 3Oth
1862, after being discharged from this
I'd enlistment, he again re-enlisted
on August 9th 1862, in Company A.
S9th Regiment O. vi. On September
10th he was promoted to Regimental
Commissary Sergeant, one of the most
difficult positions to fill in any regi-
ment, for on the actions of the Com
missary Sergeant largely depended
the living of the men. We are in
formed by an officer over Comrade
Doggett, that at all times and under
very difficult circumstances he was
discharging his duties, looking to the
Commissary Department., and that at
very many times when the men were
foot sore, hungry and tired, Comrade
Doggett would have provided for
them, such places as only competent,
and sometimes pugnacious officer
would succeed, in securing these ne
cessities, not only to sustain life, but
to enable the men to go forward and
to endure. Comrade Doggett served
in this position until his regiment was
discharged, on September 10th 1865,
having been in the service of his
country over fonr years.
After his discharge and the war be-
ing over Comrade Doggett returned
to his home and family, and took up
the duties of citizen, became active
ly engaged in his profession as a
painter, feeling that he had done
what he could to preserve his country
and save his country's flag, and with
that feeling only possessed by an old
loyal soldier, who fought as God had
filed him with patriotism, and the
love of Freedom.
Comrade Doggett was always an en-
terprising citizen, in love with his
home, his town and his church, and al
ways ready to lend helping hand to
the needy, and now he has gone to his
eternal reward, to reap the rewards
of just soul made perfect, and where
you and l, my comrades, will soon all
journey. Are we ready?

Granted the Pike.

The turnpike from Buford to
Danville, which has been occupying
the attention of the County Commits
sioners for several weeks, was granted
Monday. The pike has attracted
more interest than any pike ever
granted in Highland county in pro-
portion to its length. The petitioners
and demonstrators were so evenly di-
vided that the final count stood 96
for to 95 against. Nearly everyone
on both sides has appeared in the case
and much bad feeling has been engen-
dered, the attorneys nearly coming to
blows several times. The remon-
strators will probably take the case
into court.
