Our Dumb Animals.
We find the following in Boston
Herald and Boston Journal of De
cember 10th, and presume it is
also in other Boston dailies:
After the battle of ElandsIaagte,
after the British Infantry had ear
ried the Bosr positions, the cavalry
reserve pursued the fugitiyes, us
ing the long lance, or spear, with
fearful effect.
An officer writes in letter pnb-
iished IN the London Times, as
follows:
"After the enemy were driven
ont one of orr sqnadr0ns pursued
and got right in among them in
the twilight, and most excellent
pig sticking ensued for about ten
minutes, the bag being about sixty.
One of our men stuck his lance
through two, killing both at one
thrust. Had it not been getting
dark we should have killed many
more. ;"
A dragon corporal told 3
Chronicle correspondent: 1.-The
Beers fell off their horses and
rolled among the rocks, hiding
their heads with their arms, call
ing for mercy, calling to be shot
anything to escape a stab from
those terrible lances through their
backs and bowels. But not many
escaped. Wa just gave them a good
dig as they lay. Next day most
of the lances were bloody"
Another lancer trooper writes
of the same incident: 1--WE got a
charge at them. They threw up
their arms and fell on their knees
for mercy, but we were told not to
give them any, and can assure You
they got none. We went along
our lances through them.
1t was a terrible thing"

IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS.

The manufacturers Of Castoria
have been compelled to spend hun
dredS of thousands of dollars to
fRmiliarize the public with the sig
nature of Chas. II. Fletcher. This
has been neceSsitated by reason Of
pirates counterfeiting the Castoria
trade-n mark. This counterfeiting is
a crime not only against the pro-
prietors of Castoria, but against
the growing generation. All per
sons should be careful to see that
Castoria bears the signature Of
Chas. Fl. Fletcher, if they would
guard the health Of their children.
Parents, and mothers in particular,
ought to carefully examine the
CaStOria advertisements which
have been appearing in this paper,
and to remember that the wrapper
of every bottle of genuine Castoria
bears the fac-simile signature of
Chas. Il. Fletcher, under whose
it has been manufac-
tured continuously for over thirty
years.-Phiia. Bulletin.
