THE BoERs' NATIONAL DAY.

The 18th Of the present month is the
great day of the Boers--a sort Of
Fourth Of July-and It appears that II

usual. Enthusiastic addresses were
made, and patriotic exercises held
The day is celebrated in commemora-

wildly the character Of the sturdy set

they trekked, 1t shows the quality Of

we go with a firm reliance on an all
seeing, Just and merciful God whom
we shall always fear and humbly en-
deayor TO obey"
Retief and his followers purchased
land from the Zulu chief Dlngaan. But
later this chief turned against the set
tiers and massacred a large number
Of them Retief among other leading
men. This was repeated, and 2S2 men,
women and children were cruelty slain
by the Zuus,
Then the Beers gathered together AGA
