THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

last week, claiming that he attempted
a criminal assault upon well

to be a lie If the truth was known

she was only his mistress, but by
being caught in company with her the
poor fellow had TO die. Just so the

AFRICAN EMIGRATION.

In the study of the proposition OF

+bouebt that if emigration to any part

desirable South Africa would be more
desirable on account of the saluprlous-
,,ose of the climate and the more eX-
tended opportunities offered by the
English occupants of the Boer country

abandoned. as the same conditions as
rravail in the Southland of this coun-
