TRANSVAAL WAR.

NOVEL " OATTLE-LIFIING.

The late G W Steevens, the London Daily MaiPs special, was at the beginning of Daoember shut up in Ladysmith along with eight other correspondents (ooe of them being the representative oi the Sydney Morning Herald, and another Mr M'Donald, Observer of the Argus } Mr Steevens, how ever, managed to get this characteristic communication forwarded to his journal :—

The bombardment is dangerous enough to cause us diequiet, but it is not dangerous enough to be exciting. Our recent casual ties are : On Wednssday, the 22nd, a Natal policeman was killed while cooking in a cellar, and a shell traversed the hospital, killing two orderlies ; on Thursday a man was killed in the hospital; three persons were wounded at the railway station, among them being the first woman who has been wounded during the siege. She was wounded in three places, bub is doing well. The Boetß continue to mount fresh guns, appa rently 12 centimetre howitz re, of very high velocity. Their shells seldom burst, but they dive about 9ft into the earth. Ou Wednesday one struck a tree above the tent of the colonel of the Light Horse. It was dug up intact, with itß point upwards. The same day an 81b splinter Bins shed the table where Colonels Rhodes and Dick Conyngham and Major Riddeli were having tea. " To-day (November 24) we have had two novelties in the art of war. The first was the v c of shell fire for rounding up and driving cattle. The Boers noticing a mob of trek oxen grazing unusually far out, planted shells between them and our lines. The Native herdsmen bolted to the river bank, and the Boers, shortening the range, gradually drove the oxen towards them selves. Some mounted infantry went out aud attempted to drive the oxen in with j iheir r.fle butts. They were reoeived with a heavy artillery and rifle fire, and two of thoir horses were killed. The rider of one of the slain horses coolly removed the saddle and bridle, and carried them home. Only eighty of the oxen were saved ; five were killed and 2CO lo»t. The other novelty was the use of a railway engine aB a projectile. We discharged an empty locomotive along the Harriemith line in the hops of disabling the railway. The result of the experiment h'B not bot-n ascertained."

k*yiia p a i i « , THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY. ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH CVER ; " HYDATIDS." & grateful Patient gives unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this preat Herbal K<w"iv. Read oarefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Packingaton st., St. Kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke at, Si- f As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remciiy, "Vitadatio," has been the Bold means of suviug my life I think the least J c v do i? to hand you this testimonial, co that others suffering the same as myself may know i i hat there is a certain reliable cure for them in ' Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given x fair trial. The s;mple facts of my case are as follows:—For the past 10 years I have ; been under the treatment of dootors in Fitzroy ! an 1 St. Kilda, as well as some of the beat in i Ooliicß Dtteet. Some were of opinion that 1 I wus suffering from consumption, whilst ! others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure I me. You can easily imagine that I had little ho t je of ever being eur^d. But one day I r.o.iced an advertised cure by "Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, Ithought I would give 't a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottlea, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the doctor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. 1 continued to vomit theße " Hydatids" for some time, but at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the " Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day 1 aan honestly Btate I have never felt better in the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known in Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much J astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be | pleased to apeak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at perfect liberty to make what use you like of this j testimonial. I may add I am now able to do ail my own household work; a thing I have j been usable to do for years.—Yours very grate ully, Mm) OARRIB HO CKING Witness-G E Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
