NATAL.

The correspondent U tha Lyttdto n Times witb the Eighth Contingent fcbua desoribea Natal from Pietermari'z burg" to Newcastle :— After leaving here it was daylight, and we were able to sea tha sort of country tbafc we weretraveliingthrough. and we ware all greatly astonished at Us beauty and fertility, Ia formation ii reminded me *cry much of Qimiru alter a favourable spring. A-i hr as the eye dould reach were beautifully I green rolling downs, covered with » coarse kind of cocksfoot graca and trees everywhere. Truly a magnificent coun try. There was not much cuhivntim but I saw some In© patohas of maize— ..the second,or third crop of the yejr, mad some green barley looking well, and a second crop of potatoes, Our old friend the weeping willow, looking as green and fresh aa it ever does on the Avon, was to be seen everywhere, and the gate, the heather 9 the pipkr, thp pine, besides the native trees, made a very much prettier show than do tLe plantations, about Canterbury.

All day we kept on seeing fine mobs 0! cattle and occasionally teams of trek oxen— bullock: teams we call them in Hew Zealand. The cattle were all sleek and fat. As to breed, they weo different to anything that we have in New Zealand, tmra like the Holsteins or Dutch cattle than anything else. As beef oftttle and a 9 working cattle, ■ should say ife wotild he hard to hnat them. I have not yet had time to find crafc anything about their dairyiu.» qualities. I learned from a farmer with whom I had some talk at one of the stations .that cattle were very so ire in Natal, and Id fact in the whole of Sooth Africa, and that the eatMa tha* we isaw were worth about J>ls per head, including calves and young stock. He said th»t a good milk cow was cold for J64S by auction the day before, and thali lifaey were giving three ehilling pergallon for milk at the dairy fiotory Eggs, too, I found oat, were selling at 4iper dosra at; Durban, so that farm ing should be a fairly paying occu pation. My farmer friend said tha the land sold at from one to thm pounds per acre about his district, and that the trouble was to get suffie'ert flock to itock it, Wh*fe with tlr war, rinderpest, red water and one thing and another, the country had almost been cleared of eatttf Inoculation had been very successful ia checking the rinderpis*-, and red water was ctased mostly by the cattle •11 drinking oat of dams and ■ "Boin^ yarded in dirty firda at night. Thos. old Dutch farmers are terribly consorva fire m tbeir ideas, and it is an acta&i fao6 difficult fMr a New Zfl«land<r to believe that they look upon scib in ihrop, red water »nd rinderpest in catU< and theiwuaet as visitations from G>d tb»t it would be siaful to try and b»ttle will). The Nattl country will always be too strong for mirino sheep ; the ones we saw from the Hoe were wretched looking animala, bat for cattle tnd some sorts ofcropßj Baoh «c iucf rnp, maia? and pumpk;ns, I have nover seen anything better. It ia sooh • well watered country, too. In Natal there aro great numbers of little creeks and water can be got almost anywue>e by sinking walls a fow feot. In the Transvaal it is only nooessary to c, something likf» lOOffc to got an almos' unlimited flapply of water, «n<l yet thp old bands depend almost entirely upon dams, *nd no local government at pre ieni cm make them alter their ways.

Another Neuralgic w Sufferer Cured. The Case of Mrs. C. FORD. {By a Local Reporter.) A reporter, acting upon instructions called at the residence of Mrs. Celie Ford, which is located at No. 12 St. .Asaph-street, Chxistchurch. The viva cious manner in which the writer was re ceived indicated Mrs. Ford's willingness to discuss a subject which had obtained a vast amount of popularity. "You appear to be in the best of health and spirits now," remarked our representative. "I am pleased to say that my health could not be better than it is now, and has been for the past six years. All ■fchajtl time has elapsed sincei I was cured of the very worst of ailments. To my mind, neuralgia is the most pain ful of complaints, yet those who suffer from it seem to get but very little sym fathy. I had such a severe attack that did not know what I was doing half my time. Often 1 have thought i was being driven out of my senses." "Bo you know how it originated, Mrs.. FordP" "I believe it oame on through catch ing a severe cold. It commenced with frightful sharp pains in the face, which worked right up to the top of my head. My gums were sore and ten der, making any attempt to masticate my food quite out of the question*! al though I nad very little inclination for eating, as my appetite was feeble for some time, and then it died away alto gether. There was one period in par ticular which I am not likely to tor get. For three weeks the agonising torture did not leave off for a moment." " I suppose you did not sleep very wellP"* " Sleep! Why, I did not close my eyes throughout the whole of that long at tack. And then my system collapsed. I could not hold up against the worry ing torment any longer. If I took a small portion of milk diet it affected me as adversely as though I had eaten a solid meal. A sense of general un easiness, accompanied with pricking pains between my shoulders, and a heavy feeling in the chest, helped to increase the miseries of my existence. My nerves were unsettled so much thai I was upset and frightened by<§any sudden *sound, which always set" me trembling violently. I became greatly reduced in weight, my face being drawn pinched, and haggard, besides losing all my strength. If I stood up quickly my head used to swim round and round, and then I was overcome by a feeling of faintness which made me clutch at anything handy for support. My suf ferings were so intense that I could not describe them properly if I tried all day, and the anguish was accelerated by the fact that I could get no relief from anything I tried." "What remedies did you give a trial?" « "0h 3 1 tried all sorts of different me dicines from chemists, besides apply ing hot bandages, which sometimes gave me a little ease; but the pains gra dually came back again, and were soon twice as severe and irritating as they were before. Then, when I commenced to think my complaint was going to re main for the rest of my life, a friend who had been a great sufferer from neural gia called and told me how she had oeen cured by Clements Tonic after having vainly experimented with other medicines. My hopes were raised by this information, and I quickly had a bottle of Clements Tonic in my house, I think people ought never to be with out it in case of necessity, for it is certainly the best medicine ever sold I took several doses of Clements Tomo during, the night, and I found the ter rific shooting pains becoming less and less severe, although they kept me awake till the morning dawned, when I fell into ecmnd sleep, and when I awoke the neuralgia was -cured. I was delighted and overjoyed, yet I took the precaution to keep on with Clements Tomo to ensure the defeat of my com plaint. The result was that Clements Tonic settled my nerves completely, and restored my digestive organs to a healthy state. I regained my appetite, and soon got stout and strong. Neural na or ill-health of any description has aever since troubled me. I have oiten recommended Clements Tonic to my friends, always with satisfactory results, I and you may publish my statements in any way." -<-•- :<;• STATUTORY DECLARATION. I Cslie Ford, ot is St. Asaph-street, Christ church, in the Colony ot New Zealand, do sol emnly and sincerely declare that I have care fully read the annexed document, consisting of two folios and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and ialthiui account nt mv illness and cure by Clements Tonic and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements, which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue ot the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled •' The justices ot Peace Act, 1882.'
