HIDDEN BY THE BOERS. While overlooking the old court-house at Dundee, Natal, now used as the police head- quarters, the authorities discovered a box, containing a number of registered letters, several with coins and cheques representing considerable value, and other documents. These, it was evident, had been taken from the local post-Office by the Boer invaders of the town in 1899, and placed in an out-of-the- way corner in the court-house, probably for safe keeping. The documents, coins, &c., were handed to the postal officials, who will f the necessary steps to forward them to their lawful owners.

AN UNWANTED CHILD. A sensational discovery, made at Hyde by a lad named Alfred Booth, has led to the arrest. of Elizabeth Davies. The boy saw something floating in a pond, and by the aid of a. branch drew it to the side and discovered that it was the dead body of a baby. The police saw that the clothing was stamped "Stock- port Workhouse Female Hospital." Six chil- dren had been born in the workhouse during the period the ekild was thought to have been alive. Five were traced, and the prisoner, on being arrested at her mother's house at Cul- mington, Shropshire, admitted the charge. The girl is about 21 years of age; and has been in service in Heaton Moor, a suburb of Manchester.

STRUGGLE WITH A MADMAN. Details have transpired of a savage attack upon a Leicestershire doctor. Dr. Garfitt, of Kirby Muxloe, was. with his wife. spending the evening at a friend's house, when Albert Vickley Bishop, a clerk, of Glen- field, who had been sent on from the doctor's own residence, asked to see him. Dr. Garfitt had no sooner appeared than Bishop seized him by the throat and dragged him into the garden, where a desperate struggle took place. Eventually Dr. Garfitt overpowered the man, and he was conveyed to Leicester, where later two magistrates certified him as insane. Dr. Garfitt had recently to certify a near relative of the man as a lunatic, and this was, doubtless, the motive of the attack.
