In addition to severe internal m jurJpfc, one of his feet is so seriously injured that amputation may be necessary, and he was last night in a very critical condition. The Zulu War was continued at the Volun- t j or Hill last night beforo another crowded audience. As on the previous nitjht every thing went smoothly (of oourso with tho ex ception of tho torpedo explosion) and satis f ictorily to tho audience. Tho campaign will be continued to-night.

Tt is quite apparent that tho necessity for yards at Herbert does exist, and tho unanimity of the Council on the subject proves this to « great extent. Besides, the loan that the department suffers every year through stock being dri/en to imrkot is something considerable and the same amount turned into railway receipt inonoy might almost construct the cattle yards. Again tho excellence of the breod of Ayr shiro cattle in this district has b<en demon strated.
