LOSS OF A YOUNG MAN ON TABLE MOUNTAIN
The Cape Town papers report the melancholy death of a young man named GREGORY, a clerk with Messrs. Saul SOLOMON & Co, under peculiarly distressing circumstances. It appears that deceased, in company with some companions, left Cape Town on Saturday with the intention of ascending Table Mountain, when a dense fog came on and he got separated from the party. Search was made for him by a number of persons, and the body was discovered on Tuesday, in a cleft of rock, lying on the face, quite dead. The finger-nails of the deceased were worn down and torn in a dreadful manner, shewing the efforts he had made to rescue himself from his perilous position. The bushes near him were slightly scorched, the unfortunate youth having tried to light a fire to preserve himself from starving. The mountain was enveloped in mist during the whole of Sunday and Monday, which rendered the search on those days futile.

[Transcriber’s Note: The DN of Edwin William Storey GREGORY can be found here]

Sir,
We deem it highly necessary that the Constituency of this Province should be represented in Parliament by those who not only have an interest in its welfare, but who possess local experience, and a thorough knowledge of its requirements, social as well as political.
Your long residence on the North Eastern border of the Colony, and in the important district of Cradock, and your extended business connections with all parts of the Frontier districts, must necessarily have made you intimately acquainted with those matters which bear more immediately on the interests of the inhabitants of this portion of the Colony: added to which, our knowledge of your character, and of the interest you take in all questions which have for their aim the welfare of the Colony at large, is such as to justify us in expressing an opinion that in the event of your consenting to become a candidate for a seat in the Legislative Council, you will well and faithfully represent the interests of all classes.
We have only further to add that should you accede to our request we shall use our best efforts to secure your election.
We are, dear Sir,

Sir,
We the undersigned, electors of Graaff-Reinet, do ourselves the honour of again soliciting your services to represent the interests of this important division in the ensuing Legislative Council.
In pledging ourselves to use our every effort to secure your election, we deem it but fair to state that we have been induced to do so not from any wish on our part to tie you down to any particular line of policy, or to fetter the freedom of your own judgement by exacting from you any special pledges.
Your deep concerns in the landed interests in this division, and your extensive, varied and intimate acquaintance with every district of the province, combined with the lively interest you have invariably taken in public matters, render you peculiarly qualified, not only to represent the interests of this division, but at the same time to advocate the cause of the Eastern province generally.
