LANDDROST OF WINBURG
We understand that Mr. Advocate VALCKENAER (of Smithfield) has accepted the appointment of Landdrost of Winburg, pending the confirmation of the Volks.
The acting President (Snyman) has departed rather suddenly for his farm on the Orange River, where his only son, a promising youth is said to be seriously ill.

Friday, 15 July, 1859

Mr. SCOTT, teacher of this place, whilst on a run during the holidays, was somewhere on the border of the Colesberg and Cradock districts, severely bitten by a pack of fierce dogs, which beset him on all sides. Mr. SCOTT, we learn, had called at and entered, a farmer’s house; and after some time, on coming out of the house, was attacked by the dogs in broad daylight, on the very stoep, without his having in any way provoked them. Mr. SCOTT was severely lacerated in the arms and legs, and would have been torn to death, unless assistance had arrived. If true, that the farmer, on being recommended to get rid of such inhospitable brutes, answered that for attacking an Englishman he would never do so – then it is time that the law should step in, to compel the keepers of vicious dogs to tie them up in the daytime, or destroy them, as any stranger on the most necessary and lawful errand, to such houses, may be exposed to danger.

We observe that our late townsman, Mr. St. P. O’Shaughnessy O’BREIN has become joint-editor of the “Albert Times” which is in course of being enlivened by productions from that gentleman’s fertile pen.

We published in our advertising columns, a report of the examination of the school at Fauresmith, conducted by Mr. EMMERSON. The branches taught are of a diversified and practical nature. Fauresmith is lucky in having secured the services of so competent a teacher.

MARRIAGE
The most brilliant matrimonial display we have witnessed in Bloemfontein, came off on Tuesday last, on the occasion of the marriage of Mr. J.F. IDDEKINGE, secretary of the Volksraad, to Miss Anna Maria, the second unmarried daughter of Mr. Landdrost van SOELEN.

NOTICE
The partnership hitherto existing between Messrs. VALCKENAER & FINLAY, has this day been dissolved by mutual consent.
All those indebited to the above firm, and all those having claims against the same will please settle their accounts with Mr. R. FINLAY.

The following notice appears in FORRES GAZETTE
“ To surviving Friends,”- A correspondent in Grahamstown, Cape Colony, writes us by last mail of the death of a Mr. John DOUGLAS, general Merchant, in Grahamstown, who died lately, immensely rich. He was a native of Forres, and his father was a tanner or curier in this town some forty or fifty years since. His relations, we learn, removed to Glasgow some time ago, where they have been lost sight of. Should this meet the eye of any of them, in their fields, they would better look after their interests in Mr. DOUGLAS’s property

THEFT AND ESCAPADE
During the night of Sunday last two horses, the property of Mr. PAGE, Merchant – and some two or three besides, belonging to other persons, including Mr. BORCHERDS – were stolen. The latter’s has since been recovered, as well as that belonging to a carpenter in town. It is conjectured that those horses had been abandoned, had strayed homewards, whilst the thieves were enjoying their first off-saddling.
Suspicion attaches to two European tradesmen, sometime working in Bloemfontein – the one, CONNOR, an Irishman and mason, the other CLARK, (not Sir George) who was for a time cobbler in the employ of Mr. PAINTER, master shoemaker of this place. We have not heard that the usual preliminary step of tracing the spoor or trail had been immediately set about. The conjecture is, that the thieves have taken the direction of Vaal River.

ANOTHER ESCAPADE
John E STONE, accused of the murder of one Patrick SMITH, whose trial was postponed from last sitting of the Combined Court of Landdrost, as reported at the time, escaped from the jail here during the night of Saturday last. Well perhaps it is as well, seeing that the fact of being so many months in the Bloemfontein prison, constitutes in itself no contemptible amount of personal suffering; and that even had Mr. STONE been brought to trial, with all the witnesses in attendance, he would have been acquitted. That he shot his companion, there is no room to doubt. That he did so under circumstances which might reduce the crime from murder to culpable homicide, there are reasons to believe. In any event, we never expected his condemnation. STONE is married to a Dutch woman, of respectable standing in this quarter

Friday, 9 September, 1859

FIRE
On the night of Wednesday last, the house of Mr. Frans JOUBERT, near Bulsburg in this district was destroyed by fire. The house was a thatched one; and it is conjectured that sparks emitted by some neighbouring fire, must have lodged under the thatch and thus caused the ignition. We hear that the first alarm of the catastrophe reached Mr. JOUBERT, was the noise of the roof of the kitchen falling in. We regret to hear that Mr. Joubert has lost everything situated within the reach of the action of the fire; even down to the wearing apparel of his household. The wonder is – seeing the careless way in which fire is dealt with – that more houses are not burnt.

SMALLPOX
The latest tidings we have had on this subject, are to the effect that, there have died on the farm of Rudolph BRITZ, Lower Modder River, seven persons in all – 5 whites and 2 blacks. The other persons who were on the place have passed through the disease successfully. With the exception of BRITS’ place we have not learnt that small pox is elsewhere in this State. The buildings on the infected farms have been burnt to the ground, with part of the bedding, &c., the other part having been submitted to a thorough cleansing and fumigation. These particulars we gather from an official report addressed to the Landdrost.

He is, at present Clerk of the Peace at Swellendam; and held the same office lately at Burghersdorp.

Dr. SMETHURST
This medical man was tried and sentenced to be executed, for the poisoning of a Miss BANKES. He has been respited by the Queen, as doubts arose as to the real cause of Miss. BANKES’ death. The guilt of Dr. SMETHURST, according to the evidence, secured pretty conclusive. The axiom, however, that it is better that 99 guilty escape, than that one innocent person should suffer, is the safe course. A man can be robbed, ruined, sent to wander the world over, friendless and houseless. These adversities may be repaired or redressed. But take a man’s life, and no degree or intensity of regret, can restore him to life, although his memory may be purified.

We learn that STANFIELD and KERR, imprisoned on the charge of having robbed the mail from this to Colesberg as formerly reported, have effected their escape. So much for the efficiency of our prisons. We elsewhere refer to the subject of our gaols.

We learn that Mr. Johannes KLOPPER from Camdeboo, district of Graaff Reinet, has arrived here during the past wek, with his family and stock, and has purchased the two farms formerly the property of Mr. B.W. RICHTER, on Kromspruit, Upper Modder River, District Bloemfontein, for £3000.
