DISTRESSING BEREAVEMENT
We learn from the Vaal River correspondent of De Volksvriend, that the only surviving son of President PRETORIUS, of the Orange Free State, died at Potchefstroom on the 20th ult. New had reached His Honour at Bloemfontein of the dangerous illness of the child, and although he, together with Mrs. PRETORIUS, travelled with excessive rapidity, they arrived but a few hours after their son had breathed his last. The anguish of the parents, that of the mother especially, was overwhelming, intensified perhaps by the fact that deceased was the tenth child that they have buried. Only one daughter remains of so large a family.

Mr. Eugene CHABAUD, of Quagga’s Vlakte, brother of Gustavus CHABAUD Esq, of this town, met with his death on Wednesday the 3rd inst. under the following distressing circumstances:- It appears that the unfortunate gentleman was accompanying a load of produce to the Bay, and when near the Creek, about two miles outside the town, on the previous evening, he attempted to get on the wagon by springing on to the disselboom. In doing so, the after ox kicked him, his foot slipped, and he fell under the fore wheel. His body, terrible to relate, thus locked the wheel for some six to eight yards, when the heavy vehicle passed over the lower region of his back, fracturing the ribs, and crushing the liver. In this state the attendants placed him on the wagon and brought him in to Port Elizabeth. Dr. ENSOR was promptly summoned, and remained with him the most of the night, but from the first there was not the slightest hope of his recovery, and he expired in great agony about 2pm on Wednesday. What adds to the distressing character of this event is the fact that deceased has left a widow and six young daughters to mourn over their loss.
