He recorded the whole of his ten votes for Mr. GODLONTON.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT
We regret to hear of a sad accident which happened at Bedford on Thursday 13th instant, resulting in the almost immediate death of a promising boy of 12 years old, named Andrew BRINK, nephew of Mr. BRINK of Bedford. It appears that on Thursday evening Mr. Jan JORDAAN, of the Goba, rode up to Mr. BRINK’s hotel at Bedford and went in, leaving his horse (Callboy) in charge of the ostler. The deceased, with some other boys, was standing outside. They began chaffing him, and said he was afraid to mount the horse. They then went in and asked Mr. JORDAAN if they might ride the horse a little way. After some hesitation, Mr. JORDAAN gave them permission, and the deceased got upon the horse. He rode him a little way down the street, and on returning past the hotel, put him into a canter. Unfortunately the stirrups, being too long for the boy’s feet to reach them, struck against the horse’s sides and he bolted. The result was that the poor boy was thrown off and received such injuries that he died within an hour.

GRATITUDE
The gratitude of this world as a general rule is what our American cousins would call thin. But we have occasional instances that gratitude is not so much at a discount as some people assume. A short time back Mr. Maurice JOSEPH, of Capetown, helped a stranger he met on the road to the Diamond-fields. Time flew by, and the giver had forgotten his kindness, but not so the recipient of it. He arrived back in Capetown a few days back a wealthy man, and his first act was most graceful. He called at the house of Mr. JOSEPH, and laying his fortune of diamonds before him, asked him to help himself, for it was through him that they were there. Mr. JOSEPH very properly accepted a small token of remembrance, and we have no doubt will keep it as a memento that kindness is not always forgotten. – Standard and Mail.

FOUND DEAD – A SAD CASE
Yesterday morning the dead body of a man was found by a police constable in one of the back parts of New-street. The body was that of a Prussian, a comparative stranger in town, named Frietz BOWDER. Deceased, who was well connected in his native country, and was formerly hcapital [sic] sergeant in Her Majesty’s Volunteer Regiment in the East Indies, arrived in town about a fortnight since from the Fields. Since his arrival in Grahamstown the poor fellow has been on the “spree” and death is supposed to have been caused by exposure and Cape Brandy.

THE LATE MR. D. GLASS, who departed this life in Grahamstown on the 18th ult, came out to this colony when a boy with the British Settlers of 1820. Throughout his career he was always known to be a thoroughly upright and consistent man of business, while his kind hospitality to those who visited his farm will long be remembered by the recipients. The precepts of the Bible were his chart in life and its promise his hope in death. The deceased was one of the oldest members of the Albany Brethren Society, and was a respected and esteemed member of the Bathurst Divisional Council. His loss to the neighbourhood in which he resided will be sincerely felt. (Communicated)
