He fell sick about three weeks since, and was removed to the hospital here, where he died on Monday last heart disease. The funereal was conducted with military honours, the men of the deceased's regiment attending in force from the district stations of Queenstown, Whittlesea, Tylden Post, Macibini, and Glen Grey, under the command of Inspector HARVEY, and Sub-Inspector JOPLIN.

Interesting Malay Wedding.
The festivities in connection with the celebration of the marriage of Miss Goghara (Georgina) MANAN with Hadje Mogamed BEARDIEN commenced on Monday at the house of the bride's aunt, Capetown.

The wedding festivities took place in a large room in Rose-street, which was literally packed with friends of the bride and bridegroom, the majority of the company being of the softer sex, who were resplendent in brilliant dresses, and wreathed with gold and silver flowers, or orange blossoms...
