A CLEVER CAPTURE. A smart piece of wotk was performed by a Lancer with General Little'n column when naar Hoopetad. It appears that this Lancer (accompanied by • celocel) was oat scooting, when the two were surprised by a party of seventeen Boers, and compelled to surrender. Their rifles were taken from them, and they w#re marched off, The Boers eventually formed a camp, and were soon busy with half-grilled mutton and coffee. Apparently the two prisoners were left pc6tty much to their own devices, and the Lancer had so profited by this (hat when he drew a concealed, revolver from under his tunic, a glance showed the enemy that they were undone, as he had worked his way along to where the rifles were stacked in a corner of the c%mp, Perceiving the iseleaincsa of resistance, the Boere lined up at Lancer's commacd, and keeping them b;fore bim, he marched them 10 miles itll General Little's camp at Hoopstad.. General Little, to show his appreciation tf the deed, lint the captor down ia charge of the pruoniro he bad thus ciptnred.
