N.S W. Lancer's Death.

A sad accident occurred at the Remount camp (writes our Stellenbosch correspondent), one of the rough riders of the New South Wales Lancers being gored to death by a, bull. It appears the unfortunate man and a companion were returning from the Highlanders' camp, to their own. What exactly happened I cannot say, but from what I gather the men were too olosei to the fence and raised the bull's anger, whether 1 by teasing him or not I cannot say; however, the bull went for him, breaking the fence, and simply ripped him up, and trampled him to a jelly. The other m.m prudently decamped. The inquest was held on the following morning, and the funeral took place in the afternoon, being attended by about 50 of his comrades (mounted) and in passing through the village were joined by a large unmber of citizens. The unfortunate man's name was Cunningham. He. leaves a widow and two children. The burial service at the grave side was conducted by the Rev. Mr Hamilton, Presbyterian minister, and was most iinpressive.~"Cape Times."
