DAINTREE RIVER …. The blacks have been a little troublesome of late. Two of Mr. Daniel Henderson's working-bullocks were badly speared recently, and came galloping into the camp with several spears sticking in them. One of them was so badly treated by the blacks that he had to be roped and thrown in the yard so as to cut the point of the spear out, which had gone very far into the flesh, and down alongside the shoulder bone. Bullocks which have been speared very seldom recover properly; though they may be worked after the wound is healed up, they never turn out the same animals again. The blacks also speared, killed and roasted, a saddle horse belonging to another cedar getter, and all that was found by the party who went out looking for him was a few bones.
