Right and Left.—Our friend Boyd
of the Paris Examiner is growing
wicked in his old age. Hear him:
The Radical party in Texas is hell-
born, short-lived and hell-hound.

The editor of the Tyler Index
says he sends his paper to Loughery's
Republican beeause he wants the
credit of giving the gospel to the
heathen. That's the place to send
your gospel, Manning—to the .heath-
era—civilized folks don't need it!
War! War!—Gov. Davis pronounc-
es Fannin county in a state of insur-
rection, and ready for martial law.
There has been more lighting in the
Governor's Mansion this summer
than in Fannin county. Accordingly
we pronounce the Mansion in state
of civil war, and appeal to the State
Guards to rally at once and put down
the rebellion! Fall in!
A New 'One.—-That frisky, frolicky,
rollicking specimen of newspaperdom
that we used to term "Dirty Face,"
alias, the Jasper News Boy, edited
by "cussin' Kellie," the fellow who
says his county is so healthy they
had to kill a man to start a grave-
yard, and that he wears Ruch stiff-
starched shirts the Madam has to
help ihim put them on by prizing at
them with the paker —comes to us
this week for exchange. The follow-
ing is its latest:
We'll be dog- goned ¡í somebody
don't get "spilt," «boo;; doubting our
veracity. Why, plague take our
skin if we don't tell more truth* than
anybody else in the State and are
getting credit for being the greatest
liar!
Some editora can't get credit, no
matter how much they lie.
Dog days and cat nights are upon

flaT* The Empr.;;üuui Uid, iu the
absence of Napoleon, is making war

the war paint likewise.

INDIAN NEWS.
We are informed by Wesly Rublq,
of Véalas Station, .who is just dowa
from Jacksboro, that a large party of
Indians made their appearance .-.near
Victoria Peak, in Montague county,
on the 29th ult., and killed two Ne-
groes. We learn from the sat&e
source that about the 25th ult., tho
Indians killed five white men and
captured ninety government mules ia
the vicinity of Fort Sill. They then
went to the Fort and ^demanded
tions. The government agent told
them he would not comply with, thair
demand until the stolen mules were
returned, and the murderers 'deliver-
ed up. The Indians replied that IS?
rations were not given . them they
would eat the white men. Beingia>
timidated by these threats., the^gav-
erument authorities, in order to sano
being masticated themselves, fur-
I)¡shed the required eatables.
Rev. G. >W. Slaughter, of,Palo Pi*>
to county, tells us that on Friday
the 29th ult., the Indians captured
eighteen head of horses from him «ou
Rock Creek, in Young County. &
week previous 13 head were stole*
from G. W. Lelmly.# at the *same
place.
On the 21«t July occurred a fighfc
between 2C Indians and the met), ,£Jt
the ranche of James P. Brown, >ú&
Palo Pinto county. Several head df
horses were taken from Browu—but
there were.no casualties so .-.far as
we are advised.
One Indian was seen at DaltouJg
ranche in Palo Pi .to, on the 29tk—
He had taken a horse out of the sta-
ble, but was frightened ofF, leaving
his booty. There are a great many
Indians in the country, and we ad viso
the people to be on their guard —
Wealherford limen.
Major Whitside, with forty caval-
ry, started from Fort Griffin on the
3rd instant, on an Indian scout.
Tr<e garrison at the post has been
strengthened, and we are glad to
hear of the activity prevailing there.
The Major has the reputation of spir-
it and gallantry, and we hope he may
be able to rub out a ;few score of
thieving redskins.—State Journal..
We leaen that on Monday evening
there happened the most distressing
accident it has ever fallen to our lot
to record. A Miss Bounds, Aged
about 11 years, daughter of our
fellow-citizen 0. Bounds, was riding
on the reaper with her brother, the
mules became frightened and ¿raa |
away, throwing AJ/iss. Bounds ofl^
and her clothes becoming entangled
iu the driving wheel she was drawn
into the machinery and literally cut
to pieces, killin r her almost instant-
ly.—Sheriran Courier.
