The past week has given your
reporter but few items calculated
to arrest the attention of your read-
ers. On Saturday, ihe 11th, the
Presbyterians had a well attended
meeting, and on Sunday morning
an infant was baptized, and as the
drops of water fell upon his sweet
innocent face, he crooned and
crowed as joyously as if he had
already entered the " pearly gates."
The presiding elder of the M. E.
Chnrch South delivered a lengthy
discourse on Sunday night and a
lecture opposing Bible Revision on
Monday ilight.
The Honorable Court of County
Commissioners met on Monday and
pressed the county business in their
UBnal brisk manner.
On Wednesday a sad death oc-
curred near town. Mrs. McCarthy,
an estimable lady, was taken ill
quite suddenly and died within a
few hours. She leaves her hus-
band, B. F. McCarthy and eight
children to mouru her loss.
Miss Bettie Taylor, one of Bur-
nefs most charming young ladies,
has suffered torments and pains in-
describable from the effects of a
bone felon, but thanks to the medi-
cal skill of Doctor J. S. Watson and
others, she is in a fair way to con-
válescing.
The scholars, teachers and
friends of the Union Sunday School
of Burnet .spent Friday pic nicking
at the grove and well of Captain
W. H. Magill. Old and young
alike voted it a joyous day. The
sun, as if determined not to mar
the pleasures of the occasion, hid
himself in the clouds and sent gen-
tle breezes to fan the cheeks of the
attendants, and filled the hearts of
the young men and maidens, the
old folks and ¡children, with sun-
shine. "Butter of freshness and
biscuits of snow '* and coffee, (the
indispensable fluid of most Tex-
ans,) with the arona of the JSast,
added to spring chickens, ham,
pickles and the innumerable class
of delicacies, such as preserves,
pastries, were spread out in
profusion upon the improvised ta-
bles. An address was to be deliv-
ered by Rev. Mr. Weaver, of Lam-
but he was prevented from
g present by ill health; and
with songs and croquet, swings
and strolls through the shady
grove, the occasion was one that
will long be remembered and treas-
ured by the participants as an
Oasis in Life's desert The school
is in a flourishing condition. Its
superintendent, Captain Cook, and
his assistant superintendent, Dr.
McSween, deserve the thanks of
the community ior their zeal in
thiB noble work. While in prepa-
rations for the pic nic and the ar-
rangement of the grounds, too

Messrs. Oatman, Stapp and Ogle.
The first named as-brimful of good
nature as an egg is of meat, was
very assiduous in Beeing that the
children and married ladies had
every attention, while Stapp and
Ogle especially devoted themselves
and their attentions to the charm-
ing young misses and maidens on
the gronnds. Messrs. Lawrence
and Hicks gallantly aided them.
All in all the day was one of inno-
cent enjoyment and served well its
purpose, that of giving relaxation
from life's cares to the old and
genuine heartfelt enjoyment to the
young.
Professor W. H. Russell is pro-
gressing well with his school, and
in our judgment is a most supe-
rior educator. Prompt at his post
and assiduously attentive to his
dutiee, which he discbarges in a
thorough and conscientious man-
ner. I verv much doubt if bis
equal in teaching can be found in
the State, and I know that when
found any community would be
fortunate in securing such services.
Crops continue promising. Most
of the wheat is ready for the
thresher and the yield very Cue.
Corn and oats growing nicely, and
so far a more seasonable spring
than the present can not be recalled
even by the oldest inhabitant.

Burnet, Texas, May 18th, 1878.

Gooch's Bitters.

If the present prospect of Texas
crops culminate in a realization of
expectations, the effect is bound to
be a great revival of business oí
every kind. They will stock cribs
and tmoke houses with a supera-
bundance of provisions for one
year, and leave the $50,000,000, for
which our cotton, cattle and wool
will be exchanged, free for invest-
ments in whatever direction may
be chosen. Whilst a large amount
will be expended upon the improve-
ment of farms and stock, a portion
will be put into public improve-
ments—in building factories and
new lines of railway, of which we
need twenty times moro than we
have.

There is great indignation against

Elko Nev. Post.
A car load of mules en route to Cali-
fornia from the far East were unloaded
here last Wednesday for a rest. One of
them sighted a green sagebrush and
rushed hungrily towards it for a luscious
feed. He nipped oil a mouthful of the
fragrant bush, chewed it a moment, spit
it out, bit himself and kicked to see if
he was dreaming, took another bite, and
then., with quivering lip, and the tears
coursing in torrents down his cheeks, ho
lifted up his voice and brayed a bray of
undisguised emotion. A peculiar brand
upon the animal was recognized by the
Indians as one used by their ancestors
hundreds of years ago, and his deep
emotion was no doubt, caused by unex-
pectedly finding himself once more amid
the scenes wherein he had whiled away
the joyous, innocent hours of his child
hood.
—A good place to board is at
the Willett building, kept by Mrs.
N. O. Campbell, lately from Bur-
net. She keeps, an excellent table
and all who take up their quarters
there for board will be made
comfortable.
The tax sales all over the State
make the people desperate. When
they remember that retrenchment
and reform have been promised,
and that these promises have ntft
been redeemed even in part, they
desire a change of administration.
If the government were successful-
ly conducted upon a tax of fifteen
cents on the hundred dollars, dur-
ing Throckmorton's administra
tion, when there was not one-
fourth the population and wealth
there is now, why can we not re-
turn to it? But the people will it,
and the change must come.
GRAND BALL!!
If you are unwell and want to
be able to attend the grand ball

A man's hate, says an exchange,
ot newspapers is in exact proportion
to the manner in which he uses
them. The more he reads without
paying for it, the more abusive he
becomes. So when you hear a
fellow abusing the paper, put him
down as, at best, a borrower.
Hon. A. T. Watts has written a
letter in regard to Gov. Throckmor-
ton's rail road record, which should
be read by everybody. Mr. Watts
has always been an earnest anti-
money subsidist, and as .a Texas
legislator made a reCOrd as such.
He knows when Throckmorton is
attacked as a money subsidist, that
the cause of such attack is either
the result of ignorance or of un-
just prejudice, and hence he comes^
to his defense as a bold, truthful
nraH, "giving facts "belonging to the
history of Texas legislation that
should be read by every voter in
the State. The letter of Mr. Watts,
originally published in the Mar-
shall Herald, may be found in this
paper. He writes from a stand-
point in which a comprehensive
view was had oí everything bearing
upon the record of Mr. Throckmor-
ton. But do not fail to read the
letter. It tells everything.—Austin

If. O. Rogers, formerly a painter

President Hayes is en the defen*
sive. He says that whether frauds
were committed in the Presidential
election or not, he had nothing to
do with them. It was Grant, he
says, who suggested the scheme of
the visiting statesmen, and that he
was not in the confidence or even in
communication with them. He
holds further that the electoral
commission settled the legality oí
his title, no matter how much ras-
cality may be developed by pro
posed investigations.
Dtntb Bate In Varlout Occupations.
Manufacturer and Builder.
Nobody doubts that the occupa-
tions of an individual has much to
do with his general health, and
with his chances of death. Statis-
tics prove that the death rate is the
lowest among professional men—
not physicians; then follow Prot-
estant clergymen, engineers, farm-
ers and laborers; next carpenters,
machinists, and workers in iron;
then come schoolmasters, tobacco-
nists, physicians, aud linally the
clergymen of the Roman Catholic
Church, among whom the mortality
is much greater than among the
Protestant clergy aud the othei;
professions named. Next we have
druggists and butchers, then miners
and giass manufacturers, plumbers
and copper smiths, railway em-
ployes and dock laborers, aud last
of all carmen, cabmen, horse-
keepers and inn-keepers, among
whom the mortality iá greatest,
and much more than double that
of the first mentioned occupation.
The deductions which may be
drawn from these facts are very in-
structive aud practically useful :
they prove Unit the quiet pursuits
of science tend to prolong life as
well as outdoor labor, provided it is
not on railways or among shipping
of hor.-:'\s; that to work in iron is
more wholesome than to work in
lend or copper, as might b" ex-
pected, while the confined l.i'uor <>f
a se!; lolmaeler ;sas injurious as the
state o!" cele!.:i''v of the Woman
Catholic pre it ; lastly, the inn-
keepers. being most < xpos-'d to tie
temptation of intemperance, have
the least chance for a long lift1, as
well as those with whom they ha-
bitually keep company.

tured two Rose brothers with
twentyrseven cattle, and one hun-
dred and fifty more heard from,

Murder In a Traveler's Camp.
Marshall, May 17.—Thursday
night J. O. Morgan shot and killed
Nichols Jackson on the farm of
E. M. Bell, sixteen miles south-
east of Marshall. Jackson & Golf,
of Hunt county, had been to Lou-
isiana with ponies, which they
traded for sheep, and were on their
way back when Morgan, the cook,
and Jackson disputed in camp as
to which should bring water for
camp purposes, Goff being tempo-
rarily absent at Shreverort. Dur-
ing the dispute Jackson bared his
breast banteringly to Morgan, who
had drawn a derringer, and said,
" now, shoot," and Morgan shot.
Morgan, who is from Bastrop
county, is still at large, having fled.
He is pursued by ofiicers.
