CITY SUMMARY.
To-morrow is the last day the council
committee is authorized to receive old
scrip. Bear it in mind.
A strange man died last night at the
residence of Mr. Jeffrey’s. His funeral
will occur this afternoon.
The recorder was entertained with only
one ease yesterday. A man who paid the
usual tine of twenty-live dollars and costs, j
It was reported on the streets last
evening that the game of Keno was soon
to be revived. A man from Dallas is said
to have the matter under supervision.
Subscribers to the building fund of the
North Texas, normal and business insti-
tute, are requested to meet at the office of
Maj. Timberlake, on Monday evening at
7:30 p. M. the 28th inst. to take steps for
the location and incorporation of said in-
stitute, and to attend to such other busi-
ness as may legitimately come before the
stock holders.
A Democrrt man attended the “old
horse” sale of unclaimed express packages
yesterday, and was deeply interested tot-
more than an hour in the rapid disposi-
tion of articles, the value of which buyer
and seller were alike ignorant. One very
solid looking package was eagerly sought
for and sold at a high tigure, when open-
ed it contained two bottles of medicine. |
which of course were valueless. The re- i
porter discovered from the form of one J
package, that it contained a hook- thirsts |
ing for literary love, he parted with a 1
subsidiary coin, stamped “half dol." ami
took the coveted volume, it proved to be
a directory of the state of Vermont, an
an invaluable work for a reporter of a
Texas newspaper. There were other
purchases equally amusing, and many a
••guffaw” was sent up as an individual
was discovered as badly sold, as the
articles were.
