We take the following extract
from a correspondence dated Camp
Supply, Aug. 15th, 1875 :
“Nothing has come of our scout-
ing so far. Two companies under
command of Capt. Nolan were sent
out twenty-five days ago; on the
fifth day they approached a large
camp consisting of seventy-two
lodges; the Teepees they destroyed,
but the Indians were left unmolested.
•This party returned to camp ten
days ago, but again left after getting
recuperated, without its commander,
who is now at this camp. The news

“I guess so."
“No kite—-no ile," he said, as he
drew back.
“Well, I’ll buy you the kite,” she
replied, filling the spoon clear up.
“And the velocipede? ”
“I’ll think of it.”
“You can’t think no castor oil down

for his hat.

Sensations for the Country Press.
Newspapers which ignore the sen-
sational news of the day are only
those whose style of journalism
originated in early ages, and whose
only legitimate plea for public
patronage consists in antiquity.
Years ago, a local item was seldom
found in a country newspaper, and
even a sensation was scarcely given
a passing notice, but to-day a news-
paper that does not give these, is
justly called prosy and stupid, while
those who do are equally sought
after for their fresh and racy news.

that night.
Big Bear Hunt,
[Bellville Beacon.]
Last week some of our young gen-
tlemen, inspired no doubt by the
recollection of exciting stories which
they had heard in their infancy from
the lips of their sires and grand sires
of the grand sport they used to have
on the Brazos, killing “bar” and
Mexican lions, concluded to essay
their luck in the same direction,
and accordingly equipped wagons,
with more provisions than was al-
lowed a full regiment for ten days,
during a portion of the time embraced
in the late “unpleasantness.”
We learn that they struck the
Brazos below San Felepe, where the
underbrush is so thick as scarcely to
admit penetration by a bowie knife.
Here they hunted faithfully three
days, the greater part of the last one
being spent in seeking one of their
comrades who had become bewil-
dered and lost, whom they were/so
fortunate as to find, foot-sore and
exhausted, but “nary bar.”
They encountered a centenarian
who informed them that no bear had
been seen in that region for three-
fourths of a century, that the last
of the bear race had been killed
by the old man before he was a
voter.
A council of war was at once
called, and as usual in such councils,
there was a great lack of unanimity
of opinion. They separated, (friend-
ly, however), part coming home,
reporting progress—their remaining
companions in arms sttruck out for
San Bernard, said they had started
on a bear hunt, and shouldkill one
before they returned, if they had to
go to Tuxpan to accomplish it. Deer,
turkey and other small gamev were
abundant, but what are such ermin
as these, when men are on a “bar”
hunt ?
“Printer’s Devil.”—The origin of
“printer’s devil” has been traced
back to Aldus Manutius, a printer of
Venice. In the establishment of this
worthy was a young negro boy, who
rendered assistance in the multifari-
of a Mr. Smith, carrying a shot gun,
his life, he said, having been threat-
ened by certain parties.. The man
alighted and set his gun down by the
side of the fence and hitched his horse. fences that can be put in type ma-
“How much?” he very cautiously
inquired.

about thirty head of cattle have been

the rest of the impounded animals
twenty-seven cows, one bull, four
steers, nine yearlings and one jenny,
have been sold and bought in, prin-
cipally by the owners, at an average
of $1 per head, all which goes to
show, that the popular superstition
about the cow being a sacred animal
is loosing its hold on the people.
The Burnett Bulletin says that Mr.
Robert Burnam sent us two speci-
mens of countyapples.“These were
beautiful in appearance and delicious
to the taste. This fact proves the
practicability of producing fine fruit
in this section, and it would certainly
add very greatly to the comfort and
value of any homestead, to have such
fruit as was sent to us. We are

Mr. S. came out to meet him; the
horse took fright, pulled the fence
down, causing it to fire and the con-
tents were discharged into the stom-
ach and bowels of Mr. S., killing him
almost instantly. His remains were
interred Sunday afternoon, near the
scene of the tragedy.
The Dallas Commercial says that a
gentleman from the country, brings
us the intelligence that at the
house at which he took lodging last
night, on the McKinney road, eight
miles from this city, a man by the
name of Jones was found dead about
an hour after he had retired. He
appeared to be in good health after
supper, and left the family circle for
the night, with extensive plans made
for the purchase of a large lot of
cattle in Western Texas, and was to
leave this morning.
[Waco Reporter.]
We learn that merchants of Marlin
arc bidding for the trade of Cow
bayou valley, and the Perry neigh-
borhood, all of which has heretofore
found its way to Waco; and to
secure it they built, more than a year
ago, a magnificent bridge over the
Brazos at the Falls, and they are
now opening up a road direct from
this bridge to the town of Perry.
They are causewaying the Brazos
bottom and putting up good bridges
across all the streams between Mar-
lin and Perry. Thus it will be seen
that an effort is being made to take
trade from our very doors. In the
name of the business interests of
Waco we insist that the authorities
look into this matter. Let- them see
