CITATION.
an old and good citizen, was taken aback at
this ebullition, so indicative of popular
opinion on the stock ordinance, and dis-
covering he had put his foot into into it,
said. ‘‘Well, well, I have lived in Houston
years and years, and this is the first time I
have ever had the. term thief applied to
me! ”
A warrant was issued for the arrest of
the plucky iron dealer, whose presence was
desired before His Honor, Recorder Leh-
man, this morning, for having interfered
with officers in the discharge of their
duty.
PUTTING A HEAD ON A CYPRIAN.
A couple of Milesians, Andrew Peor
and Henry Campbell, asssisted by a young
grocery dealer doing business in the neigh-
borhood of the tombs at the old grave-
yard, were charged before Justice McGow™
an this morning. with assaulting the
eyprian, Ann Simmons, colored. What
was the cause of the row, could not be
ascertained.

POST OFFICE CARRI ERS,
A citizen gives it as his opinion that
according to the Postal Law every town
with more than 20,000 inhabitants is en-
titled to a postal carrier. If so Houston is
entitled to a carrier, and let us have one.
What says Mr. Scanlan ?
THEFT OF CIGARS.
One Demorest, colored, (no relation to
the publisher of Demorest’s Fashion
Monthly), was in a peck of trouble this
morning under a charge of theft of ten boxes
of cigars from Mr. S. L. Hohenthal. The
matter was before Justice McGowan for
investigation.
THE NINETEENTH.
Not a few of our citizens believe the
prediction said to have been made by Prof.
Tice, of another storm here and in the G ulf
on the 19th of October. Tice professes to
foretell this fresh hurricane from planetary
conjunctions and influences on our little
planet. We may be like those unfortunate
antideluvians, who wouldn’t believe Noah
when he foretold the deluge, but will take
the chanees of Tice’s hurricane, and snore
soundly ontthe night of the 18th. We shall
change our opinion of Prof. Tice only when
washed off or blown out of sight by olian
blasts.

DRYING COTTON.
The cotton injured during the late
storm by floating into the Bayou is still
undergoing the drying process. Messrs.
Guion and Smith have now about 250 bales
opened and contents spread in the sun in
Peregdy’s car yard. They have a number
of laborers superintending the drying. As
soon as the staple is dry it is put into a
compress temporariiy erected under Mr.
Peregoy’s shed. It is thought the loss
per bale, everything included. will be
from §5 to $6 per bale.
About 100 bales are still drying in the
sun near Galveston Depot, and those in
charge say it requires particular watchful-
pess to prevent the inroads of thieves.
