Case ©fHydropliobia in Houston.
The editor of the Telegraph spoke some
time ago of an apprehension of nfhd dogs
in Houston, and it seems that, after his
return from LaGrange, while reading á
jocuUr piece in the Citizen about the
editors thusenior saw there, he suddenly
became strangely influenced, took the con-
*igfions,.jumped up and reared around at
a great rate, reguetliog somebody to "hold
. him,*1 and finally fell with its of alarm-
ing symplom?r*whfcíi, we regret to say,
terminated-in-a ease of confirmed hvdro-
phebia. lie pitched at everything near
him, a«¿ seizing his pe i his wild de-
lirium, wrote the most awful piwlure of
the personal appearance of the senior
editor of the Citizen that we have ever
read. Why, one-would think from read-
ing life description thafe the senior is as
hideous in persona as Milton's woman at
thf gates of Ilell—something awful to
behold ! Of eourse he is- e*e sabl«s con-
sidering the conditio he was in when he
wrote, and we only desire to remove any
false impressions which it might make.
nis slander of rthe lady into whose
room the'liotel keeper arid the senior en-
tered by mistake nuistgalso be corrected.
Instead of being thrown into u convul-
sions," ae the editor would* have as be-
lieve, fche acted like an honorable lady anil
acknowledged the mistake, while a t>mile
played over her face* Pike the eonaten-ance
of a Sleeping Beauty when the mellow
moonbeams fall on her-alabaster features,
and she dreams for the first time of float-
ing into the realms of Elysium £ Oh,
Yankee editor, receive one thought into
thy wooden autm eg; soiii!
At last accounts tbe editor was no bet-
ter. He seems to wander about like a
certain spirit (Mammon) "¿who, [with the
arch fiend, was) kicked over the battler
meats of heaven, and, after falling uva*y
furlongs, at last lit in Hell oa solid ground
and forthwith wandered*about with his
head down in search of a gold mine!

speedy recovery, and the eatire absence of

much compliment for taking part in the i hydrophobia in Houston L
exercises and enlivening them by the per-
formance of choice pieces of music on tbe
piano—among them we may mention the
names,of Mrs. Dardbm, Mrs. Kifdrzd,

senior of the firm in thia place, informs us
that the establishment i Houston suffered

have tried him, and know what we say.
£3T We see from his paper that our
friend, TuompSon, did? not get a ticket" to
the Ball aud Supper at LaGiange. Now,
we object to this. After extolling the
liberality of the people, to hear of their
neglect—it must have been sheer neglect—
of one of their own editors falls rather barsL*
ly on the ear. A gentleman of Thompson's
social qualities is always welcome at social
gatherings.
We are requested by |be Columbus
Band of Amateur Musioians to make a
public acknowledgment of their higfl ap-
preciation of tbe many favors shown tftem,
by Messrs. Wikduow and Jenkins, hoping
that they may never have cause to regret
the repeated manifestation* of kindness so
liberally extended. Also, that they will
ever entertain a- lively recollection of the
generosity of the few friendo who encour-
aged their efforts by such a marked display
of approbation.
M3T We were pleased Co meet in our
town this week, the gemjemanly and
courteous editor of the Bastrop Advertiser,
who, with his family was returning from
an extensive tour to the State . Mr. Cain

of traveling were very light, as the editor

received everywhere he went, and frequently
honored with distinguished positions in
publás meeting . We are glad that the
fratefnity was so well represented, and
shared such honor .
Tub "Stor ."— A "storm" came off
at Mr. J. a TannbbV, two miles- from- town,
on Friday nigh*, and was numerously at
tended by the young folks of Col ambus
and the friends m the immediate vicinity.
The moon shone brightly in a "cloudless
sly," and the soft south- wind pleasantly
fanned* the aheeke of " foir women and
brave men," who were enjoying innocent
recreatÜMf in the capacious and hospitable
mansion of the worthy proprietor. Some
engaged in the pleasures of Terpsfeftore,.

midnight meridian, had1 sunk low in th
shadowy West ere the party broke up and
dashed off in their buggies like lightning
for home. It was a pleasant " storm."
The Examination.
The closing exercises of tbe current ye
of Colorado College occupied a consider
ble portion of this week. The exam
tion was lengthy and thorough ; and
have reason to know that it was so con*
ducted as to give the community an op-
portunity of ascertaining the real progress
of the pupils. It did not consist of select
parts of their studies, prepared for the oc-
casion, but it was extended without re-
striction to whatever thej Lad studied
during the session ; and it wa3 conducted
partly by visitors,- who eould not have
kcown anything of such an arrangement, if

Tuesday night a larga audience assem-
bled to hear the lectures of Dr. de Graf-
fen ried and Prof. Taturrr. The Doctor, by
speciaF request, lectured upon Physiology ;
and the expectations of his friends ware
not disappointed, for he gave us an admir-
able elucidation of tbe subject. The ac-
complished Professor, in treating his
favorite topic—the Fine Arts—^brourfl

A great number of pieces were spoken;

promise of the future. Among other per-

which muet have cost the pupH gre*t

were received by the audience with justly
merited applause. Such was the interest
excited by these exercises that, on Thars-

Otrr of Town.—On last Saturday even-
ing, five merry couples of the young ladies
and gentlemen of our town paid a flying
visit to the neighborhood of Harvey's
creek. We were agreeably and plea9antly
eatertained at the residences of Dr. Atkins
«f^frs. Jenkins, to whom'onr thanks ate
A protracted Methodist meetirrg
ng ow at the*Church, and we tire
to-learn that several accessions to
the church have been the result. The
crops on the* creek look belter than ac-
count had led us to anticipate. From
twenty to thirty bushels of com will be
made per acre on many of the farms ; and
the cotton prospect* fe'yet very good. We
noticed many evidences cf improvement
in that seetion, and it is dccidedly a good
part of our county.
Speaking of the crop prospects', &c.,
reminds us that we observed several very
good diminutive specimens of the genus
homo, who were particularly fascinating
and "'scattered the gems oí the beautiful,1'
much to the discomfiture of some of the
party.
We started home affer«eupper, and had
most delightful drive of a dozen miles,
by moonlight, to town. Of the ineid-enrfs
of tbe trip, they are " to memory dear."
A small comet is visible in the
North western sky, just after suoaet, from
thw point. We are not awvre of its name,
aud consequently cannot gireaiiy informa-
tion concerning it.

•'That party i one pre-eminent ly of
the Unios-andUhe Constitution, recogniz-
