HINTS TO EílIG^NTS.
Local tenders his thanks to
.Mr. J. M Riley for « box of sugar of
lemon which he pronounces very
rich. Riley has bought out Mr.
Armstrong's interest and is now alone
on business, he keeps a large supply
of confectionary and groceries, and if
yoawant a drimA of ice cool soda
/water or lemonad^ere is where yon
.will be sure to find it.
ty Wo are glád to see so much
energy and promptness manifested
by our authorities to «any out the
quarantine regbktions and keop the
yellow fe*$r .away. We think that
with due diligence our place may
probably he saved from that awful
calamity.
BP Mr. feane has again placed
as under obligations fer Some choice
melons, &c., for which we return our
sincere thanks. If yen want choice
groceries and them tbat are guaran-
teed, give Sane a call.
The Chilian Minister returned
from Peru, showing tne best relations
-toexist between the two governments.
Thé port of Pisco, near tbe Chin-
cha Islands, has been declared open.
A dewea was issued 22d July pro-
hibiting .entrance bj Spaniards into
Span.
Under the captiou, "Edn 0^^ *^ot"
tings," the Petersburgh Iuo.ex "n*
morously takes off some featnK'-3 0i
the popular furore for Bn:zil. We
quote:
"There is a 'delightful region in
South America, accessible by steam-
boat, which is not only pleasant to
live in, but affords a charming pros-
pect for all who wish to die, as well
as to live, easy. It is peculiarly
well suited for those of our fellow
citizens who look forward for sup-
port to public offices and confiscation.
"The vegetation of the country is
perennial, and the splendor and ele-
gance of nature are, beyond descrip-
tion, fine. The emigrant, likt? the
native, has only to step ashore, go
into the woods, and be happy. He
reclines, with dignified ease, under -
neriih the first clump of trees. On
looking np, be discovers the ' bread
frtíít growing, and above that the
pe&dant branches of tbe cocoanut.
"in the same woods the shirt tree
grows, decribed by the 'celebrated
traveler, Humboldt. The tree is
felled with an ordinary k&ife, the
skin is taken off, two arm-boles are
cut in it, and there is the shirt. A
work of five poor little minutes, such
as one may get through with lazily
in an idle spell, whittling off the
small end of nothing from a chunk of
soft pine.
'-«To vary the diet, one need only
w Jnstle for a native, who will come,
and for the consideration of half a
cent, vii' produce from his traps two
dozeh w0.3kC0ck3, which are plentiful
there, and we all know, are most
delicious eatih'g' -For one cent you
may obtain a bashed of sweet pota-
toes. The yam, indeed, grows al-
most spontaneously, fltfd is brought
to its highest state of perfection by
being simply poked in U hole and
covered with sand, an operation .re-
quiring no more energy than is ne-
cessary to dip up a gourd of water
and drink.
' **A11 sorts of fruits grow in the
greatest abundance, and force them-
selves inte observation by their pros-
fusion.
"Death in that country is, as we
have intimated, easy. All that is ne-
cessary is for one to satiate himself
with yams, bread-fruit, shirts, grapes
and laxiness, and lie down in a jun-
gle and go to sleep. When he wakes,
he will find himself in the belly of a
boa-constrictor or Heaven, or per-
haps somewhere else."
An old Dutch farmer had a hand-
some daughter named Minnie, who
recently joined tbe Methodist church,
against which the old farmer was
somewhat prejudiced. The young
minister under whose instrumentality
Miss Minnie was converted visiting
her frequently, excited his suspicion
that all was not right. Accordingly,
he visited the church ona Sunday
night, and seated himself, nnobserv-
ed, among the congregation.
Soon after taking his seat tiie min-
ister who was preaching from L4aniel,
5th chapter, 25 th verse, repeated in
a loud voice the words of his textr
" Mene, mene, tekel upharson, upon
which the old farmer sprang to his
feet, seized the affrighted girl by the
arm, and hurried her out of the meet-
ing house. Having reached the
church yard, he gave vent to his feel-
ings in the words:
"I knows dere vas sometings
wrong, and now I schwares to 'em."
" Why, father what <Jo you mean,"
replied the bewildered and innocent
girl.
" Didn't I," shouted the old man,
striking his fists together, and stamp*
ing with his foor,#'' didn't I hear de
parson call out to you," " Minnie,
Minnie, tickle the parson."

' -1- iully to in torm the citizens of Hemp-

Removal of Sheridan.-The Nation-
al Intelligencer says:
The sneers of the Radical press
in reference to the delay in the
removal of General Sheridan are
quite out of place. It seems, that so
far from the delay being the result of
any change of determination a$ to
him, it is referable solely to the
caution proper to be observed to des-
ignating his successor. In this con-
nection we may say that telegraphic
despatches from this city announcing
the probable appointment of General
Rousseau are incorrect. They doubt-
less grew out of the fact that his
presence has been requested at
Washington. He comes here on other
and altogether different business.
arrested.
Waco.—From the Register.
The skeleton of a man was found
on last Thursday, about nine miles
from Marlin, and. sixteen from this
city It seems to have been shot
through the head with a ball from an
arrnv six shooter, and from the rem-
nanfs of clothing and other eviden
ces, the act must have been committ-
ed some time last springs The
parties wh<# found tbe body, say that
circumstances warrant the belief, that
it is the body of the man Graham,
who was confined in tbe jail at this
place, upon the charge of murder, and
who made his escape, in the early
part of the spring. The articles of
clothing found, were a fine article of
blue Kentucky jeans pants, pieces of
a brovpn linen coat, one white shirt,
with fine linep bosom, and one ppotted
sálico shirt, bosom trimmed with
dark braid.
Victoria.—From the Advocate.
Wb have considerable sickness in
town, but we have heard of none, as
yet, that the physicians have pro-
nounced a case of yellow fever, yet
we should think it prudent for our
friends in the country cot to come in
until further notice.
Since writing the above one of our
most respectable physicians informs
us he has one case of yellow fever—
a freedman. We have heard of no
other. Hé ísnow convalescent.
Hender son.—From the Times.
Within the last few days the cot-
ton worm has appeared in most of the
cotton fields in this county. A week
a£.">, the prospect for a crop was fine,
no\w it is anything else, but we still
hopo it may not prove as bad as the
majority of farmers predict,
Marshall—From the Republi-
can.
The Cotton Worm.—The farm*?'®
in this county report the cotton
worm on many plantations in myriads
and fears are entertained that they
will make an entire sweep" of the
crop. This is gloomy intelligence,
carrying sadness to many hearts.
We hope that the destruction may
not prove as great as anticipated, but
at present the prospect is bad indeed.
Bastrop.—From the Advertiser
The cotton worm is making its ap-
pearance in ray cotton, says a plan-
ter of Washington county, writing
to the Galveston News under date of
the 30th ult., and I learn that they
are in the crops near Independence.
Another planter near that place says
he will not gather over fifty bags off
¿00 acres. The first letter says the
plant is Vetjr backward and poorly
boiled, but if the worms would stay
off we would make fair crops. /
Corpus Christi.—The Advertiser
records the murder of Alfred Morrill,
aged about twenty, and his younger
brother, aged about fourteen years.
The murder was committed by two
Mexicans at Ramirena Rancho, some
forth miles from Corpus Christi,
some time last month. The murder-
ed boys came to Texas from Philadel-
phia about a year ago. and in com-
p¡yiy with a younger brother, were
engaged in raising sheep. They
murdered for money, and about $45
in specie and $50 in greenbacks were
realized by the operation.
Affray.—Mr. Charles Stene, Esq.,
and Mr. Mat Plummer, both gentle-
men of the African persuasion, had a
little "unpleasantness " last Satur-
day, about a " fiddle screw." The
said-Charles, it is said, called the said
Mat a d—-d liar, whereupon Mat
went for " the said Charles with
fists and feet; and then came the
catastrophe. The said Charles being
moved and instigated by the. devil,
and not having at«heart the peace and
good order of this community, in and
upon the person of the said Mat, an
assault did then and there make,
and with a certain dangerous " weep-
ing," to wit. a pocket knife, in tne
r.'g.ht hand of him, the said Charles,
then and there ¿eld, he the said
Charles, the said Mat did then and
ther.a strike, bruse, stab and assault,
in anil upon the head, shoulders, legs,
arms and back of him, the said Mat,
thereby inflicting upon him, the said
Mat, five Berious wounds, of which
said woun d?, the said Mat now lan-
guishes, and languishing doth live
against the form of the statute in
such cases jnao'e and provided, and
" contra dcgnitu'lum requiescat." A
Coroner's inquest is to set upon the
body of Charles, iind see whether he
shall have Christian burial when he
dies.—Brcnltam Bavn cr.

IMPORTANT NO!ICE!
A LL persons holding deeds from the
-Í5L Hempstead Town Company, are
hereby requested to have them duly re-
corded in the County Clerk's office as
soon a& practicable, as it is impossibls to
ascertain who has the titles to the lots in
any other manner. There have been
several agents, and many of the books and
papers are lost or mislaid.
I shall goon and make quit claim, titles—
after waiting a reasonable time, for parties
having deeds to comply with the above re-
quest, to all the lots where no deeds ap-
pear on the County Records.

SS CAPTIONED. HEREAFTER.
ALL PERSONS are particularly noti-
fied not to trespass any further on
the Hempstead Town Tract, as I am de-
termined in the future to enforce the tres-
pass law in such cases, for cutting -.and
destroying the timber.
I would also respectfully request all
persons having town lots not their own,
fenced up, to remove said fences or other
obstructions as soon as the crops ean be
i/atliereíf as it embarrasses the sale of
most ralunblfl property, and the streets
must be ppened at once. Parties taking
warning may save trouble "nd expense.

THE HOUSTON
Navigation Company,
having consolidated their Stock with the
TEXAS NAVIGATION COMPANY,
and having now the command of annmber
of Steamboats, Barges and Tugs, is pre-
pared to a .Turd the most ample means of
Transportation from Galveston Bay to the
City of Houston. This Company offers
every induct nient to Shippers to .adopt
their line, fro.'n the fact that tbey avoid
on all Direct B>eight from New York and
other Eastern Cities, all charges at Gal-
veston for wharfage, receiving and for-
warding, or for advancing on lreights by
their 'line, and there are no charges for
receiving and forwarding freights sent
them by vessels not in their line, whether
from New Orleans or eí^ewhere. Freight
intended for the interior ot Texas, upon
arrrival-at Houston, is forwarded to the
consignees on the line of tiiese roads with-
out incurring any charges at Houston to
the Rail Road Depots.
Where shipments are made from New
York by their vessels to Houston, there ia
but a slight excess of charge over t.vie price
of freight from New York to Galveston,
and all charges at Galveston are avoided,
the goods being delivered at Houston on
our bill of lading and freight.
This Company having invested a large
and sufficient amount of capital in this
euterprize to meet all the demands of tfiis
trade, are prepared and determined to
make it an entire success, by offering in-
ducements to the whole interior trade of
the State.
This Company is prepared to take Cot-
ton at the city of Houston by this line and
whether intended for Galveston or else-
where, to save the shipper at least 33 per
cent, of costs of shipments by any other
mode.
There will be no charge upon or deten
tion of Cotton coming over any of the
Rail Roads to Houston, except drayage—
it will be promptly transferred from the
road to their boats and barges.
They ask your patronage for the
" Houston Direct Navigation Com-
pany," and pledge their individual repu-
tation to afford satisfaction to the public.
All consignments will be made to
"Houston Direct Navigation Com-
pany," Houston or Galveston, and all just
claims tor loss or damage, promptly settled.
